Over the past three weeks, Palmer has not eclipsed 300 passing yards once, thrown only two touchdowns, and been intercepted five times. Has the 36-year-old quarterback already hit his peak as a top signal caller in the NFL?
Fantasy Impact: This Sunday night, Palmer and the Cardinals will be facing a ferocious Seattle Seahawks defense.
Despite allowing Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan to throw for 335 yards and three touchdowns last week, the Seahawks are still giving up the third fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2016. Before Ryan last Sunday, Seattle had only given up one passing touchdown to their opponents all season.
Yahoo!’s projections for Sunday have Palmer only throwing for 255 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against the Seahawks. Numbers that should cause most fantasy owners to consider other quarterback options in their lineups this week if they have not already.
