BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 30% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer was very solid this year when he had an expanded role, but he hasn't played since Week 8. The Chargers could use help at the receiver position, but the offense might be in trouble with injuries piling up.
Mike Williams tore his ACL in Week 3. In Weeks 3-7, until Palmer suffered his own 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. The Chargers opened his 21-day practice window last week, so fantasy managers should be optimistic Palmer returns in Week 15.
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. Justin Herbert was ruled out this past weekend with a finger injury to his throwing hand. Reports indicated he has a broken index finger on his throwing hand. It's unknown how long Herbert will be out, but given their record, his season could be over. If that's the case, Palmer's value essentially disappears.
