Joshua Palmer Has Little Redraft Appeal in Crowded Bills Offense

Sunday, July 26, 9:39 AM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer is back on the field, but his redraft case remains difficult to build. An ankle injury wrecked his first year in Buffalo, limiting him to 22 catches for 303 yards without a touchdown in 12 games. He also missed the playoffs and spent part of the spring working off to the side before returning for mandatory minicamp. Palmer said in June that he was feeling much better and getting closer to his pre-injury form. A healthier summer gives him a chance to compete. It does not guarantee much work. DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, and Keon Coleman are all expected to move around the formation, while fourth-round rookie Skyler Bell adds another option inside and outside. Palmer has reached 600 receiving yards once in five NFL seasons and now needs to separate himself in a deeper room than the one he entered last year. RotoBaller ranks him WR105 in PPR leagues. That leaves him as a camp watch in deep formats, not a player standard-league managers need to target.

Elic Ayomanor Faces a Tougher Path to a Second-Year Breakout

Monday, July 20, 12:57 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor earned real playing time as a rookie, which is why he should not be written off after one offseason. He started 14 games, played 787 offensive snaps, and drew 89 targets. The result was 41 catches for 515 yards and four touchdowns. That is a useful foundation for a fourth-round pick, even if a 46.1% catch rate and 5.8 yards per target show how little of the volume became dependable production. Tennessee then made the room much harder to climb. Carnell Tate arrived as the fourth overall pick, Wan'Dale Robinson signed in free agency, and Calvin Ridley and Chimere Dike remain in the picture. Ayomanor flashed during spring work, but Robinson and Dike finished with more momentum, while Xavier Restrepo led the open practices in catches. Ayomanor is only 23 and already has a full season of NFL routes behind him. That keeps him rosterable. It does not make him a buy. Contenders cannot count on a weekly role, and rebuilders should wait through camp rather than pay for a breakout that now requires several things to break right.
