  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Perfect in win

    Tucker made both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 13-3 win over the Panthers and made his lone extra-point attempt.

    Tucker's impressive season continued Sunday, as the veteran was perfect in the contest. Through 10 games, the 33-year-old kicker has made 20 of 22 field-goal attempts and 26 of 27 extra-point attempts. Even with the Baltimore offense struggling as of late, Tucker remains a reliable fantasy option. The Ravens visit the Jaguars in Week 12.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Key contributor on SNF

    Butker nailed all three field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 30-27 win versus the Chargers.

    After going without a field-goal attempt last week, Butker took advantage of the opportunities he got Sunday night, knocking home two from inside 40 and one from beyond 50 yards in addition to his three extra-point conversions. Kicking behind the highest-scoring offense in the league, Butker should be rostered in almost all formats that include kickers.

  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Signed from practice squad

    The Chargers signed Dicker off their practice squad Tuesday.

    L.A. was out of elevations with Dicker, and because Dustin Hopkins continues to deal with a lingering hamstring strain, the team is going with the former as its placekicker for at least the next four games with the latter now on injured reserve. In three appearances so far with the Chargers, Dicker has made all seven field-goal attempts and all six point-after tries, averaging exactly nine points per game.

  • Chargers' Dustin Hopkins: Hitting IR

    The Chargers placed Hopkins (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Hopkins has missed five of L.A.'s last six games due to a lingering hamstring strain and now will sit out at least four more as he fulfills the terms of his IR stint. While Hopkins remains sidelined, the team will roll with Cameron Dicker as its placekicker after signing him off the practice squad in a corresponding move.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Cardinals' Matt Prater: Nails both kicks Monday

    Prater made his only field-goal attempt and only point-after try during Monday's 38-10 loss to the 49ers.

    Prater was back in action after sitting out Week 10 due to an illness, but a Cardinals offense led by backup quarterback Colt McCoy wasn't able to generate many scoring opportunities. Even when No. 1 QB Kyler Murray was healthy in Prater's six other appearances this season, though, the kicker attempted just eight FGAs and nine PATs. With an average of 5.3 points per game on the campaign, Prater ranks 29th in the NFL among placekickers with at least as many showings (seven) as he's managed.

  • Caleb Shudak K | TEN

    Titans' Caleb Shudak: Nearing return

    Shudak (undisclosed) was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Shudak signed with Tennessee as a UDFA out of Iowa, but he suffered the undisclosed injury in camp and has been on the PUP list since August. With Randy Bullock considered questionable for Sunday's game due to a calf injury and the Titans waiving Josh Lambo on Monday, Shudak could potentially handle the team's kicking duties against the Bengals.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Makes lone field-goal attempt

    Elliott went 1-for-1 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's win over the Colts.

    Elliott didn't have a particularly tough day, as his 22-yard field goal that put the Eagles on the board early in the second quarter came from inside extra-point range. Despite kicking for a team that ranks fourth in points per game, Elliott continues to have an underwhelming fantasy season. The Eagles have been so good at finding the end zone that they've rarely called on him, ranking second in touchdowns but last in field-goal attempts.

  • Broncos' Brandon McManus: Makes three field goals in loss

    McManus made three of his four field-goal attempts as well as his only extra-point try in Sunday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Raiders.

    McManus converted once from 52 yards and twice from 48 yards for his three field goals. The veteran's other attempt was blocked in the closing seconds of the first half. McManus' three field goals were his most since Week 6, as Denver's offense continues to struggle. Getting into scoring range is a tall order for Denver, but the 31-year-old will look to build off his solid performance when the Broncos visit the Panthers in Week 12.

  • Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Makes only kick

    Pineiro made his only field-goal try and did not attempt any extra points in Sunday's 13-3 loss to the Ravens.

    Pineiro hit a 32-yarder for his only field goal. The veteran will hope for a larger workload in Week 12 versus the Broncos.

  • Cameron Dicker: Returns to practice squad

    Dicker reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Dicker served as the Bolts' starting kicker for the third week in a row as Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) remained out for Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. The practice-squad kicker converted both of his field-goal attempts and his lone point-after-try Week 11, and he has now gone a perfect 7-for-7 on his field-goal tries while making all six of his PATs over the past three games. Dicker will now require a full active-roster spot to continue filling in for Hopkins moving forward this season.
