  • 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.

  • Rams' Lucas Havrisik: Hits go-ahead FG in victory

    Havrisik connected on a 22-yard field goal and made both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 17-16 victory against the Seahawks.

    The young kicker wasn't asked to do much through most of the game, as the Rams struggled to produce on offense against Seattle. However, Havrisik was called upon late to hit a chip-shot field goal, and his 22-yard make provided what turned out to be the game-winning points after Seattle kicker Jason Myers missed a 55-yard attempt with eight seconds left. Up next for Havrisik is a Week 12 showdown in Arizona against Kyler Murray and the Cardinals.

  • Texans' Matt Ammendola: Misses lone FGA

    Ammendola missed his lone field-goal attempt and converted all three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 21-16 win over the Cardinals in Week 11.

    Ammendola was wide left from 48 yards out in the third quarter, his first miss in four tries since becoming the fill-in placekicker for Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps). There were other potential scoring opportunities, but quarterback C.J. Stroud threw two red-zone interceptions in the second half. The Texans are tied for fourth in the NFL with 24 field-goal attempts, so there's potential fantasy value to starting Ammendola. The kicking duties figure to remain his at through Week 13, at minimum.

  • Browns' Dustin Hopkins: No flaws in win

    Hopkins converted two of two field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 13-10 win over Pittsburgh in Week 11.

    The Browns have been getting by without starting quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) with elite defense and Hopkins' leg. That same script played out once again Sunday. Hopkins calmly drilled a 34-yard field goal with two ticks left on the clock to secure Cleveland's seventh win, the second straight week he's delivered the game-winning score in the final moments. Hopkins leads the NFL with 29 field-goal attempts and 26 makes. He's benefitted from the Browns relying on backup quarterbacks that are less proficient at finishing drives than Watson, who is done for the season.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Posts 14 points losing effort

    Santos connected on all four of his field-goal attempts in the Bears' 31-26 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Although Santos has three games in which he's converted at least three field goals, he has one or fewer field goals in six other contests. His occasional ceiling games come along with too many poor performances to trust him as a weekly fantasy option.

  • Giants' Randy Bullock: Nails only FG attempt in win

    Bullock made his only field-goal try and all four of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's Week 11 31-19 victory over Washington.

    Bullock converted from 36 yards out midway through the fourth quarter for his second made field goal in as many attempts this season. New York surprisingly put up a hefty amount of points in the win, which allowed Bullock to pad his scoring total with four extra-points. The veteran hasn't been challenged with any long or pressure-packed kicks in his three games since taking over for Graham Gano (knee), but he also hasn't done anything negative to give New York reason to go in another direction.

  • Cade York K | NYJ

    Giants' Cade York: Healthy scratch again

    York (coach's decision) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    The 22-year-old had a chance to win the kicking job in New York after Graham Gano (knee) was placed on injured reserve, but it seems as if he's lost the competition, with Randy Bullock assuming the team's kicking duties. York has yet to appear in an NFL game since signing with the Giants' in early November.

  • Texans' Matt Ammendola: Signs with active roster

    The Texans signed Ammendola to their active roster Saturday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    As expected, Ammendola will operate as Houston's kicker in Week 11 after signing with the team's active roster Saturday. The 26-year-old had no problems stepping in for the injured Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) last week, as he converted on all six of his attempted kicks (three field goals and three extra points).

  • Giants' Randy Bullock: Set to kick again Week 11

    The Giants elevated Bullock from their practice squad Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Bullock has served as New York's kicker over the past two weeks, with Graham Gano (knee) on injured reserve. He didn't get to attempt any field goals in his first contest, but Bullock connected on his only try -- a 40-yarder -- last week against Dallas. Given the struggles of the Giants' offense, Bullock isn't a particularly appealing option for fantasy managers ahead of Sunday's game versus Washington.

  • Bengals' Evan McPherson: Misses field goal Thursday

    McPherson converted one of his two field-goal attempts and both of his two extra-point tries in Thursday's 34-20 loss at Baltimore.

    In an otherwise mistake-free game for McPherson, he was unable to send home a 53-yard attempt on the first play of the second quarter that would have cut the Ravens' lead to 7-6. He still hasn't missed from 49 yards or fewer in 2023, but another long miss in Week 11 sent his conversion rate on kicks of 50-plus yards down to 60 percent for the season. With Joe Burrow (wrist) set to miss the rest of the campaign, fantasy prospects for Cincinnati's entire offense and McPherson take a huge ding going into the home stretch.
