Mason Crosby K | NYG
Mason Crosby: Bumped down to practice squad
The Rams reverted Crosby to the practice squad Monday.
Crosby was inactive for Sunday's 37-31 overtime loss to the Ravens. Lucas Havrisik ended up having his best performance of the season, as he connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries. It's likely that Havrisik's job is safe for at least one more week, though Crosby will be on standby should the former underperform.

Matt Ammendola: Heads back to practice squad
The Texans reverted Ammendola to the practice squad Monday.
Ammendola missed his lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Jets, a game when the Houston offense wasn't able to move the ball effectively. Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) has missed the last five games while on IR, and Ammendola could continue to handle kicking duties if the former is unable to progress enough to suit up for Week 15 against the Titans.

Jake Elliott K | PHI
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Makes two field goals
Elliott went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and converted his only extra point in Sunday's 33-13 loss to the Cowboys.
Few Eagles could be proud of their performance on Sunday, but Elliott did at least make a 52-yard kick in the first quarter, meaning he's now 7-for-8 from beyond 50 yards this season. Only two kickers (Brandon Aubrey and Dustin Hopkins) have made more from that distance this season.

Jason Myers K | SEA
Seahawks' Jason Myers: Nails both kicks
Myers connected on a 40-yard field goal and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 28-16 loss to the 49ers.
Myers missed a kick in three straight games leading up to this contest, so it was good to see a perfect outing by the veteran kicker. The 31-year-old has connected on 26 of 33 field-goal attempts (79 percent) this season while hitting just four of eight kicks from beyond 40 yards (50 percent). The Seahawks will likely be heavy underdogs in Week 15 against the Eagles, meaning the team may elect to go for it on fourth down instead of kicking field goals if the game gets lopsided early.

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.
