  • Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Traveling with team to SF

    Aubrey (personal) is traveling with the Cowboys to San Francisco ahead of Sunday's Week 8 contest versus the 49ers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Aubrey served jury duty this week, preventing him from practicing in any capacity. However, he's with the Cowboys on the team's flight to San Francisco on Saturday, eliminating any doubt about the talented kicker being able to suit up Sunday. Aubrey has been excellent again for Dallas this season, converting 17 of 19 field-goal attempts, including eight of nine from 50-plus yards.

  • 49ers' Anders Carlson: Bumps up for Week 8 action

    The 49ers elevated Carlson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, in preparation for him to start Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Carlson will get another chance to start for San Francisco due to Jake Moody (ankle) being ruled out for Week 8 and Matthew Wright (shoulder) on injured reserve. Carlson, a second-year pro, converted both of his field-goal tries Week 7 against the Chiefs, but he missed his lone extra-point attempt.

  • Joshua Karty K | LAR

    Rams' Joshua Karty: Nails all four PATs

    Karty connected on all four of his extra-point tries during Thursday's 30-20 victory against the Vikings.

    The rookie kicker wasn't asked to do much against the Vikings, but Karty was able to shake the nerves off after two straight weeks with a missed PAT and drilled all four of his extra-point attempts. Karty's next task will be handling the imposing crowd of the division-rival Seahawks in Week 9, and he'll look to return to his perfect field-goal kicking form he had in Weeks 1-3.

  • Vikings' Will Reichard: Remains perfect in Week 8 loss

    Reichard made both of his field-goal attempts and both PAT tries in Thursday's 30-20 loss to the Rams.

    Reichard's perfect start to his NFL career continues. The rookie sixth-round draft pick out of Alabama has hit all 14 of his field-goal attempts to go with 20 makes in as many PATs tried. Reichard has hit from as far as 58 yards, but he wasn't challenged Thursday, as his longest kick was in chip-shot range at 35 yards.

  • Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Expected to be available Sunday

    Aubrey won't practice Thursday for the second straight day while away on jury duty, but head coach Mike McCarthy said that the Cowboys "have a plan to make sure he's ready to go" for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Though the organization was willing to pursue an exemption that would allow Aubrey to bypass jury duty, the 29-year-old was reportedly insistent on fulfilling his civic responsibility after he was selected to be part of a 12-person jury for a felony assault case in Tarrant County, Texas. Per Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Cowboys have an expectation that the judge overseeing the assault case will be willing to accommodate the kicker's schedule, which will allow him to potentially practice Friday and play Sunday even if the case isn't resolved by then. Aubrey has been one of the top fantasy kickers this season, converting all nine of his extra-point tries and 17 of 19 field-goal attempts, which includes an 8-for-9 mark from 50-plus yards.

  • Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Misfires on 55-yard attempt

    McLaughlin converted one of his two field-goal attempts and knocked down both of his point-after tries in Monday's 41-31 loss to the Ravens.

    McLaughlin had gone 11-for-11 on field-goal tries through the Buccaneers' first six games, but he saw his streak of perfection come to an end midway through the third quarter of Monday's contest. He nearly came through with his sixth kick of the season of more than 50 yards, but his 55-yard attempt clanked off the right upright. While being attached to a high-powered Tampa Bay offense, McLaughlin has recorded at least nine points in four of the first seven games, but his scoring opportunities could become more limited over the next few games after the Buccaneers lost their top two receivers (Mike Evans and Chris Godwin) to injuries in Monday's loss.

  • Commanders' Austin Seibert: Fills up scoreboard vs. Panthers

    Seibert made all four of his field-goal tries and converted all four of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 40-7 win versus Carolina.

    Seibert has now made multiple field goals in five of his six games in 2024, and Week 7 was actually his second consecutive game attempting four field goals. Washington has scored as many points through seven weeks as any team in the league (31.1 per game), and Seibert has made as many field goals as any other kicker (19).

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Delivers 11-point performance

    Tucker converted both of his field-goal tries and went 5-for-5 on extra-point attempts in Monday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.

    Tucker was perfect for the fourth week in a row and rode the coattails of a potent Baltimore offense en route to his third straight double-digit scoring performance. His second field goal of the night was a 52-yarder, his second-longest kick of the season.

  • Cam Little K | JAC

    Jaguars' Cam Little: Does job in lopsided win

    Little made his only field-goal try and converted all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 32-16 win against New England.

    Little's field goal in the middle of the third quarter to put the Jaguars up 25-10 came from just 21 yards out, shorter than an extra point. That said, he has now made 11 of his 12 field-goal tries this season and all 14 of his extra-point attempts, so he could have the makings of an elite fantasy asset if Jacksonville can somehow pick up its lethargic offensive play.

  • Younghoe Koo K | ATL

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Misses lone FG attempt

    Koo made both extra-point tries but missed his lone field-goal attempt during Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Seahawks.

    Koo's lone field-goal attempt came from 54 yards out, and he's now 5-for-7 from beyond 50 this season. This was the first time the Falcons' offense failed to score at least 20 points since Week 3 against the Chiefs, but they should be able to move the ball against the Buccaneers' porous defense in Week 8, making Koo a bounce-back candidate.
