Joshua Palmer enters concussion protocol

According to The Athletic’s Daniel Popper, Los Angeles Chargers WR Joshua Palmer has entered concussion protocol per head coach Brandon Staley.

Fantasy Impact: This likely rules Palmer out for at least the team’s final preseason game with a likely return in time for the team’s season opener against the Las Vegas Raiders. Palmer should still be considered a target in the late rounds of fantasy drafts with upside tied to a high-powered offense led by QB Justin Herbert, especially with the expectation he takes the Chargers’ WR3 role ahead of WR Jalen Guyton.
