Who Should I Start? Joshua Palmer or Matthew Golden

Friday, December 5, 12:06 PM

According to head coach Sean McDermott, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (knee, ankle) has been deemed doubtful for Sunday's outing with the visiting Cincinnati Bengals. Palmer missed the team's Week 13 win over the Steelers with an ankle injury. Although he did not play, the 26-year-old picked up a knee issue, which has led to him being listed as a non-participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday. It would appear that Palmer is trending toward being inactive, meaning teammates Gabe Davis and Brandin Cooks will continue to see opportunities behind Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Tyrell Shavers in the passing game.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (wrist) remained limited for a second consecutive day on Thursday. The rookie has consistently appeared on the injury report for most of his first NFL season, and this latest ailment has put his status in doubt for Week 14 against the Chicago Bears. Golden, who has 24 catches for 286 yards and zero touchdowns, ranks as the WR82 in PPR leagues this season. Even with Dontayvion Wicks (ankle), Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder), and Savion Williams (foot) all injured, Golden could struggle to carve out significant volume once again this week. He can be avoided in most fantasy leagues despite Chicago allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2025.
