Eddy Pineiro K | SF
Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Makes long kick
Pineiro made both of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.
Pineiro converted from 26 and 56 yards on his field goals, continuing his strong start to the season. Through four games, he sports 29 points, including at least seven in three straight outings.

Justin Tucker K | BAL
Ravens' Justin Tucker: No FG attempts
Tucker did not attempt a field goal but made all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 28-3 win over the Browns.
Tucker's production has been lower than usual so far this season, as he's totaled only 23 points through four games. That mark currently places him 26th among kickers in scoring.

Matt Prater K | BUF
Cardinals' Matt Prater: Makes both kicks
Prater made his only field-goal attempt as well as his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 35-16 loss to the 49ers.
Prater converted from 38 yards on his field goal. Through four games, he's missed only one of 15 total attempts, compiling 32 points.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Broncos' Wil Lutz: Remains perfect on kicks
Lutz made his only field-goal attempt while converting all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Bears.
Lutz continued his perfect streak on kicks that began in Week 2, nailing a 51-yard game-winning field goal late in the fourth quarter. With the Broncos' offense beginning to find itself under coach Sean Payton, it's possible that the veteran kicker may continue to find himself in scoring position more often going forward. Lutz will look to keep his perfect streak going when the Broncos host the Jets in Week 5.

Cameron Dicker K | LAC
Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Automatic yet again
Dicker connected on his lone field-goal attempt and also made all three of his extra-point attempts in the 24-17 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
It was a pretty typical game for Dicker, who continues to be near automatic when it comes to field goals within 50 yards. The second-year starter has yet to miss a kick under 50 yards in his NFL career and is situated in an offense that is well-regarded as one of the best in the league.

Graham Gano K | NYG
Giants' Graham Gano: Converts only field-goal try
Gano drilled his only field-goal attempt from 55 yards and didn't try any extra points in a Week 4 loss to the Seahawks on Monday Night Football.
Gano was perhaps the only bright spot in a dreary performance by New York's offense, as he hit from 55 yards out late in the second quarter. It was the veteran kicker's second make from over 50 yards this season -- he converted from 57 yards against San Francisco last week. Gano has rebounded from missing all three of his kicks Week 1 to go 4-for-4 on field-goal tries and 4-for-4 on extra-point attempts over three weeks since, but that volume isn't great from a fantasy perspective. His big leg and accuracy will only go so far unless the Giants offense is able to wake up from an early-season slumber.

Jake Elliott K | PHI
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Kicks 54-yard overtime winner
Elliott kicked a 54-yard game winner in overtime against Washington on Sunday, one of six kicks (four field goals and two extra points) he made on the day.
The Eagles could only get nine of the 17 yards they needed on a third down just inside midfield, but they trusted Elliott to convert from beyond 50 yards, something he'd done on three of four attempts over the first three games. The kick improved Philadelphia to 4-0 on the year and marked the second time Elliott has made four field goals this season.

Nick Folk K | ATL
Titans' Nick Folk: Another perfect showing
Folk made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Bengals.
Folk had one of his busier days as a Titan and he continued to pile up perfect performances. He found the range from 53 and 35 yards and is now 5-for-5 on attempts from 40 yards or deeper on the season. After Tennessee struggled to find a kicker throughout the offseason and training camp, Folk has cemented his status with the team.

Brandon McManus K | GB
Jaguars' Brandon McManus: Makes three FGs in win
McManus went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on PATs during Sunday's 23-7 win against the Falcons.
McManus missed two field goals Week 3 but rebounded Sunday in London by converting kicks from 38, 43 and 56 yards. The 32-year-old attempted just one field goal during the season opener but has three attempts in each of the past three games, which should provide a decent fantasy floor despite the underwhelming start to the season from Jacksonville's offense.

Jake Moody K | WAS
49ers' Jake Moody: Hits five PATs
Moody did not attempt a field goal and converted all five of his point-after tries in Sunday's 35-16 win over the Cardinals.
The 49ers' offense did not falter in the red zone Sunday, leaving little work for Moody in a comfortable win. The third-round rookie was fresh off of three straight 12-point performances, so this feels like a down fantasy game through no fault of his own. Moody will attempt to maintain his perfect kicking percentage when the 49ers face the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in Week 5.
