Chargers WR Mike Williams is OUT on Sunday.

Related Players: Keenan Allen, Josh Palmer

Allen could be in line for a vintage target-heavy game this Sunday, while Josh Palmer should sneak into WR2 territory.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen is not on the field for the portion of practice open to reporters. Allen has not practiced all week because of his hamstring.

There's not much more to say about Keenan Allen's lower body injuries. Josh Palmer should operate as the Chargers' WR1 and carries moderate fantasy value, even in a great matchup against the Falcons. He should be considered a WR2/3, while DeAndre Carter is a speedy Flex consideration.

Staley said Keenan Allen's hamstring injury has not “responded the way that we hoped.”

Allen will not practice today and it’s possible he will miss Sunday’s game vs. Falcons, per Brandon Staley. Williams has a knee issue which means the Bolts could be looking at a two-top WR tandem of Palmer and Carter. Palmer has cleared protocol and will play in Week 9, according to other reports.

Chargers are expecting Mike Williams to miss a minimum of four weeks.

The good news is the Bolts have a bye this week, which should give Allen a chance to get healthy and ready for what will likely be a huge workload with Williams out. Carter and Palmer are next up on the depth chart and should see increased roles. Williams was having a nice year averaging about 8 targets a game.

Mike Williams will continue to be the target hog in the Chargers' offense, while Deandre Carter and Josh Palmer can be considered desperation Flexes.

Staley said WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) and TE Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) will also do some individual work.

The hope is Allen can go for Week 3 but that remains to be seen. Williams did step up with a nice fantasy game in Week 2 against the Chiefs and would be a solid play again if Allen is out. The Chargers play a late afternoon home game against the Jags so owners probably want to have a plan in place in case he can't go in Week 3.

The Chargers have ruled out WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) and TE Donald Parham (hamstring) vs. the #Chiefs, while CB JC Jackson (ankle) is questionable.

With Allen out and Williams an uneventful Week 1, players like Palmer, Carter and even Guyton could have to step up in Week 2 in what could be a high scoring game against the Chiefs.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen is unlikely to play Thursday night against the Chiefs.

The tweet went on to say there is optimism after tests that his hamstring injury isn’t anything long-term, per sources. The Bolts Week 3 game is Sept. 25 against the Jaguars, two full weeks after the injury and the hope is there is a chance Allen will be ready to go for that contest. Allen led the way with a 4-66-0 line but Williams was pretty much a no-show. Carter posted a 3-64-1 line and Everett a 3-54-1 line. Palmer had three catches for just five years.

Josh Palmer has cleared concussion protocol and will be out doing individual drills today according to Staley.

Palmer seemed to be ahead of the pack for the Chargers WR3 job so it's good for him he's back. He's still behind Mike Williams and Keenan Allen in the pecking order but should be fantasy relevant at times this season.

WR Josh Palmer is in the concussion protocol, Brandon Staley said.

Reports last week said Palmer was pretty much locked into the teams WR3 role behind Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, but this shouldn't change anything going forward unless Palmer has to miss significant time. Guyton, Moore and Carter are up next on the depth chart.
