Carlson made one of two field-goal attempts and all three PAT tries in Sunday's 32-25 win over the Jaguars.

Carlson's miss from 48 yards in the fourth quarter marked his first missed field-goal attempt in six appearances between the 49ers and Jets this season, though he has had a pair of PATs go astray. He connected on a 43-yard try in the third quarter. The Jets haven't provided an update on Greg Zuerlein (knee) since the veteran kicker went on injured reserve Oct. 30, so Carlson's likely to remain the kicker against the Rams in Week 16.

Lutz made his only field-goal try and converted all four of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 31-13 win versus the Colts.

Lutz only got one opportunity to kick a field goal in Week 15, but he was true from 44 yards out in the third quarter to cut Indianapolis' lead to 13-10. He's tied for sixth in the league in made field goals this season heading into a Week 16 tilt against the Chargers.

Ryland made all three of his field-goal tries and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 30-17 win versus the Patriots.

Ryland converted a 49-yard attempt on Arizona's first drive of Sunday's contest, and that seemed to help him find a rhythm after missing one field-goal attempt in each of his previous three games. He'll be looking to keep it going in Week 16 when the Cardinals travel to take on Carolina's porous defense.

Dicker made his only field-goal try and converted both of his two extra-point attempts during Sunday's 40-17 loss versus the Buccaneers.

The Chargers were only able to accumulate 206 yards of total offense in Week 15, harshly limiting Dicker's scoring chances. His team has now failed to crack 20 points in each of its last three games, keeping his floor low for the rest of the fantasy playoffs.

Slye made one of his two field-goal tries and converted both of his two extra-point attempts during Sunday's 30-17 loss at Arizona.

On the Patriots' first drive of the game, Slye hooked a 53-yard attempt wide to the left and extended his streak of games with at least one missed kick to four. Even when New England's sluggish offense has moved the ball this season, he's been inconsistent, making him an unappealing option for what remains of the fantasy playoffs.

Gay made both of his two field-goal tries and converted his only extra-point attempt during Sunday's 31-13 loss at Denver.

Gay didn't see a ton of action on a day where the Colts turned the football over five times, but he did extend his streak of games without a missed kick to five. He's been a bright spot for Indianapolis this season, but he'll need his team to hold onto the ball if he's going to put up big fantasy numbers in Week 16 versus the Titans.

Tucker converted all five of his extra-point attempts Sunday against the Giants. He did not have a field-goal attempt.

Concerns about Tucker's field-goal kicking were not addressed Sunday, as the Ravens never had to attempt one. The offense was in cruise control throughout the afternoon with five touchdowns on nine drives. Tucker was automatic on his extra-point attempts, though, which was encouraging after he missed one in his last outing against Philadelphia. The Ravens return home to host the Steelers on Saturday.

Bass made two of his three field-goal tries and converted all six of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 48-42 win at Detroit.

Bass missed a kick for the third time in his last four games in Week 15, this time pushing a field-goal attempt wide right from just 24 yards out. He's been less consistent overall this season than in years past, with five missed field-goal attempts from inside of 50 yards plus four missed extra points. He'll likely get a chance to bring his conversion rates back up when Buffalo hosts the Patriots' middling defense in Week 16, assuming the Buffalo weather holds up.

Fairbairn converted both of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point kicks in Sunday's 20-12 win over Miami in Week 15.

Fairbairn drilled one from 44 yards on Houston's first possession then was successful from 23 yards just before halftime. Since missing a short field-goal try that contributed to a loss in Week 12, Fairbairn made all five FGA and four XPA over the last two games.

Patterson converted his lone extra-point kick and did not attempt a field goal in Sunday's 21-7 loss to Kansas City in Week 15.

The Browns made kicker Dustin Hopkins, who had missed six of his last nine FGA, inactive for the week and elevated Patterson from the practice squad. Following Sunday's game, head coach Kevin Stefanski said Hopkins would return as the kicker for Week 16, per Daniel Oyefusi of EPSN.com. The coach thought it was best for Hopkins to get a week off amid his struggles.
