Nick Folk K | NYJ
Jets' Nick Folk: Perfect in Week 16
Folk made both of his field-goal attempts during Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints.
Folk converted on 29- and 36-yard field-goal tries in the first half but wasn't given any other opportunities to score during Sunday's loss. The 41-year-old has been one of the NFL's best kickers this season, making 27 of 28 field-goal attempts and all 21 of his point-after tries through 15 games. His next opportunity to kick will come in the Week 17 matchup against the Patriots.

Mike Badgley K | BUF
Bills' Michael Badgley: Misses once in win
Badgley made two of three extra-point tries and his lone field-goal attempt during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.
With both Matt Prater (quadriceps) and Tyler Bass (hip) ruled out for Sunday's contest, Badgley assumed the Bills' placekicker duties. He converted on a 41-yard field-goal try late in the third quarter that gave Buffalo a 13-point lead. The 30-year-old has now made 11 of 12 field-goal attempts and 20 of 24 point-after tries through eight games with the Colts and Bills this season. Badgley could serve as Buffalo's top kicker again in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles if Prater remains sidelined.

Tyler Loop K | BAL
Ravens' Tyler Loop: Misses once in loss
Loop made one of two field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Patriots.
During Sunday's loss, Loop left a 56-yard field-goal attempt short early in the third quarter that set up a scoring drive for the Patriots. The rookie sixth-round pick from Arizona has now converted on 27 of 30 field-goal attempts and 36 of 38 point-after tries through 15 games this season. His next opportunity to score will come in the Week 17 matchup against the Packers.

Andres Borregales K | NE
Patriots' Andy Borregales: Perfect in Week 16
Borregales converted on both of his field-goal tries and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Ravens.
The rookie from Miami has been one of the best kickers in the NFL this season, making 26 of 29 field-goal tries and 42 of 44 point-after attempts across 15 contests. He's expected to have plenty of scoring opportunities in the Week 17 matchup against the Jets.

Andre Szmyt K | CLE
Browns' Andre Szmyt: Makes all kicks in loss
Szmyt was successful on two field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bills in Week 16.
The Browns' offense played about as well as it could, and it led to Szmyt recording eight points, his third most this season and best since Week 10. Unfortunately for Szmyt and Cleveland's offense, running back Quinshon Judkins suffered season-ending leg and ankle injuries, which will impact the kicker's opportunities to score going forward. He's been successful on 20 of 23 field-goal attempts and 22 of 23 extra-point kicks.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Broncos' Wil Lutz: Misses one FGA in Week 16 loss
Lutz made two of three field-goal attempts and both of his PATs in Denver's 34-20 loss to Jacksonville on Sunday.
Lutz was good from 54 and 21 yards but missed a 44-yard kick in the first quarter, banging it off the right upright. On the season, Lutz has made 22 of 26 field-goal tries and all 36 of his extra-point attempts. Lutz and the Broncos will travel to Arrowhead this week to face the Chiefs on Thursday night.

Riley Patterson K | MIA
Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Makes three PATs in loss
Patterson converted all three of his extra-point attempts in Miami's 45-21 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
Patterson has kicked in all 15 games for Miami this season, making 24 of 26 field-goal attempts and 31 of 32 PATs. It's been a career year for the 26-year-old after he spent the previous four seasons bouncing around the league with five different teams.

Jake Bates K | DET
Lions' Jake Bates: Makes all four kicks in loss
Bates made his lone field-goal attempt and all three PATs in Sunday's 29-24 loss to the Steelers.
Bates' lone field goal was good from 36 yards. The second-year kicker has struggled a bit this season, making just 79 percent of his field-goal attempts after converting 90 percent as a rookie. However, he's remained strong in the PAT department, with NFL-highs in extra-point attempts (54) and conversions (52) through 15 contests. Bates will again be kicking in a dome this upcoming Thursday against the Vikings in Minnesota.

Brandon Aubrey K | DAL
Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Makes all three kicks in loss
Aubrey made his lone field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Chargers.
After missing a pair of field goals in last Sunday night's loss to the Vikings, Aubrey bounced back to make all three of his kicks against the Chargers. On the season, Aubrey has made 32 of 36 field-goal attempts and 42 of 43 PATs across 15 contests.

Zane Gonzalez K | ATL
Falcons' Zane Gonzalez: Misses PAT in Week 16 win
Gonzalez made both of his field-goal attempts and two of three PATs in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Cardinals.
Gonzalez converted 49- and 40-yard field goals versus Arizona but missed a second-quarter extra point following a six-yard Kyle Pitts touchdown. Gonzalez has kicked in seven games for Atlanta this season, going 13-for-15 on field-goal tries and 13-for-14 on extra points. He's not an overly exciting fantasy kicker headed into next Monday night's game against the Rams.
