Fantasy Impact: Last week’s game marked only the second game of the season for Palmer. In both games, he has played reasonably well, passing for at least 250 yards and two touchdowns in both games without any interceptions. If he can stay healthy, he’ll have a chance at some low-ceiling but consistent fantasy value.
Palmer will take on an underrated Raiders secondary gives up the 13th fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. If Palmer can find a way to settle in and distribute the ball well through his effective receiving corps consisting of Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd and John Brown. Palmer is a mid-range QB2 for Week 7 and owners could do worse for a one-week streaming option.
