Jude McAtamney K | NYG
Giants' Jude McAtamney: Heads back to practice squad
McAtamney reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday.
With two Giants place kickers on injured reserve, McAtamney got the call Sunday against the Commanders, connecting on his only field-goal attempt from 31 yards and his sole point-after try. Greg Joseph (abdomen) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, but Graham Gano (hamstring) is a candidate to return to action at any point. If Gano is designated for return this week, McAtamney's time as the team's kicker may be contained to one game. Until that happens, though, McAtamney could get another chance to kck this coming Sunday versus the Panthers.

Joshua Karty K | LAR
Rams' Joshua Karty: Perfect performance Sunday
Karty connected on both of his field-goal attempts and converted both of his extra point-tries during Sunday's 26-20 overtime victory against the Seahawks.
Karty's first FG attempt since Week 7 was a successful 38-yard attempt, and he tacked on a 21-yard chip shot in the third quarter. The rookie kicker was also perfect on extra points and will look to carry his momentum of two straight weeks of perfect accuracy against the Dolphins in Week 10.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Broncos' Wil Lutz: One field-goal attempt in loss
Lutz made his lone field-goal attempt and converted his only extra-point try in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Ravens.
Lutz accounted for four of Denver's 10 points Sunday, as the veteran kicker was seldomly called upon on a day in which the Broncos struggled to move the ball efficiently. The 30-year-old continued his perfect streak on kicks, connecting on a 37-yard field goal late in the second quarter. Lutz now boasts a 95 percent field-goal success rate heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Chiefs.

Brandon McManus K | GB
Packers' Brandon McManus: Misfires for first time
McManus made two of three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions.
Sunday's rainy conditions at Lambeau Field certainly were not ideal for kicking, but nonetheless, McManus misfired from 46 yards out in the second quarter -- his first miss in three games with the Packers. Green Bay will be on bye in Week 10, so those who have added him to their fantasy rosters will need to look for another option. There is reason to replace him altogether, but it should be noted that since McManus made his season debut in Week 7, only five more kickers -- pending the results of the Monday night game -- have attempted more field goals.

Cameron Dicker K | LAC
Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Rough outing Sunday
Dicker missed his only field-goal try and converted three of his four extra-point attempts during Sunday's 27-10 win at Cleveland.
Dicker's missed field goal came from 44 yards out, but since the Chargers already had a 20-3 lead in the fourth quarter, it wasn't very meaningful. What's slightly more concerning is that Sunday's game was Dicker's second in a row with a missed extra point. He'll be looking to bounce back in Week 10 versus the Titans.

Jason Sanders K | MIA
Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Faultless in road loss
Sanders made both of his two field-goal tries and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 30-27 loss at Buffalo.
Sanders made multiple field goals for his second straight contest in Week 9, further demonstrating his accuracy on short kicks this season. The Dolphins' offense appears to be back on track with Tua Tagovailoa under center again, and Sanders will get the benefit of kicking indoors in Week 10 against the Rams.

Cam Little K | JAC
Jaguars' Cam Little: One PAT in loss
Little did not attempt a field goal and converted his lone PAT during Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Eagles.
The Jaguars had successful two-point conversions on their first two touchdowns after trailing 22-0, and Little's only opportunity came after the third touchdown late in the fourth quarter. It's the first time all season the rookie sixth-round pick didn't attempt a field goal, and he remains a volatile fantasy option due to Jacksonville's erratic offense.

Brandon Aubrey K | DAL
Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Perfect in Sunday's loss
Aubrey converted both his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's loss to the Falcons.
He drilled a 34-yard field goal in the first quarter and a 57-yarder right at the end of the third, and Aubrey hasn't missed a kick since Week 5 in Pittsburgh. The second-year kicker has seen fewer PATs and more FGs this season due to the struggles of the Cowboys' offense, and that doesn't seem likely to change with both Dak Prescott (hamstring) and CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) banged up heading into a Week 10 clash with the Eagles.

Austin Seibert K | WAS
Commanders' Austin Seibert: Reliable in road win
Seibert made both of his two field-goal tries and all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 27-22 win against the Giants.
Both of Seibert's field goals were shorter than extra points, so he wasn't tasked with anything too difficult Sunday. With that said, he has now made multiple field goals in seven of his eight games this season, and his 25 made field goals so far in 2024 are more than any other kicker in the league.

Jake Bates K | DET
Lions' Jake Bates: Perfect in poor weather
Bates made his only field-goal attempt while converting all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-14 win over the Packers.
Bates attempted only one field goal for the third game in a row, making a 27-yarder in the second quarter. With swirling wind and rain throughout Sunday's contest in Green Bay, it was a challenging day to be a kicker. Bates has now gone 12-for-12 on field goals while making 30 out of 31 PATs in 2024.
