Joshua Palmer Making Plays at Training Camp

Sunday, August 9, 6:38 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer has been rising during the team's training camp this season. Palmer dealt with a number of injuries during the 2025 season, including a high ankle sprain and an MCL sprain. General Manager Brandon Beane said, "If [Palmer] stays healthy, I think he'll be able to help us." Palmer has made play after play in the past week's sessions, while Keon Coleman has struggled with drops. The WR3 role in Buffalo could be Palmer's, as he works behind newly acquired wideout D.J. Moore and slot receiver Khalil Shakir. There's a possibility that Palmer plays the second-most snaps in this receiver room, with Shakir mostly working in just three-receiver sets. Fantasy managers in deep leagues should keep an eye on Palmer in the later rounds.

Jaylin Lane News

Jaylin Lane Has Value in Deep Leagues Going into his Sophomore Season

Wednesday, February 25, 10:36 AM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jaylin Lane ended his rookie season on Injured Reserve due to an ankle injury, but flashed promise at times during the 2025 season. The young receiver out of Virginia Tech played behind veteran wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel Sr. for the majority of his debut season, tallying just 225 yards on 16 catches. However, Deebo is set to hit free agency in March, which opens the door for Lane to compete for the team's second option at wide receiver. Lane was primarily an intermediate-to-deep threat who averaged 14.7 air yards per target over his 15 games played, and is an intriguing option for deep-league fantasy managers looking for volatility in the late rounds. For dynasty managers, Lane remains a good stash player with upside on a promising offense.
