Badgley will make his NFL debut for the Chargers in the absence of Caleb Sturgis (quadriceps), who is inactive for the Week 6 matchup against the Browns.
It's unlikely Badgley holds on to the gig long-term, barring an unexpectedly productive performance. The rookie was brought on by the Chargers on Thursday as a "security blanket," but he will now be tasked with filling in for Sturgis. The 23-year-old scuffled a bit in his final year with the Hurricanes in 2017, going just 17-for-23 on field goals and especially struggling from distance, going 3-for-8 on kicks of 40 yards or greater. While it's likely unfair to consider that predictive of his Week 6 performance, there's admittedly not a ton of fantasy upside here.
