News

  • 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.

  • Misses one kick

    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.

    Analysis: Patterson converted from 30 yards on his first field goal before missing wide right from 52 yards on his second. He rallied with a 36-yarder in the fourth, however, bringing his season point total to 42 through six outings.

  • 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. Next for Patterson is a road trip to Lambeau Field on a short week to play a Packers defense that has allowed the 12th-fewest points thus far into…read more

  • 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. Better days should be ahead for Patterson as the Lions enter a Week 3 matchup with the…read more

  • 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.

  • General manager confident in him

    Patterson has earned the starting kicker role for the Lions in 2023, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

    Analysis: Patterson beat out Michael Badgley for the first shot at being Detroit's kicker this season, and general manager Brad Holmes said Friday that the 23-year-old has "been pretty good" and that he "feels good" about the team's decision. Patterson went 30-for-35 on field-goal attempts over 17 games as the Jaguars' kicker in 2022.

  • 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.

  • Gets cut loose

    Patterson was waived by the Jaguars on Thursday.

    Analysis: Patterson handled kicking duties for all 17 Jaguars games last season, making 30 of his 35 field-goal attempts and 36 of his 37 extra-point tries. In a corresponding move, Jacksonville signed former Broncos kicker Brandon McManus. Patterson will now work to find a new opportunity.

  • Signs tender with Jacksonville

    Patterson signed his contract tender with the Jaguars on Thursday, Demetrius Harvey of the Florida Times-Union reports.

    Analysis: Patterson, who had been an exclusive rights free agent, is thus in a position to reprise his role as Jacksonville's kicker in 2023, with James McCourt currently providing depth at the position. 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.

  • Makes game-winning kick

    Patterson made a 36-yard field goal as time expired to give the Jaguars a 31-30 win over the Chargers in the wild-card round. He also made both of his extra-point tries.

    Analysis: Patterson did all that was required of him, helping Jacksonville seal an improbable comeback victory. He'll now turn his focus to Saturday's game versus the Chiefs in the AFC divisional round.

    Patterson (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

    Analysis: One day after sitting out the Jaguars' first practice session of the week due to the right knee injury, Patterson was able to take full reps, clearing up any concern about his health.

    Patterson (knee) was spotted practicing Wednesday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Analysis: Patterson didn't practice Tuesday, but his return to the field Wednesday bodes well for his chances of being able to handle kicking duties in Saturday's wild-card game against the Chargers.

    Patterson didn't practice Tuesday due to a knee injury.

    Analysis: Patterson converted both of his extra-point tries in addition to field-goal attempts of 26 and 36 yards in last weekend's AFC South-clinching win over the Titans, but the kicker might have picked up the knee injury at some point along the way. His absence from practice to begin the week suddenly puts his status in question for Saturday's wild-card game against the Chargers.

While the Lions didn't ask him to take many long field goals this season and Patterson missed his only attempt from beyond 50 yards, there's no doubting that the Memphis product brought stability to Detroit's kicking game down the stretch after the team struggled to replace Matt Prater early on.

  • Misses lone field-goal attempt

    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. While Patterson has flexed some interesting upside in recent weeks, the Lions offense could remain particularly untrustworthy in Week 18 against Green Bay if starting QB Jared Goff (knee) remains sidelined.

  • Another solid stat line

    Patterson converted three of three field-goal attempts and his lone PAT during Sunday's 20-16 loss to Atlanta.

    Analysis: The Lions' late-season revival continues to pave the way for surprisingly strong Patterson stat lines. Now having three FGA in three of the past four games while notching at least one PAT in each of them, few kickers have outscored the Memphis product in recent weeks. While it may seem hard to trust a Detroit team that lost or tied each of its first 11 games of the year, the offense seems to have turned a corner with head coach Dan Campbell calling plays, and Patterson could continue to benefit…read more

  • Big day against Arizona

    Patterson converted three of three field-goal attempts and three of three PATs during Sunday's 30-12 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: A wounded Lions team found an unbelievable amount of success against a Cardinals team that entered the week fourth in scoring defense. Patterson was a direct beneficiary and he did well to convert two kicks from 45 yards out and beyond. However, with Jared Goff (COVID-19) uncertain to play in Week 16 against Atlanta, Detroit may be hard-pressed to build on this performance.

  • One FGA against Denver

    Patterson converted his only field goal attempt and PAT during Sunday's loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: With none of D'Andre Swift (shoulder), T.J. Hockenson (hand) or Jamaal Williams (COVID-19) available, the Lions offense had immense trouble moving the ball and Patterson subsequently had minimal opportunities to produce. However, no fantasy managers should have been starting Patterson anyway. That should remain the case in Week 15 against Arizona even if Detroit gets closer to full health.

  • Three field goals in victory

    Patterson made three of three field-goal attempts and two of two PATs during Sunday's 29-27 win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Detroit found a surprisingly amount of success against a decent Vikings defense en route to the team's first win of the season. Patterson was one of the biggest beneficiaries, and he did well to convert on each of his kicks, the longest of which came from 49 yards out. While Patterson is now locked in as the top kicker in Detroit with Austin Seibert (hip) on injured reserve, it will remain a challenge to bet on the Detroit offense down the stretch. Despite the recent success, Patterson will be…read more

  • Makes two in debut

    Patterson did not attempt a field goal but made both his extra-point tries in Week 12's 16-14 loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: Patterson did all that was required of him in his NFL debut. The rookie will hope for more scoring opportunities while maintaining his accuracy in Week 13 versus the Vikings.

  • Set to kick Thursday in NFL debut

    Patterson is expected to serve as the Lions' kicker Thursday against the Bears after Aldrick Rosas wasn't elevated from the practice squad Wednesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Patterson was signed off the Patriots' practice squad Nov. 16, but he was inactive for the Lions' loss to the Browns in Week 11 while Rosas handled kicking duties. Despite Rosas hitting his only field-goal attempt in that game, he reverted to the practice squad following the contest and will stay there for now. Rosa's reversion leaves Patterson as the only kicker on the active roster, so he'll be in line to make his NFL debut Week 12.

  • Sitting Sunday

    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.
