Joshua Palmer News
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.

KaVontae Turpin News
Sunday, July 26, 6:14 AM
While he has never finished as a top 70 wide receiver for fantasy, Dallas Cowboys fifth-year veteran KaVontae Turpin is no stranger to making highlight-worthy catches, with the explosive playmaking ability he's long brought to the return game translating offensively whenever he's been given an opportunity. During last season's Week 17 fantasy championship, he housed his only target for an 86-yard touchdown that was enough to make him the WR10 on the week. Unfortunately, a lack of consistent involvement and a stacked depth chart ahead of him make him difficult to trust as anything more than a late-round dart throw in deep best ball leagues. Even there, he has only cracked the top 24 of the position four times over the past two seasons, and having never hit 20 fantasy points in a game, he lacks the true upside to single-handedly win weeks when he does pop off. An older prospect when he came into the league as an undrafted free agent in 2022, Turpin will soon turn 30, and he is not a player expected to have a major fantasy impact in 2026.
