Palmer is a sneaky sleeper receiver given the other players he'll compete with for targets with the Chargers. When pressed into action in previous seasons, Palmer's been serviceable for Fantasy. And now that the Chargers cleaned house at receiver, Palmer should see regular reps. Consistently solid in terms of catch rate (at least 62% per year) and capable of winning on short and intermediate routes, Palmer could wind up first or second on the Bolts in targets and catches. That's not a bad outlook for someone you'll gravitate toward with a late-round pick, even if he'll play in a run-first offense.
Tasked with serving as the Chargers' No. 1 receiver more often than expected due to injuries to Mike Williams and Keenan Allen, Palmer delivered a pair of 100-yard performances and finished second on the team in receiving yards in 2023. Unfortunately, he was a top-30 positional scorer only three times, and he was limited to 10 games due to knee and concussion issues. Palmer could factor as a perimeter starter again, but that's more of a statement about the Chargers' lack of positional depth than his own talent. He's a depth piece for PPR formats who shouldn't be expected to provide any miracles.
