  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Perfect yet again

    Dicker converted both of his field-goal attempts and extra-point tries in the 20-3 win over the Colts on Monday.

    Dicker continues to get simple chip shots when the offense struggles in the red zone, but with head coach Brandon Staley dialing back the aggression in recent weeks, the undrafted rookie free agent has been worthy of fantasy consideration. He's missed just one kick since taking over for injured starter Dustin Hopkins (hamstring).

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Struggles in nasty weather

    Bass missed his only field-goal attempt -- a 38-yarder -- and was 3-of-4 on extra-point tries in Saturday's win over the Bears.

    Bass has been locked in all season, as the field-goal miss was his first since Week 9, so this can probably be easily forgiven, though he and the Bills were clearly frustrated with either the kicking conditions or the kicking game, as they went for two points at one point when an extra-point try would have normally been the call. Nonetheless, the team and its kicker got their acts together in the second half, where Bass made three extra-point tries to finish up the day. Bass may not be done dealing with tricky conditions, as the Bills head to Cincinnati in Week 17 before finishing up at home against the Patriots.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Makes two field goals

    Elliott converted both of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point attempts in Saturday's 40-34 loss to the Cowboys.

    Elliott was perfect Saturday, converting field goals from 47 and 25 yards out. The 27-year-old kicker has now made 84 percent of his field-goal attempts this season. Elliott will look to build upon his solid performance when the Eagles host the Saints in Week 17.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Makes three field goals in win

    Tucker made three of four field-goal tries and did not attempt an extra point in Saturday's 17-9 win over the Falcons.

    Tucker connected on two field goals from 21 yards out and one from 27 yards. The 33-year-old's only miss was a 55-yarder that was blocked late in the first quarter. The veteran kicker remains a must-start heading into a Week 17 matchup with the Steelers.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Makes one field goal

    Butker connected on his lone field-goal attempt and made all three of his extra-point attempts in Saturday's win over the Seahawks.

    Butker's only field-goal attempt was good from 47 yards out late in the second quarter. The veteran kicker has now converted 77 percent of his field-goal attempts on the season, which is the lowest success rate of his career. Butker will look to be more efficient in Week 17 when the Chiefs host the Broncos.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Hits two kicks in loss

    Myers connected on a 22-yard field goal and an extra point in Saturday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs.

    Myers has now hit every kick in 10 straight games. He has just one miss on 28 field-goal attempts and one miss on 39 extra-point tries, and he has drilled all 10 kicks from beyond 40 yards. He'll face his old team, the Jets, at home in Week 17.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Rams' Matt Gay: Erupts with monster game

    Gay connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and converted all six of extra-point tries during Sunday's 51-14 victory against the Broncos.

    Fantasy managers that chose to rely on one of the NFL's most accurate kickers against the top defense in the league were rewarded handsomely, as Gay booted field goals of 55, 53 and 30 yards while adding a whopping six extra-point kicks. Baker Mayfield was able to pick apart the Broncos by relying heavily on his tight ends and Cam Akers, which gave Gay an abundance of opportunities to put up points. A much less intimidating defense is on tap for Week 17 in that of the Chargers, putting Gay back on the fantasy radar after a lengthy mid-season slump.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Scores seven points in win

    Fairbairn converted two of two field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point kick in Saturday's 19-14 win over the Titans in Week 16.

    Fairbairn finished off a couple of red-zone trips with chip shots and is a perfect 15-of-15 over the last nine games. He's also made all 21 of his extra-point kicks this season. If Houston can ever fix its offense, Fairbairn could be an elite kicker for fantasy teams.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Misses one field goal in loss

    Sanders converted two of three field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries during Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Packers.

    Sanders missed his first field goal since Week 9 in Sunday's disappointing loss, just one game after he went 3-for-3 on field goals in a narrow game against the Bills. On deck for Week 17 is a must-win divisional contest against the Patriots, and after Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) threw three interceptions against Green Bay, coach Mike McDaniel could trend towards more conservative playcalling.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Cardinals' Matt Prater: Busy in Week 16

    Prater went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made his only PAT try in Sunday's 19-16 overtime loss to the Buccaneers.

    Prater was busy for a second consecutive week Sunday, making a 56-yard field goal in the first quarter and a 53-yarder in the second quarter. He later added a third field goal from 39 yards in the fourth quarter while also recording a PAT in the final period of regulation. Prater has now attempted three field goals in three consecutive games, going 8-for-9 over that stretch, including four makes from over 50 yards. Arizona has a plus matchup in Week 17 against Atlanta, giving the kicker another opportunity to be heavily involved on New Year's Day.
