Joshua Palmer

Palmer played in three very different offenses during his four years with the Chargers, eventually settling in as a downfield receiver under Kellen Moore (2023) and Greg Roman (2024) after getting a lot of shallow routes/targets his first two years in the league. Palmer is no burner, having run a 4.51 40 at his pro day, with size/strength (6-1, 210) and route-running being his relatively stronger traits. His new team, the Bills, has a history of using big, physical receivers rather than speedsters as deep threats, namely Gabe Davis (2020-23) and Keon Coleman (2024). Buffalo signed Palmer to a three-year, $29 million contract this offseason, setting him up to compete with Coleman and Curtis Samuel in an offense where the only certain WR role is Khalil Shakir in the slot. The best hope for Palmer establishing fantasy value is if he's used as a possession receiver while Coleman and/or Samuel runs a lot of clear-out routes, although the shallower role might only entail a handful of targets per game given Shakir's presence and the team's frequent use of RBs and TEs.
