McPherson made a field goal and two extra-point attempts in Sunday's 25-17 loss to the Chiefs.

McPherson's lone FGA came from 34 yards out on the Bengals' opening drive, which gave them a 3-0 lead. He chipped in two PATs in the second quarter, but other than the kickoff to open the second half, the Flordia product didn't take the field again, as Cincinnati was shut out the rest of the way. Next up for McPherson and the Bengals is a Week 18 divisional clash with the Browns.

Prater connected on both of his field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries in Sunday's 35-31 win over the Eagles.

Prated made a 28-yard field goal in the first quarter and was good again from 34 yards out in the second, which was all the Cardinals' scoring in the first half. The 39-year-old then contributed successful PATs on three of Arizona's second-half touchdowns.

Ryland missed his only field-goal attempt and made all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Bills.

Ryland's miss in the contest was from 47 yards out, and overall the rookie kicker has made 15 of his 24 field-goal tries and 24 of his 25 extra-point opportunities through 16 games. As the Patriots' season finale against the Jets approaches, Ryland profiles as a risky fantasy lineup option in Week 18.

Slye made his only field-goal attempt and extra-point try in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the 49ers.

Washington scored all 10 of its points in the second quarter, first on a 47-yard field goal from Slye and then via a Terry McLaurin touchdown catch that Slye followed with an extra point. The Commanders close out the season by hosting the Cowboys in Week 18.

Butker made all six field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 25-17 win over the Bengals.

Butker was on the field early and often, beginning with point-after attempt on an Isiah Pacheco touchdown and subsequently for six field goals to help push the Chiefs to victory. The Georgia Tech product was good from 54, 43, 27, 24, 48 and 46 yards out in the contest. He's now 31-for-33 this season on FGAs, which is good for a 94% conversion rate. Next up for Butker and the Chiefs is a Week 18 matchup with the Chargers.

Joseph made a field goal and extra-point try in Sunday's 33-10 loss to the Packers.

Joseph connected on a 54-yard try in the second quarter to put a dent in a 10-0 deficit. The 29-year-old wouldn't return to the field until the fourth quarter for an extra-point try after a Johnny Mundt touchdown. Joseph is now 22-for-28 on FGAs this season as the Vikings head into their last game of the season against the Lions in Week 18.

Carlson made two field goals and three of four extra-point tries in Sunday's 33-10 victory over the Vikings.

Carlson -- in terms of both opportunities and successes -- matched his Week 16 line in Sunday's contest, with the exception being neither of his field goals came from more than 37 yards out. He missed an extra point for the fifth time in his rookie season, but he did record at least nine points for the fourth time in five chances. He and the Packers will close out the regular season versus a Bears team he put eight points on the board against in Week 1.

Fairbairn converted all four field-goal attempts and both extra-point kicks in Sunday's 26-3 win over Tennessee in Week 17.

Fairbairn continued his steady season and hasn't missed a kick of any kind since Week 2. For the season, he's been successful on 26 of 27 FGA and all 19 extra-point kicks. If not for missing five games due to injury, when replacement Matt Ammendola was presented nine field-goal attempts and 11 extra-point tries, Fairbairn would be among the top scoring kickers in the NFL.

Sanders converted both of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try during Sunday's 56-19 loss to Baltimore.

Sanders converted field goals from 38 and 27 yards out Sunday, but as the Ravens' lead slowly expanded, Miami was forced to pursue touchdowns more aggressively and foresake the kicking game. As long as the Dolphins are able to keep Week 18's crucial divisional matchup against Buffalo closer, Sanders should see more scoring opportunities. In seven appearances since the Dolphins' bye, Sanders has averaged 2.7 field-goal tries per game.

Santos converted three of four field-goal attempt in the Bears' 37-17 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Since Week 10, Santos has been an excellent fantasy option. The veteran kicker has tallied at least nine points in six of his last seven games, and he should remain a solid lineup option in Week 18 at Green Bay, as long as the weather cooperates.
