Palmer caught five passes for 66 yards and one touchdown on seven targets against the Giants on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Palmer led the Chargers with seven targets against the Giants, stepping up in place of usual lead target Keenan Allen, who was out due to COVID protocols. Palmer appeared to be Allen's main backup throughout the year, and this game both confirms that status and Palmer's readiness to step up in instances during which Allen is out. Palmer will likely revert to the WR4 role once Allen returns to the field, and Allen is expected to play against the Chiefs in Week 15.

Palmer failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

Palmer saw a slip in snap time as Mike Williams and Jalen Guyton took charge. The rookie's lone target was simply a dropped deep pass which slipped off his hands and somehow landed in the cornerback's arm for Justin Herbert's lone interception. In the previous five games, the fourth-string wide receiver had at least one catch with 17-plus yards, but with a significant lead for most of the afternoon Palmer wasn't needed. Facing the Giants in the upcoming week, the rookie might have an impact with Keenan Allen placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

Palmer caught both of his targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie saw his second-most snaps this season, but the extra workload once again didn't translate to much. Favorable passing game scripts could force Palmer onto the field more as the season progresses, but he's far behind the totem pole with a number of more efficient targets heavily utilized by the Chargers.

Palmer caught his only target for 17 yards in the 41-37 win over the Steelers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

After going two straight games with at least two catches, Palmer was limited to only one reception Sunday night. The 22-year-old's snap share was down from last week as he was only on the field for 30 percent of snaps, a bit less than Jalen Guyton. With the high volume of passes that go to Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, Palmer's fantasy value is significantly minimized.

Palmer caught three of four targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 27-20 loss against the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Palmer caught a season-high three passes against the Vikings on Sunday. All three of Palmer's catches came on the Chargers' last possession of the game and set up a 24-yard Dustin Hopkins field goal. Palmer has only seen 17 targets on the year, but this game marks an uptick in usage for the 2021 third-round pick. Moving forward, Palmer should continue to function as Justin Herbert's fifth or sixth option in the passing game, and his upside is capped by the talent ahead of him in the receiving core.

Palmer caught both of his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

Palmer continues to have a small role in the Chargers' explosive offense, extending his streak of at least one catch to four games. The rookie wideout saw an uptick in playing time as he was on the field for 30 percent of the offensive snaps, a major increase from Week 8 where he was only on the field for 13 percent. Going forward, look for the 22-year-old to split the No. 3 wide receiver role with Jalen Guyton.

Palmer caught his lone target for 24 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Palmer's score game on a junk-time drive, but it was an impressive catch nevertheless as the 2021 third-round pick plucked the ball away from two defenders on an underthrown pass. The rookie has rarely been used this season, ceding the majority of the playing time to Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Jalen Guyton.

Palmer caught two of his three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 47-42 win over the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

Palmer played 16 offensive snaps, but was once again relegated to an after thought. After seemingly emerging from training camp as the No. 3 pass catcher, Palmer has more or less been a depth piece behind Jalen Guyton, Keenan Allen and Mike Williams and likely won't rise above that spot unless injuries occur.

Palmer caught two targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

Palmer at least saw his opportunities in line with No. 3 wideout Jalen Guyton (two catches, 13 yards), but it's fair to say the third-round rookie hasn't flashed over the first two weeks. Don't anticipate a change in his fantasy value unless an injury shakes up the top of the depth chart.

Palmer caught his lone target for 17 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Two weeks after reportedly beating out Tyron Johnson for the Chargers' No. 3 wideout role, Palmer saw just 14 offensive snaps compared to Jaylen Guyton's 53. The team could have simply been easing the rookie into his first professional game, but the difference in snaps is jarring given how strong the 2021 third-rounder's training camp supposedly was. Palmer's playing time likely will increase as the season progresses, but for the moment he's safely off the radar, even in deeper fantasy formats.
