Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Emerges as top target
Josh 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 Los Angeles Chargers take on the porous Buccaneers defense in what could be an offensive explosion.

Chargers' Joshua Palmer: One catch against Atlanta
Josh 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 Los Angeles 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.

Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Struggles with eight targets
Josh Palmer finished with three receptions (on eight targets) for 38 yards in Monday's 30-23 loss to Baltimore.Palmer led the Los Angeles 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.

Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Hardly involved in passing game
Josh 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 Los Angeles Chargers try to keep pace with the Ravens.

Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Only one catch
Josh Palmer tallied 36 yards on his one reception (two targets) in the 27-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.The Los Angeles 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
Josh Palmer brought in two of four targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in the Los Angeles 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
Josh 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
Josh Palmer secured four of five targets for 63 yards in the Los Angeles 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.

Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Not involved much in win
Josh Palmer caught two of his three targets for 38 yards in the 23-17 win over the Broncos on Sunday.Simi Fehoko, Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey all saw more targets than Palmer, but the 25-year-old did play the second-most snaps of any Los Angeles Chargers wideout. The offense just doesn't pass the ball often enough to have more than one target be a consistent fantasy factor, and right now Palmer is no better than third on the target chart week to week.

Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Four catches in return
Josh Palmer recorded three receptions on four targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Chiefs.Palmer returned from a one-game absence caused by an elbow and calf issue. He finished tied for third on the team in targets -- behind Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston -- and did the majority of his damage on a 26-yard reception late in the third quarter. While it wasn't a particularly impressive performance, it was Palmer's highest yardage total in a game this season.
