Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer has moved into the third wideout role heading into the Week 17 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The Bucs are without Sterling Shepard (foot, hamstring) for Sunday's game, which means Palmer should get more looks. Palmer hauled in two of his four targets for 31 yards during last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. A majority of his playing time came after Shepard exited the contest, so it might've been a bigger night if he had played the whole game. Regardless, it's going to be tough to trust Palmer for fantasy purposes. He hasn't done much this season and isn't guaranteed a ton of targets with Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan both healthy. Possibly, Palmer could offer desperation flex value in deep leagues for Week 17.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer (hip), who was listed as questionable on the final Week 14 injury report, is officially active on Sunday to take on the visiting Las Vegas Raiders. Palmer popped up on this week's injury report with a hip ailment and was limited in practice on both Thursday and Friday, but he'll be out there this weekend in a depth role for the Bucs again. The matchup against the two-win Raiders is an enticing one, but we still wouldn't suggest the 23-year-old in starting fantasy lineups because of his lack of involvement in Tampa's offense this year, even after Chris Godwin's (ankle) season-ending injury. The second-year pass-catcher hasn't exceeded three catches for 33 yards in a game this year and has a total of just 10 receptions (18 targets) for 141 yards and one touchdown in 10 games. Palmer remains the WR4 behind Mike Evans, Sterling Shepard and rookie Jalen McMillan.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer (hip) is listed as questionable for the Week 14 contest this Sunday against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders. Palmer was added to the injury report on Thursday with a limited practice session, and he was limited once again on Friday. Mike Evans (calf, hamstring) was cleared from his injuries this week and is good to go to play this weekend, so Palmer will likely maintain a limited depth role for Tampa's receiving corps if he's given the green light to play. Even with Chris Godwin (ankle) suffering a season-ending injury midway through the season, Palmer has seen little involvement behind Evans, Sterling Shepard and rookie Jalen McMillan, catching only 10 of his 18 targets for 141 yards and one touchdown in 10 games (three starts) in just his second season in the NFL. Palmer belongs on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer (hip) was added to the team's Week 14 injury report after putting in a limited practice on Thursday. Palmer's new hip injury could keep him out for Sunday's game against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders, but his practice status on Friday will give us a better indication of his availability this weekend. The 23-year-old has filled a depth role in Tampa's receiving corps all year and hasn't been on the fantasy radar. However, with veteran Mike Evans (calf, hamstring) tending to a pair of injuries and missing both practices so far this week, Tampa's receiving group could be a bit thin against the Raiders. If Evans and Palmer are limited or out, Sterling Shepard would serve as the Bucs' top wideout, while tight end Cade Otton would have high-end TE1 upside. Rookie Jalen McMillan would serve in the WR2 role.
Dec 5, 2024 6:05 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer is an avoidable streaming option ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The expectation was that Palmer would see increased involvement in the offense with the Bucs banged up at wideout. That hasn't really been the case as Palmer hauled in two of his four targets for 33 yards during last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He only played 49 percent of the offensive snaps and that's with fellow wideout Jalen McMillan (hamstring) sidelined as well. Palmer could be worth a stash in dynasty leagues, but isn't a starting option right now.
Nov 8, 2024 9:47 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer wasn't able to do much damage during last week's loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The 23-year-old hauled in both of his targets for 29 yards and served as the punt returner as well. Palmer has moved up on the depth chart with Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) both sidelined. There is more bad news for the Bucs wideouts as Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) are both on the injury report for Monday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. If they both sit, Palmer will likely become the top wideout for this offense. His fantasy value would certainly increase in that case. For now, Palmer is nothing more than a risky flex option given the statuses of McMillan and Shepard are still unknown.
Nov 2, 2024 9:12 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer is expected to see a bigger role in the offense going forward. Palmer has been quiet this season with only five receptions for 61 yards heading into the Week 8 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. However, the Bucs are going to be without their top wideouts in Chris Godwin (ankle) and Mike Evans (hamstring) for multiple weeks. That means, Sterling Shepard, Jalen McMillan, and Palmer should all see increased roles. The 23-year-old only saw three targets last week, but Evans and Godwin were healthy for part of that game. He should see his usage increase, but his value is unpredictable right now. Palmer might have low-end flex value for this weekend's matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. He hasn't done enough to be trusted as a starter in most formats.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer (concussion) cleared the league's concussion protocol and is officially active for the Week 7 contest on Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens. Palmer has already suffered two separate concussions this year and has missed the last two games as a result. The 23-year-old will be active on Monday night, but don't expect him to see the field all that much behind the likes of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, rookie Jalen McMillan and Sterling Shepard. Before the second-year pass-catcher's second concussion, he caught just four of his six targets for four yards and a touchdown in four games played for the Bucs. The sixth-round selection took on the No. 3 role in 2023 when Russell Gage was injured, but he's further down the receiver depth chart in Tampa in 2024.
Oct 21, 2024 7:02 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer (concussion) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Palmer suffered a concussion in Week 4 and as a result he has missed each of the last two games. It sounds like Palmer still needs to clear concussion protocol, so fantasy managers should prepare to be without him for at least one more game. Sterling Shepard figures to move into the WR3 role if Palmer is unable to play. He has seven receptions for 78 yards and one touchdown over the last three games. However, Shepard won't be a recommended fantasy option for Week 7.
Oct 20, 2024 10:15 AM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer (concussion) will miss his second straight game this weekend due to a concussion. The sophomore wideout was unable to participate in any team practices this week and will now set his sights on returning in Week 7. After catching only one pass through the first three weeks of the season, Palmer enjoyed a nice bounce-back performance in Week 4 when he caught three passes for 26 yards and a score. Fantasy managers should expect rookie wideout Jalen McMillan (hamstring) to serve as the No.3 option this weekend if he is able to suit up. If not, veteran Sterling Shepard will take that role and could be worth a look as a high-risk option in DFS as he found the end zone last week.
Oct 12, 2024 9:33 AM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer (concussion) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Palmer sat out of last week's game as well due to a concussion. It appears the young wideout is still in concussion protocol ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. It's worth noting that fellow wideouts Jalen McMillan (hamstring) and Kameron Johnson (ankle) are also on the injury report. That being said, Sterling Shepard could be looking at a bigger role on Sunday. He hauled in three receptions for 51 yards during the Week 3 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
Oct 10, 2024 9:39 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer (concussion) was listed as a non-participant for the team's first practice of the week. The 23-year-old has been on the shelf since Tampa Bay's Week 4 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles when he picked up a concussion. Palmer will have two more opportunities to upgrade his practice participation ahead of a Week 6 road tilt against the New Orleans Saints. If he can't, he'll be at risk of missing his second-straight contest. Wideouts Jalen McMillan (hamstring) and Kameron Johnson (ankle) were each able to get in limited sessions on Wednesday. If Palmer can't play on Sunday, that duo would be in line to pick up more snaps behind Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Sterling Shepherd. Shepherd has the third-most WR snaps for the team over the last two weeks.
Oct 9, 2024 9:11 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan (hamstring) and Trey Palmer (concussion) have been ruled out of the Thursday Night Football contest against the Atlanta Falcons, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. McMillan suffered a hamstring injury in last Friday's practice and did not play in Week 4, while Palmer suffered a concussion in the win over the Philadelphia Eagles. With both wideouts banged up, veteran receiver Sterling Shepard caught three passes for 51 yards. He has since been signed to the active roster following last week's practice-squad elevation, so he should occupy the WR3 role behind Chris Godwin and Mike Evans in Thursday's NFC South clash. Shepard is not a great option for traditional leagues, but he can be utilized as a desperation flex play in deeper setups.
Oct 2, 2024 2:29 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Jalen McMillan (hamstring) and Trey Palmer (concussion) did not practice on Tuesday. Both players are significant depth pieces for the Buccaneers at wide receiver. Their lack of participation Tuesday does not bode well for their ability to play on Thursday against the Atlanta Falcons. McMillan already missed Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles. His absence forced Palmer to step up. Palmer recorded three receptions for 26 yards and a touchdown while filling in for McMillan. If neither player can go on Thursday, the Buccaneers will likely turn to Sterling Shepard and Kameron Johnson (ankle) for depth at wide receiver. What this news most likely means is that Mike Evans (knee/calf) and Chris Godwin should see the lion's share of targets in Week 5.
Oct 1, 2024 6:16 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of the game against the Philadelphia Eagles after suffering a concussion in the first half. The second-year wideout caught all three targets for 26 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game. At the time, he had the fourth-most targets on the team, but the third-most yards in this contest. Palmer had just moved up the depth chart for this game with Jalen McMillan (hamstring) ruled out right before game time. After Palmer, Sterling Shepard and rookie Kameron Johnson are the next two up. Cade Otton will also likely see some more opportunities if Mike Evans and Chris Godwin don't soak up all of the remaining targets.
Sep 29, 2024 2:24 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer (concussion) is active in Week 1. Palmer had managed to log several full practices throughout the week and ultimately proved that he was ready to go on game day. Palmer is listed as the Buccaneers No. 4 wide receiver. He caught 39 passes for 385 yards and three touchdowns in 2023. He should be a solid contributor to the Buccaneers' success in 2024, however, he is not worth much of a look in fantasy.
Sep 8, 2024 3:45 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer (concussion) has practiced in full two days in a row and is primed to play in the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sunday against the Washington Commanders. Palmer remains in the league's concussion protocol but appears to be well on his way to clearing it in order to suit up this weekend. The 23-year-old was selected in the sixth round last year out of Nebraska and caught 39 of his 68 targets for 385 yards and three touchdowns in 17 games in his first year in the NFL. To open is his second year in the NFL, Palmer is expected to operate as the WR4 in Tampa behind Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and rookie Jalen McMillan, which puts him off the fantasy radar entirely in most single-year formats. Palmer didn't have more than four catches in any of his games last year while operating as the No. 3 wideout once Russell Gage went down for the season due to injury.
Sep 5, 2024 10:42 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer had a good rookie season in 2023 considering his draft status and with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in front of him, but he has far from secured the No. 3 spot in an offensive system that is sure to be 11-personnel heavy in his second season. However, Palmer should be a lock for the active roster out of training camp, as should rookie Jalen McMillan, who the Buccaneers spent a Day 2 pick on in a deep receiver class. Palmer and McMillan are expected to battle for the No. 3 job in training camp this summer. With Godwin expected to move back into the slot in 2024, Palmer may struggle to match his rookie numbers (39 catches, 385 yards, three touchdowns), especially if McMillan impresses.
May 1, 2024 9:31 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer has found the end zone in two of his last three games. Last week, Palmer hauled in one of his two targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The rookie wideout was quiet in the game outside of his huge score. It's worth noting that Palmer has 40 receiving yards or more in three of his last four games. However, he's still the third option on this offense behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin (knee) who is currently on the injury report. If Godwin sits, Palmer would likely see a bigger role in the offense. Otherwise, Palmer will likely remain an afterthought as he only has three total receptions in his last two games.
Jan 19, 2024 9:51 AM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer caught one of his two targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in the Wild Card victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. The rookie took a short pass and took it all the way to the end zone, opening a 25-9 lead for Tampa Bay late in the third quarter. The sixth-rounder from Nebraska posted just 39 receptions for 385 yards and three scores during the regular season, so he remains a touchdown-or-bust DFS option in a favorable matchup with the Detroit Lions in the NFC Divisional Round.
