2020 Fantasy Outlook
Badgley's emergence in 2018 appeared to solve the Chargers' infamous kicking woes, but the team's problems returned in 2019 when he missed the first two months of the season with a groin injury. Badgley came back in November and stabilized the situation, likely doing enough to lock down the job for this year. The offense is now the big concern, with Philip Rivers gone and the line still looking shaky. Read Past Outlooks
Concludes dreadful campaign
Badgley made all four of his extra points in the Week 17 win over the Chiefs. He finished the season with a 72.7 field-goal percentage across 33 attempts and also missed three of his 39 extra-point attempts.
ANALYSIS
The third-year kicker might be on thin ice after posting the third-worst field-goal percentage among kickers who attempted 30 or more field goals this season. Missed game winners and extra points plagued Badgley throughout the season to the point where head coach Anthony Lynn repeatedly questioned his kicker's confidence in post-game pressers. What's worse, the 25-year-old's trademark big leg was nowhere to be found as Badgley connected on just two of his six attempts from 50-plus yards, bringing his career total to a paltry 3-of-9. Los Angeles will almost surely bring in some form of competition during the offseason in an effort to fix its long-standing issues with special teams.

Recent RotoWire Articles Featuring Michael Badgley
There's a good chance that you'll see Travis Kelce out of uniform this week, though he won't be hanging out with George Kittle as he was here in this picture.
Russell Wilson carried your team early in the season, but he's had diminishing returns recently and you might not start him in your championship game.
Justin Herbert looked awfully sharp in his team's win over the Raiders.
The Chargers are 3.5-point underdogs Thursday in Las Vegas, but RotoWire's Andrew Laird is still expecting Austin Ekeler to be one of the most popular players on DraftKings and FanDuel.
With Deebo Samuel out, Brandon Aiyuk had 16 targets last week and should get a high volume again this week.
2019 Fantasy Outlook
Badgley ended the Chargers' kicking curse last year, but his fantasy output (7.9 ppg) was modest as the team ranked 10th in red-zone TD percentage (64.2). The Chargers finished 11th in yards and sixth in points but only 17th in FG attempts - partially a product of not trusting Caleb Sturgis, whom Badgley replaced for good after Week 9. Badgley might still be on a short leash, but the Chargers will score plenty of points.
