McLaughlin drilled his only field-goal attempt from 52 yards and made all three extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 31-26 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

McLaughlin was his usual reliable self, maximizing each opportunity he was given in the high-scoring divisional clash. The Buccaneers managed to remain reasonably efficient on offense despite the absences of their top two receivers, so McLaughlin arguably saw less field-goal opportunity than he might have been projected for going in. The veteran kicker is now 6-for-7 from 50+ yards following his long-distance make Sunday, and he could see his team's offense stall more often in scoring position versus a tough Chiefs defense on the road next Monday night.

Myers connected on a 38-yard field goal and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Bills.

Myers remains perfect this season on kicks from within 40 yards, hitting all six of his field-goal tries and all 20 extra-point attempts. He has a decent opportunity ahead with a Week 9 matchup versus the Rams, who have given up 24.8 points per game, 11th most in the league.

Carlson reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday.

Carlson went 3-for-3 on both field-goal attempts and extra-point tries during Sunday's win over the Cowboys, as he once again served as the team's kicker since Jake Moody (ankle) remains sidelined. Carlson should continue to serve as the 49ers' placekicker in a Week 10 matchup versus Tampa Bay following the Week 9 bye if Moody is unable to return.

Elliott made all three of his field-goal tries and all four of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 37-17 win over the Bengals.

Elliott was good from 39 yards in the second quarter and from both 49 and 47 yards in the fourth. This was the busiest he's been all season. The most field goals he's made in a game this year prior to Week 8 was two, while the last time he'd attempted more than five total kicks in a game was back in Week 1.

Little made both field-goal attempts and all three PATs during Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Packers.

The rookie sixth-round pick converted field goals from 39 and 47 yards, which is the first time since Week 5 he's had multiple attempts in a game. Little missed from 43 yards in the second game of the season but has otherwise been perfect, going 13-for-14 on field goals and 17-for-17 on extra points through eight contests.

Folk did not attempt a field goal and made both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 52-14 loss to the Lions.

Folk remains limited by the Tennessee offense, as he has attempted multiple field goals in only one of seven games. He's yet to miss any of his kicks, but his lack of volume makes him a subpar kicker for fantasy purposes.

Carlson went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-24 victory over Dallas.

Carlson filled in at placekicker for the second week in a row and turned in his finest game as a pro. The sophomore kicker was perfect on all six of his attempts for an offense that moved the ball freely against Dallas. Carlson may lose his starting job when Jake Moody (ankle) returns from injury. With San Francisco entering its bye in Week 9, its probably safe to put Carlson back on the wire if you managed to benefit from Sunday's career performance.

McManus made all three field goals he attempted -- including a game-winning 24-yarder as time expired -- and three extra points in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Jaguars.

McManus buried a game-winning kick against the Texans in Week 7, and he accomplished the same feat just seven days later. He has made all 10 kicks he has gotten up -- four field goals and six extra points -- since joining the Packers, which is exactly what Green Bay was looking for when adding him to the roster in mid-October.

Lutz made all four of his extra-point tries and failed to attempt a single field goal in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Panthers.

Lutz had a quiet day Sunday, failing to attempt a single field goal for the first time in 2024. The veteran kicker was perfect on extra-point tries again and has not missed a PAT this season. Through eight games, Lutz remains one of the most accurate kickers in the league with a 94 percent field-goal success rate. The 30-year-old could have a chance to be more involved when the Broncos visit the Ravens in Week 9.

Sanders converted both of his field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries during Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.

Sanders was perfect for Miami in Tua Tagovailoa's return to the starting lineup, which despite a disappointing loss, featured the Dolphins' best scoring day of the season. The reliable placekicker has had at least two field-goal tries in six of seven appearances this season, and he'll hope for consistent opportunities again on the road against Buffalo in Week 9.
