  • Cardinals' Rodrigo Blankenship: Moves to Cardinals' active roster

    Arizona signed Blankenship to the active roster from the practice squad Wednesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    Blankenship made two field goals in his debut for the Cardinals last week, with one coming from 50 yards out, and he went 2-for-3 on extra-point tries. His move to the active roster could signal that Matt Prater (hip) is trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Cardinals' Matt Prater: Considered 'day-to-day'

    Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury labeled Prater (hip) day-to-day on Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Prater was a game-time decision last Thursday against the Saints before the Cardinals ruled him out for a third consecutive game. Now that he's practicing for the first time since his last appearance Week 4, he'll look to build upon Wednesday's limited participation as the week goes on. Kingsbury also noted that Prater may only kick field goals and extra points if he's available for Sunday's contest at Minnesota, with Rodrigo Blankenship handling kickoffs. However, it's unclear whether that'll come to pass.

  • Broncos' Brandon McManus: Misses two kicks

    McManus missed one of his two field-goal attempts as well as his only extra-point try in Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Jets.

    McManus failed on a PAT to begin the day, then went wide right on a 56-yard attempt with his next kick. Although he subsequently rallied with a 44-yard make, it wasn't the veteran's best performance, as Denver suffered a close defeat at home.

  • Jaguars' Riley Patterson: Misses extra point

    Patterson made his only field-goal attempt but missed his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Giants.

    Patterson converted from 27 yards on his field goal. His missed PAT was only his first of the campaign, but Patterson has still scored merely three points in three of his last four outings.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Misfires once in seven kicks

    Butker went 0-for-1 on field-goal attempts and 6-for-6 on point-after tries during Sunday's 44-23 win against the 49ers.

    Unfortunately, Butker's lone miss Sunday came on an attempt that counts for the most for fantasy purposes, but he at least knocked home all six of his extra-point tries to maintain some fantasy value. The Chiefs demonstrated their offensive prowess against one of the better defenses in the NFL, which bodes well for his outlook.

  • Nick Folk K | ATL

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Two points in Week 7

    Folk made both of his extra-point tries in Monday's 33-14 loss to the Bears.

    Folk's two-point effort Monday follows a two-game stretch in which he recorded 25 points. Overall, the veteran kicker has notched 47 points in seven games to date and chances are Folk sees more scoring opportunities this Sunday against the Jets than he did in Week 7.

  • 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.

  • 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.
