I haven't watched any Bengals this year, but the consensus seems to be that Palmer is playing badly. What happened to him?
There are a few others that are quite nice as well. To answer your question, I own him too and am not comfortable wheeling him out most weeks. I also feel that Palmer is the main problem and then you have Benson talking about them being a power running team and pounding the ball. They play Cleveland this weekend who despite their 0-3 record don't make great days for a lot of superstar players. The next question might be what could you get for him?
This is a good question. I traded FOR Owens prior to this weekend. He has a recognizable name and is getting boatloads of targets. I think if he can put together a couple good weeks his trade value might start showing signs of life. Until that time, you can move him for...what, Eddie Royal? Might as well hold onto the guy.Bengals homers - how good of an offensive coordinator do you have? You'd have to think if TO/Ocho keep getting open but Palmer can't hit them deep, the plays will get adjusted. Right? Will we start seeing more short passes and let the wr's fight for yardage? Will they start running nonstop?
no. jordan is atrocious. proly why they got rid of jto. now there can never be controversy.heres the thing, palmer still has a strong arm. but he overestimates his strength bc its not what it used to be. more importantly, his accuracy is crap. and his throws tend to sail. also it seems that his footwork is bad, but im no expert on that. his best chance to succeed from a team perspective, is to become a dilferlike game manager. palmer is tough and commands the respect of the team. they believe in him. that will change if he continues to throw the ball. so hopefully he becomes a rich mans sanchez.as for the palmer has always been overrated crowd, yall are way wrong and all you gotta do is stroll over to profootball ref.
The number of targets he's getting seems to say he is. Though it's more like a 1A/1B type deal.
Minor hijack here but DHB is worth a look (not comparing him to owens, just in general).Removing Week 1, he is tied for 2nd most targets in week 2 and 3 (13 and 11 respectively). Oak has a nice schedule as well. I think DHB is a cheap buy that could start to produce results in the very near future.

For week 4, I may start DHB over TO. Nothing against TO, but Palmer looks awful to me. I know that TO is prone to blow up in any given week and that he is playing against CLE this week, but I'm beginning to wonder if that matters when Palmer is so lame.Brady Gaga said:
In non-ppr leagues he's less appealing. He may get several catches but they'll be for short chunks of yardage.That Little Voice said:TO still #12 in the Wk 4 Prelim PPR cheatsheets.
im usually not confident predicting injury, but i thought this same thing after week 3 game and snagged scott in the leagues he was available.another decent prediction, is that palmer will not be allowed to throw downfield as much, and jordan shipley could become very attractive, esp in ppr. he has 13 catches on 16 targets thus far anyway.That Little Voice said:
Since his injury? Yes, Palmer gets more praise than he deserves, as he has lost it mentally...still has skills out the ying-yang, but his confidence is shot...
I'm seriously considering the same (DHB > TO) but I'd have to cut TO to make the roster space to pick up DHB. I'm dragging my feet on this move but probably just b/c of TO's "name value" and the fact that I used/wasted my 6th round pick on TO.Hmmmmm.....Should I do this - cut TO for DHB????
I say no, but Bloom's 2nd Opinion projections has DHB as a Top 10 Option for week 4 in PPR leagues.
Totally hear you on the name value thing with Owens.
Not sure why I am chairing the DHB committee, but what the heck.. my WRs are unexciting, and Im starting him this weekend (as a WR3 with Owens as my WR2 mind you).More..
Yeah but when Palmer targets TO, he hits DBs.
TO is walking a fine line for me as well but Im not sure if DHB is the guy I would drop him for. I am hoping Sydney Rice stays on our waiver wire a couple more weeks and then I will drop TO for him depending on Farve and how he is doing.
