Justin Tucker K | BAL
Ravens' Justin Tucker: Automatic against Cleveland
Tucker converted all three of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's win over the Browns and made both of his extra-point tries.
Tucker got back on track Sunday after missing his first field goal of the season in Week 6 at the Meadowlands. He made his fifth field goal of at least 50 yards, which puts him in a tie for the league lead alongside Las Vegas' Daniel Carlson. Tucker and the Ravens head to Tampa Bay to face the Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football for Week 8.

Cairo Santos K | CHI
Bears' Cairo Santos: Delivers 15-point performance
Santos was perfect on four field-goal attempts and three extra-point tries in the Bears' 33-14 win over the Patriots on Monday.
Santos has made at least three field goals in three of his last four games, but he has a total of one field-goal attempt over his other three games this season, making him a boom-or-bust kicking option in fantasy leagues. As part of his 15-point outing Monday, Santos knocked down attempts from 23, 38, 42 and 50 yards out.

Eddy Pineiro K | SF
Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Only extra points
Pineiro did not attempt a field goal but made all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 21-3 win over the Buccaners.
Pineiro again did all that was required of him. Although he's topped four points just once over the last four games, Pineiro has missed only one of 23 total kicks so far, making him reliable when called upon.

Mike Badgley K | BUF
Lions' Michael Badgley: Moves back to practice squad
Badgley reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Badgley was elevated by Detroit for the second week in a row ahead of Sunday's loss to Dallas, making both of his field-goal attempts in the contest. The 27-year-old has now made all six of his attempts in three combined games between the Bears and Lions this season. Badgley is now eligible for one more practice-squad elevation before requiring a full spot on the active roster to continue suiting up for Detroit this season.

Jason Myers K | SEA
Seahawks' Jason Myers: Perfect at Chargers on Sunday
Myers converted on all three of his field-goal attempts and all four of his point-after tries during Seattle's 37-23 win at the Chargers on Sunday.
Myers hit a 46-yarder to send the Seahawks up 17-0 going into the end of the first quarter, and his flawless performance helped his team sit on that lead the rest of the way. He's been borderline automatic all season, converting on 15 of 16 field goal attempts and 18 of 19 point-after tries through seven contests. As long as Seattle continues to be one of the league's highest-scoring offenses and the weather at Lumen Field cooperates, Myers will remain a high-end fantasy option.

Chris Boswell K | PIT
Steelers' Chris Boswell: Converts both kicks
Boswell made his lone field-goal attempt while converting his lone extra-point try during the Steelers' 16-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Boswell put the Steelers on the board with a 45-yard field goal in the second quarter Sunday and drilled an extra-point try later in the quarter, but the two teams were held scoreless during the second half. The 31-year-old has now converted 12 of 16 field-goal attempts while making all nine of his extra-point tries this season.

Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Nails 50-yarder in win
Carlson made his only field-goal attempt from 50 yards and he added five extra points in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Texans.
Carlson is now a perfect 5-for-5 on 50-plus yard field goals this season, and he's yet to miss a field-goal attempt from any distance through the Raiders' first six games. He'll be kicking indoors at New Orleans in Week 8 as he looks to extend this impressive run of reliability.

Younghoe Koo K | NYG
Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Doesn't miss in Week 7
Koo made his only field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 35-17 loss to the Bengals.
Koo's lone field goal, a 43-yard attempt as time expired in the first half, was setup by a 56-yard punt return by Avery Williams. After making 10 of 12 field-goal attempts through the first four games of the season, Koo has attempted just two field goals in the last three games. However, Atlanta's schedule is set to soften up after a stretch against some tough defenses, so it's possible Koo will get more opportunities moving forward.

Brett Maher K | LAR
Cowboys' Brett Maher: Perfect against Detroit
Maher connected on his only field-goal attempt and all three of his PATs in Sunday's win over the Lions.
It's the first time since Week 1 that Maher hasn't seen multiple FG attempts, and perhaps not coincidentally, that was also the last time Dak Prescott was under center. The three extra points were a season high though, and if a more efficient Cowboys offense trades some of the former for the latter, Maher should still see enough volume to have a steady fantasy floor.

Greg Zuerlein K | NYJ
Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Perfect at altitude
Zuerlein connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and made his only PAT try in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Broncos.
With a long of 45 yards, Zuerlein didn't need any help from the altitude in Denver, but he did well to navigate windy conditions better than the Broncos' Brandon McManus, who missed a field goal and a PAT. All told, Zuerlein has made all but two of his 15 field-goal attempts and 16 of 17 PAT attempts for the 5-2 Jets.
