With Allen gone, Palmer is the top returning receiver, having tallied 38 receptions (on 61 targets) for 581 yards and a pair of touchdowns -- his 15.3 yards per catch led the team. That was actually a significant step down from 2022, when he posted a 72-769-3 line, though him missing six games due to injury doubtless was a factor. The fourth-year pro has flashed during his time with the Bolts, and he has a huge opportunity to shine in an expanded role.
In addition to his experience edge playing with Herbert, Palmer should also be highly motivated to prove he can be a full-time force at receiver as he'll be a free agent after the season. Palmer has been running with the starters during camp and feels like the safest option to contribute decent numbers at the position in 2024. While you shouldn't draft Palmer as more than a WR5, he has more potential that you might think.

 High-ankle sprain for Herbert, Questionable for Week 3
Missed practice on Friday
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Sep 20, 2:46 pm
| | Chargers QB Justin Herbert told reporters that he suffered a high-ankle sprain Sunday vs. Carolina. Chargers officially are listing Justin Herbert as questionable for Sunday’s game versus Pittsburgh. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Herbert didn't practice Wednesday or Friday this week, only getting in a limited session Thursday. It seems unlikely that he'll play but if he does, his mobility will be limited. Josh Palmer (elbow, calf) is also listed as Questionable but missed practice all week. Expect him to be on the Inactive list Sunday.
| Justin Herbert, Josh Palmer miss practice Wednesday
Ankle injury for Herbert
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Sep 18, 12:47 pm
| | Don’t see Justin Herbert (ankle) for the start of #Chargers practice. Also do not see Josh Palmer or Junior Colson (Daniel Popper on X)
FFToday's Take: Palmer is listed on the injury report with elbow and calf issues. In the Chargers run-heavy approach, Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey saw the majority of work at receiver last week against the Panthers and both appear to be better bets than Palmer this week against the Steelers given Palmer's injury status. Herbert injured his ankle last week but played the entire game.
