2012 Outlook: Over the Hill (decreased production)

Last updated on Jul-16-2012 by Shawn Larabee

Palmer's production in his first season with the silver and black didn't justify the hefty price the old Oakland regime paid for his services. New coach Dennis Allen is committed to keeping the former Bengal as his starter. But expectations need to be tempered for a QB who threw more picks than TDs in an abbreviated 2011 campaign. Palmer will also be learning a new system under a new offensive coordinator; he could be looking at another mediocre year.

2012 Mock Draft Results

Month	Position	Franchise/Comments
MyFantasyLeague Expert Draft May 2, 2012	12.03	Bleacher Report
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	11.04	FFToday.com - Palmer stepped in last year mid-season with a brand new team and performed, frankly, a lot better than I expected from him. With a proper offseason, more comfort with his teammates and development by his young receivers, Palmer is a decent bet for starter quality fantasy numbers. The somewhat risky Peyton Manning pick provided incentive to take a QB earlier than I might otherwise.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	12.03	CBSSports.com - Seems like backup QB time, especially drafting Peyton as a starter. Palmer doesn't have great weapons, but he has enough to get by.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	12.12	TheHuddle.com - Even with the run-heavy new OC I like Palmer's upside in this offense. Solid insurance if Ryan doesn't blow up as expected.
