    Giants' Greg Joseph: Makes three field goals Week 5

    Joseph converted all three of his field-goal tries and both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 29-20 victory versus Seattle.

    None of Joseph's FG tries were very challenging -- his longest was from 38 yards out -- but he did his job well by coming through each time he was called upon. After missing his lone field-goal attempt Week 3 in his first game with New York, Joseph has since gone 8-for-8 on FG tries while making both of his extra-point attempts over his next two contests. The Giants offense has been able to push the ball down the field while struggling to get into the end zone in recent contests, which presents an ideal opportunity for Joseph to rack up points for fantasy managers.

  • Packers' Brayden Narveson: Makes all four attempts

    Narveson made a 46-yard field goal and all three extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-19 victory over the Rams.

    Narveson missed two field-goal attempts in a Week 4 loss to the Vikings and was seemingly standing on shaky ground afterward, but the Packers stuck with him for Week 5, and he responded by making all four kicks he put in the air. Narveson has slowed down since putting at least 10 points on the board in his first three appearances of the season, but he will have a chance to get going again in Week 6 against a Cardinals team that allowed opposing kickers to rack up five field goals and six extra points over its last two contests.

  • Joshua Karty K | LAR

    Rams' Joshua Karty: Has PAT blocked

    Karty connected on one of his two extra-point tries during Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Packers.

    The rookie kicker never had a chance to attempt a field goal, and in the second quarter, his PAT attempt after a pick-six was blocked. Heading into the Rams' Week 6 bye, Karty is a solid 9-for-10 on field-goal attempts and has one miss in eight PAT tries, one of the lone bright spots on a Rams offense that has been struggling with injury and ineffectiveness through the first quarter of the season.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Breaks cold streak from distance

    Tucker converted both of his field-goal attempts (56, 24) and all five of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's overtime win over the Bengals.

    Tucker had been maligned of late for having failed to convert any field goals of 50+ yards this season after going 2-for-6 on such kicks last season. He shook off that cold streak when the Ravens needed it most, as he booted a beautiful 56-yarder with fade on it that sailed through the uprights to tie the game late in the fourth quarter. His game-winning kick had a lower degree of difficulty at just 24 yards. Concerns over Tucker's range are on hold for now as Baltimore heads into its Week 6 matchup against Washington.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Solid in narrow win over Patriots

    Sanders converted three of four field-goal attempts during Sunday's 15-10 win over New England.

    Sanders missed one field-goal try from 41 yards out, but he converted kicks from distances of 54, 47 and 32 yards away. He hasn't been afforded the chance to kick a PAT in three consecutive games. After a Week 6 bye, Sanders and the Dolphins will face off against the Colts on the road.

  • Cam Little K | JAC

    Jaguars' Cam Little: Flawless in Week 5

    Little converted on all three of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 37-34 win versus the Colts.

    Little had been doing well with the limited opportunities he saw during the first four games of the season, and he demonstrated consistency again Sunday. If Jacksonville can build on the offensive momentum it built in Week 5, Little seems to have the ability to deliver for fantasy managers. If the Jaguars revert to the mean they established for themselves through the first four weeks of the year, though, he won't be viable in most formats.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Perfect in prime time

    Boswell made his lone field-goal attempt while converting both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys.

    Boswell was held to just one field-goal attempt for a second consecutive week Sunday, but he was still perfect on three kicks in the narrow defeat. The 33-year-old has been relatively busy over the first five weeks of the regular season, converting 12 of 13 field-goal attempts while making all eight of his extra-point tries.

  • Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Gets attempt blocked Sunday

    Aubrey connected on two of three field-goal attempts and both his extra-point tries in Sunday's win over the Steelers.

    The second-year kicker drilled FGs from 33 and 55 yards out in the first half, but Aubrey had a 38-yard attempt blocked in the third quarter, which goes into the books as his second miss of the season in 16 field-goal tries. He's still a perfect 9-for-9 on PATs, and no kicker in the league has more FG attempts through five weeks. Aubrey figures to be busy again in Week 6 against the Lions.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Wins it as time expires

    Fairbairn converted all three field-goal attempts and two extra-point kicks in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills in Week 5.

    Fairbairn drilled a 59-yarder as time expired to give Houston the win. He had earlier booted a 50-yarder and is now 8-of-9 from the 50 and beyond. This was the third time in five games he's posted double-digit points, and the eight-year veteran is averaging 8.4 points per game. The decision to give Fairbairn a three-year contract in the offseason was a wise one; his leg has been integral in two of Houston's four wins.

  • Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Back on track in loss

    Hopkins converted both of his field-goal attempts and a lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Commanders in Week 5.

    Hopkins, who had misses in each of the last two games, nailed all five his kicks. The field goals were from 51 and 31 yards. Hopkins averaged 8.2 points per game in 2023, but the Browns' sputtering offense in 2024 has impacted his value. The kicker is averaging just 5.4 points per game through five weeks.
