Jason Sanders K | MIA
Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Whiffs on two extra points
Sanders converted both of his field-goal tries and three of five extra-point attempts during Sunday's 37-19 win over the Browns.
Sanders has missed just three extra-point tries this season, though Miami wasn't hindered by the failed kicks during Sunday's blowout win. After the team returns from a bye week, Sanders will get a chance to capitalize against a poor Texans defense Week 12 in what could be a high-scoring affair for the Dolphins.

Chase McLaughlin K | TB
Colts' Chase McLaughlin: Goes 2-for-3 on field goals
McLaughlin was 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try in Sunday's 25-20 win over the Raiders.
McLaughlin made two 48-yard field goals in the second quarter before his third 48-yard try hit the right upright and missed early in the third period. The kicker is now 16-for-19 on field goals while going 9-for-9 on extra-point attempts over nine games this season.

Greg Joseph K | LV
Vikings' Greg Joseph: Makes two field goals in win
Joseph converted both of his field-goal attempts while going 3-for-4 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 33-30 overtime win over the Bills.
Joseph made a 27-yard field goal in the second quarter before later adding the game-winning 33-yard try in overtime. The kicker has now gone 13-for-18 on field goals this season, though he is 1-for-6 from 50-plus yards. The missed PAT was his fourth of the year, matching the most he's had in any season over his four-year career.

Matthew Wright K | HOU
Steelers' Matthew Wright: Struggles in team debut
Wright converted two of four field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries during the Steelers' 20-10 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Wright handled kicking duties for Pittsburgh in Week 10 after Chris Boswell (groin) was placed on injured reserve. Wright made his two kicks in the first half but struggled after halftime and missed a 39-yard field-goal attempt in the third quarter before missing a 48-yard try in the fourth. The 26-year-old made three of four field-goal attempts while converting all eight of his extra-point tries over two games with Kansas City earlier in the year, and it's not yet clear whether he'll continue to serve as the team's kicker in Boswell's absence given his performance against New Orleans.

Riley Patterson K | MIA
Jaguars' Riley Patterson: Misses twice in loss
Patterson made one of three field-goal attempts and converted both PATs during Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chiefs.
Patterson recovered a successful onside kick to open the game but missed kicks wide left from 51 and 41 yards during the second quarter to sour his day. The 23-year-old had missed only one field goal through the first eight games of the campaign, but he's 3-for-6 across the past two games.

Ka'imi Fairbairn K | HOU
Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Records double-digit points
Fairbairn converted three of three field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Giants in Week 10.
Fairbairn reached double digits in points for the first time this season thanks to Houston's red-zone inefficiency. Three of the Texans' six red-zone trips resulted in Fairbairn field goals. It could have been more, but Houston turned the ball over twice in the shadow of New York's goal line. He's connected on 17 of 19 (89 percent) field-goal attempts, including all three from beyond the 50.

Cade York K | NO
Browns' Cade York: Makes all kicks in loss
York successfully converted his lone field-goal attempt and two extra-point tries in Sunday's 39-17 loss to the Dolphins in Week 10.
York did his part in the loss, making all the opportunities he was allotted, but there was little a placekicker could do for the Browns in Week 10. Cleveland spent the entire second half down by two or three scores.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Saints' Wil Lutz: Knocks through lone FG attempt
Lutz converted his lone field-goal attempt from 44 yards and his only point-after try during Sunday's 20-10 defeat to Pittsburgh.
Lutz tied his season low in total kicking attempts as the Saints gained just 186 total offensive yards Sunday. The 28-year-old has now gone 15-for-20 on field-goal tries and made all 21 of his extra-point attempts this season, and he has converted all but one of his 12 field-goal attempts over the past six games.

Graham Gano K | NYG
Giants' Graham Gano: Makes all four kicks in Week 10
Gano make his lone field-goal attempt and all three extra-point tries Sunday in a Week 10 win over the Texans.
Gano didn't have a field-goal try until the fourth quarter, but he came through when called upon, nailing a 49-yarder with under two minutes remaining that put the game out of reach for New York. He's made 10-of-11 field-goal tries from beyond 40 yards this season and has also converted all 17 of his extra-point attempts. Gano is tied for fourth in the league with 18 made field goals this season, making him a decent option in fantasy leagues that include kickers.

Cairo Santos K | CHI
Bears' Cairo Santos: Records six points in defeat
Santos converted his lone field-goal attempt in the Bears' 31-30 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Despite posting three double-digit scoring performances earlier in the year, Santos has now been help to six points or fewer in each of Chicago's last three games. There have been very few middling games for him this season, and he may continue to be a very volatile fantasy option.
