Josh Palmer (WR, LAC) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~200 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~240 ANALYSIS:  Brampton, Ontario’s own Josh Palmer has been making a splash in the NFL.

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's rare to find a player like Joe on the waiver wire this late into the year.

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 10+ teams ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS:  Next week, Villar checks two of the most important boxes when it comes to streaming. He's been raking at the plate for the better part of the month, so he's hot, and the Mets are also playing seven games, so he'll […]
