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 | NYJ
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.

Evan McPherson K | CIN
Bengals' Evan McPherson: Misses another field goal Sunday
McPherson missed his only field-goal attempt but connected on all six extra-point tries in Sunday's 42-21 win over the Panthers.
After a strong start to the 2022-23 campaign, McPherson has now missed three kicks over Cincinnati's previous two games, including the missed 48-yard field-goal try during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against Carolina. The 23-year-old has just two field-goal makes across the team's last five games, and the Bengals will now enjoy a Week 10 bye before returning the following Sunday versus Pittsburgh.

Matt Gay K | LV
Rams' Matt Gay: Makes two field goals
Gay connected on both field-goal attempts and converted his only extra-point try in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Buccaneers.
Gay was able boot his first field goals since Week 6 in the third quarter, hitting attempts from 26 and 35 yards out. Gay's fantasy ceiling is capped by the anemic state of the Rams offense, however, as Los Angeles has only cleared 14 points once since a Week 3 victory against the Cardinals. The Rams' next opponent just happens to be Arizona, which has given up over 30 points in three straight contests, affording Gay a slightly more optimistic outlook in Week 10.

Greg Zuerlein K | NYJ
Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Kicks game-winner against Bills
Zuerlein made both of his field-goal attempts and converted both PAT tries in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bills.
Zuerlein's 53-yard field goal in the first quarter found a way to knuckle in despite some windy conditions at MetLife Stadium. His 28-yard attempt with less than two minutes remaining in the fourth was less adventurous but just as significant, as that kick broke a 17-17 tie before a defensive stand on Buffalo's ensuing possession clinched the victory for the Jets.
