  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Nails all six PATs

    Sanders converted his only field-goal attempt and all six extra-point tries during Sunday's 45-15 win over Washington.

    Sanders wasn't called upon to attempt many field goals Sunday, as at no point did the Dolphins' offense stall, but he was money on point-after tries. He faces another matchup Week 14 in which Miami figures to enter as a heavy favorite, with the Dolphins taking on the Titans on Monday.

  • Lions' Riley Patterson: Bounces back

    Patterson converted two of two field-goal attempts and all three PATs during Sunday's win over the Saints.

    This is a respectable statistical bounce-back effort after Patterson hit rock bottom in Week 12. Through 12 games, the Memphis product has now seen multiple field-goal attempts six times but none at all in five of the other contests. While the floor is non-existent, Patterson could again be a worthwhile roll of the dice in a road matchup in Week 14 against a Bears defense allowing the sixth-most points per game (24.7) this season.

  • Nick Folk K | ATL

    Titans' Nick Folk: Costly missed extra point

    Folk made two of his three extra-point attempts and both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to the Colts.

    Folk has been excellent this season, as he entered Sunday's contest having missed only one field goal across 23 attempts while making all 17 extra-point attempts. He was mostly on target once again, though he missed a vital point-after attempt late in the fourth quarter that would have given the Titans a one-point lead. That miss was influenced by an injury to Ryan Stonehouse (knee), as his absence forced Ryan Tannehill into the game as the holder, and he went on to mishandle the snap on Folk's missed kick. Assuming the Titans resolve their situation at holder before their Week 14 matchup against the Dolphins, Folk should remain a reliable kicking option.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Stays perfect at Green Bay

    Butker converted both of his two field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 27-19 loss at Green Bay.

    Both of Butker's field goals came from within 40 yards after the Chiefs' offense stalled out in the red zone, so it was a relatively easy day at the office despite the freezing weather. Kansas City still has a top-10 offense and Butker still hasn't missed this season, so weather will be the only concern in Week 14 when the Chiefs host a beatable Bills defense.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Suffers rare miss Sunday

    Boswell converted just one of his two field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 24-10 loss versus the Cardinals.

    Boswell's miss from 45 yards out late in the third quarter was just his second miss this season and his first since Week 8 versus Jacksonville, when he missed from 61 yards away. Otherwise, he's been incredibly accurate, held back only by a Pittsburgh offense that's averaging just 16.0 points per game. The Steelers will square off against a solid defense in Week 14 versus the Patriots, so Boswell won't be a great fantasy option despite his effectiveness.

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Commanders' Joey Slye: Misses lone field-goal attempt

    Slye missed his only field-goal attempt but converted his only extra-point try in Sunday's 45-15 loss versus the Dolphins.

    Washington's offense was only able to log 245 total yards in Week 13, so Slye's opportunities to kick were predictably few and far between. His only chance at a field goal didn't come until the fourth quarter when the game was already out of reach, and he pushed the 53-yard attempt wide right. After a bye in Week 14, the Commanders will travel to take on a middling Rams defense.

  • Chad Ryland K | ARI

    Patriots' Chad Ryland: No field-goal tries Sunday

    Ryland didn't record any field-goal attempts in Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Chargers.

    Heading into Week 13 action, there had been some speculation that Ryland, who had missed 35-yard field-goal tries in consecutive games, could be potentially be replaced as the Patriots' kicker. Though Matthew Wright was added to the team's practice squad, Ryland maintained his role Sunday. Looking ahead to Thursday night's game against the Steelers, the 2023 fourth-rounder is off the fantasy radar considering the continuing struggles of New England's offense.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Colts' Matt Gay: Perfect in overtime win

    Gay converted all of his four field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 31-28 overtime win at Tennessee.

    All of Gay's kicks in Week 13 were chip shots except for a 46-yarder he made just before the end of the first half to cut the Titans' lead to 17-13. It was a bit of a bounce back after he missed a field-goal attempt in both of the Colts' prior two games. He'll look to keep things rolling in Week 14 against a Cincinnati defense that's been quite soft so far this season, although the weather for that game will be worth keeping an eye on for fantasy managers.

  • Jake Moody K | WAS

    49ers' Jake Moody: Limited to PAT work Sunday

    Moody did not attempt a field goal while going 6-for-6 on point-after tries in Sunday's 42-19 win over the Eagles.

    Moody got to put his accurate feet up for most of this game and watch his teammates rally for six consecutive touchdown drives en route to a lopsided victory. San Francisco's success at finishing drives led to no field-goal attempts for the rookie, the third time that has happened this season. Moody was able to extend his streak of games without a missed kick to five ahead of next Sunday's tilt against Seattle.

  • Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Connects on both kicks in loss

    Zuerlein made both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 13-8 loss to the Falcons.

    Zuerlein connected from 27 yards out in the second quarter and from 46 in the third. New York's other two points were scored on the Jets' league-leading third safety of the season, but the offense failed to get into the end zone. Zuerlein has attempted 25 field goals but just eight PATs, making all but one of each.
