        Lions K Michaell Badgley suffered a torn hamstring during preparation for Thursday's practice, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The team announced Friday morning that he's going on IR and will miss the entire season.

        Lions make kicker switch

        6:47pm UTC 12/16/23

        Lions K Riley Patterson is a healthy scratch for tonight's game vs. the Broncos. Detroit will instead roll with K Michael Badgley, who was just promoted from the practice squad. If you were hoping to use Patterson in fantasy lineups this week, Badgley is a fine replacement.

        Michael Badgley released

        4:40pm UTC 8/27/23

        Less than one week after signing him, the Titans have released K Michael Badgley. We'll keep an eye on Tennessee's next move at kicker.

        10:45am UTC 8/22/23

        The Titans signed K Michael Badgley. Kickers Caleb Shudak and Trey Wolff were released in a corresponding move. Badgley, who's made 81.7% of his career FG attempts, isn’t a late-round target.

        Commanders releasing Michael Badgley; Joey Slye wins

        9:11am UTC 8/20/23

        The Commanders are releasing K Michael Badgley. That means Joey Slye is retaining the job. He spent all of last season in that role for Washington after arriving late in 2021. Slye went 25-of-30 on FGs and 24-of-28 on extra points. Adjust your kicker rankings.

        7:08pm UTC 7/24/23

        The Commanders are signing K Michael Badgley, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Badgley will compete with incumbent Joey Slye. Try to avoid drafting both until the situation gets cleared up.

        Lions dump Michael Badgley

        8:20pm UTC 7/20/23

        The Lions released K Michael Badgley. That leaves K Riley Patterson atop the depth chart. We'll see if Detroit brings in new competition ahead of Week 1, but Patterson is clearly the odds-on favorite to open the season as the starter. If he hangs onto that role, he'll be squarely on the fantasy radar kicking for an above-average offense with domed home games.

        Patterson traded to Lions

        8:34am UTC 5/26/23

        The Jaguars traded K Riley Patterson to the Lions in exchange for a 2026 conditional 7th-round pick. It was originally reported that Patterson would be released, but the Lions evidently didn't want to let him hit the open market. Patterson will presumably compete with K Michael Badgley for the starting job this summer. The winner will be squarely on the fantasy radar in an ascending Detroit offense.

        The Lions on Friday waived K Austin Seibert. Michael Badgley -- who joined the practice squad earlier in the week -- will step in for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

        Bears K Cairo Santos will miss today's game vs. the Giants due to a personal issue. Michael Badgley will kick in his place. Hopefully you're not invested in this situation.

        1:27pm UTC 8/26/22

        The Jaguars signed K Michael Badgley. He's the only K on Jacksonville's roster. So, by default, Badgley looks like the team's Week 1 starter.

        Colts-49ers weather forecast

        11:58am UTC 10/24/21

        The forecast for tonight's Colts-49ers game calls for a 100% chance of rain with winds of 20-30 mph. That's ugly -- and certainly enough to impact the passing and kicking games. We'd try to avoid both of these passing games outside of 49ers WR Deebo Samuel and Colts WR Michael Pittman. You should also stay away from both Ks.

        1:25pm UTC 10/16/21

        The Colts on Saturday placed K Rodrigo Blankenship on IR for his hip injury. That means Blankenship will miss at least the next 3 games. Indy also elevated K Michael Badgley from the practice squad. He'll handle kicking duties Sunday against the Texans.

        Colts K Rodrigo Blankenship (hip) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Texans. Michael Badgley will kick for Indianapolis in that one and is a fine Week 6 fantasy fill in. The Colts are sporting a big 27-point implied total.

        The Titans released K Mike Badgley. He missed an XP and his only FG attempt in the Week 1 loss to the Cardinals. We'll see who Tennessee signs to kick this week.
