  • Caleb Shudak K | TEN

    Titans' Caleb Shudak: Comes off PUP list

    The Titans activated Shudak (undisclosed) from the reserve/PUP list Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    An undrafted rookie signee of the Titans back in May, Shudak suffered an unknown injury near the end of the offseason program in mid-June and has resided on the PUP list since the early days of training camp. However, the team designated him for return Tuesday, and with Randy Bullock (calf) ruled out as of Saturday, Shudak will serve as Tennessee's kicker Sunday against the Bengals. In his final season at Iowa in 2021, Shudak made 24 of 28 field-goal attempts and all 36 point-after tries.

  • Nick Folk K | ATL

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Scores 14 points

    Folk made all four of his field-goal attempts and both his extra-point attempts in Thursday's 33-26 loss to the Vikings.

    Folk had a perfect night, bouncing back from a two-miss performance in Week 11. He kept the Patriots in the game by making field goals from 34, 46, 23 and 25 yards away. Folk has now made 24 of his 28 field goals this season and has scored at least 14 points in three of his last four games.

  • Mike Badgley K | BUF

    Lions' Michael Badgley: First miss of season

    Badgley converted one of two field-goal attempts and both of his PATs during Thursday's 28-25 loss to Buffalo.

    Badgley was 10-for-10 on field-goal attempts before shanking a 29-yard attempt in the third quarter. He somewhat redeemed himself in the fourth quarter by nailing a game-tying 51-yard kick with 23 seconds left in regulation. Now that Detroit's offense is getting back on track after a mid-season, injury-induced offensive lull, fantasy managers could do worse at kicker than Badgley in a Week 13 matchup with the Jaguars.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Rebounds with strong Week 12

    Gano made both of his field-goal attempts, including a 57-yarder, and converted both of his extra-point tries Thursday against Dallas on Thanksgiving.

    An ill Gano struggled mightily last week against Detroit, missing both of his extra-point tries while not attempting a field goal for the first time since Week 1. He bounced back in impressive fashion Thursday, converting a 57-yard field goal on New York's second possession and a 47-yarder just before halftime. The veteran kicker also made both of his point-after tries, so it's probably safe to say that last week's struggles were a result of his illness and not a reason to be concerned about his reliability moving forward.

  • Brett Maher K | LAR

    Cowboys' Brett Maher: Rare miss in Thanksgiving win

    Maher missed his only field-goal attempt but connected on all four of his extra points in Thursday's win over the Giants.

    His 46-yard miss in the fourth quarter didn't affect the final result, but it was his first misfire on a FG attempt of less than 50 yards all season. Maher is 22-for-22 on PATs over the last five games, giving him a steady fantasy floor, but he's seen more than one FG attempt only once during that stretch as the efficiency of the Dallas offense has limited his ceiling.

  • Chargers' Dustin Hopkins: Suffers setback

    Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said Wednesday that Hopkins (hamstring) suffered a setback in his recovery, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    As a result of the setback, Hopkins was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, prompting the Chargers to sign Cameron Dicker to their active roster to replace him as the team's kicker. Hopkins has missed five of the team's last six contests due to a hamstring strain and will now be sidelined for at least four additional contests while on IR.

  • 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.
