York made two extra-point tries but missed both of his field goal attempts in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Buccaneers.

It was a rough start for York in Washington, who was acquired via trade from Cleveland during training camp. However, they weren't chip shots for the LSU product, with his misses coming from 47 and 56 yards out. He'll have a chance to get on track in Week 2 against the Giants.

Bates went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and converted both of his extra-point attempts Sunday against the Rams.

Bates was perfect in his NFL debut, nailing both of his field-goal tries from 25 yards and 32 yards in Detroit's victory. The kicker was thrust into a starting role after Michael Badgley (hamstring) sustained a season-ending injury in August, and he's in a favorable position for fantasy value with the Lions' high-scoring offense.

Aubrey connected on all four of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 33-17 win over the Browns.

It's the kick that didn't count that stands out the most, however. Right before halftime, Aubrey coolly drilled a 66-yarder that would have tied Justin Tucker's record for the longest field goal in NFL history, only to have it wiped out by a delay of game penalty. It's a testament to his leg strength that head coach Mike McCarthy actually seemed to consider letting Aubrey give it a go from 71 yards out, before electing to send out the offense for a Hail Mary instead. Aubrey led the league last season with 157 points, and given the way the Dallas offense dismantled a strong Cleveland defense Week 1, he should be right back near the top of the scoring leaderboard again in 2024.

Hopkins converted his lone field-goal attempt and both extra-point kicks in Sunday's 33-17 loss to the Cowboys in Week 1.

Hopkins was the only thing perfect in an ugly Cleveland loss. He nailed a 51-yarder to give the Browns a first-quarter lead and drilled a couple of extra points in the second half when the game was out of hand. Hopkins has been successful on 73 of 81 (90.1 percent) field-goal attempts since 2021.

Santos was perfect on three field-goal attempts in the Bears' 24-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Coming into this season, Santos had converted 93 percent of his field-goal attempts for the Bears. However, his fantasy value was often low, due to the frequent ineffectiveness of the Chicago offense. Although the offense was not great in this game, field-goal opportunities allowed Santos to have a strong showing in Week 1. If the Bears can get better play from Caleb Williams, Santos could become a weekly fantasy starter.

Sanders converted two of three field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Jaguars.

Sanders missed wide left from 42 yards out in the fourth quarter, but he more than made up for the gaff by converting from 37 yards out with less than five minutes remaining, then nailing a 52-yarder to put Miami ahead as time expired. The sixth-year pro will look to remain clutch Week 2, as the Dolphins prepare for a divisional Thursday Night Football matchup against the Bills.

Shrader converted all three of his extra-point tries but did not attempt a field goal in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Texans.

Matt Gay (hernia) was unable to practice leading up to Week 1, which prompted the Colts to promote Shrader from the practice squad. Shrader didn't end up attempting a field goal in Sunday's loss, though he was perfect on all of his extra-point attempts. Shrader will likely be elevated to the active roster for Week 2 against the Packers if Gay is unable to participate in practice.

Elliott made four extra-point attempts and two field goals in Friday's 34-29 win over the Packers.

Elliott has been one of the best kickers in football for the last three seasons and so far has carried that success into 2024. The Memphis product was perfect on the day, making 21 and 38-yard field goals, aiding Philadelphia in its Week 1 win. Elliott and the Eagles will host the Falcons next Monday in Week 2.

Slye made all three of his field-goal attempts and converted on his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Bengals.

All three of Slye's field-goal attempts Sunday were within 40 yards. His longest came from 37 yards out in the fourth quarter to give the Patriots a nine-point lead. Slye will look to continue his perfect season in Week 2 against the Jets on Thursday.

McPherson made his lone field goal attempt and extra-point try in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Patriots.

McPherson didn't have a kick attempt until the third quarter of Sunday's game due to the Bengals' offense struggling to march down the field. He converted the extra-point attempt in the third quarter following a Zack Moss touchdown run, and McPherson connected on a 51-yard field-goal attempt late in the fourth quarter. McPherson and Cincinnati will take on Kansas City in Week 2.
