Should You Start or Sit Joshua Palmer in Week 3?
I feel like this entire division is made up of receivers that you could talk yourself into when forced, but would never look to do it when your roster is reasonably full.
The Bills spent the offseason talking up Joshua Palmer, and he’s delivered a 32-yard catch in both wins this season. He’s an athletic 6’1″ 25-year-old who is attached to Josh Allen: it’s not hard to see some weekly upside.
That said, the target earning is something I have to see from him. He was never really given the chance to do so during his final two seasons with the Chargers, thus making it a skill I’m doubting until proven otherwise.
That part also concerns me. It concerns me that the Chargers, knowing that they were going to embrace a high PROE this season, elected to move on from Palmer. They spent a third-round pick on him in 2021 and know him better than anyone.
They didn’t mind letting him walk, and it’s not as if the Bills have excelled at adding big-time receivers to this Allen-led juggernaut in the past (i.e., Amari Cooper).
I’m skeptical. Roster him if you want a piece of this offense. I can’t blame you there, I’d just do it with measured expectations.
