Top Riley Patterson News

  • Lions' Riley Patterson: Bounces back

    Patterson converted two of two field-goal attempts and all three PATs during Sunday's win over the Saints.

    This is a respectable statistical bounce-back effort after Patterson hit rock bottom in Week 12. Through 12 games, the Memphis product has now seen multiple field-goal attempts six times but none at all in five of the other contests. While the floor is non-existent, Patterson could again be a worthwhile roll of the dice in a road matchup in Week 14 against a Bears defense allowing the sixth-most points per game (24.7) this season.

  • Lions' Riley Patterson: Slump continues

    Patterson missed his only PAT during Thursday's 29-22 loss to the Packers.

    This is a new low for Patterson after attempting zero field goals last week against Chicago as well. However, he is hardly to blame for quarterback Jared Goff losing three fumbles and leading the offense to one conversion on six fourth-down plays. The entire Lions offense will look to get back on track in Week 13 against the Saints.

  • Lions' Riley Patterson: Held without field-goal attempt

    Patterson converted three of three PATs during Sunday's 31-26 win over the Bears.

    Detroit did not attempt a field goal for the fourth time in 10 games this year. Making matters worse for Patterson's production was the Lions' decision to go for a two-point conversion after one of the team's four touchdowns, as Detroit otherwise scored on a safety to reach 31 points. Just a few weeks removed from attempting five field goals against the Raiders, Patterson is entering Week 12 as a high-upside, low-floor fantasy option.

  • Lions' Riley Patterson: Another productive outing

    Patterson converted both of his field-goal attempts and five of five PATs during Sunday's 41-38 win over the Chargers.

    While his two field-goal tries are a far cry from the five he saw in Week 8, Patterson remained busy coming out of the bye. However, despite the recent production, Detroit still sits 28th in the league in field-goal attempts per game despite ranking top-six in points per game (26.8), yards per game (406.4), and yards per play (5.9). The hope for Patterson is that his association with a high-powered offense -- that is now fully healthy after the return of David Montgomery -- will lead the Memphis product to better fantasy production over the second half of the season. Up next is a home matchup against a Bears defense allowing the sixth-most points per game (25.5) in 2023.

  • Lions' Riley Patterson: Busy day

    Patterson converted four of five field-goal attempts and both of his PATs during Monday's 26-14 win over the Raiders.

    After giving fantasy managers nothing last week, Patterson saw as many field goal attempts as he had the previous four weeks. He ultimately nailed a quartet of kicks ranging from 31 to 52 yards only to miss his final attempt from 26 yards out. While Patterson didn't maximize his output, it was nice to see his upside as a fantasy asset within a productive Lions offense. He will look to stay productive once Detroit returns from a Week 9 bye to take on a weak Chargers defense.

  • Lions' Riley Patterson: Blanked by Ravens

    Patterson did not attempt a field goal or an extra point during Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Ravens.

    Patterson had not attempted fewer than two PATs in any game before Sunday's rock-bottom production. Entering halftime with 258 fewer yards of total offense than Baltimore, Detroit did Patterson no favors in getting opportunities to put up points. However, the Lions had been rolling all season up until this point, and the offensive unit still ranks eighth in scoring and fourth in total yards per game. Patterson will look to bounce back on his home turf in Week 8 against Las Vegas.

  • Lions' Riley Patterson: Misses one kick

    Patterson missed one of his three field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-6 win over the Buccaneers.

    Patterson converted from 30 yards on his first field goal before missing wide right from 52 yards on his second. He rallied with a 36-yarder in the fourth, however, bringing his season point total to 42 through six outings.

  • Lions' Riley Patterson: No field-goal attempts again

    Patterson did not attempt a field goal but converted six of six PATs during Sunday's 42-24 win over Carolina.

    Detroit found the end zone on six of eight drives, and this offensive efficiency yet against cost Patterson's fantasy investors. Through five games, the Memphis product has attempted just five field goals without a single try from beyond 38 yards. While most kickers attached to this Lions offense would theoretically have significant fantasy potential, the opportunities haven't been there for Patterson thus far into the 2023 campaign. Up next is a Week 6 matchup with Tampa Bay.

  • Lions' Riley Patterson: Converts two more field goals

    Patterson converted both of his field-goal attempts and four of four PATs during Thursday's 34-20 win over the Packers.

    While the Detroit offense put up four touchdowns for the second time in four games, Patterson at least did more than kick extra points in this contest thanks to a pair of sub-40-yard field-goal attempts. After entering the game tied for 27th in field-goal tries through three weeks, back-to-back showings with multiple attempts has Patterson's fantasy value trending in the right direction. Up next is a Week 5 matchup with a Carolina team that allowed the eighth-most points through three games.

  • Lions' Riley Patterson: Attempts multiple field goals

    Patterson converted both field-goal attempts and both of his PATs during Sunday's 20-6 win over Atlanta.

    A drop in red-zone efficiency was inevitable for a Lions offense that racked up seven touchdowns over the first two weeks. This benefited Patterson's investors after the kicker received just one attempt in those previous contests, though his production was still a couple of steps below what some other kickers around the league have been putting up. Next for Patterson is a road trip to Lambeau Field on a short week to play a Packers defense that has allowed the 12th-fewest points thus far into the season.

  • Lions' Riley Patterson: Just one field-goal attempt

    Patterson converted his only field-goal attempt and four of four PATs during Sunday's 37-31 overtime loss to Seattle.

    Detroit's continued success with finding the end zone upon getting into enemy territory again limited Patterson's output. However, this week the kicker's stats were at least buoyed by four extra points, and it is a positive he seems to be attached to a relatively fast-paced and efficient offense that ranks fourth in offensive yards per play (5.9) and 11th in offensive plays per game (67.0) through two weeks. Better days should be ahead for Patterson as the Lions enter a Week 3 matchup with the Falcons.

  • Lions' Riley Patterson: Minimal output

    Patterson did not attempt a field goal but converted all three PAT tries during Thursday's 21-20 win over Kansas City.

    Detroit was relatively disappointing on offense given the standard it set last season. Patterson's output consequently suffered, as five drives ended in punts. Making matters worse for Patterson's fantasy output is that the Lions were able to punch in two touchdowns during two of the times they got into scoring position before fumbling the ball away on the third. Brighter days should be ahead for Patterson in advance of a Week 2 home game indoors at Ford Field.

  • Lions' Riley Patterson: General manager confident in him

    Patterson has earned the starting kicker role for the Lions in 2023, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

    Patterson beat out Michael Badgley for the first shot at being Detroit's kicker this season, and general manager Brad Holmes said Friday that the 23-year-old has "been pretty good" and that he "feels good" about the team's decision. Patterson went 30-for-35 on field-goal attempts over 17 games as the Jaguars' kicker in 2022.
