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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
