  • 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.

  • 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 | NYJ

    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.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Cardinals' Matt Prater: Won't play Week 10

    Arizona downgraded Prater (hip/illness) from questionable to out in advance of Sunday's game against the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Though Prater took the questionable designation into the weekend, his absence for the Week 10 game appeared to be a foregone conclusion after he didn't travel with the Cardinals to Los Angeles on Saturday. With Prater sidelined for the fourth time in six games on account of the right hip issue, the Cardinals have elevated Tristan Vizcaino from the practice squad to handle kicking duties this weekend.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Cardinals' Matt Prater: Doesn't travel with team

    Prater (hip/illness) did not travel with the Cardinals to Los Angeles on Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Howard Balzer of SI.com reports.

    In addition to his hip issue, Prater has also been dealing with an illness. If he's feeling better, Balzer reports that Prater will travel on his own to Los Angeles in time for Arizona's Week 10 matchup. However, the team also signed Tristan Vizcaino on Saturday as insurance in case Prater is unable to suit up.

  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Suiting up again Sunday night

    The Chargers elevated Dicker from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at San Francisco.

    Dicker will handle kicking duties for the Chargers for a second consecutive week Sunday. He knocked through both of his point-after tries and both of his field-goal attempts in Week 9 at Atlanta. After Week 10, the Chargers will only be allowed to activate him for one more game before he would need to be signed to the active roster in order to suit up.

  • Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Season high despite miss

    Pineiro made all four of his field-goal attempts but missed one of his two extra-point tries in Thursday night's 25-15 win over the Falcons.

    Pineiro hit field goals from 46, 49, 40 and 37 yards. That accuracy helped him post a season-high 13 points despite misfiring on a PAT. Through 10 games, the veteran now sports 70 points.
