Joshua Palmer was handed a massive opportunity for the Buffalo Bills against the Cleveland Browns — and he took advantage. With Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir unavailable, Palmer received increased opportunities with Josh Allen and delivered. He made multiple catches and came down with one of the best plays of the joint practice, a contested touchdown in the red zone. That's exactly what Buffalo needed to see after weeks of training camp hype surrounding Palmer. Joe Brady has called him an “invaluable asset,” while Pete Carmichael has praised his ability to make plays downfield. Now we're finally seeing some of that translate against another NFL defense. I'm not saying Palmer has passed Coleman. But Coleman hasn't done enough through two NFL seasons to simply be handed WR3. If Palmer continues producing when opportunities come his way, this could become a legitimate position battle. And Palmer wasn't even the only Bills weapon to explode Thursday. Jackson Hawes caught multiple touchdowns from Josh Allen, Dalton Kincaid scored twice — including a roughly 55-yard touchdown during two-minute work — and Dawson Knox made plays as well. If Hawes can become a legitimate receiving threat in addition to his blocking ability, Buffalo's heavy personnel could become extremely difficult to defend. Joshua Palmer is pushing for WR3. And Josh Allen's tight end room might be deeper than we realized. #BuffaloBills #BillsMafia #JoshuaPalmer #KeonColeman #JoshAllen #DaltonKincaid #NFL
