Rams' Joshua Karty: Perfect in the rain
Joshua 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 Los Angeles 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.

Rams' Joshua Karty: Records third missed PAT of season
Joshua 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 Los Angeles 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.

Rams' Joshua Karty: Quiet day in victory
Joshua 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 Los Angeles 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.

Rams' Joshua Karty: Misses only field-goal attempt
Joshua 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 Los Angeles 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.

Rams' Joshua Karty: Misses only field-goal attempt
Joshua 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.

Rams' Joshua Karty: Heavy volume in defeat
Joshua Karty connected on five of six field-goal attempts during Sunday's 23-15 loss to the Dolphins.The rookie kicker contributed all of the Los Angeles Rams' points on Sunday, booting two lengthy kicks of 55 and 53 yards to go along with three shorter field goals. Karty did miss a 57-yard field-goal attempt in the third quarter, due in part to a false start by Beaux Limmer on the first attempt. It was still a solid performance for the rookie kicker, who will look to keep his string of good performances up against the Patriots in Week 11.

Rams' Joshua Karty: Nails all four PATs
Joshua Karty connected on all four of his extra-point tries during Thursday's 30-20 victory against the Vikings.The rookie kicker wasn't asked to do much against the Vikings, but Karty was able to shake the nerves off after two straight weeks with a missed PAT and drilled all four of his extra-point attempts.

Rams' Joshua Karty: Struggles in victory
Joshua Karty missed his only field-goal attempt and made two of three PAT attempts during Sunday's 20-15 victory against the Raiders.The rookie kicker missed an extra point for the second consecutive game, and sent a 35-yard field-goal attempt into the left upright in the fourth quarter, a field goal that was critical because it would have pushed the Los Angeles Rams into a two-possession lead over the Raiders. Karty had been a reliable kicker through the Rams' first four games, but a trio of misses in his last two games will be something to monitor going forward, with a tough task at hand in Week 8 against one of the top teams in the NFC in the Vikings.

Rams' Joshua Karty: Has PAT blocked
Joshua Karty connected on one of his two extra-point tries during Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Packers.The rookie kicker never had a chance to attempt a field goal, and in the second quarter, his PAT attempt after a pick-six was blocked. Heading into the Los Angeles Rams' Week 6 bye, Karty is a solid 9-for-10 on field-goal attempts and has one miss in eight PAT tries, one of the lone bright spots on a Rams offense that has been struggling with injury and ineffectiveness through the first quarter of the season.
