Hopkins converted all four field-goal attempts and three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Colts in Week 7.

Hopkins has been a key performer during Cleveland's two-game winning streak, accounting for a combined 28 points in victories over San Francisco and Indianapolis. On Sunday, he nailed kicks from 44, 54, 54 and a career-long 58 yards. He also set an NFL record with five consecutive games in which he's made a field goal from beyond the 50.

McManus converted his only field-goal attempt and all four point-after tries in Thursday's 31-24 win at New Orleans.

McManus' only field-goal try came from 43 yards out, and he continued to demonstrate good accuracy at that range, knocking it through to extend Jacksonville's lead to two scores before the end of the first half. The Jaguars offense seems to have hit its stride, scoring 31.0 points per game over the last three contests, making McManus a high-floor fantasy option.

Gano (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus the Commanders, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Gano showed up on the Giants' injury report Wednesday with a knee injury, but it's evidently not severe enough to hold him out of game action in Week 7. He hasn't lacked opportunities in 2023, but he has struggled somewhat to convert on longer attempts through six games.

Grupe went 3-for-4 on field-goal attempts and 1-for-1 on point-after tries during Thursday's 31-24 loss to Jacksonville.

Grupe missed a 51-yard attempt on the Saints' first offensive drive, marking the second game in a row that he's missed a field goal after going 11-for-12 on field-goal tries over the first five weeks of the season. The undrafted rookie bounced back with three straight made field goals on attempts of 23, 35 and 42 yards over the remainder of Thursday night's loss. New Orleans' lack of touchdowns this season has yielded Grupe just 11 extra-point tries over the first seven games of the season. However, the team's lack of red-zone efficiency has contributed to the kicker's 20 field-goal attempts over this span. Grupe will look to get back to being perfect when New Orleans faces the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 29.

Gano was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a left knee injury, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

The injury is to Gano's non-kicking leg, and his ability to practice in any fashion to begin Week 7 prep is at least a positive sign for his chances of playing Sunday versus the Commanders. The Giants don't have another kicker on the 53-man roster or practice squad at the moment.

Patterson missed one of his three field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-6 win over the Buccaneers.

Patterson converted from 30 yards on his first field goal before missing wide right from 52 yards on his second. He rallied with a 36-yarder in the fourth, however, bringing his season point total to 42 through six outings.

Myers made both of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Bengals.

Myers converted from 55 and 23 yards on his field goals. The 32-year-old has now made a kick from at least 55 yards in six of his nine seasons as a pro. Through five contests this term, he sports 44 points.

Bass missed both of his field-goal tries while knocking in both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday night's 14-9 win over the Giants.

To be fair, the field-goal attempts were from 52 and 53 yards on a night where the wind was blowing with some decent force at times, but those are the types of kicks Bass has made throughout his career, and they almost proved costly when the Bills were forced to stop the Giants on the one-yard line to secure a tight win in a game they were heavy favorites. As for Bass, he gets a pass on this one. These were the first two field-goal tries he's missed all season, and the first time he's missed two field goals in a game since Week 11 of 2021. Bass falls into a tie for 10th in kicker scoring with 47 points after the poor outing.

Aubrey connected on both his field-goal attempts and both his PATs in Monday's 20-17 win over the Chargers.

The rookie kicker calmly drilled a 39-yard field goal with just over two minutes left in the fourth quarter to seal the victory for Dallas. Aubrey continues to be a revelation, with his only miss of the season coming on the very first extra-point attempt of his career in Week 1. Since then, the former USFL standout has booted 12 straight PATs and 16 straight FGs.

Dicker converted on his lone field-goal attempt and his two extra-point attempts in the 20-17 loss to the Cowboys on Monday.

The Chargers are one of the most aggressive teams in terms of going for fourth-downs, and the team's inefficiencies on offense coupled with the aggressive attitude has capped Dicker's fantasy value despite his consistency. Los Angeles should be poised for another positive offensive day in a Week 7 matchup against the Chiefs.
