2024 Fantasy Outlook
After being selected in the sixth round of the NFL Draft, Palmer was the No. 3 receiver for the Buccaneers. Palmer took on that role after Russell Gage suffered a season-ending injury in the preseason. Palmer didn’t have more than four catches in any game. In addition, the receiver only surpassed 22 yards once in his first 14 games. Palmer did show potential by averaging 44.8 yards over his last five games, which included two playoff games. It should be noted that Palmer often played in the slot, but new offensive coordinator Liam Coen said he expects Chris Godwin to see an increased slot role. Also, the Bucs added Jalen McMillan in the draft. It would seem that McMillan would have the edge for an outside role over Palmer when the team goes to three-receiver sets, If that happens, Palmer’s production and playing time could suffer.

No offensive stats Sunday
Palmer logged eight snaps on offense in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Saints but did not see a target. He netted no gain on his one punt return.
ANALYSIS
The second-year wideout was limited to punt returns for the second consecutive week Sunday, as the majority of the Buccaneers' wide-receiver snaps were distributed among Mike Evans, Jalen McMillan and Sterling Shepard. Palmer is likely to remain primarily limited to returns during the upcoming postseason after finishing his second regular season with 12 catches for 172 yards and a touchdown on 22 targets, 14 kickoff-return yards and 136 punt-return yards over 15 games.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Palmer may only be a rookie sixth-round pick, but his 4.33 40-yard dash is the stuff of a higher-pedigreed player. He finished his college career at Nebraska last year after transferring from LSU and made the most of the move, totaling 71 catches, 1,043 receiving yards and nine touchdowns. Palmer's speed is naturally unrivaled on the team, but how well it translates against pro defenses remains to be seen. For the moment, he seems almost certain to open the season as the No. 4 wideout, at best, behind the experienced trio of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Russell Gage.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to reclaim WR3 duties Sunday
Palmer is set to serve as the Buccaneers' No. 3 wideout behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin due to Jalen McMillan being listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Eagles with a hamstring injury, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Palmer has failed to haul in a pass over the last two regular-season games, as he's seen his playing time diminish while playing behind Evans, Godwin and McMillan. However, with McMillan unlikely to play Sunday, Palmer has an opportunity to earn a larger role for himself in the offense if he can establish himself as a reliable target for quarterback Baker Mayfield. Palmer played in all 17 regular-season games for Tampa Bay in 2023, and he finished with 39 catches on 68 targets for 385 yards and three touchdowns.
