2023 Fantasy Outlook
Patterson missed only one kick in a seven-game cameo with the Lions in 2021, then backed it up in 2022 by going 30-for-35 on field goals and 36-for-37 on PATs for the Jaguars. The 23-year-old owns career conversion rates of 87.8 percent for FGs and 97.3 percent on PATs, albeit over a small sample and with only four tries from 50-plus yards (two makes). The Jags weren't convinced, as they decided to sign Brandon McManus and traded Patterson to the Lions in May, opting for experience over youth. Patterson now gets a chance to compete with incumbent Michael Badgley for a job that could be fantasy-relevant given Detroit's surprising success on offense last year and kicker-friendly dome.

Flipped to Detroit for late pick
The Lions acquired Patterson from the Jaguars in exchange for a conditional 2026 seventh-round pick Thursday, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports.
ANALYSIS
It was initially reported that Patterson was going to be waived by the Jaguars after they signed Brandon McManus on Thursday, but Detroit swooped in late and kept Patterson from hitting the open market. Patterson went 30-of-35 on field goals last season and 36-of-37 on extra points. He kicked for the Lions in 2021 for seven games, making 13 of 14 field goals in that span.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Patterson finished last season as Detroit's placekicker, converting 13 of his 14 attempts the final
seven games with his lone miss coming from 50-plus yards. The second-year kicker then lost a job battle to Austin Seibert this summer, but landed on his feet in a hurry when the Jaguars decided he was better than their in-house options. Patterson now appears set to kick for the Jags in Week 1, though they could always add him to the discard pile if he disappoints on the practice field the way their other kickers did.
