Palmer has averaged 7.6 fantasy points per game over 73 games and 6 seasons, without a top-12 finish. The average hides two careers: 10.7 a game in his two seasons with a starter's volume, 5.8 in the four without it.
So far in 2026 he is at 7.2 per game, up 2.9 from 2025. That is despite less volume (1.7 targets a game against 3.1), so efficiency and scoring are doing it. His quarterback this season has been Josh Allen.
