Who Should I Start? Cairo Santos or Michael Badgley

Sunday, December 15, 10:30 AM

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos hasn't made a field goal in two straight weeks, but is hopeful to bounce back in Week 15. Santos has made three extra point attempts and has zero field goal attempts in each of the last two games. The Bears having been playing from behind by big scores lately which has limited the opportunities for Santos. It doesn't look like it's going to get easier for the Bears as they play a tough Minnesota Vikings squad in Week 15. Santos hasn't given fantasy managers any reason to trust him heading into important fantasy playoff games this weekend.

Detroit Lions kicker Michael Badgley (hamstring) was officially placed on injured reserve. While the team has already acknowledged his injury was season-ending, the latest marks an official end to his 2024-25 campaign. The 26-year-old has played for the Chargers, Titans, Colts, Bears, and Lions since 2018. He's made 98 of his 119 kicks while also missing just seven of his 175 extra-point tries. Although Badgley isn't the best fantasy kicker, he's undoubtedly a better option than others. But now he's heading for surgery, with the Lions anticipated to quickly move to fill the position.
