Who Should I Start? Michael Badgley or Jake Moody

Tuesday, December 2, 4:03 PM

The Indianapolis Colts waived kicker Michael Badgley on Tuesday after he missed his third extra point of the season in the Week 13 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN. The Colts held kicker tryouts on Tuesday, so the move doesn't come as a huge surprise. The 30-year-old took over for the injured Spencer Shrader (knee) in Week 6 in Indy and will finish with 10 field goals made on 11 attempts (2-for-3 from 50-plus yards) and 18 extra points made on 21 attempts over seven games. Former New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe was among the kickers who tried out for the Colts on Tuesday, but it remains to be seen if he'll be signed. Fantasy managers will probably want to avoid Indy's placekicking situation as they head into a crucial divisional game this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Washington Commanders kicker Jake Moody was perfect in his team debut last week against the Denver Broncos, nailing both field-goal attempts and two extra points. Moody has made 10 of his last 11 attempts since missing two kicks in Week 1 with the San Francisco 49ers and subsequently being released. The 26-year-old profiles as a solid option in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings, with Washington's offense consistently able to move the ball into scoring position. The return of quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) also boosts the appeal of streaming Moody in fantasy football with Washington's offense as close to full health as it's been all season.
