2025 Fantasy Outlook
Palmer's promising 2023 rookie campaign included 39 receptions for 385 yards and three touchdowns - along with 22 rushing yards - in 17 regular-season games. While the sixth-round pick took a notable step back with 12 receptions for 172 yards and a touchdown in 15 games last season, he flashed some special-teams utility (136 punt-return yards). Palmer enters training camp fighting for a spot down the depth chart and could be hard-pressed to stick on the final roster. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
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.

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.
