I'm only interested in adding Palmer in the majority of leagues if Ladd McConkey (knee) remains out heading into Week 15 against Tampa Bay. McConkey missed Week 14 at Kansas City, and Palmer had six catches for 78 yards on nine targets. The Buccaneers are No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, so Palmer might be useful in deeper leagues even if McConkey is healthy. But Palmer's upside is a starter in all three-receiver leagues if McConkey can't play again in Week 15.

Palmer caught six of his nine targets for 78 yards in the 19-17 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday. With Ladd McConkey (knee/shoulder) out, Palmer took over as the team's top option, although quarterback Justin Herbert did spread the ball around to eight separate targets in the contest. Palmer had been held to just 11 receptions for 243 yards in the last six games combined, so the evidence seems pretty clear the fourth-year wideout's significant bump ties directly to McConkey's status. That will be something to monitor next week given the Chargers take on the porous Buccaneers defense in what could be an offensive explosion.

Palmer caught his lone target for 11 yards in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Falcons. Palmer had a quiet day against the Falcons, as his 11 receiving yards accounted for his lowest total in a contest this season. The veteran wideout played 63 percent of the Chargers offensive snaps Sunday, his lowest snap since Week 10. Through 11 games, Palmer has recorded just 24 catches for 414 yards and one touchdown in what has been an underwhelming 2024 campaign for the fourth-year receiver. The 25-year-old will be remain difficult to trust for fantasy purposes as the Chargers head into a Week 14 matchup against the Raiders.

Palmer had some sleeper appeal coming into the season, but he's been outplayed by Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnson. Palmer only has two games all season with at least 10.3 PPR points and one touchdown, but now McConkey is banged up heading into Week 14 at the Chiefs. If McConkey is out then that could benefit Palmer, and he's worth adding in deeper leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

Palmer finished with three receptions (on eight targets) for 38 yards in Monday's 30-23 loss to Baltimore. Palmer led the Chargers in targets, but the wideout finished just third in receptions and yardage Monday. It was actually the 24-year-old's best output since Week 9, highlighting the underwhelming nature of his performance in 2024. Palmer should only be considered a deep-league option Week 13 in a road matchup against Atlanta.
