ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer has been out since Week 8 with a knee injury, but head coach Brandon Staley said there's a chance he will play again this year. The 24-year-old would slot right back into the number two option in a strong passing attack.
Mike Williams tore his ACL in Week 3. In Weeks 3-7, until Palmer suffered his knee injury in Week 8, he had seven or more targets in all four contests. During this four-game stretch, Palmer averaged just over seven targets, four receptions, and 84 yards per game. He's currently on IR with a knee sprain but was eligible to return in Week 13. He did not return to practice last week and there's been little information about when he might return.
With the up-and-down (mostly down) performance from Quentin Johnston, Palmer will certainly slot right back in as the team's No. 2 receiver behind star Keenan Allen. In that role, Palmer averaged 11.4 half-PPR PPG. With the Chargers' electric offense, Palmer should be viewed as a weekly WR3 with WR2 upside. It's unknown if he'll return in Week 14, but he'll be eligible to, and if he comes back, he'll immediately slot back in as a WR3 with WR2 upside.
