Joshua Palmer - 2025 Fantasy Football Sleepers and Undervalued Draft Picks

Joshua Palmer is a fantasy football sleeper and undervalued draft pick for 2025. Read the fantasy football outlook and draft advice for the Buffalo Bills wide receiver.

RotoBaller Ranking (half-PPR): WR72

Fantasy Draft Analysis: Joshua Palmer was a consistent piece of the Chargers’ offense throughout his career, but never truly broke out. In 58 career games (29 starts), Palmer caught 182 of 282 targets for 2,287 yards and 10 touchdowns. He had just one season (2022) with more than 65 targets, 39 receptions, and 585 receiving yards.

Still, that didn’t stop the veteran receiver from getting a three-year, $36 million contract with the Buffalo Bills this offseason. Palmer instantly fills a void on the team as a deep target (15.0+ yards per reception during his last two seasons) and should instantly have a role in three receiver sets.

WR Joshua Palmer has made quite the impression during his time with the #Bills. Cerebral player, someone who seems to take pride in every rep he takes. Leader. Think this is a guy who can help carry this entire pass-catching group to greater heights #Bills #BillsMafia pic.twitter.com/ozYRvixcNi

More importantly for fantasy, Palmer will have an immediate path to targets in Buffalo. The Bills had just one player (Khalil Shakir) log 100+ targets in 2025. Neither Dalton Kincaid (44 receptions for 448 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games) nor Keon Coleman (29 receptions for 556 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games) made a significant impact despite their high draft capital.

Palmer has a chance to put together a similar season to Darnell Mooney in 2024 after he moved to the Falcons. He has an opportunity to establish a connection with one of the best passers in the NFL and minimal competition for targets.
