  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Perfect for third straight win

    Myers converted on both of his two field-goal attempts and all three of his point-after tries during Seattle's 27-13 win versus the Giants on Sunday.

    Myers made a 35-yarder to give the Seahawks the lead just before halftime and a 51-yarder to break another tie late in the third quarter. Like the rest of his team, Myers has been on a roll as of late -- he hasn't missed a field goal since Week 4 at Detroit. Only Tampa Bay's Ryan Succop has more field goals this season than Myers, and with a Week 9 date with a poor Cardinals defense in favorable conditions on deck, he ought to be locked into fantasy lineups.

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Commanders' Joey Slye: Does job in close win

    Slye connected on his only field-goal attempt and both of his point-after tries during Washington's 17-16 win at Indianapolis on Sunday.

    Slye chipped in a 28-yarder to bring the Commanders within one score with six minutes remaining and knocked a game-winning point-after attempt through with 22 seconds left. The 26-year-old kicker hasn't seen a ton of opportunities this season as the Washington offense has struggled, but he's been solid in his limited opportunities with an 8-for-10 field-goal conversion rate through eight games in 2022. Unless the Commanders start scoring more consistently though, Slye still likely won't be a great fantasy option.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Spectator in Week 8 loss

    Carlson did not register any point-after tries or field-goal attempts during Las Vegas' 24-0 loss at New Orleans on Sunday.

    Besides sending the second-half kickoff into the end zone for a touchback, Carlson did not participate in a game where the Raiders came in as road favorites and were subsequently shut out by 2021 second-rounder Pete Werner and company. For his part, Carlson has been basically automatic this season, converting on all 16 of his field-goal attempts and 13 of 14 point-after tries, but he'll need his offense to find more success in order to have a chance at bouncing back in Week 9 when his team travels to Jacksonville.

  • Mike Badgley K | BUF

    Lions' Michael Badgley: Another solid performance

    Badgley converted two of two field-goal attempts and three of three PATs during Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Dolphins.

    Badgley may need to start handling kickoff duties to become a candidate for being Detroit's long-term answer at kicker, but he otherwise has been solid for the Lions through two games. The Miami product converted field goals from 26 and 42 yards out in this one and is now a perfect 8-for-8 on the year thanks to a four-field-goal showing he had with Chicago earlier in the season. Badgley will look to stay mistake-free in a potential Week 9 shootout against the Packers.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Makes five field goals Sunday

    Folk made all five of his field-goal attempts en route to recording 16 points in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Jets.

    The five field-goal attempts he saw in Week 8 tied a season high for the veteran kicker, who upped his season points total to 63 in the process. Next up for Folk and the Patriots is a Week 9 home matchup against the 3-4-1 Colts.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Flawless in narrow win

    Sanders converted his only field-goal attempt and all four extra-point tries during Sunday's 31-27 win over the Lions.

    Sanders did all that was asked of him in Sunday's narrow win, a game that saw the Dolphins trailing by a two-score deficit and went into catch-up mode early. Miami's offense will take on a Bears defense Week 9 which just allowed 49 points to the Cowboys, so Sanders could be see ample scoring opportunities.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYG

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Perfect in win

    Koo connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 37-34 overtime victory over Carolina.

    Koo gave the Falcons a 24-21 lead with a 30-yard field goal in the fourth quarter and extended Atlanta's lead to 34-28 with a 34-yard try with 36 seconds left in regulation. After a heroic late touchdown grab by the Panthers' DJ Moore, the game went into overtime, and Koo eventually nailed a game-winning 41-yarder after Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro missed a 32-yard attempt on the previous drive. Koo has yet to miss an extra point this season, and two of his three field-goal misses have come from beyond 50 yards. The fifth-year pro continues to be one of the more reliable kickers in the league and has benefitted from Atlanta's surprisingly efficient offense in 2022.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Rams' Matt Gay: No field-goal attempts in loss

    Gay did not attempt a field goal Sunday while going 2-for-2 on extra-point tries in the Rams' 31-14 loss to the 49ers.

    Gay failed to produce at least one field goal for the first time this season, but he remained perfect on extra-point attempts, raising his season total to 13-for-13 over seven contests. The kicker remains one of the more accurate options in the league, going 9-for-10 on field goals in addition to his success on extra points. Gay could be more involved in Week 9 against the Buccaneers as both teams will look to rebound off disappointing losses.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Saints' Wil Lutz: Busy in blowout win

    Lutz made one of two field-goal attempts while converting all three of his extra-point tries during the Saints' 24-0 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    Lutz made a 37-yard field-goal attempt early in the second quarter Sunday but missed a 38-yard attempt wide right in the closing seconds of the first half. The missed field-goal try didn't have a significant impact in the blowout win, and it was his first missed field-goal attempt since Week 4. Over the last four games, Lutz has converted eight of nine field-goal attempts while making all 13 of his extra-point tries.

  • Colts' Chase McLaughlin: Perfect in loss

    McLaughlin converted all three of his field-goal attempts while making his lone extra-point try during the Colts' 17-16 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

    The Colts relied heavily on field goals for their scoring production Sunday, and McLaughlin was perfect for a fourth consecutive week. Over the last four matchups, he's made all 10 of his field-goal attempts while converting all four of his extra-point tries.
