Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Pole position for top targets

Palmer is in position to be the team's leader in targets this season, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

This statement by Popper underscores the relationship Palmer and Justin Herbert have, whereas the team's other top pass catchers are newcomers. Rookie second-round pick Ladd McConkey is most likely to challenge for a plethora of targets, but Palmer has been Herbert's fourth-most-targeted wideout in his young career -- a stat that matters significantly after the quarterback missed critical time in training camp due to a foot injury.
