The Facts:
Palmer has dropped weight, looking significantly lighter and quicker at 230 pounds, compared to the 248-250 he carried last season. More important, he said, he was medically cleared at 100 percent in February after suffering a medial collateral ligament strain Dec. 12 at New England.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Palmer purposefully put on weight before the 2004 season. He though he would need the added bulk to withstand the pounding an NFL quarterback can take. While he was just one of four quarterbacks in the league to take every snap through the first 12 games, Palmer decided he could use the added quickness and speed that could come with less weight.
