Riley Patterson K | MIA
Jaguars' Riley Patterson: Scores every point
Patterson was responsible for all of the Jaguars' points in their 13-6 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Patterson converted on both of his field-goal attempts Sunday, hitting from 45 and 26 yards. His performance in Week 5 brings him to a 90 percent success rate on the season on 10 FGAs. Although he didn't attempt any extra points Sunday, he's also converted on all ten of his PATs this year.

Matt Gay K | SF
Rams' Matt Gay: Misses 51-yard field goal in loss
Gay connected on one of two field-goal attempts and converted his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Cowboys.
The Rams offense had another weak performance Sunday, limiting Gay's opportunities to produce. A 51-yard field-goal attempt in the fourth quarter went wide right, and while Gay did connect on a 29-yard field goal in the first quarter, it marked the fourth game out of five this season where the dependable kicker has had two or less field-goal attempts. The Rams face a struggling Panthers team in Week 6 before going on bye, which may help boost Gay's otherwise pedestrian numbers.

Nick Folk K | NYJ
Patriots' Nick Folk: Logs 17 points in Week 5
Folk made all five of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 29-0 win over the Lions en route to recording 17 points in the contest.
The 17 points were easily a season-high for Folk, who now has a total of 37 points through five contests. It remains to be seen if Mac Jones (ankle) or Bailey Zappe (Sunday's starting QB) are under center in Week 6 against the Browns, but the Patriots' effort on offense versus Detroit offers hope that Folk can maintain fantasy utility in the weeks ahead.

Chris Boswell K | PIT
Steelers' Chris Boswell: Misses two kicks in windy Buffalo
Boswell converted one of his three field-goal attempts during the Steelers' 38-3 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
The Steelers struggled to generate much offensive production Sunday, and Boswell missed 33- and 45-yard field-goal attempts since the wind was swirling in Buffalo. The 31-year-old had made eight of his 10 field-goal attempts over the first four weeks of the season, so he should be more effective when the Steelers play in more favorable weather conditions.

Jason Myers K | SEA
Seahawks' Jason Myers: Makes four kicks
Myers connected on both field-goal attempts and two of three extra-point tries in Sunday's 39-32 loss to the Saints.
Myers hit field goals from 56 and 31 yards, and he has now made eight of nine field-goal attempts, including both tries from beyond 50 yards. Myers is getting more opportunities this season, as he has averaged 1.8 field-goal tries this year after averaging 1.4 attempts per game in the previous two seasons.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Saints' Wil Lutz: Given just one field-goal attempt
Lutz converted his only field-goal attempt and made all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 39-32 win over the Seahawks.
Although the Saints managed to put up 39 points on the scoreboard in Week 5 against Seattle, Lutz registered just one field-goal try for the day, which came from 56 yards out at the 9:34 mark in the first quarter. The 28-year-old kicker is now just 5-of-9 on field-goals and 10-of-10 on point-after tries in 2022, and he'll look to produce again Sunday against the Bengals.

Younghoe Koo K | NYG
Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Misses 52-yard field goal in loss
Koo missed his only field-goal attempt and made his only extra-point try during Sunday's 21-15 defeat versus Tampa Bay.
The Falcons offense faltered against Tampa Bay, which hindered Koo's overall potential, but the kicker didn't do himself any favors by missing a 52-yarder near the end of the first half. Both of Koo's misses this season have come from beyond 50-plus yards, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about his accuracy. However, it is concerning to see Atlanta struggle to move the ball after being extremely efficient through the first four weeks of the season. The Falcons face another strong defense (49ers) in Week 6, but Kyle Pitts (hamstring) potentially returning from a one-game absence could get Atlanta back on track, which would bode well for Koo's production moving forward.

Greg Joseph K | LV
Vikings' Greg Joseph: Misses both field goals in Week 5
Joseph missed both of his field-goal attempts but converted all three extra-point tries during Sunday's 29-22 win over the Bears.
Both of Joseph's misfires came from deep, as he sent the first attempt wide right from 53 yards out right before the conclusion of the first half. The second attempt came about halfway through the third quarter, where the 28-year-old kicker's try from 51 yards was blocked. Joseph's next opportunity to get back on track comes Sunday in Miami.

Evan McPherson K | CIN
Bengals' Evan McPherson: Sees limited kicking opportunities
McPherson converted on his only field-goal attempt and both point-after tries during the Bengals' 19-17 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
McPherson made a 40-yarder with eight seconds remaining in the first half, which tied the game at 10-10, but he was otherwise held in check in Week 5. The second-year kicker is now 10-for-12 on field-goal attempts and 8-of-9 on extra-point tries in 2022, and he'll have the luxury of kicking indoors next Sunday in New Orleans.

Mike Badgley K | BUF
Lions' Michael Badgley: Not needed in New England
Badgley did not log an attempt during Sunday's 29-0 loss to the Patriots.
Badgley seemed to be in a good spot for fantasy production after taking over kicking duties for a team that led the league in many offensive categories entering the week. However, the Lions had zero luck getting into scoring range and ultimately went 0-for-6 on fourth downs. Badgley could have had a couple of chances to score points in the second half, but the Detroit coaching staff seemingly saw no point in kicking field goals after a certain point. The entire offense will look to regroup during a Week 6 bye before attempting to get back on track within the indoor confines of AT&T stadium in Week 7.
