Joshua Palmer Makes Two Long Catches In Week 8 Win

Sunday, October 27, 7:52 PM

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.

Ricky Pearsall Catches All Four Targets In Week 8

Monday, October 28, 1:45 AM

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall contributed to a 30-24 home win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8 on Sunday night. The first-round pick out of Florida got his first bonafide NFL start with Jauan Jennings (hip) and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) out. Pearsall caught all four of his targets for 38 yards and took one carry for 39 yards. While the numbers weren't eye-popping, Pearsall appeared competent in only his second time on an NFL field since he suffered a preseason shoulder injury followed by a gunshot wound. The 49ers have a Week 9 bye before a Week 10 matchup versus the Buccaneers in Tampa Bay. If Jennings returns, he'll have the inside track over Pearsall for fantasy production but it wouldn't be that surprising to see Pearsall start to challenge him for targets as winter approaches.
