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.

Chad Ryland K | ARI
Cardinals' Chad Ryland: Nails game-winner vs. Chargers
Ryland converted his only field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries during Monday's 17-15 win over the Chargers.
Ryland's lone field-goal attempt came on the Cardinals' final play of the night, a 32-yarder and his second game-winner of the regular season so far. While filling in for Matt Prater (knee) in Arizona's last three games, Ryland has gone 6-for-7 on field goals and converted all four of his PATs. Prater won't be eligible to come off IR until Week 12 versus Seattle, at the earliest, leaving Ryland in line to start Sunday against the Dolphins and beyond.

Cameron Dicker K | LAC
Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Scores 15 points in loss
Dicker converted all five of his field-goal attempts during Monday's 17-15 loss to the Cardinals.
Dicker had a career performance in Arizona, with Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles offense struggling consistently. He ultimately scored every point for the Chargers, and the 40-yarder Dicker nailed with 1:55 remaining in the fourth quarter would've been enough to put the team ahead, had the defense held. He'll look to carry some positive momentum into Sunday's home game against the Saints.

Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Racks up 15 points in loss
Carlson converted all five of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams.
Carlson was the only Raider to put points on the board in this contest, rebounding from a slow Week 6 outing in which he attempted just one extra point all game against the Steelers. A tough test awaits for this Las Vegas offense with Gardner Minshew at the helm versus the Chiefs in Week 8, but Carlson remains steady when given the opportunity to boot it through the uprights.

Greg Joseph K | NYG
Giants' Greg Joseph: Makes lone kick Week 7
Joseph converted his only field-goal try and did not attempt an extra point Sunday in a loss to the Eagles.
Joseph missed a pair of field-goal tries Week 6 but was retained for Week 7 with Graham Gano (hamstring) not yet ready to return. New York's offense was woeful against Philadelphia, so Joseph didn't get much of a chance to redeem himself, though he did score the team's only points on a 38-yard field goal just before halftime. Joseph is now a tolerable 9-for-12 on field-goal attempts on the campaign, but he'll likely give way to Gano as soon as the latter is able to return, potentially as soon as Week 8 against Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football.

Nick Folk K | TEN
Titans' Nick Folk: Another quiet day
Folk made his only field-goal attempt and only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Bills.
The story has been the same for Folk throughout the season, as he's been very accurate but also had limited opportunity due to the state of Tennessee's offense. He has yet to miss a kick this season, but he has attempted multiple field goals in only one of six contests.

Anders Carlson K | NYJ
49ers' Anders Carlson: Moves back to practice squad
Carlson reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday.
Carlson is getting a second chance in the NFL due to multiple injuries to kickers in San Francisco. While he netted both field-goal attempts (55 and 24 yards) during Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, he wasn't without his foibles, missing his only point-after try. With Matthew Wright (shoulder) on injured reserve and with head coach Kyle Shanahan telling Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News on Monday that Jake Moody (ankle) won't be available to return Week 8 against the Cowboys, Carlson again will serve as the 49ers' placekicker this coming weekend.

Jason Myers K | SEA
Seahawks' Jason Myers: Drills 59-yarder
Myers connected on two field-goal attempts and all four extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-14 win over the Falcons.
Myers drilled a 38-yarder on the opening drive and later hit a season-long 59-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. The veteran kicker has now hit six of nine field-goal tries from beyond 40 yards (67 percent) while making all 19 of his extra-point attempts.

Jake Moody K | SF
49ers' Jake Moody: Won't play Week 8
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Moody (ankle) won't play in next Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
The 49ers have a Week 9 bye, so Moody will get another two weeks to heal from his right ankle sprain. Anders Carlson will again kick for San Francisco after he made both of his field-goal attempts (from 55 and 24 yards) against Kansas City. Carlson, however, missed his one extra-point try.

49ers' Anders Carlson: Kicks two FGs on Sunday
Carlson went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and missed his only point-after try in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs.
Carlson made his debut for the 49ers on Sunday and made kicks from 24 and 55 yards out. The former Packers placekicker missed his only PAT, and it was a so-so debut from a fantasy standpoint. If Jake Moody (ankle) is unable to suit up for Sunday's tilt against the Cowboys, Carlson would likely earn another start with San Francisco.
