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.

Hopkins (quadriceps) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's contest against the Chargers.

Hopkins finally managed to log a full practice after weeks of limited participation. The veteran will now take over for Taylor Bertolet, who connected on three field goals in his lone stint as the replacement for Hopkins.

Hopkins (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Hopkins has yet to upgrade to full practice participation since coming out of the Chargers' Week 4 win over the Texans with the right quad injury. He wasn't able to play in last week's win over the Browns, and Hopkins may need to turn in a full practice Saturday for the Chargers to feel comfortable having him handle kicking duties Monday against the Broncos. If Hopkins ends up missing another game, Taylor Bertolet will likely be elevated from the practice squad to fill in at kicker once again.

Elliott (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Cameron Dicker filled in admirably last week, but the Eagles nonetheless will be happy to get their kicker back in the lineup ahead of this battle between NFC East contenders. While his career track record isn't great, Elliott had his best season in 2021 and now finds himself attached to one of the best offenses in the league, providing a steady volume of extra points (14 attempts in four games) but not as many field-goal tries (five) so far.

Butker (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Bills.

As expected, Butker will be available Week 6 for the first time since spraining his ankle in the season opener. The Chiefs scored 42 points in an overtime win the last time these teams met in the 2021 postseason, so Butker should get plenty of opportunities during his first game back following a four-game absence.
