Who Should I Start? Joshua Palmer or Tre Harris

The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia has Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer listed as a sleeper after signing a three-year deal with the team in the offseason. Buscaglia writes that Palmer's potential role and impact in this year's passing offense "are being slept on a bit." He's exactly what the Bills offense lacked last year -- a precise route-runner that specializes in separation who has enough speed to push down the field for deeper targets. The 25-year-old should be a nice fit for the Z receiver role after Buffalo tried to force Amari Cooper and Mack Hollins into the role in 2024. Buscaglia writes that Palmer could win the Hollins award for unexpected player who will play a lot more than most people think. Ultimately, Palmer probably won't see enough volume in this offense to warrant anything more than WR4/5 value in fantasy unless Khalil Shakir or Keon Coleman miss time with injury.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Tre Harris got more opportunities with the first-team offense in training camp practice on Wednesday with Jalen Reagor out with an undisclosed injury, but The Athletic's Daniel Popper writes that Harris was inconsistent. Meanwhile, rookie fifth-round wideout Keandre Lambert-Smith elevated his stock the most on Wednesday, making a couple nice adjustments on underthrown deep balls from quarterback Trey Lance. He missed most of the practices in the spring with an injury, but Lambert-Smith is healthy now and has an intriguing mix of deep-field speed, natural hands and elite body control. Ladd McConkey is the clear WR1 in L.A.'s passing attack, but Harris, Lambert-Smith and Quentin Johnston will all be battling for targets behind him this summer. Harris has gotten off to a slow start, but it's still early.
