Cameron Dicker: Heads back to practice squad
Dicker reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Dicker handled kicking duties for Los Angeles with Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) out for Week 9, and he converted both of his field-goal attempts, including a 37-yarder as time expired to secure the win. Dicker also made both of his point-after tries and is a perfect 4-for-4 on both field-goal attempts and PATs across two games between the Chargers and Eagles this season. Hopkins could return to face the 49ers in Week 10, but if he doesn't Dicker would likely get elevated again.

Riley Patterson K | MIA
Jaguars' Riley Patterson: Goes 2-for-3 in win versus Raiders
Patterson converted on two of his three field-goal attempts and all three of his point-after tries during Jacksonville's 27-20 win versus Las Vegas on Sunday.
Patterson made a 44-yarder to cut a Raiders lead to 10 points just before halftime, and given two opportunities to put the Jaguars up by a touchdown late in the fourth quarter, he made a 48-yarder on his second such try. The NFL sophomore could have had a bigger day, but he pushed his first of those two chances into the right upright with just over three minutes remaining in the game. It was still a solid showing for fantasy managers though, and he has still connected on a healthy 86.7 percent of his field goals through nine games this season.

Jason Sanders K | MIA
Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Shortest miss of career
Sanders failed to convert his only field-goal try but made all five of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 35-32 win over the Bears.
Sanders' miss came on a 29-yard attempt just prior to halftime, the shortest whiff in his NFL career. It's important context that Sunday's contest took place in a windy Soldier Field setting, which played a factor in Miami going for multiple fourth-down conversions rather than attempt to kick in adverse conditions. Sanders' opportunities should normalize versus the Browns in Week 10, though he's only had more than two field-goal attempts in two games this season.

Eddy Pineiro K | SF
Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Makes three kicks
Pineiro didn't attempt a field goal but made all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Bengals.
Pineiro's exposure was limited after a rough Week 8, but the kicker converted each time he was called upon. He'll strive to build on Sunday's showing with a redemptive effort while facing the Falcons again in Week 10.

Mike Badgley K | BUF
Lions' Michael Badgley: Minimal opportunities
Badgley did not attempt a field goal but converted his only PAT during Sunday's 15-9 win over Green Bay.
After three productive games to begin the year, Badgley didn't get much to work with on a day the Lions put up just 254 yards of total offense. It obviously didn't help that Detroit went for two after one of its touchdowns. While Badgley has shown to have some upside in this Lions offense, he will be hard to trust in a Week 10 outdoor game against the Bears in Chicago.

Joey Slye K | TEN
Commanders' Joey Slye: Another perfect outing
Slye made his only field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Vikings.
Slye now has back-to-back weeks without a missed kick following Sunday's loss to Minnesota, where he converted from 44 yards out at the end of the second quarter. Through Washington's first nine games, the 26-year-old is 9-for-11 on field-goal attempts and 12-for-13 on extra-point tries, and he'll look to keep his strong play going in the Week 10 matchup in Philadelphia.

Greg Joseph K | LV
Vikings' Greg Joseph: Perfect in win Sunday
Joseph made both of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Commanders.
Joseph converted two short field goals from 25 and 28 yards out during the fourth quarter of Sunday's matchup against Washington. While Minnesota retains its high-powered offense, the 28-year-old should continue seeing plenty of kicking opportunities.

Nick Folk K | ATL
Patriots' Nick Folk: Makes four field goals Sunday
Folk made all four of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Colts en route to recording 14 points in the contest.
With 30 points over his last two games, Folk was hitting his stride from a fantasy perspective. However,the Patriots are on bye this week, so those who had been relying on the veteran kicker will need to find a substitute for him ahead of Week 10 action.

Chase McLaughlin K | TB
Colts' Chase McLaughlin: Goes 50 percent on kicks Sunday
McLaughlin went 1-for-2 on field-goal tires and did not attempt an extra point during Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Patriots.
McLaughlin connected from 40 yards out but later missed a 39-yarder during Sunday's matchup against New England. While the Colts' offensive struggles continue, kicking opportunities will likely remain limited for the 26-year-old.

Younghoe Koo K | NYG
Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Misses 50-yard attempt in loss
Koo converted one of two field-goal attempts and both of his point-after tries during Sunday's 20-17 loss against the Chargers.
Koo gave the Falcons a 10-0 lead at the end of the first quarter with a 29-yard field goal and went on to make both of his extra-point tries before missing a 50-yard attempt wide right at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Through nine games, the kicker has missed just three kicks, all three of which were beyond 40 yards -- including two from 50-plus. Koo remains one of the more consistent kickers in the league, but his overall fantasy production has been limited by Atlanta's offense, which has scored fewer than 20 points in three of the past five weeks.
