Matt Prater Ruled Out for Week 17

Friday, December 26, 1:31 PM

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 41-year-old was unable to step on the practice field this week and will now miss his second-straight contest due to this quadriceps injury. Instead, fantasy managers should expect Michael Badgley to get the starting nod once again. Prater has served as a reliable kicking option for the Bills this season, going 18-for-20 on field goals and 43-for-46 on extra point attempts. Last weekend, Badgley went 1-for-1 and hit two of his three extra points during their victory over the Cleveland Browns. Badgley profiles as a risky option for those in standard formats this weekend, facing the Eagles, who have allowed the 14th-fewest PPR points to opposing kickers.
