Brandon Aubrey K | DAL
Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Perfect in win over Jets
Aubrey connected on all five of his field-goal attempts and his only extra point in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.
The rookie kicker coolly drilled a 55-yard FG in the third quarter, with his other four field goals coming from 35 yards or less. After missing his very first NFL attempt in Week 1 on a PAT, Aubrey has been perfect since, and the Cowboys have supplied him with plenty of opportunities while outscoring the opposition 70-10 through two games. His fantasy value is rising quickly, and Aubrey could be busy again in Week 3 against the winless Cardinals.

Chad Ryland K | ARI
Patriots' Chad Ryland: Five points in Week 2
Ryland made his only field-goal attempt (from 49 yards) in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Dolphins.
Ryland also made both of his extra-point tries Sunday and now has a total of seven points through his first two games as a pro. As the season progresses there will be weeks where the 2023 fourth-rounder has more scoring opportunities, but for now Ryland is a speculative fantasy option.

Younghoe Koo K | NYG
Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Makes game-winning kick
Koo made one of his two extra-point tries and all four of his field-goal attempts during Sunday's 25-24 win over the Packers.
Koo made a 24-yard field goal in the first quarter to open the scoring, but he missed an extra-point attempt after a Drake London touchdown in the second quarter. The veteran kicker bounced back in a big way in the second half and connected on all three of his field-goal attempts, including a go-ahead 25-yarder with under a minute left in the game. Despite the missed PAT, Koo remains a consistent and effective kicker in reality and fantasy.

Joey Slye K | TEN
Commanders' Joey Slye: Rocky performance
Slye connected on all three of his extra-point tries, but he missed two of his four field-goal attempts in a 35-33 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
Syle missed wide right on his first FGA from 49 yards out on the team's opening drive. However, the 27-year-old recovered to connect from 44 and then from 49 yards to close out the first half. His last attempt and second miss came from 59 yards halfway through the third quarter with the game tied at 21. His next opportunities will come Week 3 against the Bills.

Anders Carlson K | NYJ
Packers' Anders Carlson: Logs six points in loss
Carlson made a 33-yard field goal and all three extra points he attempted in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Falcons.
Carlson fell a bit short of his Week 1 point total, both in the box score and in fantasy lineups, but he could have topped those marks had a penalty on Green Bay's opening drive not caused head coach Matt LaFleur to pass on a 56-yard field-goal attempt in favor of a punt. Carlson -- despite nailing a 52-yarder in Week 1 -- seemingly still has some trust to gain beyond 50 yards, but that should come with time, and he remains perfect two games into his rookie season.

Harrison Butker K | KC
Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Perfect once again
Butker made both of his extra-point tries and connected on his lone field-goal attempt in the Chiefs' 17-9 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Butker's 38-yard make came midway through the fourth quarter, padding the Chiefs lead to eight and making the score 17-9. The veteran kicker is now 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 4-for-4 on PATs this season. Next up for Butker is the Bears in Week 3.

Matt Gay K | SF
Colts' Matt Gay: Has productive day
Gay converted all four of his extra-point tries and hit a 42-yard field goal in Sunday's 31-20 win over the Texans.
Gay's field-goal attempt and make were his firsts on the season, while he remained perfect in PAT attempts, now at 7-for-7. He'll work to say perfect in Week 3 against the Ravens.

Austin Seibert K | WAS
Jets' Austin Seibert: Fills in for Zuerlein
Seibert made his only field-goal attempt from 34 yards and converted his lone PAT try in Sunday's 30-10 loss to Dallas.
Seibert didn't get many opportunities as the Zach Wilson-led Jets offense was stifled by Dallas' ferocious defense, but he made both of his kicks when called upon. The kicker signed to the Jets' practice squad and was elevated to the active roster Sunday with Greg Zuerlein (groin) unavailable. If Zuerlein sits out again in Week 3 against the Patriots, Seibert should continue to fill in.
-
Evan McPherson K | CIN
Bengals' Evan McPherson: Perfect in loss
McPherson connected on all three of his extra-point tries and his lone field-goal attempt in a 27-24 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
McPherson was good from 27 yards out in the second quarter to make him 2-for-3 on FGAs for the 2023 season after hitting from 42 but missing from 51 yards out Week 1 against the Browns. He'll look to be perfect again in Week 3 against the Rams.

Jason Sanders K | MIA
Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Costly mistakes in narrow win
Sanders converted one of three field-goal tries and all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday night's 24-17 win over the Patriots.
Sanders had a 49-yard attempt blocked in the third quarter, then missed wide left from 55 yards out late in the fourth quarter with a chance to essentially secure Miami's victory. Neither of Sanders' failed field-goal tries were easy attempts, of course. He will have a chance to get right Week 3 versus the Broncos.
