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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Gano converted his only field-goal try from 34 yards and made all three of his extra-point attempts in a 24-20 Week 6 victory over Baltimore.

Gano had made and attempted at least two field goals in each of his past four games, but he got only one try Sunday. The veteran kicker nailed that kick from 34 yards out and also was successful on all three of his extra-point tries. The Giants offense is far from prolific, but it has produced enough opportunities to allow Gano to be a top-10 fantasy kicker through the first six weeks of the campaign.

Zuerlein made two of three field-goal attempts and all three of his PAT attempts in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Packers.

Zuerlein sandwiched a miss from 53 yards out between makes from 32 and 23 in rainy conditions at Lambeau Field. Considering the Packers had a field goal blocked and each team blocked or deflected a punt, Zuerlein's ability to reliably make chip shots proved crucial in the Jets' well-rounded win.

York converted three of three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 38-15 loss to the Patriots in Week 6.

York made kicks from 39, 48 and 51 yards in what was a nice bounce-back week after the rookie placekicker missed two field goals in a two-point loss in Week 5. He was not given a chance at an extra-point kick, as the Browns opted to go for two points after their lone touchdown.
