Cameron Dicker K | LAC
Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Only second miss of season
Dicker converted three of his four field-goal attempts in the 16-9 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.
Dicker's 50-yard field goal in the fourth quarter was blocked, ending what had been a perfect field-goal stretch dating back to Week 3. The emergence of the second-year kicker as a bona fide ace in the hole has been one of the few positive marks for a 5-11 Chargers team devoid of much success. He'll have a chance to solidify his position as one of the most accurate kickers in the league next week.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Broncos' Wil Lutz: Makes three field goals in win
Lutz made three of four field-goal attempts and converted his only extra-point try in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Chargers.
Lutz connected on field goals from 20, 32 and 43 yards out Sunday, while his only miss came on a 48-yard attempt in the final moments of the first half. The veteran kicker has now missed one kick in two straight games. Even so, Lutz boasts a solid 88 percent field-goal percentage on the season, a significant improvement over the 74 percent mark he hit in 2022 with the Saints. The 29-year-old will look to finish off his 2023 campaign with another strong performance when the Broncos visit the Raiders in Week 18.

Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Boots two field goals in loss
Carlson converted both of his field-goal attempts and two extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Colts.
Carlson nailed a pair of field goals in back-to-back road games the last two weeks in Kansas City and Indianapolis, as the Raiders now return home for their regular-season finale against the Broncos.

Chase McLaughlin K | TB
Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Disappointing day in Week 17
McLaughlin did not attempt any field goals and made his only extra-point try in the Buccaneers' 23-13 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
After multiple productive games, McLaughlin was a victim of the Buccaneers' especially poor offensive performance, one that saw them fail to put any points on the board until the fourth quarter. McLaughlin's single point on the afternoon was his lowest output of the season and snapped an eight-game streak of multiple PATs. However, the veteran kicker should have a much better chance at a productive performance in a Week 18 road matchup against the Panthers that shapes up as a must-win game for Tampa Bay.

Jake Elliott K | PHI
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Just one field goal in shootout
Elliott made one field goal and four extra points in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Cardinals.
The Eagles put up plenty of points Sunday, unlike they had in their previous three December defeats, but Elliott wasn't asked to attempt anything other than an extra point until his go-ahead 43-yarder with 2:33 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Philadelphia defense failed to hold onto the lead, however, consigning the team to its fourth defeat in five games.

Brandon McManus K | GB
Jaguars' Brandon McManus: Back on track with four FGs
McManus converted all four field-goal attempts and both PATs during Sunday's 26-0 win over Carolina.
Backup quarterback C.J. Beathard had trouble finishing drives for the Jags, leading to four field goals within 40 yards for McManus. The short makes end a streak of three games without a field goal for McManus, who is now 28-for-35 on the season and is perfect on 33 PATs.

Mason Crosby K | NYG
Giants' Mason Crosby: Moves back to practice squad
The Giants reverted Crosby to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Crosby has been New York's gameday kicker each of the past two weeks, going 3-for-4 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-4 on extra-point tries over that span. The veteran missed a 54-yard field-goal attempt late in the fourth quarter that could have won the game for the Giants on Sunday, but he did drill a 52-yarder Week 16 against Philadelphia. Unless New York opts to look for another option ahead of its final game of the season Sunday versus the Eagles, Crosby will likely kick for the team again in that contest.

Nick Folk K | ATL
Titans' Nick Folk: Makes lone attempt
Folk made his lone field-goal attempt in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Texans. He did not attempt an extra point.
The Titans struggled to move the ball and had minimal scoring opportunities in Sunday's loss. As a result, Folk was only called upon once, though he did manage to convert. He's now been limited to one or fewer attempts in five of his last seven games.

Jason Myers K | SEA
Seahawks' Jason Myers: Makes all five kicks vs. Pittsburgh
Myers made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Steelers.
All three of Myers' field goals came in the second half when he connected from 24, 42 and 43 yards out. He's converted on 82.5 percent of his field-goal tries this season and has made all of his kicks in four straight games. Myers is tied with Dustin Hopkins for the second-most made field goals this season.

Mike Badgley K | BUF
Lions' Michael Badgley: Converts two field goals
Badgley converted both of his field-goal attempts and his lone PAT during Saturday's 20-19 loss to Dallas.
After missing an extra-point try last week in Minnesota, Badgley redeemed himself with a flawless game that could have been bigger if not for Detroit's aggressiveness on fourth down and two-point attempts. The strong-legged Badgley will again have some upside as a fantasy option when the Lions' high-powered offense returns home for a regular-season finale against the Vikings in Week 18.
