Joshua Palmer Fantasy Football Outlook (2025)

By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Wed, May 21st 2025, 5:35pm EDT

Josh Palmer quietly landed in a prime fantasy spot, signing a three-year, $36 million deal with the Bills - the fifth-richest WR contract in free agency. Still just 25 years old, Palmer joins a wide-open receiver room in Buffalo and is now tied to Josh Allen through his prime. While 2024 was underwhelming (WR77 overall, WR82 per game), Palmer dealt with an early-season knee injury and never clicked with the new Chargers staff. Now in Buffalo, he fits the profile of late-career breakout 5th-year WRs who thrive with a change of scenery. He showed flashes when healthy, even matching Quentin Johnston in yardage down the stretch before being shut down in 2024. With a top-tier QB, Palmer could surprise in 2025 as a post-hype sleeper.
