Joshua Palmer

WR Joshua Palmer caught five of his six targets for 43 yards a touchdown in the Chargers 41-29 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Palmer received more opportunities with Mike Williams being placed on the COVID-19 list and made the most of it. He caught the only touchdown that Justin Herbert threw but didn't do much else besides that. If Williams is out yet again, he will look to get back in the end zone next week against the Broncos.

WR Joshua Palmer caught five of his seven targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the Chargers 37-21 win against the Giants on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Palmer received the most targets on the team and produced a solid fantasy line for those who started him. He took advantage of the increased opportunity with Keenan Allen out and might've earned himself more playing time. If Allen is out again, Palmer will be another solid start, but if Allen is back, it'll be hard to trust Palmer.

Josh Palmer secured three of five targets for 26 yards in the Chargers' 27-0 preseason loss to the Seahawks on Saturday night.

Fantasy Impact

Palmer finished third on the night in receptions, receiving yards, and targets for the Chargers. The rookie third-round pick battling for the No. 3 job at WR but looks to be behind fellow receiver Tyron Johnson going into the season.

Chargers rookie WR Josh Palmer caught his lone target for a three-yard score in Sunday evening's loss to San Francisco.

Fantasy Impact

Palmer made a diving catch in the end zone, after QB Easton Stick was forced to scramble on a broken play. While he was much more quiet tonight compared to his previous performance of six receptions for 36 yards, he appears to be entering the season as the No. 3 wideout after Keenan Allen and Mike Williams. Fantasy managers should keep Palmer on their watchlists as the year progresses.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie WR Josh Palmer "has an NFL body already," Albert Breer reported Saturday. Breer added, "In Joe Lombardi's Saints-centric scheme, [Josh Palmer would] fit in a Michael Thomas type of role." Breer visited the team as part of his annual training camp tour.

Fantasy Impact

With Keenan Allen and Mike Williams presumably ahead of Palmer in the pass-catching pecking order, Breer's report is eye-popping. Palmer presumably entered camp battling for the team's WR3 slot. Palmer's preseason usage and alignment will be a situation to monitor in the lead-up to Week 1.
