Hopkins (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on the Chargers' injury report Thursday.

Hopkins has now missed each of the Chargers' last three games due to a hamstring injury, and his absence from Thursday's session certainly doesn't help his chances of returning for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs. Cameron Dicker would likely fill in as Los Angeles' kicker in Week 11 should Hopkins eventually be ruled out.

Hopkins (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on the Chargers' injury report Wednesday.

Hopkins is expected to miss at least one more game while dealing with a lingering hamstring injury, so his lack of participation Wednesday comes as no surprise. Over five games this season, the 32-year-old has made all but one of his 10 field-goal attempts while going a perfect 12-for-12 on point-after attempts. Cameron Dicker should continue to fill in for Hopkins against the Chiefs in Week 11.

Elliott did not attempt any field goals but made all three of his extra-point tries in Monday night's 32-21 loss to the Commanders.

Elliott has been called on for merely eight field-goal attempts all season, restricting his output. Despite missing only three of 35 total kicks, his 44 points rank outside the top 25 players at his position.

Badgley made his only field-goal attempt and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Bears.

Badgley clinched Detroit's second straight victory with a PAT with just over two minutes remaining. He made a 25-yard field goal earlier in the contest, ultimately totaling seven points after posting merely one in Week 9.

Bass made all three of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Vikings.

Bass hit a 29-yarder to send the game to overtime after converting field goals from 34 and 45 yards earlier in the game. His 12 total points marked a season high and brought him up to fifth among kickers in points this term.

Head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed Tuesday that Wright would retain kicking duties for the Steelers in the team's Week 11 game against the Bengals, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Wright will get another shot at redemption after misfiring from 39 and 48 yards out on two of his four field-goal attempts in this past Sunday's 20-10 win over the Saints. The 26-year-old has converted at a respectable 83.3 percent rate from the field over parts of three NFL seasons, so the Steelers believe the erratic showing against the Saints was more of an outlier performance. Pittsburgh will have an opening for Wright for at least three more games after Chris Boswell (groin) was placed on injured reserve ahead of last week's game.

Butker went 3-for-4 on point-after tries during Sunday's 27-17 win versus Jacksonville.

Butker left both a point and a fantasy point on the board with his missed PAT, but it would have been a disappointing fantasy showing either way, mainly because the Chiefs never attempted a field goal when in scoring range. It's not exactly a case of going for it on fourth either; the Chiefs have gone for it on fourth just eight times in nine games, tying for the sixth-fewest fourth-down attempts in the NFL. Butker has attempted at least one field goal in every other game, and the early odds peg the Chiefs-Chargers as one of the highest-score contests next week, so Butker should have an excellent chance to bounce back.

Slye converted all four of his field-goal tries and both extra-point attempts during Monday's 32-21 win over Philadelphia.

Slye enjoyed his first game of the season with four field-goal conversions during Monday night's divisional win, and it was just his second contest of the year logging at least four attempts. Washington won't always benefit from as many opportunities as the turnover-prone Eagles provided Monday, but Slye could see ample chances to score again versus the Texans in Week 11.

Carlson converted two extra-point attempts in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Colts.

Carlson has attempted just three total field goals across four games since the Raiders' bye week, so the team will perhaps find more opportunities for Carlson to showcase his range Week 11 in Denver.

McManus connected on his only field-goal attempt while also making his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Titans.

McManus converted his lone field-goal attempt from 39 yards Sunday. Denver continued to struggle offensively, limiting opportunities in scoring range. The Broncos' inability to move the ball consistently is a cause for concern for fantasy managers relying on McManus' production. With a favorable matchup against the Raiders in Week 11, the veteran kicker could see plenty of opportunities to produce for fantasy purposes.
