Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer made two long plays in a Week 8 win over the New Orleans Saints. Palmer was targeted four times, making two catches for 72 yards. He made one grab for 45 yards and the other for 27. While he wasn't as involved as expected, he made the most out of the two catches he was able to secure, finishing second on the team in receiving yards despite being just fourth in catches and targets. With rookie Ladd McConkey establishing himself as quarterback Justin Herbert's favorite target, Palmer is shaping up to be more of a boom-or-bust type of fantasy receiver. The Chargers offense could look different once Quentin Johnston (ankle) and D.J. Chark (groin) return to the field, but Palmer should continue to have a role.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. had a hot-and-cold practice on Saturday but showed off his explosive play prowess nonetheless. During the early portion of practice, Jarrett Stidham placed a beautiful ball just out of reach of the fingertips of Mims, who couldn't complete the diving grab. The second-year wideout then caught a ball during Bo Nix's go, but he saved his biggest play of the day for last. In an end-of-game, win-or-go-home hypothetical situation, the Broncos' offense was down to 4th-and-18, and Stidham completed his pass to Mims this time for 23 yards, keeping the drive alive. He also flashed his explosiveness in stints during his rookie season, and Denver's WR room is wide open behind Courtland Sutton. He'll be vying for targets with fellow wideouts Josh Reynolds and rookie wide receiver Troy Franklin. Mims is a late-round choice in fantasy drafts right now at WR72 with an NFFC ADP 185, making him worth a flier in best ball and deep leagues as a big play threat.
