Joshua Palmer's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer made three catches in a Week 16 win over the Denver Broncos. Palmer tied for the team lead in targets with six, making his three catches for 41 yards. He also made an incredible catch to score on a two-point conversion in the fourth quarter. Palmer made some solid plays in this game and remains an important part of the Chargers offense on the field, but it just isn't translating to fantasy value. He and the Bolts will face the Patriots on Saturday in Week 17.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer is an underwhelming option in Week 16 fantasy lineups. Palmer has been playing an important role on the real life Chargers offense, but it has barely turned into any fantasy points for the 25-year-old pass catcher. He's peaked at 13.3 fantasy points but has scored single digit points in all but two of his games. This week he will face a strong Denver Broncos secondary on Thursday Night Football, and while the Bolts always seem to have a play or two drawn up for a long pass to Palmer, he's been far too inconsistent and comes into every game with a very low floor.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer didn't do much in a Week 15 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Palmer was targeted just three times, making two catches for 10 yards total. It was a rough game for the Chargers offense in general, but Palmer certainly didn't do anything to stand out. The Bolts have a quick rest before taking on the division-rival Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football. Palmer should continue as a boom-or-bust type option without much upside.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer could have a big role on offense for a second game in a row in a Week 15 game against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Last week, with Ladd McConkey (knee/shoulder) forced to miss the game, Palmer saw nine targets thrown his way, making six catches for 78 yards, leading the team in all three categories. If McConkey plays, Palmer's floor and ceiling both drop significantly, but if the rookie misses another game, Palmer could be in the WR2 conversation based on volume alone. The Bucs defense has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing outside wide receivers, so Palmer would be in a good spot to thrive if he ends up playing with only Quentin Johnston and without McConkey.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer led the Chargers in most receiving categories in a Week 14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Palmer was targeted nine times, making six catches for 78 yards, all leading the team. Palmer took over as quarterback Justin Herbert's favorite target with Ladd McConkey (knee/shoulder) out and other Chargers pass catchers missing time throughout the game. A similar game plan could take place next week against Tampa Bay, where Palmer will be around the WR3/4 border if McConkey can't play.
