Wil Lutz K | DEN
Broncos' Wil Lutz: Flawless performance in win
Lutz made all five of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 21-20 win over the Vikings.
Lutz was heavily involved Sunday, as the veteran kicker accounted for 15 of the Broncos' 21 points in the contest. The 29-year-old continued his stellar 2023 campaign and has now made 22 of his 24 field-goal tries this season. This 92 percent success rate is a drastic improvement over his 2022 performance, in which he connected on just 74 percent of his field-goal attempts. Lutz will look to carry this momentum into a Week 12 matchup with the Browns.

Riley Patterson K | MIA
Lions' Riley Patterson: Held without field-goal attempt
Patterson converted three of three PATs during Sunday's 31-26 win over the Bears.
Detroit did not attempt a field goal for the fourth time in 10 games this year. Making matters worse for Patterson's production was the Lions' decision to go for a two-point conversion after one of the team's four touchdowns, as Detroit otherwise scored on a safety to reach 31 points. Just a few weeks removed from attempting five field goals against the Raiders, Patterson is entering Week 12 as a high-upside, low-floor fantasy option.

Jake Elliott K | PHI
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Only sees extra-point opportunities
Elliott wasn't called upon to kick a field goal in the Eagles' 21-17 win over the Chiefs on Monday, but he did make all three of his extra-point tries.
Elliott has had limited opportunities since Week 5, seeing the field for only three FGAs in his last five games and none in his last two. However, he continues to see a heavy amount of PATs, with 18 opportunities over that same timeframe. Next up for Elliott and the Eagles is a matchup with the Bills in Week 12.

Harrison Butker K | KC
Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Remains perfect
Butker made his lone field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries in Monday's 21-17 loss to the Eagles.
Butker connected from 43 yards out at the end of the first half to help the Chiefs extend their lead to 17-7, but other than the opening kickoff of the second half, the Georgia Tech product wasn't called upon again. He is now 19-for-19 on FGAs and 24 -for-24 on PATs on the season. Other than Randy Bullock, who has only appeared in three games, no other kicker has converted on all their opportunities this season besides Butker.

Nick Folk K | ATL
Titans' Nick Folk: Limited impact in Week 11
Folk made both his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Jaguars.
Folk has been excellent for Tennessee throughout the season but was only asked to convert two extra-point attempts in Sunday's loss. In four games since the team's bye, Folk has attempted zero field goals on two occasions.

Randy Bullock K | NYG
Giants' Randy Bullock: Back to practice squad
Bullock reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday.
Bullock will return to the practice squad after making his only field-goal attempt and all three extra-point tries during the team's win versus the Commanders on Sunday. The 33-year-old has already been elevated three times this season, so he will need to be signed to the active roster in order to play again. The team will now have to decide whether to sign Bullock or to go with Cade York for their upcoming matchup with the Patriots.

Chase McLaughlin K | TB
Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Limited to PATs in loss
McLaughlin did not record any field-goal attempts and made both his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 27-14 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
McLaughlin had been on a nice roll coming into Sunday's game, having logged multiple field-goal attempts in six straight contests. However, the 49ers defense did a number on Tampa Bay's offense most of the afternoon, causing two turnovers, forcing three punts and booting the Bucs off the field on downs in two other instances. Nevertheless, McLaughlin should have a solid chance for a resurgence in a Week 12 road matchup against a Colts defense that figures to provide much less resistance to Baker Mayfield and his weapons.

Jason Myers K | SEA
Seahawks' Jason Myers: Misses game-winning kick
Myers connected on three of four field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Rams.
Myers was automatic heading into Sunday, and he continued his excellence with three made field goals from 43, 52 and 54 yards during the divisional clash. But, his streak of 15 straight successful field goals ended in the waning seconds of the fourth quarter when he left a 55-yard attempt wide right and slightly short. It was a highly disappointing finish to the game, but it doesn't change Myers' fantasy value much. He has still hit 23 of 28 field-goal tries (82 percent) this season), although it's worth noting that he has made only three of six attempts from beyond 50 yards.

Jake Moody K | WAS
49ers' Jake Moody: Accounts for nine points
Moody went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on point-after tries in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Buccaneers.
Moody kept things rolling with his second perfect kicking performance with multiple field goals made in as many weeks. The rookie's season has mirrored that of his new club, as the Michigan product got off to a blazing start before hitting the skids mid-season. Just like the 49ers, Moody used the bye week as a reset and has since railed off two strong fantasy kicking lines. He will be shooting for a third when San Francisco heads north to face Seattle on Thursday Night Football in Week 12.

Eddy Pineiro K | SF
Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Makes both kicks
Pineiro made his only field-goal attempt and lone extra-point try in Sunday's 33-10 loss to the Cowboys.
Pineiro converted from 42 yards on his field goal. Through 10 games, he now sports 65 points, placing him outside the top 25 at his position league-wide.
