Chargers-Falcons takeaways: Joshua Palmer receives spotlight in comeback The Chargers fell behind by double digits for the fourth game in a row, but they came back to beat Atlanta and won three of those four games...
Tops century mark as team's WR1 Palmer caught eight of 10 targets for 106 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons.
Impact Operating as the No. 1 wide receiver with Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) sidelined, Palmer led the Chargers in targets and catches while finishing with exactly double the receiving yardage total of DeAndre Carter, whose 53 yards ranked second on the team. Palmer's most important catch was his last one, as his 22-yard reception in the final minute set up Cameron Dicker's game-winning 37-yard field goal. Los Angeles is unlikely to get both Allen and Williams back in Week 10 against the 49ers, and could remain without both, so Palmer should continue to play a prominent role against a far tougher San Francisco secondary.

Ready for Sunday Palmer (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
Impact Palmer was placed in the concussion protocol after Week 6 and sat out the Chargers' last game Week 7. However, with the benefit of a Week 8 bye, he was able to pass through all five phases of the protocol, practice in full Wednesday through Friday and gain clearance to play this weekend. Palmer's presence will be key in a wideout corps down both Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (knee), while DeAndre Carter (illness) is questionable. No matter if Carter is able to join Palmer as active Sunday, the latter should be on the receiving end of plenty of targets from quarterback Justin Herbert.

Logs full practice Palmer (concussion) practiced fully Wednesday, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Per Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com, Palmer has reportedly cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, but Miller relays that Chargers head coach Brandon Staley has yet to confirm that the wideout will be available Sunday against the Falcons. Assuming no setbacks during the week of practice, Palmer should be on track to return to action this weekend following a one-game absence. If so, Palmer could be poised for a big role Week 9, with Mike Williams sidelined by an ankle injury and Keenan Allen's status unclear due to a lingering hamstring issue.

Exits concussion protocol Palmer cleared the NFL's concussion protocol Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Impact Palmer was unable to play against the Seahawks in Week 7, but following the Chargers' Week 8 bye, he's trending toward a return to action Sunday against the Falcons. With Mike Williams sidelined by an ankle injury and Keenan Allen dealing with a lingering hamstring issue, it's plausible that Palmer and DeAndre Carter could lead the team's wideout corps this weekend.

Ruled out for Week 7 Palmer (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Seahawks.
Impact With Palmer -- who didn't practice this week -- ruled out, look for DeAndre Carter to see added Week 7 opportunities in the Chargers' passing game, more so if Keenan Allen (hamstring, questionable) ends up limited or out Sunday. Palmer now will target a potential return to action Sunday, Nov. 6 in Atlanta following his team's upcoming bye week.

Misses another practice Palmer (concussion) didn't practice Thursday.
Impact Palmer has one more chance to return to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, but if he ends up sidelined this weekend, DeAndre Carter would be a candidate to see added Week 7 opportunities in the Chargers' passing game versus Seattle.

Dealing with concussion Palmer didn't practice Wednesday after entering the concussion protocol.
Impact The wideout is coming off a nine-catch, 57-yard effort (on 12 targets) in Monday's 19-16 overtime win over the Broncos, but the Chargers didn't provide any indication he suffered the head injury until he showed up on the team's first Week 7 injury report. Palmer's added volume in the contest was due to the absence of Keenan Allen (hamstring), who logged a limited practice Wednesday. Even if Palmer clears the protocol before Sunday's game against the Seahawks, he could be a lesser priority in the passing attack if Allen is able to make it back to the lineup.

Steps up in win Palmer recorded nine receptions on 12 targets for 57 yards in Monday's 19-16 win over the Broncos.
Impact Palmer finished second on the team in targets and receptions, also posting his best marks of the season in those areas. He worked primarily in the short areas of the field -- his longest reception went for 14 yards -- as Justin Herbert was unable to push the ball down the field effectively. Palmer's role will likely dwindle once Keenan Allen (hamstring) is able to return.
OCTOBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Posts another uneven outing Palmer tallied three receptions (six targets) for 24 yards in Sunday's 30-28 win over the Browns.
Impact Keenan Allen (hamstring) surprisingly continues to miss time, but it hasn't really helped the fantasy prospects of Palmer who registered his second consecutive game with fewer than four receptions. Palmer had built up a bit of preseason hype after emerging as the team's No. 3 wideout during training camp, but he's been an inconsistent disappointment for a team that typically passes the ball plenty. A difficult matchup against the Broncos secondary is up next for Palmer and company.

Good to go Sunday Palmer (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Impact Despite taking a questionable tag into the weekend, Palmer always seemed like a good bet to play after turning in a pair of limited practices before upgrading to full participation Friday. With Palmer now having been formally cleared to suit up, he'll look to capitalize on the absence of top wideout Keenan Allen (hamstring), who is missing his fourth straight game. Palmer laid an egg in the Chargers' Week 4 win over Houston, playing 57 percent of the offensive snaps while drawing just one target.
OCTOBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Status in question for Week 5 Palmer (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at Cleveland.
Impact After kicking off Week 5 prep with back-to-back limited practices due to an ankle issue, Palmer capped it with a full session Friday. While his status is up in the air heading into the weekend, he has the benefit of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff to determine his availability this Sunday. If he's active, he'll be working in a receiving corps without Keenan Allen (hamstring) for a fourth straight game, which has resulted in an 11-154-1 line on 18 targets for Palmer during that stretch.
OCTOBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Limited by ankle issue Palmer was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Impact Palmer's status is worth tracking as Sunday's game against the Browns approaches, with Keenan Allen (hamstring) not practicing Wednesday and uncertain to return to the lineup this weekend. If Allen remains sidelined this weekend, Palmer, DeAndre Carter and possibly Michael Bandy would be in line for added opportunities versus the Browns.

Catches just one pass Palmer caught his lone reception for 25 yards in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Texans.
Impact Keenan Allen (hamstring) missed his third straight game, but with the Chargers ahead for most of the game Palmer ultimately took a back seat, playing just 57 percent of the offensive snaps compared to 90-plus in the past two contests. Allen is listed as day-to-day entering Week 5 and likely would bump Palmer completely out of the slot, where he's been thriving in past weeks. Expect more inconsistent performances to follow despite being well-situated in an explosive offense.
