  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Converts both chances Sunday

    Tucker converted a 23-yard field goal and an extra point in Sunday's loss to the Steelers.

    Tucker's chances were limited Sunday due in part to the offense failing to sustain drives into Steeler territory. There was also a game management gaffe that cost Tucker an opportunity to kick a field goal at the end of the first half. On the year, Tucker is 5-for-7 on field goals and has converted all 12 of his extra-point attempts.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Three more field goals in Week 5

    Elliott went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on extra points in Sunday's 23-14 win over the Rams.

    Elliott didn't have a particularly difficult day, converting one 34-yard attempt and a pair of 26-yarders. The fact that he was yet again asked to attempt at least three field goals is significant, however. He's done so in all five games this season after attempting more than two field goals just once in the entirety of last season. That's a byproduct of the Eagles falling from No. 3 to No. 27 in red-zone touchdown percentage this season, and if that inefficiency persists, it will be to the benefit of Elliott's fantasy managers.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Nails only field-goal try

    Sanders converted his lone field-goal attempt and all four extra-point tries during the Dolphins' 31-16 win over the Giants on Sunday.

    Sanders continues to benefit from Miami's high-flying offense, with his only missed extra-point attempt having come back in Week 1. The reliable kicker could again be in line for significant PAT opportunities Week 6 against Carolina, though it's worth noting he's only attempted one field goal in his last three appearances.

  • Brett Maher K | LAR

    Rams' Brett Maher: Doesn't attempt a field goal

    Maher converted both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 23-14 loss to the Eagles.

    The veteran kicker was looking for redemption after a shaky start in Week 4, and while he nailed both of his PAT tries in the first half, the Rams offense sputtered after that and Maher never got a chance to score in the second half. The fifth-year pro is a perfect 10-for-10 on PATs on the year and 12-for-16 on field goals, with all four misses coming from 40-plus yards. Week 6 should provide Maher with ample opportunity to produce and solidify his perhaps shaky grasp on the kicking job for the Rams against a porous Cardinals defense.

  • Jaguars' Brandon McManus: Makes FG, two PATs in win

    McManus converted his lone field-goal attempt and both PATs during Sunday's 25-20 win over the Bills.

    Jacksonville successfully converted a two-point conversion after opening the scoring with a touchdown in the first quarter, so McManus lost out on an extra point. The veteran kicker was successful from 44 yards and is now 9-for-11 on field goals and 10-for-10 on PATs through the first five games of 2023. A divisional matchup with the Colts awaits in Week 6.

  • Chad Ryland K | ARI

    Patriots' Chad Ryland: Misses lone attempt Sunday

    Ryland missed his only field-goal attempt in Sunday's 34-0 loss to the Saints.

    Following his miss from 48-yards Sunday, Ryland is now 4-of-8 on field-goal attempts through his first five NFL games. Though the 2023 fourth-rounder isn't in danger of losing his job as the Patriots kicker, he'll profile as a low-percentage fantasy option until both his accuracy and the team's offense show signs of improvement.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Remains perfect

    Butker made each of his field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries in the Chiefs' 27-20 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

    Butker has yet to miss this season, and Sunday, he hit field goals from 38 and 40 yards out. He's now 10-for-10 on the season and is one of 12 kickers who have yet to miss any kicks this season. The Georgia Tech product will be back on the field Thursday night for a Week 6 divisional clash against the Broncos.

  • Greg Joseph K | LV

    Vikings' Greg Joseph: Connects on all atempts

    Joseph made both of his field-goal attempts and extra-point tries in the Vikings' 27-20 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Joseph had only attempted two field goals all season coming into the day, but fortunately for fantasy managers, he saw more action in Week 5 and came through when called upon. The Florida Atlantic product made his first kick from 40 yards out and then followed up with another from 29 yards, making him 4-for-4 on attempts this season. He also remained perfect on PATs, connecting on both to give him a perfect 14-for-14 on the showing for the season in that category. Next up for Joseph and the Vikings is a divisional matchup with the Bears.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Stays perfect in Week 5

    Boswell converted all three of his field-goal attempts during the Steelers' 17-10 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

    The Steelers' offense largely struggled once again Sunday, but Boswell put the team on the board in the second quarter by making a 43-yard field-goal, and he also drilled two field-goal attempts in the fourth quarter. Boswell had to win a kicking competition in the preseason to retain his job after making just 71.4 percent of his field-goal attempts last year. However, heading into the Steelers' Week 6 bye, he's converted all 10 of his field-goal attempts while making all five of his extra-point tries this season.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Colts' Matt Gay: Strong showing in win

    Gay connected on all three field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Titans.

    A week after missing his only FGA, Gay was able to connect from 43, 35 and 28 yards out in a perfect 3-for-3 performance. He's now 9-of-10 on the season heading into a matchup with the Jaguars in Week 6.
