Joshua Palmer consistently rises to the occasion when the Los Angeles Chargers need him most. Last year, he stepped up in the absence of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, and this season, he’s taken on an even more significant role following Mike Williams’ ACL injury in Week 3. In Week 4, Palmer faces a crucial divisional matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, with his eyes set on maintaining an impressive Josh Palmer fantasy football scoring streak.
Joshua Palmer Fantasy Outlook in Week 7 is High vs Chiefs
Since Week 3, Palmer has been very consistent, averaging 3.6 receptions, 67.6 receiving yards, 0.3 touchdowns, and 12.4 PPR fantasy points per game. Impressively, he has secured 10 PPR fantasy points in each of those three games. And if that remarkable consistency isn’t enough to interest you, consider the stellar Josh Palmer fantasy performances against the Chiefs last year, where he found the end zone three times.
While the Chiefs have displayed solid defense against wide receivers this season, ranking eighth in the league coming into Week 7, a closer examination of the stats reveals a favorable scenario for Palmer. The Chiefs haven’t allowed a wide receiver to surpass 65 receiving yards in their last four games, but they have conceded at least one wide receiver touchdown in each of those contests. Notably, the WR2 has been the beneficiary of the touchdown in two of the last three games and has outgained other wide receivers in two of those matchups as well.

With Palmer maintaining an average of 67.6 receiving yards and the Chiefs permitting three wide receivers to reach around the 60-yard mark, his current role as the WR2 for the Chargers, courtesy of Mike Williams’ injury, positions him favorably. Moreover, the Chiefs have allowed the WR2 to score 15 PPR points in two of their last three games, making this game an ideal opportunity for Palmer to exploit the Chiefs’ tendency to surrender touchdowns to wide receivers.
