BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~200 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~240
ANALYSIS: Brampton, Ontario’s own Josh Palmer has been making a splash in the NFL. Over the last two NFL drafts, a Canadian has been drafted as the 11th receiver off the board, the previous being Chase Claypool in the second round of 2020. That’s pretty cool. What might be cooler for the third-round pick is that Tyron Johnson was released from the team. This launches Palmer to become the fourth receiver on the depth chart, behind star receiver Keenan Allen, the fragile Mike Williams, and the undrafted Jalen Guyton.
It’s no surprise that the potential number two weapon for gun slinging Justin Herbert could easily become a fantasy starter. However, Mike Williams, despite playing 15 games, only finished as the WR45 in that role in 2020. Meanwhile, alongside Williams, Guyton and Johnson combined for six double-digit fantasy weeks.
This is not to say Palmer will outproduce Williams, especially since there has been a lot of hype with Joe Lombardi potentially implementing Williams in the Chargers' “X receiver role.” However, Palmer should be able to take over as the third receiver on the depth chart soon enough, making him a Mike Williams injury away from fantasy relevance. Plus, in dynasty, Williams is on a contract year and might not be back next season. Keep an eye out for this kid as there’s a clear path if he continues to turn heads this season. He's an interesting name to consider in the later rounds of your fantasy football drafts.
