Bills K Matt Prater (quad) returned to a full practice on Thursday. It looks like he'll be ready to kick vs. the Jaguars on Sunday, despite hurting his quad in the regular-season finale. Buffalo's 26.5-point implied total is second-highest on the Wild Card slate.

The Bills signed K Matthew Wright to their practice squad. He looks like the favorite to kick in Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars -- and potentially beyond -- after K Matt Prater suffered a quad injury in Week 18. Adjust your playoff rankings accordingly.

Bills K Matt Prater was knocked out of Sunday's game vs. the Jets with a quad injury. That puts him in doubt for the playoffs. Prater had just returned from a two-game absence. K Michael Badgley missed a pair of XPs in his place. We'll keep you updated on Buffalo's kicker room, but you should avoid the situation in early playoff drafts.

Bills K Matt Prater (quad) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Browns. He’ll be replaced by K Michael Badgley. He’s an iffy fantasy play with wintry weather expected in Cleveland.

The Bills signed K Michael Badgley to their practice squad. He's the likely replacement for K Matt Prater, who's sidelined with a quad injury. Badgley made 10 of 11 FGs for the Colts earlier this season and owns a decent 83% career conversion rate. He could be a viable Week 16 fantasy start with the Bills big favorites over the Browns. We'll just need to keep an eye on the weather in Cleveland for that one.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said Monday that K Matt Prater is "week to week" with a right quad injury. "Not ideal. Matt's done a really good job having that consistency during the year. Obviously, T-Bass [Tyler Bass] had the surgery, so he's not an option either. So we'll figure that piece out," McDermott said. Buffalo travels to Cleveland to face the Browns in Week 16.

The forecast for today's Buccaneers-Bills game calls for sustained winds around 20 mph with gusts up to 35. There's a chance for a rain/snow mix, but the wind is the concern here. The over/under on this game has dropped from 48.5 on Thursday to 46.5. We're docking the passing projections on both sides and would avoid the kickers.

Bills K Tyler Bass (left hip, groin) has been placed on IR. He'll miss at least the first four games of the season and can be dropped from all fantasy rosters. Matt Prater will be elevated from the practice squad and kick for Buffalo vs. the Ravens on Sunday night. Prater made all six of his FGs and all 10 of his XPs in four games for the Cardinals last year, before missing the rest of the season with a torn meniscus. He's a solid replacement for Bass owners.

Cardinals K Matt Prater (left knee) did not practice on Wednesday. We'll see if he's able to play vs. the 49ers this weekend, but fantasy gamers would be wise to look elsewhere for a Week 5 kicker.

Cardinals K Matt Prater (hip, illness) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. That puts him in line to return for Monday night's game vs. the 49ers, although Prater is a weak fantasy play with Arizona sporting a 17.75-point implied total.

Cardinals K Matt Prater (illness, hip) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Rams. Tristan Vizcaino will kick for Arizona but isn’t a great fantasy option.

Cardinals K Matt Prater missed Friday’s practice with an illness and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. He’s also still on the injury report with the hip injury that cost him 3 games earlier this season. We’d look elsewhere for a Week 10 fantasy kicker.

Cardinals K Matt Prater (hip) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Vikings. We’ll see if he can make it back for that one after missing the past 3 weeks, but we’d look elsewhere for Week 8 fantasy lineups.
