The Chiefs have elevated Wright from their practice squad ahead of Monday night's game against the Raiders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

With Harrison Butker out due to a left ankle injury, Wright is slated to handle the team's kicking duties for the second game in a row. In Kansas City's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers in Week 4, Wright made both of his field-goal attempts en route to recording 11 points.

Sanders converted one of two field-goal tries and both extra-point attempts during Sunday's 40-17 loss to the Jets.

Sanders can't be trusted to receive significant opportunities with a third-string quarterback under center, and it could fall to Skylar Thompson to make another start Week 6 if neither Tua Tagovailoa or Teddy Bridgewater can clear the concussion protocol. Sanders has now missed from 50-plus yards out in back-to-back weeks.

Slye converted on his only field-goal attempt and both of his two point-after tries during Washington's 21-17 loss versus Tennessee on Sunday.

Slye made a 50-yarder in the first quarter, but he didn't see another field-goal opportunity the rest of the game. He's been incredibly efficient of late, converting on 14-of-14 attempts over his last 11 games with the Commanders, but that hasn't returned great fantasy results as Washington's offense continues to sputter. With a Thursday night game in Chicago on tap for Week 6, Slye is a still poor option for fantasy managers.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
