BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Josh Palmer's 2024 season has been disappointing so far, to say the least. He's averaging just 2.3 grabs per game on 3.3 targets and has been behind both Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnson in the WR pecking order in Los Angeles.
But he could see an uptick in snaps and targets tonight as Johnson is listed as doubtful and McConkey as questionable. It looks likely that McConkey will play, but Palmer could end up as the WR2 if Johnson is ruled out.
This Chargers offense, which is usually very run-heavy, has an excellent matchup against a Cardinals secondary that has been worked over by opponents so far this season. Arizona ranks 29th in passing DVOA defense and is 14th in the NFL in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers.
Chargers WR injuries this week: Questionable players are DJ Chark, Simi Fehoko, Ladd McConkey, and Derius Davis, along with Quentin Johnston as doubtful.
That leaves only Joshua Palmer off of the injury list for Monday’s game against the Cardinals. 😬😬#BoltUp #Chargers #NFL pic.twitter.com/oo1KgxNek4

One thing to watch for is the status of DJ Chark, who could return to action tonight. If Chark plays, then Palmer's value likely takes a hit and he's probably not startable in anything other than the deepest of leagues as a streamer.
