Riley Patterson Fantasy

Detroit Lions kicker Riley Patterson is set to face the Carolina Panthers in Week 5, and although the Lions are expected to put up plenty of points in this contest, the 24-year-old is not on the fantasy radar. Patterson has scored just 28 fantasy points this season (23rd), and Detroit has attempted fourth down conversions eight times (second-most). Head coach Dan Campbell often likes to roll the dice on fourth down rather than kicking a field goal, making Patterson's floor low in all matchups.

Detroit Lions kicker Riley Patterson has connected on all eight of his placekicking opportunities (seven extra points, one field goal) through the first two weeks of the regular season. Head coach Dan Campbell likes to roll the dice on fourth down rather than kicking a field goal, so Patterson will likely have a low floor all season. That said, he's nothing more than a low-end streaming option in the Week 3 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons.

Detroit Lions kicker Riley Patterson made his only field goal attempt and all four of his extra-point tries in the Week 2 overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The Lions offense should be one of the best units in the NFL, but head coach Dan Campbell often goes for a conversion on fourth down rather than trying a field goal, so Patterson has a low floor in all matchups. Until further notice, he won't be high on the fantasy football radar.
