LAC WR Joshua Palmer - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at New York Jets

Josh Palmer’s good run of form hit a bump in the road against the Bears in Week 8. Palmer came into the game slightly banged up with a knee issue, and he seemed to aggravate the injury during the game. He was able to continue, however, and finished with three receptions for 24 yards. Palmer has three or more grabs in six straight games, though no more than five, and his 24 yards were his lowest since Week 2. Palmer finished as the WR78 in Half-PPR scoring and is the WR55 in points per game.

Assuming he is healthy, we shouldn’t be expected an eruption from Palmer this week, facing the toughest wide receiver matchup in the entire league. The Jets rank first in aFPA to wide receivers, and fantasy managers expecting big things from Palmer should seriously their expectations. It’s hard to trust him as anything more than a high-end WR4 option this week.

LAC WR Joshua Palmer - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Chicago Bears

Joshua Palmer had his best game of the season in Week 7, catching five balls for 133 yards. Palmer has gone over 60 yards in each of his last four outings. Palmer finished as the WR11 last week, and over the last four games, he ranks as the WR23.

The Bears, who the Chargers play in Week 8, have actually been slightly less generous against wide receivers than other positions in 2023. They rank 16th in aFPA to the wideouts, compared to 30th against RBs and 20th versus tight ends. Palmer has been a steady performer, but he's still a way down the target totem pole. He should be able to produce WR3 numbers in Week 8.

LAC WR Joshua Palmer - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Kansas City Chiefs

Josh Palmer had quite a productive day against the Cowboys last week but wasn't able to turn it into much from a fantasy standpoint. He caught four passes for 66 yards, marking his third straight game with 60 or more yards. These deeds translated to 8.0 Half-PPR points, good for WR37 last week.

The Chiefs rank seventh in aFPA to wide receivers this week. Palmer's role gives him something approaching a WR3 floor, but there is very little ceiling about his profile. He looks like a WR4 option this week.

LAC WR Joshua Palmer - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Dallas Cowboys

After four games of the 2023 season, Josh Palmer has amassed 11 receptions for 160 yards and a touchdown. He set a season-high with 77 yards in Week 4, but he is averaging a mere 6.4 Half-PPR points per game.

Wide receivers have not enjoyed much success against the Cowboys in 2023, with Dan Quinn's charges ranking 9th in aFPA to the position. Palmer should be viewed as no more than a WR4/Flex option in Week 6.

LAC WR Josh Palmer - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Josh Palmer had his most productive game of the season in Week 3 against the Vikings, Palmer played 61% of the Chargers' offensive snaps and earned seven targets. He corralled four for 66 yards and a touchdown, giving him 12.6 Half PPR points and a WR27 finish for the week.

The Raiders have been better against wide receivers than other positions so far this season, and rank 11th in aFPA to wideouts. Palmer has generally benefited from a higher workload when Mike Williams has missed time over the last few seasons, earning 15.8% of the targets with Williams out of the lineup compared to 10.9% when the former Clemson Tiger plays. Still, it's hard to get too excited about Palmer from a fantasy point of view, given his finishing as a WR3 or worse in 79% of his games over the last two seasons. He's a desperation WR4 option this week.

LAC WR Josh Palmer - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Indianapolis Colts

Josh Palmer played on just 65% of the Chargers' snaps in Week 15 against the Titans. He saw five targets and caught all five for 49 yards. This was his first game under 50 receiving yards since Week 10. Palmer finished with 7.4 Half PPR points, good for WR46 in Week 15.

Palmer and the Chargers have an unimposing clash against the middling Colts' defense this week. The Colts rank 17th in aFPA to wide receivers this season, despite only allowing the fifth-fewest receiving yards to wideouts this year. But with his role shrinking since the Chargers' other receivers returned, Palmer is viewed as a high-end WR4 at best this week.

LAC WR Josh Palmer - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Tennessee Titans

With both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams available, Josh Palmer saw his role diminish on the Chargers' offense. He played 79% of the snaps, his lowest share since Week 5, and drew just six targets. The last time he had such a low number of looks was also back in Week 5. Palmer caught four passes for 53 yards, his fourth game in a row with at least 50 yards but third in a row with no more than 60. Palmer scored 7.3 Half PPR points, good for a WR43 finish last week.

The Titans rank 31st in aFPA to wide receivers, allowing the third-most receptions and receiving yards along with the second-most touchdowns along the way. But with Allen and Williams eating as much of the pie as they are, it's hard to get too excited about Palmer. He's a barely usable WR4 this week.
