Someone tell me that Joshua Palmer will not have a (Nico Collins) breakout year and why?

@sutnack69 I think Palmer will break out, nowhere near Nico levels (I own both) but enough to finish as a top 30 wr. His route running stats/film look similar to Keenan. My only concern is his health which should be fine this year with a real strength and conditioning staff. Also Harbaugh runs a lot in the first half, but goes pass or run heavy depending on how the other defense is defending

Harbough had one of the best RB duo in college last year. I don’t think they are going to be as run heavy as everyone thinks. Like I’ve mentioned before make your elite player (Herbert) make a play

@rigo2020201

Got any stats showing that?

Their prospect grade was almost exactly the same @TIPS

Draft capital was almost identical as well

Athleticism score for Nico was 79 and palmers was 70

To clarify “athletic,” between the two WRs to take a screen 80 yards to the house, I’ll bet on Nico every time.

Fair enough I would agree

I don’t necessarily look for that thought to get me fantasy production but I understand your point

Yeah Palmer isn’t the athlete Nico is. He is a better route runner however.

Still high on the two

This isn’t saying Palmer isn’t going to have a great year, the dude is primed for it given his situation. Nico has just proven he’s a fantasy asset

Will Palmer have a career year? Most likely. Will it be a Nico Collins explosion? Likely not.

Why likely not?

I just don’t get how people can say that lol

What is in his way?

I thought I was clear. Lol

Because he isn’t athletic??

Or as athletic as Nico

That’s all you said

Here’s another point. He needs volume, which the Greg Roman scheme doesn’t really give WRs

He has shown he can produce 100+ games, get in the end zone, catch 10+ passes. Only thing he hasn’t proved is staying healthy
