Who Should I Start? Jalen Reagor or Trey Palmer

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Jalen Reagor did not participate in the team's Wednesday practice after tweaking "something in his lower half" on Tuesday, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Notably, Popper writes that Reagor had been "playing consistently with the first-team offense as an outside receiver through the first five practices." Reagor played in eight games for the Chargers in 2024, recording just seven receptions for 100 yards. The Chargers appear to be holding an open competition for playing time at wide receiver behind Ladd McConkey. Reagor, Quentin Johnston, and rookies Tre' Harris and Keandre Lambert-Smith should be considered the main contenders. Depending on the severity of this injury, it threatens to derail Reagor's chance to win a starting role.

Tampa Bay wide receiver Trey Palmer (hamstring) is dealing with a hamstring injury that is holding him out of training camp. Going into his third year in the NFL, Palmer has typically been a depth chart filler on the Bucs, and they just added rookie Emeka Egbuka in the 2025 draft after Jalen McMillan already leaped past him on the depth chart in the 2024 season. Still on his rookie deal, Palmer is signed through the 2026 season and will need all of the reps he can get to compete with the newcomers on the depth chart for future upside. With the massive depth chart in Tampa Bay, Palmer will likely remain off the fantasy radar for now.
