News: 1 day agoPalmer failed to secure his only target in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Spin: The second-year speedster was in on just 15 snaps (25 percent) during the narrow loss, which was surprising considering the absence of Mike Evans and unavailability of Jalen McMillan due to hamstring issues. Palmer had logged at least 25 snaps in each of the previous three games, making Sunday's downturn all the more noteworthy. With both Evans and McMillan potentially available for a Week 12 road matchup against the Giants following a Week 11 bye, Palmer could be headed for another minor role in that contest.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Palmer was a solid find by the Buccaneers in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL draft. The Nebraska product quickly earned slot duties between Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, and proceeded to run 433 routes (45th among WRs) during his rookie campaign. Though he was on the field much, Palmer wasn't a fantasy option, having cleared 51 yards and 8.8 fantasy points in only one game (Week 17). The 23 year old has add competition for No. 3 duties this season (third-round rookie Jalen McMillan), which means he likely wouldn't be fantasy viable even if Evans or Godwin were to miss time. Palmer is not worth considering on draft day.
