Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (knee), who has been rehabbing a knee injury that kept him out of six games last year, said he got the most repetitions of the offseason in Tuesday's organized team activities. After posting a career-best 58.1 receiving yards per game last year, Palmer's role is set to increase even more in 2024 now that both Mike Williams and Keenan Allen are out of town. However, he'll still be competing for targets with former first-rounder Quentin Johnston and second-round rookie Ladd McConkey, not to mention DJ Chark. The Bolts' offense is also transitioning to a run-first unit under head coach Jim Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman, so Palmer is far from a lock to break out this year. However, the 24-year-old's big-play ability makes him enticing as WR depth.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer made six catches in the final Chargers game of the season, a Week 18 loss to the backups of the Kansas City Chiefs. Palmer was targeted a team-high 10 times, making his six catches for 44 yards. It was a tough end to the season for the Chargers passing game, who had to watch Easton Stick only throw touchdowns in one of his four starts. Palmer flashed a few times while on the field this season, but injuries slowed him down a bit and he's not quite suited to be a team's WR1.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Palmer was the Chargers' leading receiver before going down, catching six of his 10 targets for 44 yards. Los Angeles would like to end the 2023-24 campaign on a high note. However, with the team battling more than a few critical injuries, Palmer may not be back. With Gerald Everett (knee) also done in Week 18, Donald Parham Jr., Alex Erickson, and Quentin Johnston are the favorites to remain the most involved on the receiving end.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (concussion) has cleared the league's protocol and will be available for the Week 18 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Palmer will be the No. 1 wideout for this offense with Keenan Allen (heel) ruled out for this game. On paper, Palmer could be an interesting DFS option with the Chiefs likely resting most of their starters. However, Easton Stick will be under center for the Chargers, which doesn't bode well for their offense. Palmer has produced nine receptions for 160 yards and a touchdown in two games with Stick as the starter. Possibly, the two of them team up to have a good performance to close out the regular season.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (concussion) was listed as a limited participant in practice for the second straight day as he attempts to return from a concussion and play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Kansas City Chiefs. Palmer suffered a concussion in Week 16 and missed the Week 17 loss to the Denver Broncos, but he's making progress this week and could be cleared from the concussion protocol in time to play this Sunday. If the 24-year-old does return, he could be LA's top target for quarterback Easton Stick in the final game of the season. In Weeks 15 and 16, Palmer had nine catches for 160 yards and a touchdown with Keenan Allen (heel) out. Allen has yet to practice this week and seems unlikely to return in a meaningless game. If active, Palmer could be a sneaky DFS play this weekend.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (concussion) was limited in practice on Wednesday and could have a shot to play in Week 18 against the Kansas City Chiefs after missing the Week 17 loss to the Denver Broncos due to a concussion he suffered in Week 16. The 24-year-old was on the field for the majority of the snaps in his last game played and caught five of his eight targets for 47 yards. Keenan Allen (heel) is likely to close out the year missing his fourth straight game, so if Palmer gains clearance to play this weekend against a Chiefs team likely to rest a lot of their starters, he could be a DFS sleeper that pays off. In the two games that Palmer has played in Weeks 15 and 16 with Allen sidelined, he caught nine of 12 targets for 160 yards and one touchdown.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Keenan Allen (heel) and Joshua Palmer (concussion) have been ruled out for the Week 17 contest versus the Broncos in Denver on Sunday. Allen will be missed his third straight game and can now be dropped by any fantasy managers in leagues that end in Week 17. There's a good chance neither wideout will play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, either. With both Allen and Palmer out against Denver, rookie first-rounder Quentin Johnston will get another chance to prove himself, with Jalen Guyton, Alex Erickson and Derius Davis also having expanded roles as pass-catchers for quarterback Easton Stick. Tight end Gerald Everett becomes a more enticing low-end TE1 for fantasy managers as well.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Keenan Allen (heel) and Joshua Palmer (concussion) both missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday, although they were seen doing agility work and running off to the side with trainers. Neither player is likely to face off against the Denver Broncos this weekend if they don't return to some form of practice on Friday. Allen has missed the last two games, while Palmer suffered his concussion in the Week 16 loss to the Buffalo Bills last Saturday. If both pass-catchers are unable to play this Sunday, the Bolts would be down to rookie first-rounder Quentin Johnston, Jalen Guyton and Alex Erickson as their three starting receivers. Tight end Gerald Everett would have an expanded role as well. Palmer has caught nine of 12 targets for 160 yards and one touchdown the last two games with Allen sidelined.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Keenan Allen (heel) and Joshua Palmer (undisclosed) are working off to the side with a trainer during practice on Wednesday. Allen did the same all of last week before missing his second straight game on Saturday against the Buffalo Bills. Allen and Palmer are going to need to get back on the practice field with the rest of their teammates in the next couple of days in order to have a chance at playing in Week 17 against the Broncos in Denver on Sunday. If both Allen and Palmer are inactive this weekend, the Bolts would be down to first-round rookie Quentin Johnston, Jalen Guyton and Alex Erickson as their three starting pass-catchers. Palmer has been the biggest beneficiary of Allen's injury the last two games, catching nine of 12 targets for 160 yards and a touchdown in losses to the Raiders and Bills.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer led the Chargers in receiving yards in a Week 16 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Palmer was targeted eight times, making five catches for 47 yards. He ended up tied for the team lead in targets, second in catches, and first in yards. With Keenan Allen (heel) out, Palmer ended up as the WR1 on this struggling offense, and could remain in that role next week against the Broncos if Allen is unable to suit up.
