Should You Start or Sit Joshua Palmer in Week 4?
We might just be done here.
Josh Palmer earned one target on 15 routes against the Dolphins, and while the drum beat for him this summer spilled over some into Week 1 (5-61-0 against the Ravens), he has just three catches since.
Josh Allen’s recklessness has been contained more over the past 13 months than it was prior, and that’s a problem for Palmer as a vertical threat. Through their play-calling, it very much looks like Buffalo likes the potential versatility of Keon Coleman over anything that Palmer is capable of, thus relegating him to this high-variance role that is destined to come with more downs than ups.
He plays for the Bills, so if there’s a team environment to take a chance on a player like this, this is it. That makes him stashable in deeper formats as we approach bye-week season, where YOLO options become more appealing due to a lack of options otherwise, but if you told me you had to cut ties to open up roster flexibility elsewhere, I wouldn’t bat an eye.
