Joshua Palmer Will Not Play in Week 8

Friday, October 24, 12:13 PM

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle, knee) will not play in Week 8 on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique) is also questionable and is in danger of missing a second straight game, so the Bills' offense could be a little short-handed on the road in Carolina as they come out of their bye week. If Kincaid misses a second straight game, look for receivers Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman to have higher fantasy ceilings with more targets from quarterback Josh Allen. Veteran Curtis Samuel, Tyrell Shavers, and Elijah Moore could also see the field more this weekend with Palmer out. The 26-year-old Palmer has been inconsistent in his first year in Buffalo, catching 14 of 20 targets for 234 yards and no touchdowns in six games. His next chance to play will be in Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Marvin Mims Jr. Enters Concussion Protocol

Sunday, October 26, 8:29 PM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. entered concussion protocol following Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Dallas Cowboys, according to Troy Renck of the Denver Post. The team never announced an injury status for Mims mid-game, so it's unclear exactly when he suffered the injury. It may have occurred with 4:39 left in the fourth quarter when Mims returned a kick 26 yards. He finished the game with two punt returns and three kick returns. On offense, he was unable to haul in his lone target. The 23-year-old faces an uphill battle to clear concussion protocol in the seven days between now and Denver's Week 9 contest against the Houston Texans. Perhaps Week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders is a more reasonable date to target for Mims' return to action. Pat Bryant will likely step up as the Broncos' No. 3 receiver behind Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin.
