  • Mike Badgley K | BUF

    Lions' Michael Badgley: Monster day against Jaguars

    Badgley converted four of four field-goal attempts and four of four PATs during Sunday's 41-14 win over Jacksonville.

    The Lions offense has promptly returned to the high-scoring ways they flashed in September now that the unit is practically back to full health. While Badgley won't have these sorts of monster outings every week, he should have the upside to do so most games down the stretch given Detroit's relatively soft schedule. Up next is a Week 14 Ford Field showdown in Minnesota.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Finally misses at Allegiant Stadium

    Carlson made two of three field-goal attempts and converted all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Chargers.

    Carlson's first career miss inside Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium came at the end of the first half Sunday, when his 52-yard attempt sailed wide left. He connected from 55 yards earlier in the second quarter, but he's now missed from 50-plus in back-to-back contests. Carlson could benefit from the Raiders' upcoming matchup against a struggling Rams squad.

  • Steelers' Matthew Wright: Perfect against Atlanta

    Wright converted all four of his field-goal attempts while making his lone extra-point try during the Steelers' 19-16 win over Atlanta on Sunday.

    Wright's first field goal of Sunday's matchup ricocheted off the right upright before going in, but the 26-year-old was perfect for a third consecutive week to lead the Steelers to a second straight win. Over his last three appearances, he's made all 10 of his field-goal attempts while converting all five of his extra-point tries. Chris Boswell (groin) is eligible to return as early as next week, but the Steelers haven't yet indicated when they expect him to be back in action. Until Boswell is healthy, expect Wright to retain kicking duties for Pittsburgh.

  • Jaguars' Riley Patterson: Two FGs in blowout loss

    Patterson converted both field-goal attempts during Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Lions.

    Patterson was successful from 31 and 42 yards during the first half but didn't receive any more opportunities with Jacksonville's offense struggling to move the ball. He's 18-for-22 on field goals and 22-for-23 on PATs through 12 games this season.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Rams' Matt Gay: Ties season high with three FGs

    Gay connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and went 2-for-2 on extra-point tries during Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Seahawks.

    Fantasy managers that were brave enough to start the slumping Gay were rewarded, as Gay connected on a long 54-yard attempt, along with makes from 40 and 32 yards, and continued his season-long perfect streak on extra-point tries. The accurate kicker takes on a Raiders defense that ranks near the bottom of the league in Week 14, which may give Gay more kicking opportunities for a second straight week.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Converts lone FGA

    Sanders converted his only field-goal try and both extra-point attempts during Sunday's 33-17 loss to the 49ers.

    Sanders didn't see many scoring opportunities in a contest that saw Miami's offense struggle for much of the game. It was a somewhat predictable outcome, with the Dolphins down both starting tackles against one of the league's most ferocious defensive fronts. Sanders will hope for a more favorable script Week 14 versus the Chargers.

  • Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Spectacular in defeat

    Zuerlein made all five field-goal attempts -- including a franchise record 60-yarder -- and his only PAT attempt in Sunday's 27-22 loss to Minnesota.

    Zuerlein delivered one of the best kicking performances of the season as the Mike White-led Jets offense moved the ball at will but consistently stalled in scoring range. The 34-year-old kicker made a 48-yard attempt in the first quarter, then connected from 60 in the final seconds of the first half. After halftime, Zuerlein added makes from 36, 30 and 26 yards.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYG

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Nails two long field goals in loss

    Koo connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and made his lone point-after try during Sunday's 19-16 loss to Pittsburgh.

    Koo put the Falcons on the board with a 50-yard field goal in the second quarter and added a 51-yard make on the Falcons' next offensive drive. He also connected on a 28-yard chip shot to cut Atlanta's lead to 19-16 in the fourth quarter. Coming into the contest, Koo was just 4-for-8 on field-goal attempts from beyond 50 yards, so connecting on two of them in one game is certainly a major confidence boost for the fifth-year kicker.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Perfect again

    Fairbairn made two of two field-goal attempts and was not given a chance to kick an extra point in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Browns in Week 13.

    Fairbairn connected from 44 and 35 yards and has converted 11 consecutive FGAs. His last miss came in the first quarter of Week 7's loss to the Raiders. That's the good news about Fairbairn; the bad news is that he kicks for a team whose offense has cratered the last several weeks. Fairbairn attempted nine field goals and Houston averaged 13.6 points over the last six games. Additionally, they often fall behind by multiple scores and eschew field-goal attempts. For the season, the Texans rank 31st in scoring (15.7 PPG) and last in total yards (279.3 YPG).

  • Cade York K | NYJ

    Browns' Cade York: Perfect in win

    York converted two of two field-goal attempts and three of three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 27-14 win over Houston in Week 13.

    York had been wobbly over the previous five weeks, converting just six of 10 field-goal attempts, so Sunday's effort was a welcome relief. The 2022 fourth-round pick was viewed as someone that could stabilize the position, as the team had burned through kickers since 2019, but there have been moments of uncertainty.
