Nails long field goal in loss
Patterson made his only field-goal attempt and didn't try any extra points in Monday's 28-15 loss to Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Patterson broke open the scoring with a career-long 54-yard field goal in the second quarter -- no easy feat considering the frigid temperature in Pittsburgh. That ended up being Patterson's only kick of the game, as the Dolphins didn't score again until the fourth quarter and went for two-point tries on each of their late touchdowns. Patterson has been reliable for Miami this season, going 24-of-26 on field-goal attempts and 29-for-30 on point-after tries.

Moves back to practice squad
Patterson reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Patterson has been subbing in for Jason Myers (hip) to begin the season, and the former has connected on both field-goal attempts and all six point-after tries. Now that Patterson has been elevated three times, though, Miami has used its max number of such transactions on him, meaning he must be signed to the active roster in order to handle kicking duties Week 4 against the Jets and if Myers remains on injured reserve after that point.

Analysis: The kicker, who was again elevated from the practice squad ahead of the contest to fill in for Jason Sanders (hip), has now made both of his field-goal attempts and all six of his extra-point tries in 2025.

Analysis: For each of the Lions' first 13 games of the season, Patterson served as the team's placekicker, connecting on 15 of 17 field-goal attempts and 35 of 37 point-after tries. The prospect of switching to Michael Badgley was there all along after he joined the practice squad following cut-down day back in August, and Detroit finally made the move this past Saturday against the Broncos, keeping him active and making Patterson inactive. With Patterson now off the roster, he'll be subject to waivers…read more

Loses job as kicker
Patterson (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's Week 15 contest against the Broncos.
Analysis: After Patterson missed his second extra-point attempt in three weeks last Sunday in a loss to the Bears, Detroit signed veteran kicker Michael Badgley to the active roster. The team will turn to Badgley against Denver on Saturday night while Patterson will be inactive. It's unclear if the move is permanent -- aside from the two recent extra-point misses, Patterson has been mostly fine this season, going 15-for-17 on field-goal tries and making his previous 35 extra-point attempts.

Misses extra point
Patterson did not attempt a field goal and missed one of his two extra-point tries in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Patterson has now scored three points or fewer in three of his last four outings. That leaves the kicker with 80 points through 13 contests this term.

Bounces back
Patterson converted two of two field-goal attempts and all three PATs during Sunday's win over the Saints.
Analysis: This is a respectable statistical bounce-back effort after Patterson hit rock bottom in Week 12. Through 12 games, the Memphis product has now seen multiple field-goal attempts six times but none at all in five of the other contests. While the floor is non-existent, Patterson could again be a worthwhile roll of the dice in a road matchup in Week 14 against a Bears defense allowing the sixth-most points per game (24.7) this season.

Slump continues
Patterson missed his only PAT during Thursday's 29-22 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: This is a new low for Patterson after attempting zero field goals last week against Chicago as well. However, he is hardly to blame for quarterback Jared Goff losing three fumbles and leading the offense to one conversion on six fourth-down plays. The entire Lions offense will look to get back on track in Week 13 against the Saints.

Held without field-goal attempt
Patterson converted three of three PATs during Sunday's 31-26 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Detroit did not attempt a field goal for the fourth time in 10 games this year. Making matters worse for Patterson's production was the Lions' decision to go for a two-point conversion after one of the team's four touchdowns, as Detroit otherwise scored on a safety to reach 31 points. Just a few weeks removed from attempting five field goals against the Raiders, Patterson is entering Week 12 as a high-upside, low-floor fantasy option.

Another productive outing
Patterson converted both of his field-goal attempts and five of five PATs during Sunday's 41-38 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: While his two field-goal tries are a far cry from the five he saw in Week 8, Patterson remained busy coming out of the bye. However, despite the recent production, Detroit still sits 28th in the league in field-goal attempts per game despite ranking top-six in points per game (26.8), yards per game (406.4), and yards per play (5.9). The hope for Patterson is that his association with a high-powered offense -- that is now fully healthy after the return of David Montgomery -- will lead the…read more

Busy day
Patterson converted four of five field-goal attempts and both of his PATs during Monday's 26-14 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: After giving fantasy managers nothing last week, Patterson saw as many field goal attempts as he had the previous four weeks. He ultimately nailed a quartet of kicks ranging from 31 to 52 yards only to miss his final attempt from 26 yards out. While Patterson didn't maximize his output, it was nice to see his upside as a fantasy asset within a productive Lions offense. He will look to stay productive once Detroit returns from a Week 9 bye to take on a weak Chargers defense.

Blanked by Ravens
Patterson did not attempt a field goal or an extra point during Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Patterson had not attempted fewer than two PATs in any game before Sunday's rock-bottom production. Entering halftime with 258 fewer yards of total offense than Baltimore, Detroit did Patterson no favors in getting opportunities to put up points. However, the Lions had been rolling all season up until this point, and the offensive unit still ranks eighth in scoring and fourth in total yards per game. Patterson will look to bounce back on his home turf in Week 8 against Las Vegas.

Patterson missed one of his three field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-6 win over the Buccaneers.

No field-goal attempts again
Patterson did not attempt a field goal but converted six of six PATs during Sunday's 42-24 win over Carolina.
Analysis: Detroit found the end zone on six of eight drives, and this offensive efficiency yet against cost Patterson's fantasy investors. Through five games, the Memphis product has attempted just five field goals without a single try from beyond 38 yards. While most kickers attached to this Lions offense would theoretically have significant fantasy potential, the opportunities haven't been there for Patterson thus far into the 2023 campaign. Up next is a Week 6 matchup with Tampa Bay.

Converts two more field goals
Patterson converted both of his field-goal attempts and four of four PATs during Thursday's 34-20 win over the Packers.
Analysis: While the Detroit offense put up four touchdowns for the second time in four games, Patterson at least did more than kick extra points in this contest thanks to a pair of sub-40-yard field-goal attempts. After entering the game tied for 27th in field-goal tries through three weeks, back-to-back showings with multiple attempts has Patterson's fantasy value trending in the right direction. Up next is a Week 5 matchup with a Carolina team that allowed the eighth-most points through three games.

Attempts multiple field goals
Patterson converted both field-goal attempts and both of his PATs during Sunday's 20-6 win over Atlanta.
Analysis: A drop in red-zone efficiency was inevitable for a Lions offense that racked up seven touchdowns over the first two weeks. This benefited Patterson's investors after the kicker received just one attempt in those previous contests, though his production was still a couple of steps below what some other kickers around the league have been putting up.

Just one field-goal attempt
Patterson converted his only field-goal attempt and four of four PATs during Sunday's 37-31 overtime loss to Seattle.
Analysis: Detroit's continued success with finding the end zone upon getting into enemy territory again limited Patterson's output. However, this week the kicker's stats were at least buoyed by four extra points, and it is a positive he seems to be attached to a relatively fast-paced and efficient offense that ranks fourth in offensive yards per play (5.9) and 11th in offensive plays per game (67.0) through two weeks.

Minimal output
Patterson did not attempt a field goal but converted all three PAT tries during Thursday's 21-20 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: Detroit was relatively disappointing on offense given the standard it set last season. Patterson's output consequently suffered, as five drives ended in punts. Making matters worse for Patterson's fantasy output is that the Lions were able to punch in two touchdowns during two of the times they got into scoring position before fumbling the ball away on the third. Brighter days should be ahead for Patterson in advance of a Week 2 home game indoors at Ford Field.

Flipped to Detroit for late pick
The Lions acquired Patterson from the Jaguars in exchange for a conditional 2026 seventh-round pick Thursday, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports.
Analysis: It was initially reported that Patterson was going to be waived by the Jaguars after they signed Brandon McManus on Thursday, but Detroit swooped in late and kept Patterson from hitting the open market. Patterson went 30-of-35 on field goals last season and 36-of-37 on extra points. He kicked for the Lions in 2021 for seven games, making 13 of 14 field goals in that span.

In his first year with the Jaguars last season, the 23-year-old Patterson made 30 of his 35 field-goal attempts and 36 of his 37 extra-point tries.

Solid season for Jacksonville
Patterson went 30-for-35 on field-goal attempts and 36-for-37 on PATs during the 2022 regular season.
Analysis: The 23-year-old was also perfect across the Jaguars' two playoff games, making three field goals and four extra points. Patterson debuted with seven appearances for Detroit in 2021, and he was solid as Jacksonville's kicker this season, going 18-for-19 on kicks inside 40 yards. James McCourt inked a reserve/future contract to provide some competition, but Patterson is an exclusive rights free agent in 2023, and there's a decent chance the team wants him back.

Patterson missed his lone field-goal attempt but made three of three PATs during Sunday's 51-29 loss to Seattle.
Analysis: Patterson's one chance at avoiding a dud performance fell short of the crossbar on a 55-yard attempt at the end of the first half. The only opportunities he otherwise saw came on extra points, and he was even robbed of one of those when the Lions went for two at one point.

Patterson was a direct beneficiary and he did well to convert two kicks from 45 yards out and beyond.

Patterson (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday at Cleveland.
Analysis: The Lions placed Austin Seibert (hip) on injured reserve prior to Week 10, when Ryan Santoso ended up handling placekicking duties for last Sunday's tie at Pittsburgh. On Tuesday, Detroit signed Patterson off the practice squad to compete with Santoso, but the latter will be the team's kicker yet again Week 11.

Signed by Detroit
The Lions signed Patterson to their active roster off the Patriots' practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: With Austin Seibert (hip) on injured reserve, Ryan Santoso was promoted from the practice squad for Week 10, but he missed a PAT that would've likely ended the game in regulation, and he missed a potential game-winning 48-yard field goal in overtime. Santoso was released by the Lions on Tuesday, making room for Patterson to join the active roster. Patterson will likely operate as the primary place kicker in Week 11.
