Trey Palmer Week 8 Outlook - Falcons at Buccaneers

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

Palmer is the one player in this new Bucs passing attack that I'm fully committed to sitting this week. During his brief NFL career, he hasn't been a high-end target earner. Last week, in the fourth quarter, he ran 70.8% of his routes from the perimeter. I think he'll be Jalen McMillan's running mate on the outside, moving forward until Mike Evans returns. Palmer has had a 14% TPRR and 0.94 YPRR when on the field. Last year was a similar story as he served as the team's starting slot for plenty of weeks with a 15% TPRR and 1.01 YPRR. If you're in deep leagues, I get picking up Palmer, but I'm not playing him in Week 8. I'd rather bet on Jalen McMillan, Sterling Shepard, or Cade Otton leading the passing attack this week.
