Dustin Hopkins K | CLE
Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Misses first FGA in loss
Hopkins missed his lone field-goal attempt and converted his lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 21-15 loss to the Giants in Week 3.
Hopkins was wide left on a 53-yard effort early in the third quarter, his first missed field-goal attempt of the season. The Browns opted to go for two points following their second touchdown, which limited Hopkins to one point. It was the second time in three games that Hopkins had five points or fewer in game, a reflection of an offense that's sputtered thus far.

Brayden Narveson K | TEN
Packers' Brayden Narveson: Another productive appearance
Narveson made all three field goals and all three extra points he attempted in Sunday's 30-14 victory over the Titans.
Narveson faced his former team less than a month after being waived by Tennessee, and the rookie wound up with both a season- and career-high 12 points. He did miss a kick in the 40-49 yard range for the third time in three weeks, but it was wiped out by a penalty, which resulted in his first perfect day as a professional. The misfires could still catch up to him at some point, but he has not missed from inside 40 yards nor on an extra-point attempt, and only one kicker league-wide has put more points on the board with two games to go in Week 3.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Broncos' Wil Lutz: Perfect on kicks
Lutz made all four of his field-goal tries while converting both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Buccaneers.
Lutz continued his perfect streak Sunday, as he has made all nine of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries through the first three games of the 2024 season. The Broncos' offense took a step forward against the Buccaneers, which gave the veteran kicker more opportunities in scoring range. As Denver's offensive unit continues to develop, Lutz could continue to make an impact going forward. The 30-year-old will look to stay perfect when the Broncos visit the Jets in Week 4.

Cairo Santos K | CHI
Bears' Cairo Santos: Misses first field goal of season
Santos connected on one of two field-goal attempts in the Bears' 21-16 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
After scoring 10 points in the season opener, Santos' production has fallen to seven and four points over the last two weeks. With the Bears having consistency issues on offense, Santos is likely to remain a volatile weekly fantasy option.

Jake Bates K | DET
Lions' Jake Bates: Quiet day in Arizona
Bates didn't attempt a field goal and went 2-for-3 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Cardinals.
Bates saw limited opportunities on Sunday in Arizona as Detroit's offense never stalled out in field goal range. Additionally, he hooked his second PAT try of the day in the second quarter, marking his first miss of any kind in 2024. Bates has now gone 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 5-for-6 on extra-point kicks through three games this season. He'll look to be more involved when the Lions take on the Seahawks at home on Monday Night Football in Week 4.

Blake Grupe K | IND
Saints' Blake Grupe: Hits two FGs in Sunday's loss
Grupe went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts during Sunday's 15-12 loss to the Eagles.
Grupe connected on field-goal tries of 34 and 38 yards to remain perfect through the first three games of the season. The 5-foot-7 kicker didn't get any point-after tries Week 3, as the Saints came up short on a two-point conversion attempt following their lone touchdown of the game. Grupe has been one of the NFL's most productive kickers thanks to the Saints' high-scoring offense over the first two games of the year. This unit will look to get back on track during next Sunday's road matchup versus the division-rival Falcons.

Matt Gay K | LV
Colts' Matt Gay: No field goals
Gay made all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 21-16 win over the Bears.
Gay spent the week dealing with a quadriceps injury but was still able to handle kicking duties for the Colts in Week 3. The Utah product wasn't needed often, though, and didn't have the opportunity to attempt a field goal. Next week Gay and the Colts will host the Steelers.

Will Reichard K | MIN
Vikings' Will Reichard: Stays perfect
Reichard made both all four extra-point tries and both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 34-7 win over the Texans.
Reichard has yet to miss during his rookie campaign and added 35- and 58-yard field makes to his resume in Week 3. The rookie is now 5-for-5 on FGAs and 10-for-10 on PATs this season. He and the Vikings will head to Green Bay for Week 4.
-
Jake Elliott K | PHI
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Misses lone field goal
Elliott made his only extra-point attempt, but he missed a field-goal try in the Eagles' 15-12 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Elliott's miss came from 60 yards out and was wide right. At the time the Eagles were trailing 7-6 in the fourth quarter. It was the Memphis product's first miss of the season, and he's now 4-for-5 on FGAs for the season. Next up for Elliott and Philadelphia is a Week 4 matchup with the Buccaneers.

Joshua Karty K | ARI
Rams' Joshua Karty: Active versus 49ers
Karty (groin) is listed as active Sunday's game against the 49ers, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
Karty approached the contest listed as questionable after returning to a limited practice Friday. He'll be available Sunday, but the 0-2 Rams' kicker will be working behind a short-handed offense that is minus its top two wide receivers, Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (knee).
