  • Younghoe Koo K | NYG

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Perfect in win

    Koo made his only field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 24-15 win over the Saints.

    Despite being limited at practice during Week 12 prep due to a back injury, Koo didn't have an injury designation for Sunday's contest. He didn't show any ill effects during the win, making all four of his kicks, including a 39-yarder in the fourth quarter to make it a two-score game. Koo hasn't missed a kick since Week 3, sinking 13 PATs and 15 FGs during that stretch.

    Vikings' Greg Joseph: Makes lone field goal in loss

    Joseph connected on his only field-goal try and extra-point attempt in Monday's 12-10 loss to the Bears.

    Joseph was successful from 34 yards out to bring the first half to a close and tie the game at three. He didn't step on the field again until his PAT that gave the team a 10-9 lead midway through the fourth. Next up for Joseph and the Vikings is a Week 13 matchup with the Raiders.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Continues hot streak

    Santos made four of five field-goal attempts in the Bears' 12-10 win over the Vikings on Monday.

    Santos provided all of the scoring for the Bears in their upset victory over Minnesota. After having very little production through Week 9, Santos has scored in double digits in each of his last three games. After the Week 13 bye, Santos could be viewed as a streaming option at kicker.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Trending toward Week 14 return

    Fairbairn is making significant progress in his recovery from a right quadriceps strain and appears on track to return from injured reserve when first eligible for activation in Week 14, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    While Fairbairn has missed the Texans' last three games, Matt Ammendola filled in as the team's kicker but converted only three of six field-goal tries, although he was perfect on nine extra-point attempts. The Texans waived Ammendola on Monday after he missed on two of his three field-goal tries in the team's Week 12 loss to the Jaguars, including a misfire on a 58-yard attempt late in the fourth quarter that would have tied the game. While Houston could still re-sign Ammendola to its practice squad and elevate him for this Sunday's game against the Broncos, the team will also work out Brett Maher on Tuesday. Houston looks like it will have to get by with a replacement kicker for just one more game with Fairbairn tracking toward a return when first eligible.

  • Nick Folk K | ATL

    Titans' Nick Folk: Converts long field goal

    Folk made his only field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Panthers.

    Folk wasn't called upon much, but he delivered a 53-yard field goal just before halftime to put the Titans up by two touchdowns. He's now made four of his five attempts from more than 50 yards away and is 22-for-23 on field goals this season.

  • Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Bounces back in Week 12 loss

    McLaughlin converted field-goal attempts of 21 and 24 yards while also drilling both his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Colts.

    McLaughlin had been limited to just two PATs in the Week 11 loss to the 49ers, so Sunday represented a welcome bump in opportunity. McLaughlin now boasts a career-high 90.5 percent (19-for-21) success rate on field-goal attempts this season, and he's yet to miss any of his 19 extra-point tries. However, the Buccaneers' struggles on offense continue to cap his overall production, although a seemingly favorable matchup awaits in Week 13 in the form of a visit from the lowly Panthers.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Sends game to OT with 59-yarder

    Elliott converted four extra points and made a game-tying 59-yard field goal with 20 seconds remaining in regulation in Sunday's 37-34 overtime win over the Bills.

    The Eagles had advanced as far as the Buffalo 34-yard line on their final drive before a sack and a pair of false starts pushed them back seven yards and gave Elliott quite a tough task, but he managed to convert under pressure through the wind and rain to keep his team alive. He's now 6-for-7 from beyond 50 yards this season, though the Eagles have been better at getting into the end zone of late, cutting into his fantasy value. He's averaged 0.5 made field goals over the last six games after averaging 3.2 over his first five contests.

  • Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Converts both kicks

    Pineiro made his only field-goal attempt and only extra-point try in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Titans.

    Pineiro hit a 50-yard field goal and has now made 33 of 37 total kicks this season. However, with the Panthers offense still struggling to move the ball consistently, Pineiro has been limited to single-digit points in every game thus far.

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Second straight double-digit outing

    Bass was 2-for-4 on field-goal attempts and made all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Eagles.

    While it was a nice fantasy performance put forth by Bass, it was the misses that proved costly to the Bills in a loss that could ultimately cost them a playoff spot. One was a blocked kick, and the other was a 48-yard attempt. While he hasn't been awful, Bass's current 78.3 percent rate on field goals would be a career low in what has overall been a fine career by the fourth-year kicker out of Georgia Southern. On a brighter note, two of Bass's five double-digit outings this season have come in the past two games, both under new offensive coordinator Joe Brady. Bass is currently tied for ninth in scoring among kickers.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Perfect in win over Jets

    Sanders converted both of his field-goal attempts and all four extra-point tries during Friday's 34-13 win over the Jets.

    Sanders has now converted a field-goal try of 50+ yards in back-to-back games after having not done so through the first nine weeks of the season. He has another favorable matchup on deck in Week 13 against the Commanders.
