Michael Badgley Fantasy

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley entered Sunday's contest against Buffalo on a two-week streak of not having missed an extra point or field goal -- that streak came to an end in Week 12. Badgley missed his first kick of the day -- an extra point -- before making his only field goal attempt, a 27-yard chip shot. The Chargers' kicker has now missed three extra points and five field goals in 2020, by far the worst percentages of his career. There has been no indication that Badgley is in danger of losing his job, but there can undoubtedly be more consistent options found in season-long formats. Currently rostered in just 16 percent of ESPN leagues, Badgley can remain on the waiver wire down the stretch.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley missed both a field goal and extra point during Sunday's win over Jacksonville -- marking the second straight week that it occurred -- but head coach Anthony Lynn made it clear that Badgley would be the team's kicker for Sunday versus Denver. Badgley has yet to miss a kick inside of 40 yards, but has gone 4-for-8 from beyond 40 this season. Over his first two years, Badgley missed just a single extra point, but even after having reeled off misses in two straight weeks, Los Angeles seems confident in their third-year kicker. His current rough spell means that fantasy managers can look elsewhere for kicking production at the moment, even as the Chargers' offense begins to percolate.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley may have had some early hiccups on field goals as he came back from a lingering groin injury, but extra points were never a problem. Badgley knocked three more through the uprights on Sunday against the Chiefs, bringing his season stats to a perfect 19-for-19 on the freebies. Badgley's perfection is a rare feat indeed, and between that and the four straight field goals to finish the year, he's expected to be retained next season. With the Chargers having a long history of difficulties in the kicking game, Badgley brings some welcomed consistency.
