Carson Palmer Struggles, But Turns In Decent Night For Fantasy Owners Monday
Carson Palmer went 32-for-46 passing for 297 yards and a touchdown during Monday’s game between the Raiders and Chargers. We break down the fantasy implications.
Presswire
Analysis: Palmer's numbers were fine from a fantasy perspective, but Raiders fans probably aren't too encouraged by the performance. The veteran quarterback was constantly forced to check down to running back Darren McFadden or tight end Brandon Myers, and the Raiders offense was stagnant for the most part. Palmer was nearly shut out of a touchdown, but he was able to find rookie Rod Streater on a six-yard touchdown pass with 54 seconds left in the game. The return of Moore and Ford, potentially by next week, will hopefully open things up more downfield.
