49ers' Jake Moody: Scores 10 points in blowout win
Moody went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 4-for-4 on point-after tries in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Jaguars.
San Francisco received a much-needed boost from Deebo Samuel's (shoulder) return from injury over the Week 9 bye. The flurry of scoring resulted in the rookie leg's first game with double-digit points since Week 3. With the 49ers returning to form on offense Sunday, Moody can also return to being a viable fantasy option against the Buccaneers in Week 11.

Matt Gay K | SF
Colts' Matt Gay: Makes one of two
Gay connected on his only extra-point attempt and made one of his two field-goal tries in the Colts' 10-6 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
Both of Gay's attempts were from long distance, and although he was short from 57 yards out, he was successful on a 50-yard attempt. With Indianapolis on a Week 11 bye, fantasy managers will need to find a replacement before Gay is back on the field in Week 12 against the Buccaneers.

Evan McPherson K | CIN
Bengals' Evan McPherson: Perfect in loss
McPherson made both of his field-goal tries and all three extra-point attempts in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Texans.
McPherson made a game-tying 31-yard field goal with less than two minutes left in the game, but he never got an opportunity to get the Bengals the win from there. He also connected from 50 yards out in the third quarter, which helped close the gap on the Texans' 13-point lead at the time. McPherson may see fewer opportunities during a Week 11 Thursday night matchup against the typically tough Ravens defense.

Greg Joseph K | LV
Vikings' Greg Joseph: Puts two through the uprights
Joseph made of two of three field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Saints.
Joseph has been busy after only seeing two FGAs in the team's first four contests and now has three or more in the team's last five games. Unfortunately, the Florida Atlantic product was unable to connect from 54 yards out early in the fourth quarter Sunday, but he did convert from 40 yards on the team's opening drive and again from 33 yards on Minnesota's first possession of the second half. Next up for Joseph is a trip to Denver for a matchup with the Broncos in Week 11.

Chad Ryland K | ARI
Patriots' Chad Ryland: Makes two field goals Sunday
Ryland made two of his three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 10-6 loss to the Colts.
Ryland's successful tries Sunday were from 37 and 24 yards, while his miss came from 35 yards out. As the Patriots head into their bye week, Ryland has made 12 of his 17 field-goal attempts through 10 games while having recorded 49 points in that span. Given that he's kicking behind an inconsistent offense, Ryland's fantasy upside appears modest ahead of his team's Nov. 26 contest against the Giants.

Anders Carlson K | NYJ
Packers' Anders Carlson: Tacks on two field goals
Carlson made two field goals and one of two extra-point attempts in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Steelers.
Carlson -- as a result of a block -- did not convert a PAT try for the first time as a professional, but he did make multiple field goals for the fourth time in six games. Although he is putting three points on the board more frequently, he is not giving fantasy players that extra boost, as he has not made an attempt from longer than 37 yards since late September.

Brandon Aubrey K | DAL
Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Only needed for PATs
Aubrey connected on all seven of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 49-17 rout of the Giants.
The rookie kicker has now converted an incredible 45 straight attempts including both PATs and field goals, with his only career miss coming on his very first extra-point attempt back in Week 1. The Cowboys' offensive efficiency against an overmatched Giants team Sunday prevented Aubrey from really cashing in from a fantasy perspective, however, and he's only seen three FG attempts total over the last three games -- although he does have 14 PATs over that span. That makes him a better floor option than ceiling play heading into a Week 11 clash with the Panthers.

Matt Ammendola K | HOU
Texans' Matt Ammendola: No issues replacing Fairbairn
Ammendola converted three of three field-goal attempts and all three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Bengals in Week 10.
Ammendola was added to the active roster after Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) landed on injured reserve, and the kicking game didn't miss a beat. Regardless of which kicker is active, Houston's offense sets up kickers to succeed. The Texans rank sixth in the NFL with 23 field-goal attempts, and the kickers have converted 22.

Jason Myers K | SEA
Seahawks' Jason Myers: Knocks home seven kicks
Myers connected on all five field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 29-26 win over the Commanders.
Four of Myers' field goals came from beyond 40 yards, including the 43-yard, game-winning kick as time expired to send the Seahawks to 6-3 on the season. This is the second time this season that Myers hit five field goals in a game. The 32-year-old has now hit 20 of 24 field goals (83 percent) -- the fifth most in the league -- while making all 18 extra-point tries.

Dustin Hopkins K | CLE
Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Overcomes missed XP
Hopkins successfully converted four of four field-goal attempts and one of two extra-point kicks in Sundays' 33-31 win over the Ravens in Week 10.
As the Browns rallied in the second half, Hopkins missed extra-point loomed large, as the Ravens clung to a one-point lead midway through the fourth quarter. However, the placekicker made up for the miss with a 40-yard field goal as time expired to complete the comeback win. The missed extra point, his first of the season, could have hurt, but Hopkins has been vital to the team's success in 2023. Sunday's effort was the third time in the last five weeks he's made at least four field goals -- Cleveland's won all three of this game. For the season, Hopkins is 24-of-27 on field goals, including a perfect 7-of-7 from beyond the 50, and leads all kickers with 86 points.
