Michael Badgley — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
The case for drafting him
Michael Badgley is on the Buffalo roster, and the case for drafting him begins and ends with accuracy. Over the three seasons captured in the data, he averaged 7.5 field goals and 16.5 extra points per season on 8 field goal attempts and 20 extra point attempts, missing just 0.5 field goals per season on average. In 2025 specifically, he converted 11 of 12 field goal attempts and 20 of 25 extra point attempts. That conversion rate is clean. If Buffalo's offense keeps generating scoring opportunities, Badgley is positioned to cash in on them.

The projection is 54.5 half-PPR fantasy points. His draft value is -75.5, meaning he projects below replacement level at the kicker position. He ranks K39 at his position and #305 overall, placing him in Tier 9 on the board.

The range of outcomes
The FACTS provided do not include a simulated outcome band for Badgley, so no percentile range is available to report. What the historical record does show is a limited opportunity profile — 12 field goal attempts and 25 extra point attempts in 2025, and just 4 field goal attempts in 2023. Volume is the primary lever for kicker scoring, and his recent workload has been modest. The projection of 54.5 points reflects that reality.
How to draft him
Badgley does not have a market ADP available, meaning he is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to produce one. At K39 and #305 overall with a negative draft value of -75.5, he sits deep in Tier 9. In a standard 12-team snake draft, kickers are typically taken in the final rounds, and Badgley's rank suggests he belongs at the very back of that queue — or on the waiver wire entirely. Draft him only if you need a late-round kicker fill and have exhausted higher-ranked options.
