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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
