Michael Badgley Fantasy Overview

The Bills signed K Michael Badgley to their practice squad. He's the likely replacement for K Matt Prater, who's sidelined with a quad injury. Badgley made 10 of 11 FGs for the Colts earlier this season and owns a decent 83% career conversion rate. He could be a viable Week 16 fantasy start with the Bills big favorites over the Browns. We'll just need to keep an eye on the weather in Cleveland for that one.

The Colts waived K Michael Badgley. He missed his third XP over the last six games in the loss to the Texans. That point meant the Colts needed a TD on their final drive, rather than a FG to tie. We'll see who the team signs to replace Badgley going forward.

Update: The Colts are signing K Blake Grupe to their practice squad, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Grupe will likely kick vs. the Jaguars this weekend.

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 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.
