Andre Szmyt K | CLE
Browns' Andre Szmyt: Kickless in defeat
Szmyt did not attempt a field goal or a PAT in Sunday's 26-8 loss to the 49ers.
Szmyt went without a field-goal try for the first time this year, and he didn't garner an extra-point attempt for the first time since Week 6. The rookie will look to get back on track in Week 14 against the Titans, in what may be the Browns' most winnable remaining contest this season.

Charlie Smyth K | NO
Saints' Charlie Smyth: Promising NFL debut in loss
Smyth made his lone field-goal attempt in the Saints' 21-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
With Blake Grupe cut following a disastrous season, Smyth got the elevation from the practice squad over Cade York. Sunday marked Smyth's NFL debut, and he drilled a 56-yard field goal right down the middle with plenty of room to spare. Smyth was also successful with an onside kick in the fourth quarter to give the Saints the ball down by four points with 1:15 to play. New Orleans turned the ball over on downs after a five-play possession.

Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: No FGAs in loss
Carlson did not attempt a field goal and went 2-for-2 on PATs in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Chargers.
Carlson went without a field-goal try for the second time this season and first time since Week 7. The kicker has now been limited to one or zero field-goal attempts in four of the last six contests overall. Carlson will look to get back on track in a tough matchup against Denver in Week 14.

Ryan Fitzgerald K | CAR
Panthers' Ryan Fitzgerald: Perfect on five kicks in win
Fitzgerald converted his lone field-goal attempt and all four extra-point tries in Carolina's 31-28 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Fitzgerald was good from 33 yards in the second quarter, giving the Panthers a 17-14 lead. The rookie kicker has had an inconsistent first season, but he was a perfect five-for-five on his kicks against Los Angeles. On the season, Fitzgerald has made 19 of 23 field-goal tries and 20 of 23 extra-point attempts.

Joey Slye K | TEN
Titans' Joey Slye: Supplies only offense in loss
Slye converted his only field-goal try in Sunday's 25-3 loss to the Jaguars.
Slye supplied all the offense for Tennessee in a putrid effort, nailing a 28-yard field goal in the first quarter, briefly giving the team a 3-0 lead. The kicker's upside is limited by his team's inability to score a lot of points, and he's now gone 21-for-26 on field-goal tries, including 7-for-10 from 50-plus yards, over 11 contests this year.

Will Reichard K | MIN
Vikings' Will Reichard: Glued to sideline in shutout loss
Reichard didn't attempt a field goal in the Vikings' 26-0 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
Reichard showed up and handled one kickoff, collected his game check and hopped on the team flight home, as the Vikings mustered zero offense. On the season, Reichard has made 21 of 23 field-goal attempts and all 19 of his extra-point tries. In this horrendous Minnesota offense, Reichard is not a recommended fantasy kicker.

Chad Ryland K | ARI
Cardinals' Chad Ryland: Another missed FGA in Week 13
Ryland went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made both of his PATs in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Buccaneers.
Ryland was able to convert a 52-yard field goal as time expired in the first half, notching his first make from 50-plus yards since Week 4. The kicker did, however, push a 43-yard try wide right in the third quarter, missing a field-goal attempt for the third week in a row. The missed kick would come back to haunt the Cardinals in the three-point loss, and Ryland has now gone 18-for-23 on field-goal tries, including 4-for-6 from 50-plus yards, over 12 contests this year.

Matt Gay K | SF
49ers' Matt Gay: Perfect on four kicks in win
Gay converted both of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in the 49ers' 26-8 win over the Browns on Sunday.
Elevated from the practice squad for the second straight week after he was cut by the Commanders following Week 11, Gay is now a perfect four-for-four on field goals and four-for-four on extra points across two games with San Francisco. It's unclear if Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) will be ready to return to kicking duties when the Niners come out of their Week 14 bye.

Zane Gonzalez K | ATL
Falcons' Zane Gonzalez: Misses FGA in Week 13 loss
Gonzalez converted one of two field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries in the Falcons' 27-24 loss to the Jets on Sunday.
Gonzalez missed a 50-yard field-goal attempt wide right in the third quarter but hit one from 52 yards on the next drive. Through four games with the Falcons, Gonzalez has made seven of eight field goals and all nine of his PATs. In an offense now quarterbacked by Kirk Cousins with Drake London (knee) injured, Gonzalez isn't an exciting fantasy kicker.

Mike Badgley K | BUF
Colts' Michael Badgley: Converts only FGA in loss
Badgley made his only field-goal try and went 1-for-2 on PATs in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Texans.
Badgley was able to convert a 42-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, extending his streak to seven straight appearances with a field-goal make. The kicker did, however, miss his first extra-point try of the day, connecting with the left upright in the first quarter. The miss would come back to hurt Indianapolis late in the game, forcing the team to go for it on fourth-and-9 from Houston's 31 yard line with less than two minutes remaining in regulation, and ultimately the team turned the ball over on downs. Badgley has now gone 10-for-11 on field-goal attempts, including 2-for-3 from 50-plus yards, over seven contests with the Colts this year.
