  • Broncos' Brandon McManus: Makes one field goal

    McManus connected on his only field-goal attempt while also making his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Titans.

    McManus converted his lone field-goal attempt from 39 yards Sunday. Denver continued to struggle offensively, limiting opportunities in scoring range. The Broncos' inability to move the ball consistently is a cause for concern for fantasy managers relying on McManus' production. With a favorable matchup against the Raiders in Week 11, the veteran kicker could see plenty of opportunities to produce for fantasy purposes.

  • Chargers' Dustin Hopkins: Still one week from return

    Coach Brandon Staley relayed Monday that Hopkins (hamstring) is likely another week away from a return to action, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Hopkins so far has missed four games due to a strained hamstring, last suiting up in Week 6. Cameron Dicker has filled in for Hopkins the last two contests, and assuming Staley's prediction comes to pass, Dicker will do so again Sunday versus Kansas City.

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Hits 55-yarder

    Myers connected on a 55-yard field goal and an extra point in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Myers was about to line up for a 40-yard try when wide receiver DK Metcalf incurred an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that backed him up 15 yards. It was no problem for Myers, who has now hit six straight field-goal attempts from beyond 50 yards dating back to last season. Through 10 games this year, Myers has hit 19 of 20 field-goal tries and 26 of 27 extra-point tries.

  • Cameron Dicker: Goes back to practice squad

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

    Dicker kicked for Los Angeles in place of the injured Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) in both Weeks 9 and 10. Dicker hit all three of his field-goal attempts (including a 47-yarder) and his only extra-point try in Sunday's loss to San Francisco, but he'll now head back to the practice squad. If Hopkins is unable to play again Week 11, Dicker could get another opportunity to handle kicking duties, though the Chargers would need to sign him to the active roster since it would be his third elevation.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Rams' Matt Gay: Quiet against Cardinals

    Gay connected on a 37-yard field goal and went 2-for-2 on extra-point tries during Sunday's 27-17 loss against the Cardinals.

    It was more of the same for the reliable Gay, as he had another perfect day of kicks, but once again had very little in the way of volume to help make him a viable fantasy option. The Rams looked dreadful on offense with Matthew Stafford (concussion) out, and the impending potential absence of Cooper Kupp (ankle) will only add to the difficulty of Gay finding scoring opportunities in the short term.

  • Brett Maher K | LAR

    Cowboys' Brett Maher: Perfect on PATs in Lambeau

    Maher converted all four of his extra-point attempts but didn't see a field-goal attempt in Sunday's overtime loss to the Packers.

    For the second straight game, Maher failed to even get a chance to kick a field goal as Dallas efficiently turned red-zone trips into touchdowns and was aggressive on fourth down at the edge of Maher's range. The 32-year-old kicker has gone 11-for-11 on PATs in those two games, so he hasn't been without value, but his fantasy ceiling will remain capped until the Cowboys' offense begins to stall out once in a while. Maher saw multiple FG attempts in all five games Cooper Rush started, going 13-for-15 in total, but he's just 2-for-2 in Dak Prescott's four starts.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
