  • Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Makes only FGA in Week 16

    Zuerlein made a 37-yard field goal in Thursday's 19-3 loss to the Jaguars.

    Zuerlein accounted for all the offense for New York in Thursday's contest, nailing his only field-goal attempt in the first quarter, giving the Jets an early 3-0 lead. The kicker has now gone 26-for-31 on field goals this season while making all eight tries he's had from less than 40 yards.

    Vikings' Greg Joseph: Makes game-winning kick

    Joseph made his only field-goal attempt and all four of his extra-point tries in Week 15's 39-36 overtime win over the Colts.

    Joseph made a 40-yarder to seal the largest comeback victory in NFL history. With three games remaining, he sports 93 points on the campaign.

  • Colts' Chase McLaughlin: Big game in loss

    McLaughlin made all five of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Week 15's 39-36 overtime loss to the Vikings.

    McLaughlin nailed field goals from 26, 28, 49, 27 and 52 yards, helping him rack up a season-high 18 points. With three games remaining this term, McLaughlin sports 97 points, ranking just outside the top 10 league-wide at his position.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Rough afternoon in loss

    Tucker went 1-for-3 on field-goal tries and did not attempt an extra point in Saturday's 13-3 loss to the Browns.

    Tucker knocked down his first field-goal attempt from 53 yards out, but he uncharacteristically missed his next kick from 48 yards and had his final try, a 50-yarder, blocked. Despite the atypical outing this past weekend, the 33-year-old remains a must-start option in Week 16 when Baltimore hosts the Falcons on Saturday.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Misfires twice Sunday

    Butker connected on 1-for-2 field-goal attempts and 1-for-2 point-after tries during Sunday's 30-24 overtime win over the Texans.

    Butker had missed just one kick over the previous four games, so Sunday's showing was a bit disappointing, especially for fantasy teams hoping for a significant playoff effort from him. For those still forging on, Butker and the Chiefs have a good matchup for an offensive explosion next week against a Seattle defense yielding the fourth-most points per game (25.4) this season.

    Rams' Matt Gay: Misses first extra point of season

    Gay connected on both of his field-goal attempts and failed to convert his only extra-point attempt during Monday's 24-12 loss to the Packers.

    Gay hadn't missed an extra point since Week 5 of the 2021 campaign, so the miss in the frigid air of Lambeau Field should be looked at as an outlier, not a trend. In fact, Gay booted a 55-yard field goal in the second quarter, the third 50-plus yard field goal made at Lambeau Field with temperatures under 25 degrees, and chipped in a 33-yarder as well to keep up his stellar 21-for-23 record on field-goal attempts with three games to go.

  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Good on game-winner

    Dicker nailed both of his extra-point attempts and also the game-winning field goal Sunday in the 17-14 win over the Titans.

    The undrafted rookie free agent has been a revelation in replacement of the injured Dustin Hopkins (hamstring), as Dicker has missed just one kick -- a 52-yard attempt -- of any kind with the Chargers. More importantly, he's managed to also knock in two game-winning field goals during that stretch. The Chargers typically don't attempt many field goals given the aggressive nature of head coach Brandon Staley, but Dicker has been money with the few opportunities he's gotten.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Opens scoring with 49-yard FG

    Carlson made his only field-goal attempt and converted all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Patriots.

    Despite the Raiders putting up 30 points on the Pats, Carlson attempted less than three field goals in a contest for the first time since Week 10, though he nailed his lone effort from 49 yards on the game's first scoring play Sunday. He's now slated to face a more challenging environment on the road against the Steelers, with sub-freezing temperatures expected Saturday night in Pittsburgh.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Misses from 38 yards

    Elliott made both of his extra-point attempts but missed one of his two field-goal tries in Sunday's win over the Bears.

    Elliott made a 32-yarder to open the scoring early in the second quarter, but he missed from 38 yards in the middle of the fourth, a kick which would have put the Eagles up by seven. The miss didn't end up mattering, as the Eagles scored a touchdown four minutes later to open up a two-score lead, but it was the latest episode in a surprisingly mediocre season for Elliott. He's tied for 32nd in the league with 12 made field goals, though he's at least somewhat made up for it by leading the league in extra points (45).

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Commanders' Joey Slye: Chances limited, unfavorable Sunday

    Slye converted on both of his two field-goal attempts but missed his lone point-after try in Sunday's game versus the Giants.

    Slye opened the scoring with a 47-yarder late in the first quarter and connected on a 51-yarder to cut Washington's deficit to five points in the fourth quarter, but he missed his only extra point attempt in the third quarter after it was lengthened by an offensive pass interference flag on a two-point try. Kickers are rarely automatic when temperatures are hovering around freezing as they were in Washington on Sunday night, so Slye's performance in Week 15 was solid given the context, just as he's been solid all year for the Commanders. However, Washington is averaging an anemic 18.9 points per game and will see a stout defense on the road in San Francisco in Week 16, so Slye doesn't project as a great fantasy option for Saturday.
