Who Should I Start? Joshua Palmer or Isaiah Williams

Monday, November 9, 1:00 PM

The Buffalo Bills placed wide receiver Joshua Palmer (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Monday, according to Sal Capaccio of WGR 550. In a corresponding move, receiver Trent Sherfield Sr. was elevated to the active roster for the Monday night game against the Minnesota Vikings. Palmer played in only 12 games (eight starts) in 2025 in his first year with the Bills due to injuries and has had a tough time staying on the field again in 2026. The 27-year-old has played in six games so far this year and has been almost non-existent on offense, catching just four of his 12 targets for 117 yards, although he has found the end zone twice on his four catches. It was always going to be an uphill battle for Palmer to return to fantasy relevance in Buffalo this year after the Bills acquired DJ Moore in an offseason trade from the Chicago Bears. Palmer will not be eligible to return from IR until the Dec. 6 game on the road against the division-rival New England Patriots. In most single-year fantasy football leagues, Palmer should be on the waiver wire.
