Contract Value Index (CVI)

**Zaccheaus Deal Earns Solid C+ CVI Despite Modest Investment** The Falcons secured decent value with Olamide Zaccheaus at $2.3M AAV, landing this deal squarely in fair territory for a depth piece receiver. At 28, Zaccheaus brings proven slot production and special teams versatility that justifies this middling investment, even if he's unlikely to emerge as anything more than a complementary target in Atlanta's passing attack. The two-year commitment with $2.3M guaranteed represents minimal financial risk while providing the Falcons with a reliable fourth or fifth receiver who can step up when needed. Zaccheaus has consistently shown he can contribute 300-400 receiving yards when given opportunities, making him a sensible depth addition rather than a roster luxury. This C+ CVI reflects exactly what competent front offices should do — secure known commodities at market rate without breaking the bank or betting big on upside that may never materialize.

Performance Analysis

Olamide Zaccheaus's F grade is a stark reminder that the small-school speedster experiment doesn't always work out in the NFL. After showing occasional big-play ability earlier in his career, Zaccheaus has been unable to maintain a consistent role with the Falcons. His limited size makes it difficult to win contested catches, and his route tree hasn't developed enough to compensate for the physical limitations. Atlanta has cycled through receivers, and Zaccheaus keeps ending up on the wrong side of the roster cuts conversation. The F grade reflects a player whose best asset — speed — isn't enough to overcome the other gaps in his game. He's a practice squad-level talent at this point in his career.

Fan Sentiment

A familiar-face depth signing that stabilizes Atlanta's thin receiver room without raising the ceiling. Multiple reporters frame this as a slot-stabilizer move, with Pelissero confirming the deal during free agency frenzy coverage. Zaccheaus returning home signals the Falcons trust his route-running familiarity with their system over upside. Fans are cautiously optimistic but note this isn't the splash upgrade the receiver room truly needs. Zaccheaus projects as a reliable fourth option who keeps the depth chart functional rather than competitive.
