  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Shaky performance in defeat

    Butker went 1-for-2 on field-goal tries and made his only PAT in Sunday night's 20-10 loss to the Texans.

    Butker connected with the right upright on a 43-yard field-goal attempt late in the first half before later narrowly sneaking a 36-yard try inside the left upright in the third quarter. The missed field-goal attempt was his first since Week 4, and he hadn't missed a try from under 50 yards since the week prior. On the year, Butker has gone 22-for-26 on field-goal attempts, including 3-for-5 from 50-plus yards, while making 28 of 32 extra-point tries over 13 contests.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Converts two FGAs in victory

    Fairbairn went 2-for-2 on field-goal tries and made both of his PATs in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs.

    Fairbairn connected on a 35-yard field goal in the first quarter before later adding a 28-yarder in the fourth quarter, notching his eighth straight contest with at least two field-goal makes. The kicker has been an elite option for fantasy managers this season, going 29-for-32 on field-goal tries, including 5-for-8 from 50-plus yards, over 11 games.

  • Jake Moody K | WAS

    Commanders' Jake Moody: No kicks in Week 14

    Moody did not attempt a field goal or an extra-point try in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Vikings.

    Moody was blanked along with his team in Week 14, failing to attempt a kick for the first time over five contests with the 49ers, Bears and Commanders this year. The kicker will look to break a sweat in Week 15 against the Giants.

  • Chad Ryland K | ARI

    Cardinals' Chad Ryland: Makes one FGA in loss

    Ryland went 1-for-2 on field-goal tries and made both of his PATs in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Rams.

    Ryland was able to connect on a 38-yard field goal in the second quarter before later missing a 63-yard try wide right as time expired in the first half. The kicker has now missed at least one field-goal attempt in four consecutive contests, though you can't necessarily fault him for Sunday's miss. Ryland has gone 4-for-8 on field-goal tries, including 1-for-3 from 50-plus yards, over the last four games, and he'll look to get back on track in Week 15 against the Texans.

  • Packers' Brandon McManus: Nails four PATs in win

    McManus did not attempt a field goal and went 4-for-4 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 28-21 win over the Bears.

    McManus went without a field-goal try for the first time this season, and he has now made one or zero field goals in three of the last four games. The kicker has had an inconsistent campaign, going 15-for-21 on field-goal attempts, including 2-for-4 from 50-plus yards, over 10 contests. That being said, he's a perfect 4-for-4 on field-goal tries since missing the team's Week 11 win over the Giants with a quadriceps injury.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Jets' Nick Folk: Makes only FGA in loss

    Folk made his only field-goal try and PAT in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

    Folk made a 31-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, securing at least one field-goal make for the 12th time this season. Although the Jets' offense isn't particularly strong, the kicker still ranks amongst the best at his position this season, going 23-for-24 on field-goal attempts, including 6-for-7 from 50-plus yards, over 13 games so far.

  • Saints' Charlie Smyth: Misses field goal in win

    Smyth connected on 1-of-2 field goals and on 3-of-3 extra-point attempts in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Bucs.

    Smyth was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday to serve as New Orleans' placekicker for the second consecutive week. The rookie got the nod after the Saints cut Blake Grupe in late November, and he made his only kick, a 56-yard field goal, in his debut last Sunday against Miami. After his miss Sunday, though, the Saints' kicker role will again be worth monitoring in the week ahead.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Makes his kicks Sunday

    Carlson went 1-of-1 on field-goal tries and 2-of-2 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos.

    The kicker hit a meaningless 46-yarder as time expired in the fourth quarter. Carlson was perfect for the second week in a row and the third time in four games, but he's just not getting a lot of opportunities in one of the league's worst offenses. The eighth-year pro has attempted just 18 extra points in 13 games this season.

  • Blake Grupe K | IND

    Colts' Blake Grupe: Plays well in Indy debut

    Grupe made both field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars.

    The kicker was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday to replace Michael Badgley, who had missed three extra points in seven games with the Colts this year. Grupe himself failed to connect on eight field-goal tries with the Saints earlier this season, but he got another shot and made the most of it Sunday. The third-year pro should get another chance next Sunday at Seattle, though he may not have many scoring opportunities against one of the league's best defenses.

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Titans' Joey Slye: Perfect in win

    Slye connected on his only field-goal attempt and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-29 win over the Browns.

    Slye hit a 41-yarder in the fourth that put the Titans up 31-17, ultimately supplying the deciding points after Cleveland made a late run. The Tennessee kicker has missed five field goals this year and barely attempted one extra point per game, though he made the most of his chances Sunday.
