• Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Hardly involved in passing game

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Palmer caught two of his four targets for 23 yards in the 34-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday. It appears as if both Ladd McConkey (6-9-123) and Quentin Johnston (six touchdowns this season) have surpassed Palmer, who was once presumed to be the team's defacto No. 1 to begin the year. The 2021 third-round pick has yet to surpass more than five targets in a game, but he's at least seen four or more targets in all but three contests this season. That low volume could change next week as the Chargers try to keep pace with the Ravens.

• Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Only one catch

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Palmer tallied 36 yards on his one reception (two targets) in the 27-17 win over the Titans on Sunday. The Chargers once again finished with more rushing attempts (39) than pass attempts (18), limiting any sort of volume Palmer might have been able to compile. It's a feast or famine fantasy system in Los Angeles dependent on wide receivers scoring touchdowns. It's possible there will be more passing volume against the porous Bengals defense next week.

• Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Strong production on two catches

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  Palmer brought in two of four targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in the Chargers' 27-10 win over the Browns on Sunday. Palmer made good use of his pair of grabs, recording a 28-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter and adding a 26-yard catch on the final drive of the first half. Palmer was also credited with an additional nine receiving yards on an end-of-half lateral, leading to his third straight game with 60-plus receiving yards. Palmer has yet to see more than five targets in any game this season, however, so he remains a somewhat risky option dependent on big plays heading into a Week 10 home matchup against the Titans.

• Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Continues upward trajectory

  26D ago • By RotoWire

  Palmer caught two of four targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 26-8 win over the Saints. Palmer didn't see significant volume but made the most of his limited touches with catches of 27 and 45 yards. He has increased his receiving yardage total in all six of his appearances this season, with a jump from 38 yards in Week 6 to 63 in Week 7 preceding Sunday's season-best effort, but Palmer has yet to score a touchdown this season. Palmer will look to snap that touchdown drought in Week 9 against the Browns.

• Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Solid but unspectacular in loss

  10/22/2024 • By RotoWire

  Palmer secured four of five targets for 63 yards in the Chargers' 17-15 loss to the Cardinals on Monday night. Palmer was expected to see a larger role with the absence of No. 2 receiver Quentin Johnston (ankle), but he saw only a slight bump in targets. The extra involvement was enough to allow Palmer to set season highs across the board, yet he was only third in catches and fourth in targets, with tight end Will Dissly surprisingly setting the pace across the board for the Chargers' pass catchers. Palmer next takes aim at the Saints in a Week 8 home matchup, a game that Johnston could also potentially sit out.
