Eddy Pineiro K | SF
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.

Tyler Bass K | BUF
Bills' Tyler Bass: Major role in challenging week
Bass connected on all six field-goal tries and his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's win over the Browns.
The game was moved to Detroit and perfect conditions due to a snowstorm in Buffalo, and perhaps nobody benefited more than the third-year kicker, as we have to imagine it would have been tough to make six field goals in a game that would have been greatly affected by weather. We also have to imagine the 19 points won a number of fantasy games in Week 11, as Bass actually out-pointed superstar teammate Josh Allen for the week. Bass's big outing has vaulted him all the way to the top of the list among all kickers with 93 points.

Mike Badgley K | BUF
Lions' Michael Badgley: Held to one FGA
Badgley converted his only field-goal attempt and all four PATs during Sunday's 31-18 win over the Giants.
The good news is that the Lions offense is doing well in the returns of D'Andre Swift and DJ Chark (ankle). However, for a second week in a row, the unit was too efficient for Badgley to put together a monster fantasy day. It is possible it could all come together for him in Week 12 if a tough Buffalo defense can force Detroit into more field-goal attempts.

Joey Slye K | TEN
Commanders' Joey Slye: Converts trio of FGs
Slye made all three of his field-goal attempts and both PAT tries in Sunday's 23-10 win over Houston.
Washington dominated a Texans team that fell to 1-8-1, which led to another busy outing for Slye, who has converted all seven of his field-goal attempts in the past two games. His makes against Houston came from 25, 24 and 44 yards.

Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Rebounds from 46-yard miss
Carlson made three of four field-goal attempts and converted his only extra-point try in Sunday's 22-16 overtime win over the Broncos.
Carlson missed his first field-goal attempt since Week 9 of the 2021 season when his 46-yard effort sailed wide right in the early stages of the second quarter. However, he rebounded from the rare mistake in a massive way with connections from 52, 57 and 25 yards in the second half to ultimately send the Raiders to overtime. Carlson hadn't made, nor even attempted three field goals in a game since Week 5 prior to Sunday's victory.

Brett Maher K | LAR
Cowboys' Brett Maher: Busy in Sunday's rout
Maher connected on all four of his field-goal attempts and all four of his PATs in Sunday's 40-3 win over the Vikings.
With the Cowboys' offense slipping into overdrive, Maher had plenty of chances to rack up points, but his most impressive feat came at the end of the second quarter. He booted a 60-yard field goal just as the clock expired on the half, only for the kick to get undone by a late replay call from upstairs. After CeeDee Lamb's catch was upheld, Maher calmly stepped up and drilled the 60-yarder again. The 33-year-old hasn't missed a kick since Week 6 and hasn't missed a field goal under 50 yards all season, giving him both a solid floor and impressive ceiling heading into Dallas' Thanksgiving clash with the Giants.

Nick Folk K | ATL
Patriots' Nick Folk: Makes one field goal Sunday
Folk made one of his three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Jets en route to recording four points in Week 11.
Per Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site, wind was a factor Sunday, while Michael Palardy subbed in as the team's holder with Jake Bailey out. Folk will look to bounce back on the road Thursday night against the Vikings, who play at U.S. Bank Stadium, where weather won't be a factor in Week 12.

Matt Gay K | LV
Rams' Matt Gay: Perfect against Saints
Gay connected on both field-goal attempts and went 2-for-2 on extra-point tries during Sunday's 27-20 loss against the Saints.
Gay's production got a major boost in the form of a pair of field goals in the fourth quarter. The strong-legged kicker booted a 58-yard field goal with just 11 seconds left in the game, and he added a 33-yard chip shot at the start of the quarter. This was Gay's best performance for fantasy purposes since Week 4, and the veteran has a nearly flawless 14-for-15 record on field-goal attempts on the season.

Greg Joseph K | LV
Vikings' Greg Joseph: Supplies only points in loss
Joseph made his only field-goal attempt in Sunday's 40-3 loss to the Cowboys.
Joseph made a chip-shot 25-yard field goal in the first quarter, accounting for all the offense in the contest for the Vikings. The kicker has now gone 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts over the last three games, though all of them have been from 39 yards or shorter. Joseph will look to be more involved when the Vikings face the Patriots on Thanksgiving Day in Week 12.
