By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 24th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Since returning to the lineup in Week 4, Palmer has had a 64% route share, an 11% target share, 1.93 YPRR, and a 15.6% first-read share. Last week, his route share increased to 70.5%, and his first-read share bumped up to 20%. He has drawn two red zone targets in his last three games. He could offer sneaky flex appeal and upside this week. The Saints have the ninth-highest two high rate (49.1%). Among 80 qualifying receivers, Palmer ranks 20th in separation score and 13th in route win rate against two high. New Orleans has allowed the sixth-highest receiving yards per game and ranked 16th in fantasy points per game given up to perimeter wide receivers.
