  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Another big outing

    Bass tallied 12 points in Sunday's 48-20 win over the Dolphins, making both of his field-goal tries and successfully making the extra point on all six of Buffalo's touchdowns.

    Bass has been flawless through four games, going 9-for-9 on field-goal attempts (including 3-for-3 from 50-plus) and making all 16 of his extra-point tries. Between his accurate leg and Buffalo's standing as the No. 2 scoring offense, he's a top-five kicker right now in almost any format. Bass currently sits fourth on the NFL scoring list with 43 points, behind only Dallas' Brandon Aubrey, Philadelphia's Jake Elliott and the Rams' Brett Maher.

  • Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Perfect on four kicks Sunday

    McLaughlin connected on field-goal attempts of 51 and 28 yards and also made both of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 26-9 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    McLaughlin's perfect showing is quickly becoming par for the course for the journeyman kicker, who's settled in nicely to his latest NFL home by making seven of his first eight field-goal attempts, including two over 50 yards, and all seven extra-point tries. The Buccaneers offense has scored touchdowns in the red zone at exactly a 50.0 percent rate through four games, so McLaughlin figures to continue seeing plenty a fair share of field-goal tries moving forward.

  • Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Perfect run continues

    Aubrey connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and all three of his PATs in Sunday's 38-3 rout of the Patriots.

    Since missing his very first attempt in the NFL, an extra point in the first quarter back in Week 1, Aubrey has been perfect. The former USFL kicker has drilled 13 straight FGs and nine straight PATs, and the Cowboys' penchant for generating points on defense as well as offense has kept Aubrey plenty busy. he may need to cash in every opportunity he gets in Week 5, in what should be a much more competitive contest against the undefeated 49ers.

  • Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Misses 52-yarder

    Zuerlein made one of two field-goal attempts and converted his only PAT try in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chiefs.

    Zuerlein's 52-yard field-goal attempt in the second quarter clanked off the upright and bounced away. That proved to be a consequential miss in a game the Jets ultimately lost by three points. Prior to the miss, Zuerlein converted a 31-yard attempt. He has made five of six field-goal attempts across three appearances this season.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Another double-digit week

    Fairbairn converted all three field-goal attempts and all three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 30-6 win over Pittsburgh in Week 4.

    That makes two consecutive weeks of double-digit scoring for Fairbairn, who scored 13 points in Week 3's win over the Jaguars. Houston's offense has showed spunk the last two weeks, scoring 67 points, which has made Fairbairn a legitimate fantasy asset. The 29-year-old has connected on 11 of 12 field-goal attempts and all nine extra-point kicks, and Fairbairn's 42 points rank fourth among kickers.

  • Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Nails lone FGA

    Hopkins converted his lone field-goal attempt in Sunday's 28-3 loss to the Ravens in Week 4.

    Hopkins drilled a 53-yarder in the first quarter for the Browns' only points in a disappointing loss. He's converted all three attempts from beyond the 50 and has been successful on eight of nine field-goal attempts overall through four weeks. Cleveland is off Week 5.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Again held without a field goal

    Sanders converted both of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Bills. He did not attempt a field goal.

    Sanders also didn't attempt a field goal during Week 3's 70-20 blowout win over the Broncos, though in that contest he converted 10 extra-point tries. The Dolphins' offense could be in line to return to a more normal game script Week 5 versus the Giants, so Sanders' amount of field-goal attempts could also stabilize.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Tallies four points

    Santos converted each of his four extra-point attempts in the Bears' 31-28 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

    On the season, Santos has four field goals and four extra points, giving him an average of four points per game. Unless the Chicago offense takes a substantial step forward, Santos may not have enough scoring opportunities to be a reliable fantasy option in most leagues.

  • Blake Grupe K | IND

    Saints' Blake Grupe: Nails all three field goals

    Grupe connected on 3-for-3 field-goal attempts during Sunday's 26-9 defeat versus the Buccaneers.

    Grupe kept New Orlean's struggling offense within one score of Tampa Bay for much of the game, hitting field goals of 37, 32 and 44 yards in the first, third and fourth quarters, respectively. Aside from a missed 46-yarder Week 3 versus Green Bay, the undrafted product out of Notre Dame has hit all 15 of his combined kicking attempts so far this rookie season. Grupe will look to remain very consistent versus New England in Week 5.

  • Lions' Riley Patterson: Converts two more field goals

    Patterson converted both of his field-goal attempts and four of four PATs during Thursday's 34-20 win over the Packers.

    While the Detroit offense put up four touchdowns for the second time in four games, Patterson at least did more than kick extra points in this contest thanks to a pair of sub-40-yard field-goal attempts. After entering the game tied for 27th in field-goal tries through three weeks, back-to-back showings with multiple attempts has Patterson's fantasy value trending in the right direction. Up next is a Week 5 matchup with a Carolina team that allowed the eighth-most points through three games.
