- Palmer caught one of three targets for a 43-yard touchdown in Thursday's 41-31 win over the Lions.
Palmer didn't score at all last season in his first campaign with the Bills, but he's now found the end zone in back-to-back weeks. He's hauled in just one pass in each of the first two games, but he could see more looks if DJ Moore's shoulder injury puts him on the shelf for a stint. Palmer, Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman would likely work as the main wide-receiver trio if Moore can't suit up in Week 3 against the Chargers.
RotoWire via ESPN - Palmer caught one of his two targets for a 34-yard touchdown in Sunday's 36-31 win over the Texans.
Palmer's only targets in Week 1 came on the last two offensive plays of the game for the Bills. Josh Allen missed the wide receiver on a deep ball he couldn't quite react to before delivering a laser between Kamari Lassiter and Calen Bullock to Palmer for what ended up being the game-winning touchdown. Palmer's 18 offensive snaps prove the wide receiver has some week-to-week upside despite not being a primary option in Buffalo's offense.
RotoWire via ESPN - The Bills list all of DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman (foot) ahead of Palmer on their unofficial depth chart for Week 1 posted Tuesday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
During his first season in Buffalo in 2025, Palmer produced a 22-303-0 receiving line on 37 targets over his 12 appearances before missing both of the team's playoff contests due to an ankle injury. Though he was declared fully healthy ahead of training camp, Palmer looks like he may have been surpassed in the pecking order at receiver by Coleman, a 2024 second-round pick who showed promise as a rookie but fell out of favor with the Bills toward the end of the past season. While the Bills retained most of their offensive coaching staff from 2025 with Joe Brady getting promoted from coordinator to head coach after Sean McDermott was dismissed, Coleman appears to be entering the upcoming season with a clean slate and could be prioritized ahead of Palmer, whose need as a vertical threat had already been lessened following the acquisition of Moore.
