Trey Palmer, Jalen McMillan To Compete For No. 3 Job
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer had a good rookie season in 2023 considering his draft status and with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in front of him, but he has far from secured the No. 3 spot in an offensive system that is sure to be 11-personnel heavy in his second season. However, Palmer should be a lock for the active roster out of training camp, as should rookie Jalen McMillan, who the Buccaneers spent a Day 2 pick on in a deep receiver class. Palmer and McMillan are expected to battle for the No. 3 job in training camp this summer. With Godwin expected to move back into the slot in 2024, Palmer may struggle to match his rookie numbers (39 catches, 385 yards, three touchdowns), especially if McMillan impresses.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer has found the end zone in two of his last three games. Last week, Palmer hauled in one of his two targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The rookie wideout was quiet in the game outside of his huge score. It's worth noting that Palmer has 40 receiving yards or more in three of his last four games. However, he's still the third option on this offense behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin (knee) who is currently on the injury report. If Godwin sits, Palmer would likely see a bigger role in the offense. Otherwise, Palmer will likely remain an afterthought as he only has three total receptions in his last two games.
Trey Palmer Delivers Long Catch-And-Run Touchdown In Win Over Eagles
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer caught one of his two targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in the Wild Card victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. The rookie took a short pass and took it all the way to the end zone, opening a 25-9 lead for Tampa Bay late in the third quarter. The sixth-rounder from Nebraska posted just 39 receptions for 385 yards and three scores during the regular season, so he remains a touchdown-or-bust DFS option in a favorable matchup with the Detroit Lions in the NFC Divisional Round.
Trey Palmer Not A Viable Option For Wild-Card Round
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer has seen an increased involvement in the offense over the last few weeks. In fact, Palmer has hauled in 10 of his 13 targets over the last three games. During that span, Palmer has posted two games with over 40 receiving yards and scored one touchdown. The rookie wideout has moved his way up in the pecking order, but remains the third option in the passing game. The expectation is that Palmer will see a handful of chances this weekend. However, he remains a shaky option for DFS contests given that he's the third option in the passing game.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer (hip) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after practicing every day this past week. The rookie seems to have emerged as Tampa Bay's No. 3 wide receiver behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, especially after totaling 84 yards and one touchdown while playing 73 percent of offensive snaps in Week 17. He's an appealing dynasty stash but can be left on waivers for the final week of the season in redraft leagues.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver Trey Palmer (hip) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable to play in Sunday's Week 18 regular season finale against the Carolina Panthers. The 22-year-old will most likely play in a must-win game for the Buccaneers to win the NFC South title, but he might need to prove he's healthy during a pre-game workout on Sunday first. If he suits up, Palmer will continue to work behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in the receiving pecking order, making it hard for him to produce fantasy relevant numbers. Palmer hasn't been bad in his first NFL season, catching 37 passes for 375 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games, but fantasy managers can probably do better when searching for a flex play in Week 18. If he doesn't play, Deven Thompkins would likely serve as Tampa's No. 3 wideout.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer (hip) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. This marks back-to-back days that Palmer has been able to get through a limited practice. This is a bad time for Palmer to get injured with his role starting to expand in the offense. Over the last two weeks, Palmer has eight receptions for over 120 yards. Despite that, Palmer remains a the third option in this offense behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. That being said, both Evans and Godwin would likely see an even bigger target share if Palmer was to sit out in Week 18.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer has been much more successful over the last two weeks. The rookie wideout has eight receptions for over 120 yards over his last two games. It's nice to see the 22-year-old getting more involved in the offense. However, Palmer remains the third option behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in this passing game. That being said, there isn't a ton of value for Palmer heading into this Week 18 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Possibly, DFS players could use Palmer as a dart throw. However, Palmer remains a risky choice with both Evans and Godwin healthy heading into this game.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's team practice. Palmer appears to be tending to a hip issue that he suffered last week against the New Orleans Saints. The rookie wideout is coming off his best game of the season, catching four passes for a career-high 84 yards and one touchdown. He'll have two more chances to upgrade his practice status before the Buccaneers take on the Carolina Panthers in Week 18. Palmer doesn't provide much value this weekend in both DFS contests and season-long formats. However, he has seen at least five targets in back-to-back games.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer was a nice sparkplug for this offense during Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. The rookie wideout had a few big plays during Sunday's defeat. He hauled in four of his five targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in this game. Palmer snagged a 54-yard reception, but eventually fumbled the ball, which killed the Bucs comeback attempt. Regardless, it was a nice outing for the rookie wideout who has been having a bigger role in the offense lately. However, he'll barely be on the fantasy radar for the regular season finale versus the Carolina Panthers next week.
