Karty connected on all four field-goal attempts during Thursday's 12-6 win against the 49ers. Karty's only lengthy kick of the night was his first, as he drilled a 48-yard field goal in the first quarter. His final three kicks were all under 30 yards, but Karty's perfect day caused both fantasy managers and head coach Sean McVay to let out a little sigh of relief after a few weeks of shaky performances. Karty increased his season-long accuracy to 81 percent (21-for-26) on field goals with his solid performance as the Rams' only source of points in a sloppy contest, and he'll look to keep up the momentum in a road contest against the Jets in Week 16.

Karty connected on a 22-yard field-goal attempt and made five of six PAT attempts during Sunday's 44-42 win against the Bills. Karty's only miss of the contest came at a critical juncture, as the fourth-quarter misfire left the Bills down just nine with 1:54 to play. Josh Allen then marched down the field in under a minute, scoring a touchdown to make it a two-point contest. Had the Bills recovered the onside kick or forced a fumble during the final drive, Karty's wide left PAT attempt could've cost the Rams the game and made his grasp on the kicking job even more tenuous. Karty did make his first field goal since Week 10 in the second quarter, a 22-yard chip shot, which should help boost his confidence ahead of a Thursday night showdown with division-rival San Francisco in Week 15.

Karty connected on all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 21-14 win against the Saints. The rookie's grasp on the Rams' kicking role had weakened after a multi-week slump, and while his performance on Sunday didn't do much to move the needle towards restoring that confidence, a misfire on any of his three extra-point attempts would have been the fourth straight week that Karty would've recorded a missed kick. A tough matchup with the Bills in Week 14 will be Karty's next opportunity to produce.

Karty missed a 47-yard field goal and connected on both of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Eagles. A troublesome trend has emerged after Karty wasn't particularly close on his lone field-goal attempt, sending it wide right. The rookie kicker has now recorded a missed FG in three straight games, and four in his last six. While it's hard to discount the body of work Karty put in through the first half of the season, his slump may force head coach Sean McVay to seriously consider bringing in competition for the role of Rams' kicker with the team's playoff hopes on life support. Week 13's contest against the Saints will be Karty's next opportunity to bounce back.

Karty missed a 26-yard field goal and connected on all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 28-22 victory against the Patriots. For the second straight week, the rookie kicker had a missed kick, but unlike last week's lengthy 57-yard miss, Karty put a short 26-yard attempt off the right upright just before the end of the first half. These three points were pivotal late, as the Patriots were only down six heading into their final drive. Had the Patriots scored and earned the victory, Karty may have gotten much more flak for his miss. On the season, Karty is 16-for-20 on field-goal attempts and 19-for-21 on extra-point attempts, and he'll look to boost his percentages against the Eagles in Week 12.
