BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5
ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer picked up an expanded role after the losses of his team's top-2 WRs, Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle), but he didn't do much with his role. He's had just three catches on five targets for 45 yards in his last two games.

Palmer has made a few nice plays in his career, but there's not a lot of reason for optimism moving forward. He's playing against the elite Kansas City Chiefs defense in Week 9. His lack of production in Weeks 7-8 is very concerning considering he faced two of the worst secondaries in football those two games.
It doesn't look like the 23-yard old is set to have a prominent role in the offense, and when Evans returns, which will likely be around Week 11, Palmer could fade into the background even further. It looks like tight end Cade Otton and WRs Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Jalen McMillan will be the main pass-catchers for now.
Palmer isn't worth starting and is better left on benches in deep leagues and as a free agent in others.
