Ka'imi Fairbairn K | HOU
Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Logs lone points in loss
Fairbairn converted his lone field-goal attempt in Sunday's 31-3 loss to Jacksonville in Week 17.
Fairbairn's 56-yard field goal in the third quarter prevented Houston from being shut out. The veteran placekicker has bounced back from an injury-marred 2021 to make 93 percent (28 of 30) of his FGAs, including all six from 50 and beyond.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Saints' Wil Lutz: Nails 54-yarder in win
Lutz went 2-for-2 field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries during Sunday's 20-10 victory over Philadelphia.
Lutz split the uprights on a 54-yard attempt to put the Saints up 10-0 midway through the second quarter. This marked the 28-year-old's first attempt of 50 yards or more since Week 5, and he's now gone 4-for-5 on such attempts this season. Lutz will enter the final week of the 2022 campaign converting a career-low 79 percent of his 29 field-goal attempts, though he's been perfect on all 32 of his extra-point tries over 16 games.

Cade York K | NO
Browns' Cade York: Makes all kicks
York converted his lone field-goal attempt and all three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 24-10 win over Washington in Week 17.
York gave the Browns a 3-0 first-quarter lead when he buried a 37-yarder. Later in the quarter, he booted a chip shot from 25 yards, but Washington was offside on the play. That prompted head head coach Kevin Stefanski to bring the offense back to go for it on 4th-and goal from the 3-yard line, but Washington stopped them on downs.

Graham Gano K | NYG
Giants' Graham Gano: Perfect in big Week 17 win
Gano converted his lone field-goal try and all five of his extra-point attempts Sunday in the Giants' 38-10 victory versus Indianapolis.
Gano wasn't challenged much in the blowout win, as his lone field-goal try came from 36 yards out. Still, the veteran came through on that attempt as well as on all five of his extra-point tries to help the Giants earn a playoff-clinching victory. Over the past three weeks, Gano has converted all six of his field-goal tries and eight of his extra-point attempts.

Mike Badgley K | BUF
Lions' Michael Badgley: Totals 11 points
Badgley converted two of two field-goal attempts and five of five PATs during Sunday's 41-10 win over the Bears.
Following three consecutive weeks with at least three field-goal tries, Badgley has attempted just three over his past two games combined. At least he was fed a healthy amount of PATs this time around to buoy his fantasy output. Next up for Badgley is a Week 18 matchup with a beatable Packers defense within the outdoor confines of Lambeau Field.

Chase McLaughlin K | TB
Colts' Chase McLaughlin: Makes lone kick in loss
McLaughlin connected on his lone field-goal attempt during Monday's 20-3 loss to the Chargers.
McLaughlin put the Colts on the board with a 46-yard field goal in the second quarter, cutting the Chargers' lead to 7-3. However, he didn't get any more opportunities after that, as Indianapolis' offense couldn't generate any consistency with Nick Foles at the helm. Across 14 games, McLaughlin has connected on 28 of 33 field-goal attempts and all 16 of his PATs.

Brandon McManus K | GB
Broncos' Brandon McManus: Makes two field goals
McManus made both of his field-goal tries and did not attempt an extra point in Sunday's 51-14 loss to the Rams.
McManus converted from 55 and 49 yards out in the contest on a day when the Broncos' offense struggled. Through 15 games, the veteran kicker has now made 26 of his 34 field-goal attempts this season. McManus could see more opportunities in scoring range in a Week 17 matchup with the Chiefs, as the two teams combined for 62 total points in Week 14.

Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Makes one field goal
Carlson made his only field-goal attempt and converted his lone extra-point try in Saturday's 13-10 loss to the Steelers.
Carlson had a quiet day as the Raiders struggled to move the ball on offense. The veteran kicker has now made 30 field goals this season, tied for the third-most of all kickers. Despite his minimal involvement against the Steelers, Carlson remains worthy of consideration heading into a Week 17 matchup with the 49ers.
