BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 72% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: This is wild. I'm writing about a player rostered on more than 70% of all Yahoo leagues for probably the time ever. Still, it makes all of the sense knowing the current condition of the Los Angeles Chargers receiving corps and the role Joshua Palmer has taken on.
Palmer was the only fantasy-relevant WR active on the Chargers' gameday squad last Sunday at Atlanta. And as is customary, he very well delivered. Palmer caught 8-of-10 targets for 106 yards, breaking the 100-yard barrier for the first time this season. It's the second game in a row for Palmer getting into the top-24 real at the position.
Palmer got 8 and 9 targets on back-to-back games in weeks 2 and 3 but didn't top 6 in the following two games until doing so in Week 6. Now, of course, you have to count on Palmer not playing football in Week 7 (injury) nor Week 8 (bye), so we'll see if he can keep this "streak" of sorts going or if it's just a random set of two datapoints in his full-season game log.
While having up and down moments through the season, Palmer doesn't merit much further discussion when it comes to adding him to all rosters, in all leagues, with weekly starts ahead of him for most fantasy GMs without caring about the league format just because of the status of the Chargers rotation.
