  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Sidelined due to back spasms

    Butker didn't practice Wednesday due to back spasms.

    Butker wasn't listed on the injury report Tuesday, but his addition Wednesday suddenly clouds his availability for Saturday's game against the Raiders. Kansas City currently doesn't have another kicker on its 53-man roster or practice squad, but Matthew Wright, who saw action with the Chiefs earlier in the season, remains a free agent after being let go by Pittsburgh.

  • Brett Maher K | LAR

    Cowboys' Brett Maher: Makes all kicks

    Maher made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Week 17's 27-13 win over the Titans.

    Maher converted field goals from 36 and 45 yards, helping him accumulate nine points. His total of 137 points on the season currently leads all kickers with one week remaining.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Rounds back into form Sunday

    Tucker connected on both of his field-goal attempts Sunday against the Steelers and converted his lone extra-point attempt.

    Tucker had gone through an uncharacteristic stretch in which he missed three total field goals in his previous two games before rounding back into form against the Steelers. He enters the final week of the season with the second-most fantasy points among kickers and is tied for third in the league in made 50-yard attempts with eight such kicks. The Ravens travel to Cincinnati for the regular season finale.

  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Still perfect from field

    Dicker made all four of his extra-point attempts and his lone field-goal try in the 31-10 win over the Rams.

    Dicker continues to be excellent, as he's missed just one kick since taking over as the starter back in Week 9. The undrafted rookie doesn't get many field-goal opportunities, but when he does, he's been relatively automatic, especially from shorter distances.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Good from 56 yards

    Elliott converted his only field-goal attempt and his only extra point in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Saints.

    In previous weeks, Elliott's fantasy value had been muted by the fact that the Eagles kept finding the end zone rather than stalling and attempting a kick. This time around, his value was muted by the fact that the Philadelphia offense had a rare off day. It wasn't all bad for the kicker, however, as he did set a season high by converting from 56 yards.

  • Broncos' Brandon McManus: Makes one field goal in loss

    McManus made his only field-goal attempt and made all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs.

    McManus was perfect Sunday and accounted for six of the Broncos' 24 points in the contest. The veteran kicker connected on his lone field-goal attempt from 49 yards out, and he has now made 27 of his 35 field-goal tries this season. McManus will look to finish the campaign with another solid performance in a Week 18 matchup with the Chargers.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Slow night in kicking game

    Butker missed his only field goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 27-24 win over the Broncos.

    The Broncos' defense is a challenging fantasy matchup, which played a hand in Butker's relatively slow night in the kicking game. He hasn't quite converted in the kicking game at the same rate he has in every year prior, missing at a higher rate from both inside 50 yards and beyond than he has in any year prior. Butker's fantasy output has been relatively mediocre as a result, but he should remain a popular option as long as he is part of a Chiefs team led by Patrick Mahomes under center.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Misses first kick since Week 5

    Myers connected on three of four field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-6 win over the Jets.

    Myers hit all 10 of his field-goal tries from beyond 40 yards this season before missing a 41-yarder in the win over the Jets. The 31-year-old has been excellent this season, hitting 30 of 32 field-goal tries (94 percent) and 40 of 41 extra-point attempts (98 percent). He'll look to finish the regular season strong versus the Rams in Week 18.

  • Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Makes all kicks

    Pineiro made his only field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Pineiro converted from 49 yards on his only field goal. Although he went a sixth straight game without missing, Sunday's total of six points marked Pineiro's lowest since Week 11.

  • Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Another lengthy miss in Week 17

    Zuerlein made two of three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Seahawks.

    Zuerlein capped consecutive first-half drives with 44-yard field goals, but he failed to convert from 57 yards out on the opening possession of the second half with New York looking to make it a one-score game. The banged-up Jets' offensive struggles have limited Zuerlein's opportunities in recent weeks, and New York has been eliminated from playoff contention heading into the regular-season finale against the Dolphins.
