Joshua Palmer | Fantasy Outlook

Ruled Out for Week 5 Road Matchup Against the Rams

Palmer surfaced on Friday's injury report with a shoulder issue and has officially been ruled out for Week 5 against the Rams. Through three games this season, he has operated as a starting outside receiver opposite DJ Moore, finding the end zone twice across nine targets. Fantasy managers should monitor his practice participation heading into Week 6 to gauge his potential return.

With Palmer unavailable, our weekly projection rightfully sits at zero points. Currently rostered in only 2% of leagues, he is largely a deep-league stash rather than an everyday fantasy contributor. Be sure to remove him from active lineups this week, check back often for updates on his shoulder recovery, and look elsewhere for wide receiver depth.
