  • Brett Maher K | LAR

    Cowboys' Brett Maher: Perfect in win over Rams

    Maher connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and his only PAT in a Week 5 win over the Rams.

    He produced the only points in the second half on two FGs, as the Cowboys' defense dominated after intermission. Maher has connected on multiple field goals in each of Cooper Rush's four starts, and he could be busy again in Week 6 against the undefeated Eagles in an NFC East showdown.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Converts two FGs from deep

    Fairbairn was successful on both field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 13-6 win over Jacksonville in Week 5.

    Points were at a premium, and Fairbairn came through for the Texans. He nailed kicks from 50 and 51 yards in the second quarter -- his first two attempts of the season from the 50 and beyond. The fifth-year placekicker has a history of making long-distance kicks, connecting on 67 percent (20 of 30) of his attempts from 50 and beyond during his NFL career.

  • Cade York K | NO

    Browns' Cade York: Two misses in two-point loss

    York missed both of his field-goal attempts and converted all four extra-point kicks in Sunday's 30-28 loss to the Chargers in Week 5.

    York pushed a 45-yarder wide right at the end of the first half, then he went wide right from 54 yards with 11 seconds left in the game. He made quite the splash in training camp, preseason games and when he nailed a 58-yarder in Week 1 for the win, but the love he's felt may be waning. Since that Week 1 game-winning boot, York has missed two extra-point tries, and Week 5's two missed field goals stood out in a two-point loss. There was more beyond the missed kicks that contributed to Sunday's loss, but the rookie placekicker should feel some heat this week.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Converts all five kicks in London

    Gano made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-22 win against the Packers in Week 5.

    Gano opened the scoring for New York with a 48-yarder in the first quarter. He added a 37-yard make in the third period and also converted all three of his extra-point attempts. Gano has gone 11-for-13 on field-goal tries and 8-for-8 on extra-point attempts so far this season for the surprising 4-1 Giants.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Posts 10 points in defeat

    Santos was perfect on three field-goal attempts in the Bears' 29-22 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

    After missing last week's game due to a personal matter, Santos produced his second consecutive 10-point game. Despite his recent success, the Bears are generally a low-volume offense, giving Santos a low-scoring floor that can materialize in any given week.

  • Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Makes six kicks in TD-fest

    Zuerlein made his only field-goal attempt from 34 yards out and all five of his PAT tries in Sunday's 40-17 win over the Dolphins.

    The Jets only settled for one field goal as Miami struggled to stop the run in close, allowing five rushing touchdowns to New York. Since starting quarterback Zach Wilson returned from a preseason knee injury, New York has gone 2-0 while scoring 32.0 points per game. Zuerlein has made both his field-goal attempts and eight PATs over that span.

  • Chargers' Dustin Hopkins: Not kicking in Week 5

    Hopkins (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Even though Hopkins was listed as questionable for Sunday's game, the writing was on the wall for him to sit out Week 5 after the Chargers elevated Taylor Bertolet from the practice squad Saturday. Bertolet will handle the kicking duties for the Chargers on Sunday, while Hopkins is sidelined for the first time this season due to the right quadriceps injury. Hopkins will look to increase his activity in practice during the upcoming week with the hope of returning to action Oct. 17 against the Broncos.

  • Eagles' Cameron Dicker: Added to active roster

    The Eagles elevated Dicker on Saturday from their practice squad to their active roster for Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals.

    As expected, Dicker will operate as the Eagles' placekicker for Week 5 after Jake Elliott (ankle) was ruled out. Dicker, an undrafted rookie out of Texas, has yet to attempt a kick in the NFL, but he did make 75.9 percent of his field goals and 98.1 percent of his PATs across four collegiate campaigns.

  • Mike Badgley K | BUF

    Lions' Michael Badgley: Elevated for Week 5

    The Lions elevated Badgley on Saturday from their practice squad to their active roster for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.

    Badgley, who made all four of his kicks while playing for Chicago in Week 4, was signed to the Lions' practice squad Tuesday after being let go by the Bears on Monday. He figures to serve as the primary placekicker for Detroit after the Lions waived Austin Seibert (groin) on Friday.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Out once again

    Butker (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Raiders.

    This comes as no surprise considering Butker was not able to practice all week. Expect Matthew Wright to once again taking over the kicking duties in a matchup that figures to have plenty of offense.
