Who Should I Start? Joshua Palmer or Jahmyr Gibbs

Sunday, December 14, 12:01 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) is officially active for the Week 15 game on Sunday in New England against the division-rival Patriots. With Palmer returning to action, Gabe Davis will be a healthy scratch for Buffalo. The 26-year-old Palmer will return to the WR rotation after missing the team's last two games. He'll provide a deep threat for quarterback Josh Allen, but fantasy managers should be looking elsewhere for a flex play this weekend. Palmer is unlikely to see much playing time behind Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Tyrell Shavers, and Brandin Cooks. Tight ends Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox will probably be more involved as well against a very capable Patriots defense. Palmer just hasn't made much noise at all in his first year in Buffalo in 2025, catching 18 of his 29 targets for 272 yards and zero touchdowns.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs posted an underwhelming performance in his team's Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, recording 58 scrimmage yards and zero touchdowns on 17 touches. The 23-year-old's 3.4 yards per touch against Los Angeles was his third-worst mark of the season and his worst since Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings. On the bright side, Gibbs continues to be a featured player in the Lions' passing game. He saw seven targets in Week 15 and has earned 38 targets across five games since Detroit tight end Sam LaPorta (back) was placed on Injured Reserve with a back injury. Gibbs also out-snapped fellow Lions running back David Montgomery 52 to 18 in Week 15, marking the fifth straight game where Gibbs has logged at least 20 more snaps than his backfield running mate. Despite the frustrating showing against the Rams, Gibbs remains a must-start fantasy running back in Week 16 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
