  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Perfect in busiest game of season

    Elliott went 6-for-6 on extra points and 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts in Sunday's 48-22 victory over the Giants.

    Elliott's eight total kick attempts Sunday represent a new season high. As usual, the Eagles' prolific offense found the end zone often enough to deny a huge fantasy outburst for Elliott, but it was still a very productive day for the kicker. Elliott didn't even have to work too hard to put up his points, as his field-goal attempts came from 29 and 39 yards.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Hits four short kicks

    Myers connected on a 27-yard field goal and all three extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Panthers.

    Myers was perfect from short range to retain his spot as the league's most accurate kicker this year, as he has hit 24 of 25 field-goal tries, including all nine boots from beyond 40 yards. He's averaging just under two field goals per game, so he should be considered a solid fantasy option down the stretch.

  • Mike Badgley K | BUF

    Lions' Michael Badgley: Posts 10 points against Vikings

    Badgley converted two of three field-goal attempts and four of four PATs during Sunday's 34-23 win over Jacksonville.

    Badgley followed up a huge Week 13 performance against the Jaguars with another solid stat line, thanks again to the offensive firepower of a fully healthy Lions offense. With that said, he could have had a bigger day had he not missed a 47-yard attempt at the end of the first half. He'll look to improve upon this performance in a Week 15 outdoors matchup in New York against the Jets.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: No field-goal tries Sunday

    Gano made both of his extra-point tries and did not attempt a field goal Week 14 in a loss to the Eagles.

    Gano was hampered by a lopsided affair that saw Philadelphia post a 20-point lead by the end of the third quarter. When the fourth period came around, the Giants elected to go for a 4th-and-8 on the Eagles' 23-yard line instead of turning to the veteran kicker, eliminating what would have been his lone field-goal try. He didn't even get a chance at a third extra-point attempt, as New York tried (and succeeded on) a meaningless two-point conversion with 39 seconds left in the contest. Gano will look for more opportunities against Washington in Week 15.

  • Jaguars' Riley Patterson: Converts three FGs

    Patterson was perfect on three field-goal attempts and three PATs during Sunday's 36-22 win at Tennessee.

    Patterson converted field goals from 33, 37 and 43 yards during the victory. It's the fifth time this season the 23-year-old has attempted at least three field goals in a single game, and it's also the third consecutive contest in which he's made multiple attempts.

  • Bengals' Evan McPherson: Connects on three more kicks

    McPherson made his only field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries during Sunday's 23-10 win over the Browns.

    McPherson made two extra-point tries before connecting on his lone field-goal attempt, a 30-yarder that extended Cincinnati's lead to 23-10. After missing back-to-back attempts in Weeks 8 and 9, the second-year kicker has connected on six straight field goals, including four from beyond 40 yards.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
