  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Bounces back with game-winning FG

    Gano made his only field-goal attempt and all four extra-point tries against the Cardinals in a Week 2 win Sunday.

    Gano, and the Giants as a whole, had a miserable Week 1, as the veteran kicker missed both of his field-goal tries and suffered an ankle injury to boot in the 40-0 loss against Dallas. However, Gano was able to recover in time to take the field Week 2 and looked to be back in form, drilling the game-winning field goal from 34 yards out with less than 20 seconds on the clock to cap a furious New York comeback. Despite his struggles in the season-opener, Gano has earned a reputation as one of the league's most reliable kickers after making 89 of 97 field-goal tries (including 20 of 25 from 50-plus yards) over the previous three campaigns.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Misses field goal in loss

    Fairbairn converted two of three field-goal attempts and both extra-point kicks in Sunday's 31-20 loss to the Colts in Week 2.

    Fairbairn made a couple of chip shots from 29 and 36 yards but was wide left from 51 yards with just over two minutes left in the game. Had he made the kick, Houston would have been down by one score with a chance to tie the game late. Still, it's hard to lay any blame on Fairbairn's leg. The defense was carved up by Gardner Minshew after Anthony Richardson ran for two touchdowns, before he was removed from the game due to a concussion. And the offense didn't get in gear until the fourth quarter. Fairbairn has three field-goal attempts in each of the first two contests.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Tough sledding

    Myers connected on one of three field-goal attempts and all four extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-31 overtime win versus the Lions.

    Myers missed kicks from 45 and 56 yards despite playing in the comfort of a dome. The 32-year-old has already missed three kicks this season, matching last year's total through just two games. He'll aim to get back on track at home versus the Panthers in Week 3.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Scores five points in loss

    Santos made his lone field-goal attempt in the Bears' 27-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Santos remains one of the most accurate kickers in the NFL, but his fantasy production remains inconsistent due to the Bears offense. Unless Chicago can begin to put more points on the scoreboard, Santos will struggle to crack the top-12 fantasy kickers.
