BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 9% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Before the start of the second TNF of the season between the Chargers and the Chiefs it made (some) sense to find Palmer rostered in fewer than 10% of all Yahoo leagues. Yes, Keenan Allen was expected to miss that game – he did miss it – but this being Palmer, well, the doubts in the fantasy football community were somewhat reasonable. That shouldn't be the case anymore, though.
Palmer already logged 50 snaps (75%) in the Chargers' W1 game but his presence on the field wasn't that impactful. He got four targets (not bad) but his three receptions only turned into five measly yards for a measly 3.9 PPR tally. Palmer's Week 2 outcome, though, was extraordinary.
With Allen out and Mike Williams the only other viable WR in the offense, Palmer racked up as many as eight targes of which he caught four for only 30 yards... although he hauled in his first touchdown of the season. With the exception of TE Gerald Everett, only Williams (10) got more looks than Palmer against the Chiefs among pass-catchers playing for the Chargers.
As long as Allen is out (he's expected to return in time for W3 but he might be eased into the game with a limited set of snaps) then Palmer will take on legitimate WR2 reps only behind Williams. DeAndre Carter only got three targets last TNF and four in W1, so he'll be the WR3/WR4 of the offense at most. Even with Allen out, Palmer should be a nice addition for GMs in deeper leagues looking for FLEX options with upside.
