Joshua Palmer Fantasy

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer led the Chargers in receiving yards in a Week 4 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Palmer was targeted a team-high eight times, catching three of them for 77 yards. Most of his yards came on a 51-yard catch to close out the game at the end of the fourth quarter. His target share was encouraging, but Palmer had some ugly drops in this one too. He did seem to fill most of space left open by the Mike Williams (knee) injury. Palmer could put up WR3 numbers once the Chargers return from their bye.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer could have some fantasy value in a Week 4 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Palmer hasn't had a huge role in the Chargers offense yet this year, but with Mike Williams (knee) done for the season, it's easy to see Palmer stepping into a much more significant role in the passing game. In Week 3, when Williams went down, Palmer caught four of his seven targets for 66 yards and a touchdown. He's likely to serve as a sort of field stretcher for Justin Herbert and the Chargers offense, giving him a little of a boom-or-bust profile until his role becomes more clear. He's solidly in the WR3-4 conversation though.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer caught four passes for 66 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 3 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Palmer's score ultimately proved to be the game-winner. The third-year pro may be in line for more playing time if Mike Williams (knee) misses an extended amount of time, as is feared. The 25-year-old proved last season that he can put together strong fantasy football performances when given the chance. He is seemingly still ahead of rookie first-round pick Quentin Johnston on the Chargers' depth chart. If Williams' injury forces him to the sidelines, Palmer will be a popular waiver-wire addition this week.
