Who Should I Start? Michael Badgley or Riley Patterson

Friday, October 17, 8:04 PM

Indianapolis Colts kicker Michael Badgley made a strong debut with his new team, hitting his lone field goal and adding four extra points in a Week 6 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The veteran kicker will look to keep it going in a Week 7 road matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Los Angeles has been generous to kickers this season, allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. The Colts have one of the top offenses in the league and have afforded plenty of scoring opportunities for their kickers through six games. Badgley sets up as a top-15 fantasy option heading into Week 7.

Miami Dolphins kicker Riley Patterson was signed to the active roster before Week 4's win over the Jets and will continue to fill in for as long as Jason Sanders (hip) remains sidelined. Patterson has connected on all four of his field goal attempts and all nine of his extra points this season. He hasn't attempted anything from beyond 50 yards, and the Dolphins' offense has struggled, which has limited his opportunities. He is in a favorable environment and matchup this week, though, so he's a workable bye week fill-in if you need him. He's the No. 18 K in RotoBaller's rankings, so he works as an option in deep leagues if you're desperate.
