Jake Elliott K | PHI
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Rough day in loss
Elliott made one of two field-goal attempts and missed his only extra-point try during Friday's 24-15 loss versus the Bears.
Elliott made the longest field goal of the day (44 yards) early in the second quarter to open the scoring for Philadelphia, but he went cold afterwards, missing a PAT in the third quarter and a 52-yard attempt on the second-to-last play of the game. The Eagles' general dysfunction on offense keeps him from being a coveted fantasy asset with a Week 14 matchup against the Chargers on tap.

Cairo Santos K | CHI
Bears' Cairo Santos: Perfect in road win
Santos made his only field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries during Friday's 24-15 win at Philadelphia.
Santos wasn't asked to do much on a chilly November day against the Eagles, as his only field-goal try came from just 30 yards out. He remains perfect for the season on field goals from within 40 yards and on point-after attempts. The Bears will take on one of the league's best defenses in Green Bay in Week 14, likely putting a cap on his fantasy upside.

Lucas Havrisik: Back with Green Bay
The Packers signed Havrisik to the practice squad Friday.
Green Bay cut Havrisik on Wednesday, but he's returning to the organization as placekicker depth behind Brandon McManus.

Joshua Karty K | ARI
Joshua Karty: Cut by Los Angeles
The Rams waived Karty on Friday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
One of the few liabilities on the Rams' roster, Karty was a miserable 10-for-15 on field-goal attempts and 23-for-26 on extra points through eight games prior to being benched in favor of Harrison Mevis, who has gone a perfect 15-for-15 on his kicks through three games.

Evan McPherson K | CIN
Bengals' Evan McPherson: Massive stat line in Week 13 win
McPherson made all six of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Thursday night's 32-14 win over the Ravens.
McPherson accounted for Cincinnati's first 12 points, making kicks from 31, 42, 24 and 33 yards out to give the Bengals a 12-7 lead at halftime. He then kicked a pair of PATs before making kicks from 52 and 41 yards in the fourth quarter. Through 12 games this season, McPherson is 23-for-26 on field goals a perfect 27-of-27 on extra points.

Harrison Butker K | KC
Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Boots four extra points in loss
Butker made all four of his extra-point attempts during Kansas City's loss to the Cowboys on Thursday.
Butker didn't attempt any field goals for just the third time this season. The 30-year-old has been inconsistent so far this season, converting just 87.5 percent of his field-goal attempts and extra-point tries apiece.

Brandon Aubrey K | DAL
Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Perfect on Thanksgiving Day
Aubrey made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his point-after tries during the Cowboys' 31-28 win over the Chiefs on Thursday.
Aubrey connected on a 49-yard field goal early in the second quarter, but his big leg wasn't challenged during Thursday's win after adding two more field goals from 36 and 26 yards. It was his sixth game with two or more made field goals but his first since Week 7 against the Commanders. Aubrey's fantasy value will remain elevated for as long as the Cowboys' offense keeps humming, and the third-year kicker is now 22-for-24 on field-goal attempts and 37-for-38 on extra-point tries through 12 regular-season games.

Jake Bates K | DET
Lions' Jake Bates: Perfect in loss
Bates made all three of his point-after tries and converted his sole field-goal attempt in Thursday's 31-24 loss to the Packers.
Bates converted his only field goal, a 31-yarder, late in the fourth quarter, cutting the Lions' deficit a touchdown at the time. Bates was also perfect on all three extra-point attempts and is now 16-for-20 on field goals and 40-for-42 on PATs through 12 games this season.
