Joshua Palmer's performance raises questions for Week 3 fantasy lineups
Summary

Joshua Palmer of the Chargers has recorded only two catches this season, despite two impactful touchdowns in the opening games. Ranked 74th among wide receivers in PFN’s Week 3 rankings, he has received just five targets while running 30 routes this season. This limited productivity contrasts starkly with the expectations of more active receivers. The Chargers travel to Buffalo for a Week 3 matchup, and fantasy managers must decide whether to start or sit Palmer amid his mixed performances.

The Chargers come to Buffalo with Palmer 74th among wide receivers in PFN’s Week 3 rankings, and the fantasy results flatter him. His 43-yard touchdown won Week 1 and the 34-yarder on Thursday came on a questionable safety decision, but those two splash plays are his only two catches of the year on five targets, and he has run 30 routes total, fewer than Keon Coleman or James Cook in both games.
