Greg Joseph K | LV
Vikings' Greg Joseph: Another perfect outing
Joseph made his only field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries during Sunday's 34-23 loss to Detroit.
Joseph made his only field-goal attempt, a 41-yarder early in the fourth quarter, to cut Minnesota's deficit to 28-16. After starting the campaign 9-for-14, the veteran kicker has connected on 10 straight field goals, including three from beyond 40 yards.

Brett Maher K | LAR
Cowboys' Brett Maher: Perfect in Sunday's win
Maher converted both his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's win over the Texans.
It's just the second time in the Cowboys' last seven games Maher has seen multiple FG attempts, but the team's offense has provided him with plenty of PAT opportunities -- he hasn't kicked fewer than three extra points in a game during that stretch. He'll remain a high-floor fantasy option heading into a Week 15 trip to Jacksonville.

Chris Boswell K | PIT
Steelers' Chris Boswell: Makes two extra-point tries
Boswell missed his lone field-goal attempt while making both of his extra-point tries during the Steelers' 16-14 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Boswell returned to the field Sunday after missing the last five games due to a groin injury, but he had his lone field-goal attempt blocked during the narrow loss to Baltimore. However, it was encouraging to see him convert both of his extra-point tries. Over eight appearances this year, the 31-year-old has converted 12 of 17 field-goal attempts while making all 11 of his extra-point tries.

Jason Sanders K | MIA
Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Good on only FGA
Sanders converted his lone field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries during Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Chargers.
Sanders has back-to-back games with just one field-goal attempt, a pattern that coincides with Tua Tagovailoa's recent struggles on offense. The Dolphins have a tough matchup against the Bills on deck Week 15, so if the offense isn't able to get back on track, fantasy managers may want to look for a starting option other than Sanders.

Justin Tucker K | BAL
Ravens' Justin Tucker: Makes every kick Sunday
Tucker converted all three of his field goal attempts in Sunday's win over the Steelers and added a made extra point.
Pittsburgh is a notoriously tough place to kick late in the season but Tucker was automatic still with field goals of 42, 35, and 30 yards. Tucker is tied for the league lead in made field goals (28) and ranks fourth in field goals of 50+ yards (6). Tucker and the Ravens have another road divisional game set for this week as Baltimore travels to Cleveland on Saturday afternoon.

Eddy Pineiro K | SF
Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Perfect in win
Pineiro made all three of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Seahawks.
Pineiro connected from 47, 32 and 39 yards on his field goals, helping him score double-digit points for the third time in four games. For the season, he now sports 96 points in 13 appearances.

Ka'imi Fairbairn K | HOU
Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Double-digit points in loss
Fairbairn converted all three field-goal attempts and both extra-point kicks in Sunday's 27-23 loss to Dallas in Week 14.
Fairbairn connected on two kicks from long distance -- 50 and 54 yards -- and another from 43 yards. The 10-point effort was his second double-digit output of the season and came after a week of practice during which he dealt with a groin injury. The six-year veteran is enjoying a bounce-back season, having made 92 percent (24 of 26) of his FGAs.

Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Tallies 10 points Thursday
Carlson made all three of his field-goal attempts and added an extra point in Thursday's 17-16 loss to the Rams.
Carlson put a halt to his streak of three consecutive games with a missed field-goal attempt, converting from 31, 36 and 52 yards at SoFi Stadium on Thursday. He's scored 39 total points over the Raiders' past four contests as the team heads into a Week 15 matchup against a stout Patriots defense.

Cade York K | NO
Browns' Cade York: Makes all kicks in loss
York converted his lone field-goal attempt and extra-point kick in Sunday's 23-10 loss to Cincinnati in Week 14.
York's make was shortie from 26 yards, and the rookie's four-point week tied a season low. He was not given a chance for three points on the Browns' opening drive, which could have given him a normal week of production. Cleveland had 4th-and-1 at the Bengals' 25-yard line, but head coach Kevin Stefanski opted to go for it. York ranks 17th among placekickers with 88 points through 14 games (6.8 PPG).

Greg Zuerlein K | NYJ
Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Doesn't miss in loss
Zuerlein made his lone field-goal attempt from 26 yards out and added a successful PAT in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Bills.
New York's other two points besides the touchdown and field goal came on a safety. Zuerlein has made 10 of 11 field-goal attempts over his last five games.
