  • Jake Moody K | WAS

    Commanders' Jake Moody: Perfect in loss

    Moody converted both his one field-goal attempt and one extra-point attempt in Saturday's 29-18 loss to the Eagles.

    Moody converted his 19-yard field goal attempt on the Commanders' first drive, and he was only called upon once more in the game, converting an extra-point attempt in the second quarter after a one-yard touchdown run by Jacory Croskey-Merritt. The kicker now moves to 6-of-6 on field-goal attempts and 5-of-6 on extra-point attempts through four games as a Commander.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Poor performance in win

    Elliott converted all three extra points he attempted, but he missed both attempted field goals in Saturday's 29-18 win over the Commanders.

    Elliott has now missed at least one field goal in four of his last five games. Saturday's misses were from 42 yards and 51 yards, respectively. The kicker now moves to 17-of-24 on the season for field goals, and 38-of-39 for extra-point tries.

  • Ben Sauls K | NYG

    Giants' Ben Sauls: Elevated for Sunday's start

    The Giants have elevated Sauls from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Sauls is slated to start in Week 16 with New York having waived Younghoe Koo. Sauls, an undrafted rookie out of Pittsburgh, will thus make his NFL debut for the Giants on Sunday, though he's spent time with three organizations to date. Across his five-year collegiate career, Sauls managed a 81.3 percent field-goal conversion rate.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Officially out for Week 16

    Sanders (hip) is officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Sanders wasn't activated from IR on Saturday, making him ineligible to play Sunday. He had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday but isn't yet ready to rejoin the 53-man roster. Riley Patterson has been accurate as Miami's kicker thus far and will get another chance to prove his consistency during Sunday's game against Cincinnati.

  • Mike Badgley K | BUF

    Bills' Michael Badgley: Elevated for Week 16

    The Bills have elevated Badgley from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Badgley is set to serve as Buffalo's starting kicker for Week 16 due to Matt Prater (quadriceps) being ruled out and Tyler Bass (hip) out for the season. Given that Prater is considered week-to-week, Badgley will have a chance to secure a multi-game role as the Bills' fill-in kicker as long as he's able to demonstrate accuracy versus Cleveland on Sunday.

  • Saints' Charlie Smyth: Inks three-year deal with Saints

    Smyth signed a three-year deal with the Saints on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    The 24-year-old from Northern Ireland has served as the Saints' placekicker in each of their last three games, converting on four of five field-goal attempts and all five of his extra-point tries. Following his new deal Saturday, Smyth is expected to remain New Orleans' top kicker for the foreseeable future.

  • Saints' Charlie Smyth: Officially signed to active roster

    The Saints signed Smyth to the active roster Friday.

    Smythe's signing comes as no shock, as the kicker had exhausted all of his practice squad elevations. As the kicker for the rest of the Saints' regular season, Smythe will start against the Jets, Titans, and Falcons. In a corresponding move, the Saints placed wide receiver Devaughn Vele (shoulder) on injured reserve.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Unlikely to play in Week 16

    Sanders (hip) isn't expected to play Sunday against the Bengals, but he may return in Week 17 against the Buccaneers or Week 18 against the Patriots, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

    Sanders had his 21-day window to return from injured reserve opened Wednesday, but he isn't expected to make his season debut Sunday. The kicker will likely be ruled out on Friday's injury report, which would pave the way for Riley Patterson to continue performing kicking duties for the Dolphins.

  • Rams' Harrison Mevis: Costly miss in OT loss

    Mevis made three of four field-goal attempts and all four PAT tries in Thursday's 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks.

    Mevis didn't make a kick longer than 41 yards, and he missed from 48 yards with 2:11 remaining in the fourth quarter and the game tied at 30-30. His first miss in seven games as a member of the Rams proved to be costly. Mevis should maintain a decent fantasy floor thanks to the scoring opportunities provided by the Rams' elite offense, but he lacks the mix of power and accuracy possessed by the NFL's top kickers. Up next for the Rams is a Week 17 trip to Atlanta on MNF.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Volume plummets in Week 16 win

    Myers didn't attempt a field goal and made both PAT attempts in Thursday's 38-37 overtime win over the Rams.

    The Seahawks couldn't afford to settle for field goals while trying to dig out of a 16-point fourth-quarter hole and went for two after each of their last three touchdowns. Myers had connected on at least three field-goal attempts in each of the previous six games, and he accounted for all 18 of Seattle's points in Week 15 with six field goals against the Colts. Thursday's ill-timed downturn could cost Myers' fantasy managers in the playoffs, but those that pull through can likely expect a bounce-back performance from one of the league's top kickers in Week 17 against the Panthers.
