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.

Bass made his only field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries during Saturday night's 32-29 win over the Dolphins.

Bass was locked out of field-goal tries until the very end, when he put one through the uprights during snowfall on the last play of the game to send the Bills to the playoffs for the fourth straight season. While the six-point outing isn't great for the top end of fantasy kickers, Bass managers also have to take some comfort in that the game wasn't a total wash for kickers, as most of the snow held off until the later stages of the game. Bass leads the NFL in scoring with 121 points, three ahead of New England's Nick Folk.

McPherson made both field-goal attempts and both PAT tries in Sunday's 34-23 win over the Buccaneers.

A 41-yard field goal as the first half expired accounted for Cincinnati's only points before halftime, but the offense heated up in the second half. McPherson made another kick from 21 yards and tacked on a pair of PATs as the Bengals improved to 10-4.

Folk made all three of his field-goal attempts and his only PAT attempt in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Raiders.

Folk continued his strong season with successful kicks from 24, 47 and 54 yards, but his nice performance was overshadowed by New England's catastrophic final play, which allowed the Raiders to score a walk-off touchdown. The veteran kicker has made 30 of 35 field-goal attempts in 2022, leading the league in both categories.

Prater made all three of his field-goal attempts and didn't attempt a PAT in Sunday's 24-15 loss to Denver.

Prater was effective from deep in the Colorado altitude, making kicks of 45, 50 and 55 yards. The Cardinals went for two after their only touchdown, and opportunities could be scarce moving forward, as Arizona could be down to third-string quarterback Trace McSorley if Colt McCoy (concussion) joins Kyler Murray (knee) on the sidelines.

Maher connected on both his field-goal attempts and all four of his PATs in Sunday's overtime loss to the Jaguars.

He booted field goals on back-to-back Dallas possessions in the third quarter to give the team a 27-10 lead, but the Jags stormed back late and eventually came away with a 40-34 victory. Maher continues to see plenty of extra points, but his inconsistent FG volume has meant he's only reached double-digit points twice in the last nine games. His impressive leg strength -- he's 9-for-11 on FG attempts from 50 yards or more, including a 53-yarder on Sunday -- does give him extra fantasy value in formats that reward longer field goals, however.

Sanders converted all three of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries during Sunday's 32-29 loss to Buffalo.

Sanders pulled through in adverse elements for the Dolphins, though his accuracy wasn't enough to secure a much-needed divisional win over the Bills. He will have a chance to keep up his momentum on Christmas Day versus the Packers in Week 16.

Patterson converted both field-goal attempts and all four PATs during Sunday's 40-34 overtime win over the Cowboys.

Patterson was successful from 33 yards during the third quarter and followed up by making a 48-yard field goal at the end of regulation to send the game to overtime. The 23-year-old went 3-for-6 on field goals in the two games preceding Jacksonville's Week 11 bye, but he's 9-for-9 across the past four contests.

Koo connected on his lone field-goal attempt and only point-after try during Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Saints.

Koo opened the scoring for the Falcons with a 28-yard field goal in the second quarter. He added an extra point following Tyler Allgeier's five-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, but Koo stayed on the sidelines after Cordarrelle Patterson's score in the fourth, as Atlanta opted to go for a two-point conversion to cut New Orleans' lead to three. Across 14 appearances, Koo is 24 of 29 on field-goal attempts, with four of his misses coming from beyond 50 yards.

Boswell converted his lone field-goal attempt while making all three of his extra-point tries during the Steelers' 24-16 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Boswell's lone field-goal attempt was blocked last week, but he drilled a 50-yarder in the fourth quarter Sunday to put the Steelers up by two scores late in the game. Over his two appearances since returning from injury, he's made one of two field-goal attempts while converting all five of his extra-point tries.
