Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Nails two field goals Sunday
Carlson converted both of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Dolphins.
Carlson has been automatic on each of his last eight field-goal attempts throughout the Raiders' past three contests, notching 29 total points during this recent stretch. However, a difficult matchup against the stingy Chiefs defense awaits Las Vegas in Week 12.

Greg Joseph K | LV
Vikings' Greg Joseph: Perfect in loss
Joseph made both of his field-goal tries and extra-point attempts in Sunday's 21-20 loss to the Broncos.
Joseph made his first field goal from 34 yards in the second quarter to give the Vikings a 10-3 lead and then followed with a successful 30-yard attempt to extend their advantage to 20-15 with 3:20 remaining. Joseph has now converted on 17 of 22 FGAs this season, with his next opportunities coming in Week 12 against the Bears.

Joey Slye K | TEN
Commanders' Joey Slye: Makes two field goals in loss
Slye was able to connect on both of his field-goal tries but converted just one of two extra-point attempts in Sunday's 31-19 loss to the Giants.
Slye missed a PAT attempt for the second week in a row, although he remained perfect for the fourth straight week on FGAs. The Virginia Tech product was good from 23 yards in the first quarter, then was successful again from 42 yards in the third quarter. Next up for Slye and the Commanders is a Thanksgiving Day divisional matchup with the Cowboys.

Brandon McManus K | GB
Jaguars' Brandon McManus: Perfect on six kicks
McManus made both his field-goal attempts and all four PATs during Sunday's 34-14 win against the Titans.
The veteran kicker converted field goals from 25 and 30 yards during the second quarter and remains perfect on extra points this season. McManus is 20-for-22 on field-goal attempts this season, with both misses coming against the Texans in Week 3.

Brandon Aubrey K | DAL
Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Rare miss in Sunday's win
Aubrey connected on both his field-goal attempts and three of four extra-point tries in Sunday's 33-10 win over the Panthers.
The missed PAT was his first unsuccessful kick of any kind since Week 1, but Aubrey remains a perfect 21-for-21 on FG attempts, extending his career-opening NFL record. The rookie placekicker figures to be busy Thanksgiving in an NFC East divisional battle with a Commanders team that just gave up 31 points to the woeful Giants.

Jason Sanders K | MIA
Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Misses one kick in win over Raiders
Sanders converted two of three field-goal attempts and both his extra-point tries during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Raiders.
Sanders missed his first field-goal try since Week 2, a 50-yarder, in Sunday's one-score win, but he also converted one FGA from 51 yards out. The veteran has historically struggled from that distance, but he's otherwise ranked among the NFL's most accurate kickers. He could see more field-goal opportunities than usual during Sunday's divisional matchup against the Jets, a team that thrives on creating low-scoring affairs -- New York's defense has held opponents below 20 points on six occasions this season.

Tyler Bass K | BUF
Bills' Tyler Bass: Breaks through as offense recovers
Bass made all four field-goal attempts (48, 30, 33, 50) and two of three extra-point tries in Sunday's 32-6 win over the Jets.
The 14 points is a new season high for Bass, and it exceeds his previous three outings combined, where he posted 12 total points as the Bills offense sputtered, to the point where offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey was fired prior to Sunday's game. We'll see if the team's potentially elite offense has found another gear or if it was just a one-week boost, though it's worth noting Buffalo's schedule is brutal -- the Bills finish with games at Philadelphia, at Kansas City, Dallas, at the Chargers, New England and at Miami.

Greg Zuerlein K | NYJ
Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Zero attempts in Week 11
Zuerlein didn't attempt a field goal or PAT in Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Bills.
After accounting for all of the Jets' points over the previous two games with six field goals, Zuerlein didn't get off the bench in the team's Week 11 loss. New York's lone touchdown reduced the deficit to 16-6 in the second quarter, so the Jets went for two in hopes of making it a one-possession game. Zuerlein will hope to be busier when the Jets return home in Week 12 to host the Dolphins.

Chris Boswell K | PIT
Steelers' Chris Boswell: Limited work against Cleveland
Boswell converted his lone field-goal attempt while making his lone extra-point try during the Steelers' 13-10 loss to the Browns on Sunday.
Although Boswell was perfect once again during Sunday's matchup, he didn't have many opportunities to contribute during the low-scoring matchup. The 32-year-old's accuracy hasn't been a concern over the first half of the 2023 campaign, with his main limitation coming from his relative lack of opportunities.

Anders Carlson K | NYJ
Packers' Anders Carlson: Kicking woes continue
Carlson made one of two field-goal attempts and two of three extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-20 victory over the Chargers.
The rookie did not miss a kick over his first five games in the NFL, but he has now missed at least one attempt in four of five appearances. There has been no indication that Green Bay is considering changing kickers, but those who still have Carlson on their fantasy teams may want to, particularly with the Packers facing two teams -- the Lions and Chiefs -- in the next two weeks that have proven adept at limiting kicker production.
