  • Joins Detroit's practice squad

    Badgley signed with the Lions' practice squad Wednesday, Tim Twentyman of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Badgley was cut by the Titans on Sunday after converting three of four field goal attempts in Tennessee's preseason finale against the Patriots. prior to his brief stint in Tennessee, Badgley began training camp with the Commanders, but was waived Aug. 20 when Washington opted to go with Joey Slye as their kicker. Badgley, who kicked in 12 games for the Lions in 2022, will now spend the beginning of the 2023 season on the practice squad and could be a candidate for elevation if Riley Patterson…read more

  • Gets cut loose

    Badgley was released by the Titans on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Badgley's exit will leave Tennessee without a kicker on their roster. The 28-year-old handled kicking duties in the team's preseason contest with the Patriots on Friday, making three of four field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries. However, the Titans seemingly feel as though they can find a better option before their Week 1 matchup with the Saints on Sunday, Sept. 10.

  • Solid debut with Titans

    Badgley made three of his four field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point attempts in Friday's preseason game against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Badgley signed with the Titans on Tuesday. He made his first two kicks, which were field goals from 44 and 27 yards away. Badgley then missed his next attempt but bounced back and turned in an overall solid performance. Tennessee has been searching for a steady kicker this offseason, and Badgley took a step toward proving he's a capable option.

  • Slated to kick for Tennessee

    The Titans signed Badgley on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: After being let go by the Commanders, Badgley -- who spent time with both the Lions and Bears last year -- has quickly resurfaced and now appears poised to start the 2023 season as the Titans' kicker. Meanwhile, Caleb Shudak and Trey Wolff, who had been competing for the assignment, have been waived by Tennessee.

  • Time in Washington ends

    The Commanders plan to release Badgley on Sunday, a source tells Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

    Analysis: Badgley's dismissal leaves Joey Slye as the lone kicker on Washington's roster, though the Commanders could still look to bring in some outside competition before the preseason comes to a close. After converting on all 33 of his extra-point tries and 24 of 28 field-goal attempts over 13 games between the Bears and Lions in 2022, Badgley joined the Commanders on a one-year deal in Washington in July. Even if he doesn't find an opportunity elsewhere before Week 1, the 28-year-old's body of NFL…read more

  • Signs on with Washington

    The Commanders signed Badgley on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Badgley was surprisingly cut by the Lions last week, but he quickly lands on his feet in Washington, where he'll compete with fellow veteran Joey Slye. Badgley is coming off a strong year where he made 20 of 24 field goals and all 33 of his extra points in 2022. Slye, meanwhile, went 25-of-30 on his field goals and missed four extra points last season. Badgley should be viewed as the slight favorite to win the job this summer, as Slye has been on a short leash in D.C.

  • Getting cut by Detroit

    The Lions are slated to release Badgley, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Badgley made 20 of 24 field-goal attempts (83.3 percent) and all 33 of his PATs in 12 games for Detroit last season, later re-signing with the team this spring. He nonetheless became expendable after the Lions traded for Riley Patterson, who made 30 of 35 FGAs (85.7 percent) and 36 of 37 PATs (97.3 percent) for the Jaguars last year. Furthermore, the Lions have K John Parker Romo, a former Virginia Tech kicker who made 17 of 19 FGAs in the XFL earlier this year. It won't be surprising if…read more

  • Returning to Detroit

    Badgley and the Lions agreed to a contract Friday, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

    Analysis: Badgley joined the Lions in early October and was still able to tally 100 points while serving as the placekicker for the team's final 12 games. He'll now return to Detroit for the 2023 campaign, one that many expect to be a leap forward for the Lions after a promising 2022.

  • Reaches 100 points in 2022

    Badgley converted two of three field-goal attempts and both of his PATs during Sunday's 20-16 loss to Detroit.

    Analysis: Badgley missed wide left on a 46-yard attempt but otherwise received enough opportunities to top 100 points for the season. Now set to hit unrestricted free agency after putting together an impressive season between 13 total games with the Bears and Lions, Badgley is a strong candidate -- but not a lock -- to return to Detroit in 2023.

  • Totals 11 points

    Badgley converted two of two field-goal attempts and five of five PATs during Sunday's 41-10 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Following three consecutive weeks with at least three field-goal tries, Badgley has attempted just three over his past two games combined. At least he was fed a healthy amount of PATs this time around to buoy his fantasy output. Next up for Badgley is a Week 18 matchup with a beatable Packers defense within the outdoor confines of Lambeau Field.

  • Little work on Christmas Eve

    Badgley converted his only field-goal attempt and two of two PATs during Saturday's 37-23 loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: In a weird day for Detroit's offense, the passing game remained on fire, but the complete lack of a run game made it hard for the Lions to consistently get into scoring position. This led to a lack of opportunities for Badgley, who didn't attempt a field goal until the final minute of the game and was hindered along the way by both a Lions red-zone fumble plus Detroit's decision to go for two after a touchdown in the first half. He'll look to bounce back against Chicago in Week 17 within the…read more

  • Three more field-goal attempts

    Badgley converted two of three field-goal attempts and two of two PATs during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: In three games since the Detroit offense has returned to full health, Badgley has racked up 10 field-goal attempts and 10 PATs, putting him up with the top producers at his position. Badgley has made eight of those field goals while only missing from beyond 40 yards (including one from 54 yards out Sunday). With Sunday technically marking a down day for the Lions offense against a tough Jets defense, Badgley seems positioned as a high-floor fantasy option entering a Week 16 matchup with…read more

  • Posts 10 points against Vikings

    Badgley converted two of three field-goal attempts and four of four PATs during Sunday's 34-23 win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Badgley followed up a huge Week 13 performance against the Jaguars with another solid stat line, thanks again to the offensive firepower of a fully healthy Lions offense. With that said, he could have had a bigger day had he not missed a 47-yard attempt at the end of the first half. He'll look to improve upon this performance in a Week 15 outdoors matchup in New York against the Jets.

  • Monster day against Jaguars

    Badgley converted four of four field-goal attempts and four of four PATs during Sunday's 41-14 win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: The Lions offense has promptly returned to the high-scoring ways they flashed in September now that the unit is practically back to full health. While Badgley won't have these sorts of monster outings every week, he should have the upside to do so most games down the stretch given Detroit's relatively soft schedule. Up next is a Week 14 Ford Field showdown in Minnesota.

  • First miss of season

    Badgley converted one of two field-goal attempts and both of his PATs during Thursday's 28-25 loss to Buffalo.

    Analysis: Badgley was 10-for-10 on field-goal attempts before shanking a 29-yard attempt in the third quarter. He somewhat redeemed himself in the fourth quarter by nailing a game-tying 51-yard kick with 23 seconds left in regulation. Now that Detroit's offense is getting back on track after a mid-season, injury-induced offensive lull, fantasy managers could do worse at kicker than Badgley in a Week 13 matchup with the Jaguars.

  • Held to one FGA

    Badgley converted his only field-goal attempt and all four PATs during Sunday's 31-18 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: The good news is that the Lions offense is doing well in the returns of D'Andre Swift and DJ Chark (ankle). However, for a second week in a row, the unit was too efficient for Badgley to put together a monster fantasy day. It is possible it could all come together for him in Week 12 if a tough Buffalo defense can force Detroit into more field-goal attempts.

  • Provides winning kick

    Badgley made his only field-goal attempt and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Badgley clinched Detroit's second straight victory with a PAT with just over two minutes remaining. He made a 25-yard field goal earlier in the contest, ultimately totaling seven points after posting merely one in Week 9.

  • Minimal opportunities

    Badgley did not attempt a field goal but converted his only PAT during Sunday's 15-9 win over Green Bay.

    Analysis: After three productive games to begin the year, Badgley didn't get much to work with on a day the Lions put up just 254 yards of total offense. It obviously didn't help that Detroit went for two after one of its touchdowns. While Badgley has shown to have some upside in this Lions offense, he will be hard to trust in a Week 10 outdoor game against the Bears in Chicago.

  • Another solid performance

    Badgley converted two of two field-goal attempts and three of three PATs during Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Badgley may need to start handling kickoff duties to become a candidate for being Detroit's long-term answer at kicker, but he otherwise has been solid for the Lions through two games. The Miami product converted field goals from 26 and 42 yards out in this one and is now a perfect 8-for-8 on the year thanks to a four-field-goal showing he had with Chicago earlier in the season. Badgley will look to stay mistake-free in a potential Week 9 shootout against the Packers.

  • Officially on active roster

    Badgley officially signed a contract with the Lions on Saturday.

    Analysis: Badgley had one more week of practice squad elevation, but the Lions opted to cement the status of their starting kicker. The well-traveled kicker has now converted all six of his attempts across three games combined with the Bears and Lions this season.

  • Moves back to practice squad

    Badgley reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Badgley was elevated by Detroit for the second week in a row ahead of Sunday's loss to Dallas, making both of his field-goal attempts in the contest. The 27-year-old has now made all six of his attempts in three combined games between the Bears and Lions this season. Badgley is now eligible for one more practice-squad elevation before requiring a full spot on the active roster to continue suiting up for Detroit this season.

  • Drills 53-yard field goal

    Badgley converted two of two field-goal attempts during Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Badgley converted field goals from 40 and 53 yards out in what amounted to Detroit's only points of the game. However, Detroit's five offensive turnovers prevented the team from ending any other drives on a positive note. It will be interesting to see if the healthy returns of D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and possibly Amon-Ra St. Brown (concussion) will help the offense get back on track in Week 8 against Miami.

  • Moves up to active roster

    Badgley was elevated from the Lions' practice squad Saturday.

    Analysis: This makes three practice squad elevations for him, meaning the Lions will either need to sign Badgley to the active roster next week or find a new kicker. In two starts, Badgley has gone 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and also connected on both of his extra-point tries.

  • Reverts to practice squad

    Badgley reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Badgley served as the starting kicker during Sunday's 29-0 loss to New England after the team waived Austin Seibert last Friday. However, the practice-squad kicker did not get a chance to attempt a field goal against the Patriots due to the Lions' lack of offensive production in Week 5. Badgley will likely be elevated from the practice squad over each of the next two weeks before requiring a spot on the Lions' active roster in order to suit up moving forward this season.

  • Not needed in New England

    Badgley did not log an attempt during Sunday's 29-0 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Badgley seemed to be in a good spot for fantasy production after taking over kicking duties for a team that led the league in many offensive categories entering the week. However, the Lions had zero luck getting into scoring range and ultimately went 0-for-6 on fourth downs. Badgley could have had a couple of chances to score points in the second half, but the Detroit coaching staff seemingly saw no point in kicking field goals after a certain point. The entire offense will look to regroup…read more

  • Elevated for Week 5

    The Lions elevated Badgley on Saturday from their practice squad to their active roster for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Badgley, who made all four of his kicks while playing for Chicago in Week 4, was signed to the Lions' practice squad Tuesday after being let go by the Bears on Monday. He figures to serve as the primary placekicker for Detroit after the Lions waived Austin Seibert (groin) on Friday.

  • Replacing Seibert

    The Lions waived Austin Seibert (groin) on Friday, making Badgley the likely kicker this Sunday against New England, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Badgley spent three years with the Chargers before splitting time between the Colts and Titans last season. The Lions signed him to the practice squad Tuesday after cutting Dominik Eberle, who was a disaster filling in for an injured Seibert in the Week 4 loss to Seattle. It's Badgley's turn now, though the Lions could start from scratch and try someone else on the other side of a Week 6 bye.

  • Finds new home quickly

    Badgley signed with the Lions' practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Badgley was cut by the Bears on Monday after making all four of his field-goal attempts in their loss to the Giants in Week 4. With Austin Seibert (groin) questionable for Sunday against the Patriots, Badgley would likely be the man to replace him if Seibert is unable to play.

  • Cut from practice squad

    Badgley was let go after reverting to the Bears' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Badgley made all four of his field-goal attempts after being elevated ahead of Chicago's loss to the Giants on Sunday. The 27-year-old started instead of usual kicker Cairo Santos, who appears ready to return after missing Week 4 due to personal reasons. Badgley converted 18 of his 21 field-goal tries and all 39 of his extra-point attempts over 12 games with Indianapolis last year, and he should provide a reliable option for teams in need of a replacement kicker this season.

  • Big performance

    Badgley was perfect on four field-goal attempts in the Bears' 20-12 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

    Analysis: With Cairo Santos missing this game for personal reasons, Badgley score all of Chicago's points. He'll likely retain the kicking role until Santos is able to return. However, with the Bears being a low-volume offense, it's unlikely the Bears' kicker will have many big games.

  • Set for Week 4 kicking duties

    Badgley will serve as the Bears' placekicker in Sunday's game against the Giants, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Badgley signed with the Bears on Saturday and will now start for the team in place of Cairo Santos (personal). The veteran converted 18 of his 22 field-goal tries across 13 games between the Colts and Titans last season, but rain and wind could impact Sunday's contest and therefore limit kicking opportunities.

  • Moves to active roster

    Badgley was signed to the Bears' practice squad Saturday and immediately elevated to the active roster with Cairo Santos (personal) not set to travel with the team for Sunday's contest against the Giants.

    Analysis: The Bears still have Santos listed as questionable despite the fact he's not traveling with the team to New York, but given the move to immediately elevate Badgley from the practice squad, it sure seems as if the veteran will make his 2022 debut for Chicago. Badgley played in 13 games last season with the Colts and Titans, converting 18 of his 22 tries. With possible rainy conditions on the horizon, don't expect the 27-year-old to have a ton of opportunities if he does ultimately end up…read more

  • Converts only kick in season finale

    Badgley converted his only field-goal attempt from 41 yards in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Badley made 18 of 21 field-goal attempts and all 39 extra-point attempts in 12 games after joining the Colts midseason. Badgley missed his only field goal while playing for the Titans in 2021 before signing with the Colts and replacing an injured Rodrigo Blankenship. Badgley performed well enough for the Colts to consider retaining him for 2022, but Blankenship is under contract for one more season. It's not clear what the Colts will do at placekicker for next season.

  • Converts all four kicks

    Badgley converted both field-goal attempts from 41 and 46 yards and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's loss to Las Vegas.

  • Bounces back after early miss

    Badgley made two of his three field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Saturday's 22-16 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: At the start of the second quarter, Badgley left a 53-yard attempt short. However, he bounced back to nail a 41-yard field goal as time expired in the first half. He then capped off a 10-play, 56-yard drive with a 37-yard attempt that gave the Colts a 15-13 lead at the end of the third quarter. Badgley has now missed at least one field goal in each of the last three contests, but coach Frank Reich has remained confident in the 26-year-old.

  • Job safe for now

    Coach Frank Reich said the Colts are not anticipating replacing Badgley as the team's kicker, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: Badgley missed a 49-yard field goal Saturday against New England, but he did make 41 and 25-yard attempts. Despite a decent showing, it was Badgley's second consecutive contest with a missed field-goal. The team can't afford shaky play from its kicker while in the midst of a playoff bid, though it appears the Colts still have faith in Badgley for the time being.

  • Misses first field goal with Colts

    Badgley made one of his two field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 31-0 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Badgley missed a 35-yard attempt wide left in the first quarter, but he was able to bounce back in the second half to connect on a 23-yarder. Rodrigo Blankenship (hip) remains without a timetable to return, but given the Colts' Week 14 bye, he has a lot of time to recover before Indianapolis returns to action Dec. 18. If Badgley remains the starter in Week 15, he could be in line for a solid workload against the Patriots' stout defense.

  • Converts four kicks

    Badgley converted his lone field-goal attempt while making three extra-point tries in Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Badgley has been effective while filling in for Rodrigo Blankenship (hip) across the last seven games, and he's converted all 10 of his field-goal attempts while making each of his 28 extra-point tries since joining the Colts. Blankenship doesn't yet have a timetable to return, so Badgley will attempt to remain productive Sunday against the Texans.

  • Perfect again Sunday

    Badgley converted both field-goal attempts from 36 and 35 yards along with all five extra-point attempts in Sunday's win at Buffalo.

    Analysis: Badgley has converted all nine field goals and all 24 extra points in six games since joining the Colts. He's playing so well, the Colts have said that former starter Rodrigo Blankenship (hip) will remain on injured reserve for the foreseeable future.

  • Perfect again Sunday

    Badgley made all three field-goal attempts, from 24, 29 and 37 yards, and both extra-point attempts, in Sunday's win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Badgley remains perfect in his five-game career with the Colts, converting all seven field-goal attempts and all 19 extra-point attempts. He's playing so well the Colts may take their time activating Rodrigo Blankenship (hip) from injured reserve (if Blankenship is able to return).

  • Makes all seven kicks

    Badgley made his only field-goal attempt and all six of his extra-point tries in Week 9's 45-30 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Badgley converted from 39 yards on his lone field goal and otherwise benefitted from Indy's offense putting the ball in the end zone. The veteran has made his only field-goal attempt in four straight games but has racked up 17 PATs over the same span, helping him accumulate 29 points since joining the Colts.

    Badgley converted his only field-goal attempt from 34 yards and made all four extra-point attempts in Sunday's loss to Tennessee.

    Analysis: Badgley has converted all three field-goal attempts and all 11 extra-point tries since joining the Colts. With Rodrigo Blankenship (hip) landing on injured reserve prior after Week 6, Badgley will continue to be Indy's placekicker. However, it's not clear when Blankenship may return.

    Badgley converted his only field-goal attempt from 43 yards and made all three extra-point attempts in Sunday's win at San Francisco.

    Analysis: Badgley converting all four kicks was no small feat given the the rainy and windy conditions. With Rodrigo Blankenship (hip) landing on injured reserve prior to the Week 6 contest, Badgley will continue to be Indy's placekicker. However, it's not clear when Blankenship may return.

    The Colts elevated Badgley from their practice squad Tuesday.

    Analysis: Badgley was promoted to the active roster ahead of Sunday's win over the Texans and kicked well enough, knocking home his lone field-goal attempt and all four of his extra-point attempts. With Rodrigo Blankenship (hip) landing on injured reserve prior to the Week 6 contest, Badgley should hold down the kicking job for at least two more games.

    Badgley reverted to Indianapolis' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Analysis: Badgley performed well in Rodrigo Blankenship's (hip) place, knocking through all four extra points and his lone attempted field goal. There's a good chance he could be thrust into action yet again in Week 7 against San Francisco.

  • Will fill in against Houston

    Badgley will be elevated from the practice squad Sunday against Houston to take the place of Rodrigo Blankenship (hip), JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.

    Analysis: Badgley started the season with the Titans but was let go after a poor Week 1 performance in which he missed his lone field-goal attempt and one of two PAT tries. Despite his accuracy issues, Badgley has some upside in this favorable matchup for the Colts offense. If he proves serviceable, Badgley could see more opportunities in the event Blankenship's absence stretches beyond Week 6.

    The Colts will sign Badgley to their practice squad Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Badgley missed his only field-goal attempt with the Titans in Week 1 before being promptly cut by the team. The 26-year-old may not have to wait long for his next opportunity, however, as the Colts could elevate him to the roster for Sunday's game against the Texans if top kicker Rodrigo Blankenship (hip) isn't available.

  • Waived by Tennessee

    The Titans waived Badgley from their active roster Monday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Badgley struggled in the opener, missing his only field-goal attempt and converting just one of his two extra-point tries. The Titans clearly did not what like they saw, and the 26-year-old is now a free agent. He spent his first three years in the NFL with the Chargers and struggled with long-distance accuracy, connecting on just 10 of his 19 tries from beyond 40 yards last season.

  • Struggles with opening opportunity

    Badgley missed his only field-goal attempt and converted one of his two extra-point attempts in Sunday's Week 1 contest against Arizona.

    Analysis: Badgley joined the Titans on Saturday, but didn't endear himself in his first opportunity with the team. His first kick was a missed extra point partway through the second quarter, and one drive later he pushed a 46-yard field-goal attempt wide left. Badgley struggled with accuracy as a member of the Chargers, and initial returns suggest that area of his game has not improved.

  • Takes over as Tennessee kicker

    Badgley signed a contract with the Titans on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The move comes after Sam Ficken (groin) was placed on injured reserve, the team's second kicker to land on IR this season. Badgley's stretches of inaccuracy ultimately cost him the kicking competition after starting the past three seasons with the Chargers, but previous Chargers castoffs such as Josh Lambo and Younghoe Koo have both succeeded in recent years after departures from their original franchise.

    Badgley is being added to Tennessee's practice squad, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Badgley lost the Chargers' kicking competition to Tristan Vizcaino in camp, but he's setting himself up as a potential option for a Titans team that's been churning through kickers in search of a long-term solution in recent seasons.

    Badgley will be cut by the Chargers on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Badgley converted only 73 percent of his field-goal attempts last season and lost his job to Tristan Vizcaino this summer. Vizcaino could even be useful for fantasy purposes this season if the Chargers offense becomes a top-10 unit under Justin Herbert.

    The Chargers are re-signing Badgley, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Badgley is coming off a disastrous season, having converted just 73 percent of his field-goal attempts (worst among all kickers who attempted 30 or more field goals in 2020), including just two of six tries from 50-plus yards out. The team also signed placekicker Tristan Vizcaino earlier this month, and more competition for Badgley could surface as the offseason progresses.

  • Concludes dreadful campaign

    Badgley made all four of his extra points in the Week 17 win over the Chiefs. He finished the season with a 72.7 field-goal percentage across 33 attempts and also missed three of his 39 extra-point attempts.

    Analysis: The third-year kicker might be on thin ice after posting the third-worst field-goal percentage among kickers who attempted 30 or more field goals this season. Missed game winners and extra points plagued Badgley throughout the season to the point where head coach Anthony Lynn repeatedly questioned his kicker's confidence in post-game pressers. What's worse, the 25-year-old's trademark big leg was nowhere to be found as Badgley connected on just two of his six attempts from 50-plus yards,…read more

    Badgley made all four of his field-goal attempts as well as his only extra-point try in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Badgley converted from 37, 43, 25 and 37 yards on his respective field goals, with his final one clinching victory for the Chargers with just under a minute remaining. After recent miscues, Badgley will be pleased by his performance Sunday, which also netted him a season-high 13 points. He'll now aim to close the season strong in Week 17 versus the Chiefs.

  • Can't come up clutch

    Badgley made just one of his three field-goal attempts but made both of his extra points in Thursday's 30-27 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Both of Badgley's misses came within the final four minutes of the game with the score deadlocked at 24-24. Each attempt pushed slightly left, including a 51-yard try with just under a minute left to play. As a result of Thursday's contest, the 25-year-old has slipped below 70 percent in terms of made kicks, but with two games left to play it's hard to imagine the Chargers will make a change.

  • Nails game-winner

    Badgley converted both of his field-goal attempts and also knocked home both extra points in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: For as dreadful of a season the Chargers' special teams has had, it was nice to see them reverse fortune for at least one week. For just the second time in the last six weeks, Badgley converted two field goals, including the game-winning attempt from 43 yards out and the kicker connected on all of his extra-point attempts. Whether Sunday's game-winner will boost Badgley's confidence or just simply be one bright spot in a dreary year remains to be seen, but the 25-year-old will get a chance to…read more

  • Scoreless in Week 13

    Badgley missed both of his field-goal attempts and didn't add any extra points in Sunday's 45-0 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: It was a disaster of a game for the third-year pro, as the Chargers put together one of the worst performances by a special teams unit in NFL history. Badgley's first missed attempt came on the Chargers' opening possession, amounting to his second missed field goal from at least 40 yards out in his last four attempts. His second miss was far more crucial, as the Patriots blocked the long attempt and returned it for a touchdown to end the half up 28-0. With just four games to go, it's hard to…read more

    Badgley made his lone field-goal attempt but missed his lone extra point in Sunday's 27-17 loss against the Bills.

    Analysis: The missed extra-point attempt was Badgley's second of the season, but he did manage to successfully make his field-goal attempt from 27 yards out. The kicker has proved he is a reliable option from 40 yards or less but is not consistent past that.

    Badgley made both of his field-goal attempts and added four extra points in Sunday's 34-28 win against the Jets.

    Analysis: This week's matchup against the Jets allowed for the Chargers' offense to thrive, giving Badgley a handful of opportunities to score. While this season has been pretty back and forth for Badgley, it has been two games now since the kicker has missed a field-goal attempt. The 25-year-old has now completed 16 of his 21 field-goal attempts this season.

  • Zero field goals

    Badgley had zero field-goal attempts and added three extra points in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: The opportunities for Badgley were very limited in this matchup. While the kicker had a less than average performance against the Raiders last week, he at least did not miss any extra points in this contest. Game script essentially relegated Badgley to the sidelines, particularly during the second half as the Chargers attempted to mount an unlikely double-digit comeback. Badgley did manage to convert every one of his extra-point attempts, boosting his total to 22 for the season.

    Badgley made two out of his three field-goal attempts and added two extra points in Sunday's 31-26 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: After finally bouncing back from a multiweek slump in last Sunday's loss to the Broncos, Badgley went right back to his inconsistent ways, shanking an attempt from 48 yards out in the first quarter. This was his fourth game of the season in which he missed a kick from at least 40 yards out, but he did manage to convert his 45-yard attempt during the second quarter. The 25-year-old has now completed 14 of his 19 field-goal attempts this season and added an additional 19 extra points.

  • Improves performance in loss

    Badgley made all three of his field-goal attempts and added three extra points in Sunday's 31-30 loss against the Broncos.

    Analysis: After an extremely bumpy two games, Badgley finally turned it around and made every one of his attempts Sunday. Perhaps more importantly from a fantasy perspective, Badgley converted a 52-yard field goal in the third quarter, just his second field goal of 50 yards or more in two years. It'll be interesting to see if the 25-year-old can continue to be consistent in what figures to be a high octane matchup against the Raiders next week.

    Badgley made two of his three field-goal attempts and only made three of his four extra-point attempts in Sunday's 39-29 win against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Badgley has missed at least one field goal in every game since Week 3 and also has back to back games with a missed extra point. Even coach Anthony Lynn has commented on Badgley's recent performance, insisting that he needs to come out of his funk, and it wouldn't be surprising if another missed kick in the coming weeks could put Badgley's job in jeopardy.

    Badgley missed his lone field-goal attempt and made three of his four extra-points attempts in Monday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Badgley had a chance to win the game for the Chargers in regulation, but the 50-yard attempt clanked off the right upright. This marks his second missed field goal from 50 yards this season and fourth out of six tries in his career. The Chargers are on bye for Week 6 and return the following week to face Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Badgley was robbed of an additional extra-point attempt when the Chargers were forced to go for a two-point conversation late in the game. The third-year kicker has missed just one attempt all season, and has missed just two attempts from inside the 40 throughout his entire career, although the Chargers' offense has struggled at times to put him within his ideal range.

Badgley's only missed field goal this season came from 50 yards. After his 43-yard attempt this week was a success, the 25-year-old has yet to miss a kick from 40 yards or shorter this season.

  • Knocks home multiple field goals

    Badgley connected on three of his four field-goal attempts in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Bengals. He also made his lone extra-point attempt.

    Analysis: The Chargers' offense continually sputtered out near the red zone allowing for Badgley to knock home a couple of chip shots throughout the game. Badgley, who's lone miss came from 50 yards out, is only 50 percent on field goals from 50 or more yards, although he's attempted just four in his three-year career. Given the lack of efficient play Sunday, the 25-year-old might find it difficult to generate a similar type of fantasy production next week against the Chiefs.

    Badgley is the only kicker listed in the Chargers' group of specialists for this year's training camp.

    Analysis: Badgley was limited to just eight games last season due to a groin injury, but he's been very good when healthy. The 25-year-old has converted 28 of 32 field-goal attempts and 46 of 47 extra-point tries across 18 regular-season games, making him a reliable commodity that doesn't require competition to push him ahead of the coming campaign.

  • Perfect from inside 45 yards

    Badgley converted on 13 of his 16 field-goal attempts in 2019 and did not miss any of his 19 extra points.

    Analysis: A groin injury ultimately cost Badgley the first eight games of the season, but the second-year kicker returned in Week 9 and proceeded to be a reliable option from 45 yards or less. All three of Badgley's misses came from 46 yards or longer, however, but considering the team's struggles to find a consistent kicker in past seasons, it's unlikely the 24-year-old will have much competition at the position in 2020.

    Badgley converted his lone field-goal attempt and both his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Raiders.

    Badgley converted two of his three field-goal attempts and also knocked in both of his extra-point attempts in the 23-20 loss Sunday to the Broncos.

    Analysis: The missed field goal came after the Chargers failed to generate more than a single yard after a critical fourth-quarter interception from middle linebacker Denzel Perryman, with Badgley's 55-yard attempt clanging off the left upright. The second-year kicker has now missed a field goal in three of his four games this season, although each attempt has come from at least 45 yards or longer.

    Analysis: Badgley's miss was a critical one, as the Chargers were playing with all the momentum in the first half, only for their multiyear kicking woes to resurface once more. The second-year kicker is now 80 percent on field-goal attempts this season, although both of his misses have come from the 40- to 49-yard range, and he hasn't even attempted a field goal from 50 or more yards.

    Badgley converted his lone field-goal attempt and also connected on all three extra-point attempts in the 26-24 loss Thursday to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Between turnovers and conversions in the red zone, the Chargers simply didn't need to rely on their kicker to score points, ultimately utilizing Badgley for a simple 27-yard attempt late in the third quarter. The second-year kicker should be in for a better day in Week 11 when the Chargers will likely be forced to keep up with the high-scoring Chiefs offense.
