Joshua Palmer Questionable to Play in Week 15

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) was limited in practice all week and is considered questionable to play in Week 15 versus the division-rival New England Patriots on Sunday, according to Maddy Glab of BuffaloBills.com. Palmer last played for the Bills in Week 12. Even if the 26-year-old is cleared to play this weekend, fantasy managers in deeper leagues should keep him on their benches. Palmer just has not been involved enough in Buffalo's offense in his first year with the team, catching 18 passes for 272 yards and no touchdowns on 29 targets over eight games played. He has yet to find the end zone and has gone over 50 receiving yards in a game in 2025 only twice. If Palmer misses another game, Gabe Davis and Brandin Cooks have a better chance of contributing behind Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman.

Joshua Palmer Remains Limited in Practice on Thursday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) is listed as a limited practice participant with an ankle injury for the second straight day on Thursday. Palmer has missed two consecutive games due to the ailment, and his status appears to be in question for Buffalo's critical Week 15 matchup against the New England Patriots. Across eight games played in 2025, the 26-year-old has recorded 18 receptions for 272 yards on 29 targets. While Palmer does not profile as a fantasy-relevant wideout even if active, his status could affect the target share and playing time for Bills wide receivers Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Tyrell Shavers. Unless he can practice in full on Friday, Palmer appears likely to head into the weekend with a questionable designation.

Joshua Palmer Limited in Practice on Wednesday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle, knee) is listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg reports. Palmer has missed the past two games with injuries to his knee and ankle, in addition to missing several games earlier in the season. The 26-year-old hasn't been an impactful fantasy football option when he has played, recording 18 receptions for 272 yards on 29 targets in eight games. The former Los Angeles Chargers wideout appears to be trending in the right direction for a return in Week 15 against the New England Patriots, but he should only be considered a fantasy option in the deepest of leagues.

Joshua Palmer Officially Inactive for Week 14

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle, knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. His absence was expected after he didn't practice this past week, and he was listed as doubtful heading into the weekend. Injuries have limited Palmer to just eight games in his first season with the Bills, and he has been underwhelming with just 18 catches, 272 yards, and zero touchdowns. Even when healthy, he's not a reliable fantasy football option. In Palmer's absence, Gabe Davis and Brandin Cooks should earn more volume in the passing game behind Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Tyrell Shavers.

Joshua Palmer Likely to Miss Another Game

According to head coach Sean McDermott, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (knee, ankle) has been deemed doubtful for Sunday's outing with the visiting Cincinnati Bengals. Palmer missed the team's Week 13 win over the Steelers with an ankle injury. Although he did not play, the 26-year-old picked up a knee issue, which has led to him being listed as a non-participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday. It would appear that Palmer is trending toward being inactive, meaning teammates Gabe Davis and Brandin Cooks will continue to see opportunities behind Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Tyrell Shavers in the passing game.

Joshua Palmer Not Practicing on Thursday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (knee, ankle) was listed as a non-participant for Thursday's practice session, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN reports. Palmer is trending in the wrong direction to play in Sunday's matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals after beginning the week with two missed practices. The 26-year-old hasn't played a big role for the Bills when healthy, collecting 18 receptions for 272 yards and zero touchdowns on 29 targets in eight games. With Palmer's limited impact and Keon Coleman's disappointing second season, the Bills have signed multiple free agents off the street for wide receiver help, bringing back Gabe Davis and recently signing a speed threat in Brandin Cooks after he was released by the New Orleans Saints. Davis and Cooks could see the field more on Sunday if Palmer does not play, but they are both deep-league dart throws, at best.

Joshua Palmer Won't Practice on Wednesday

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) will not practice on Wednesday, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Palmer is not on the right track to play this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14 after he was ruled out for last Sunday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 26-year-old is a receiver that belongs on the waiver wire in all 12-team fantasy football leagues anyway, as he just has not had a big enough role in Buffalo's offense in his first year with the team. Palmer currently has only 18 receptions on 29 targets for 272 yards, and he's still searching for his first touchdown. The fact that he wasn't able to do anything with Keon Coleman out for two games due to disciplinary reasons -- tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) was also out -- tells you all you need to know. Gabe Davis and recent acquisition Brandin Cooks will be more involved deep down the field this weekend if Palmer misses a second straight game.

Joshua Palmer Inactive for Week 13 Against Steelers

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to an ankle injury. Palmer returned from injury in Week 12 against the Houston Texans, recording two catches (four targets) for 21 yards, but entered Week 13 listed as questionable and will ultimately not suit up. The 26-year-old hasn't made a big impact since signing with the Bills in the offseason, totaling 18 receptions for 272 yards and no touchdowns on 29 targets in eight games. Keon Coleman and Brandin Cooks are both active on Sunday against Pittsburgh and should factor into the passing game along with Khalik Shakir with Palmer sidelined.

Joshua Palmer Hard to Trust Despite Easy Matchup

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer hauled in two of four targets for 21 yards in Week 12's 23-19 loss to the Houston Texans. Palmer has been quiet in his first season in Buffalo, as he's currently averaging his fewest fantasy points per game of his entire five-year career. Palmer is a part of one of the worst receiving units in the NFL and has been unable to stand out as a top option in this offense. Maybe this is the week, as the Bills face the league's worst defense against wide receivers this season in the Pittsburgh Steelers. While Palmer may be a cheap and tempting DFS option in Week 13, fantasy managers should steer clear of starting the veteran receiver this week.

Joshua Palmer to be Questionable for Week 13

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) will be limited in practice on Friday and will be listed as questionable to play in the Week 13 contest on Sunday against the hosting Pittsburgh Steelers, according to The Buffalo News' Katherine Fitzgerald. Palmer missed Wednesday's practice but will close out the week with two limited sessions, leaving hope that he will be active this weekend. Curtis Samuel has already been ruled out for Buffalo, but even if Palmer is active on Sunday, which is likely, fantasy managers should have better flex options to choose from. The 26-year-old has yet to score a touchdown in 2025 in his first year in Buffalo, and he just has not seen enough volume to warrant a roster spot in most leagues. With Keon Coleman being a healthy scratch the last two games, Palmer has had just four catches on nine targets for 38 yards.
