    Patriots' Nick Folk: Eight points in Week 6

    Folk, who made one of his two field-goal attempts in Sunday's 38-15 win over the Browns, recorded eight points in the contest.

    Prior to his fourth-quarter miss from 45 yards, Folk had extended his NFL record to 64 straight field goals made under 50 yards with a 19-yard effort in the first quarter. Six games into the season, the veteran kicker has recorded 45 points, and with his team's offense clicking of late, Folk profiles as a decent Week 7 fantasy option against the Bears next Monday.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Perfect against Buccaneers

    Boswell converted both of his field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 20-18 win over Tampa Bay.

    After missing two kicks during last week's loss in windy Buffalo, Boswell was perfect against the Buccaneers to help lead the Steelers to the narrow victory. The 31-year-old has had plenty of work from 50-plus yards to begin the season but has made just 73.3 percent of his total field-goal attempts over the first six weeks of the campaign.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Another long miss

    Sanders converted one of two field-goal tries and his sole extra-point attempt during Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Vikings.

    Sanders has now missed from 50-plus yards out in three straight weeks, all of which have been contests that saw Miami's offense struggle due to in-game quarterback injuries. The team should have Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) back under center versus the Steelers in Week 7, so there's optimism that the offense gets right, giving Sanders more stable opportunities.

  • Brett Maher K | LAR

    Cowboys' Brett Maher: Misses FG in Sunday's loss

    Maher connected on both his extra points and one of two field-goal attempts during Sunday's 26-17 loss to the Eagles.

    The fourth-quarter miss from 59 yards out had the distance but drifted wide right, and it would have brought the Cowboys to within one score with a little over a minute left in the game. Maher has missed only three kicks -- two of 16 field goals and one of nine PATs -- through six games, and he could see a spike in opportunities in Week 7 against the Lions if Dak Prescott (thumb) is able to return to action.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Rams' Matt Gay: Perfect performance in win

    Gay made a 21-yard field goal and went 3-for-3 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 24-10 win against the Panthers.

    Gay's second quarter chip shot was his sixth field-goal attempt of under 30 yards on the season. The veteran kicker has made just nine field goals and 11 extra points thus far, disappointing numbers for one of the more reliable fantasy kicking options from the 2021 campaign. The Rams offense did seem to find a rhythm against the Panthers that had been lacking in weeks past, however, and with the team going on bye in Week 7, Gay may find himself with more positive game scripts to produce when the team returns in Week 8 for a home game against San Francisco.

  • Jaguars' Riley Patterson: Three PATs in loss

    Patterson did not attempt a field goal while going 3-for-3 on PATs in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Colts.

    Patterson went without a field-goal try for the second time in three games Sunday, making all three of his extra-point attempts in the contest. The kicker has gone 9-for-10 on field goals this season while converting all 13 of his PAT opportunities through six games.

  • Bengals' Evan McPherson: Makes 52-yarder in win

    McPherson made a 52-yard field goal while going 3-for-3 on PATs in the Bengals' Week 6 win over the Saints.

    McPherson was once again limited to just one field-goal attempt Sunday, nailing a 52-yarder late in the fourth quarter. The 23-year-old made all three of his extra-point attempts in the contest as well, and he has now made 11 consecutive PATs. On the season, McPherson has gone 11-for-13 on field goals while going 4-for-4 from 50-plus yards and converting 11 out of 12 extra-point tries.

  • Greg Joseph K | LV

    Vikings' Greg Joseph: Makes only field-goal try in Week 6

    Joseph made his only field-goal attempt while going 1-for-2 on extra-point tries in Sunday's win over Miami.

    Joseph's field goal was good from 34 yards as the the first half came to an end Sunday, getting the kicker back on track after he went 0-for-2 on field goals in Week 5. The kicker did miss a PAT on Sunday, his second missed extra point this season. Overall, Joseph has gone 9-for-13 on field goals while making 12 out of 14 PAT tries through six games.

  • Colts' Chase McLaughlin: Makes two field goals in win

    McLaughlin went 2-for-2 on field goals while making both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Jaguars.

    McLaughlin put the Colts on the board in the early second quarter Sunday, nailing a 28-yard field goal. He later added another field goal from 42 yards while making two PATs. Since taking over as the Colts' starting kicker in Week 2, McLaughlin has gone 9-for-10 on field-goal tries, while his only miss came on an attempt over 50 yards.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYG

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: No field-goal attempts in Week 6

    Koo made all four of his extra-point tries and didn't attempt a field goal during Sunday's 28-14 win over the 49ers.

    Atlanta's offense was surprisingly efficient in the red zone against the 49ers' depleted defense, hindering Koo's overall fantasy production. Regardless, it's an encouraging sign to see the Falcons consistently move the ball, which should bode well for the kicker moving forward. Through six games, the fifth-year pro has connected on all 14 of his PATs and 10 of 13 field-goal attempts, with two of those misses coming from beyond 50 yards.
