Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Zero attempts against former team
Carlson did not attempt a kick in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Vikings.
Carlson managed to suit up Sunday despite dealing with an illness that impacted his practice participation earlier in the week, but he wasn't given the chance to attempt a single kick against his former team as the stout Vikings defense stymied the Raiders offense. An easier matchup awaits against the Chargers on Thursday Night Football in Week 15.

Jake Moody K | WAS
49ers' Jake Moody: No FG attempts again
Moody did not attempt a field goal and converted all four of his point-after tries in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Seahawks.
Moody's leg has been sitting on ice for two weeks running as San Francisco's offense continues to finish drives at an impressive clip. Through no fault of his own, the first-year kicker has attempted (and made) just one field goal in San Francisco's last three wins. The resulting low point totals hurts Moody's fantasy value heading into next Sunday's tilt against Arizona. That said, the rookie has made 85 percent of his field-goal attempts and has yet to miss a PAT, making him a safe kicking option for the fantasy playoffs despite his recent lack of usage.

Brandon McManus K | GB
Jaguars' Brandon McManus: No field goals Week 14
McManus made all three of his PATs and did not attempt a field goal during Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Browns.
McManus was held without a field-goal attempt for the first time this year, and he tied a season low with three points Sunday. The 32-year-old is 24-for-28 on field goals and 30-for-30 on PATs through 13 games, and a matchup with Baltimore awaits in Week 15.

Eddy Pineiro K | SF
Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Misses one kick
Pineiro made two of three field-goal tries and did not attempt an extra point in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Saints.
Pineiro converted from 47 and 29 yards prior to hitting the left upright with a failed 41-yard try. That marked Pineiro's fifth misfire on 42 total attempts this season. Through 13 games, he's managed 79 points.

Tyler Bass K | BUF
Bills' Tyler Bass: Important kicks in close victory
Bass made both of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Chiefs.
This was as close of a game as you could have between two perennial playoff teams -- one that came with a controversial ending -- and all of Bass's kicks mattered, namely his 39-yard make with 1:57 left to play that ultimately proved to be the difference in the final score. After an extremely dry run from Week 5 to Week 10, Bass has now put up 32 points over the last three games, moving him up to a more palatable 13th spot among kickers entering Monday night action.

Greg Zuerlein K | NYJ
Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Makes three FGs, three PATs in win
Zuerlein made all three of his field-goal attempts and all three PAT tries in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Texans.
After a scoreless first half, the Jets came alive offensively in the second half, scoring three touchdowns in a four-drive span before adding three field goals to increase their lead. Zuerlein's trio of fourth-quarter field goals were from 51, 55 and 44 yards.

Tyler Bass K | BUF
Bills' Tyler Bass: Comes through in clutch
Bass made both of his field goal and extra-point attempts in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Chiefs.
Bass was perfect on the day, first connecting on a 31-yard attempt on the Bills' first drive of the second half to build a 17-7 lead. He then followed with a 39-yard make with 1:57 remaining in the game to give Buffalo a 20-17 lead and ultimately the win. The fourth-year kicker is now 20-for-25 this season on FGAs and 36 of 37 on PATs. Bass and the Bills will next travel to Dallas for a Week 15 matchup.

Brandon Aubrey K | DAL
Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Sets another record Sunday
Aubrey made all four of his field-goal attempts and three extra-point tries in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Eagles.
Aubrey had an impressive Week 14 from all angles, making three field goals from 50-plus yards, including a 59 and 60-yarder, and becoming the first player in NFL history to make two attempts of 59 yards or more in the same game. His other attempts came from 45 and 50 yards out. The rookie kicker out of Notre Dame has yet to miss an FGA on the season and now sits at a perfect 30-for-30. Three PAT misses on 42 tries are the lone blemishes on his season. Aubrey and the Cowboys will next travel to Buffalo for a Week 15 matchup.

Lucas Havrisik K | GB
Rams' Lucas Havrisik: Turns in best performance of season
Havrisik connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 37-31 overtime loss to the Ravens.
With Mason Crosby (coach's decision) inactive, Havrisik was given one more chance as the Rams' kicker, and he didn't disappoint in a high-scoring affair. Havrisik drilled field goals from 27 and 51 yards before connecting on a 36-yard attempt with 11 seconds left in the fourth quarter to send the game into overtime. The embattled Rams' kicker may have saved his job for one more week after a gutsy performance, but the margin for error is likely still thin with Crosby waiting in the wings.

Greg Joseph K | LV
Vikings' Greg Joseph: Comes through in clutch
Joseph made one of two field-goal tries in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Raiders.
Joseph missed from 49 yards out in the second quarter, but the game would remain scoreless until he got another opportunity. That would come as the two-minute warning approached in the fourth quarter, where he was successful on a 36-yard attempt that gave Minnesota a 3-0 lead the Vikings wouldn't relinquish. Joseph and the Vikings will now travel to Cincinnati for a Week 15 interconference battle.
