Indianapolis Colts kicker Michael Badgley has shown solid accuracy across six games for his team this season, hitting nine of his 10 field-goal attempts and 17 of 19 extra points. The veteran kicker kept it going in last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, hitting both of his field goals and adding two extra points. Badgley will now head home to face off against the Houston Texans in Week 13. The Texans have been excellent against opposing kickers this season, allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to the position thus far. The Colts have provided plenty of scoring opportunities for their kickers this season, but this sets up as one of their toughest matchups yet. Badgley settles in outside of the top-12 fantasy kickers this week, but he can still be started in a pinch.

Indianapolis Colts kicker Michael Badgley will be well-rested as he comes out of a Week 11 bye to take on the Kansas City Chiefs on the road in Week 12. Badgley has been solid for the Colts in five games, hitting seven of his eight field goals and 15 of 17 extra points. The veteran kicker also spent several seasons kicking for the Los Angeles Chargers, so he is already familiar with playing in what can be a challenging atmosphere at Arrowhead Stadium. Kansas City has been tough on fantasy kickers this season, allowing just the 25th-most fantasy points per game to the position. The tough matchup downgrades Badgley's fantasy outlook, making him a mid-range option heading into Week 12.

Indianapolis Colts kicker Michael Badgley will head on the road to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. Badgley has been excellent for the Colts since taking over kicking duties after Spencer Shrader was lost for the season with a knee injury. The veteran placekicker has made all three of his field-goal tries while hitting 12 of his 13 extra points in three contests. The Steelers have been generous to kickers this season, allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Although Badgley hasn't attempted multiple field goals in a game yet, Shrader was near the league lead in field-goal makes and attempts before he got hurt. Badgley sets up as a top-10 fantasy kicker in Week 9.

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.

Indianapolis Colts kicker Michael Badgley will make his debut with his new team in a Week 6 home matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Badgley was signed earlier in the week after former kicker Spencer Shrader (knee) suffered a season-ending knee injury in a Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. While this will be Badgley's first game this season, the Colts' offense has provided plenty of scoring opportunities for the kicker through the first five games of the season. This sets Badgley up as a top-12 fantasy option right out of the gate. Fantasy gamers can feel free to insert him into their starting lineups on Sunday as a solid option.

With kicker Spencer Shrader (knee) set to miss the remainder of the 2025 season due to a torn ACL and MCL, the Indianapolis Colts signed veteran kicker Michael Badgley as a replacement earlier this week. Badgley has appeared in 64 career NFL games over six seasons for six different teams, and most recently played in four games for the Detroit Lions in 2023. He's connected on 82.4% of his career field goal attempts, although he's struggled from long distance. Badgley has made just five out of 13 attempts (38.5%) of his career attempts from 50-plus yards out. Before getting injured, Shrader was one of the most productive kickers in fantasy this season. Badgley profiles slightly less favorably but could be a low-end starting option in Week 6 against the Arizona Cardinals.

The Indianapolis Colts are signing free-agent kicker Michael Badgley to their 53-man active roster on Tuesday, sources told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Badgley will get the first crack for the Colts at replacing Spencer Shrader (knee), who suffered a torn ACL and MCL in the Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. The 30-year-old kicked for Indianapolis back in 2021 and is fully healthy now after missing 2024 due to injury. He went 18-for-21 on field-goal attempts and 39-for-39 on his extra-point tries in his 12 games with the Colts in 2021. Badgley has a career 82.4% success rate on his 119 field-goal attempts in his six years in the NFL with five different teams. Badgley will probably have a short leash his second time around in Indy if he struggles, but he'll be kicking half his games indoors at Lucas Oil Stadium for what has been a surprisingly explosive offense.
