Jake Moody K | WAS
Commanders' Jake Moody: Joining Commanders
The Commanders will sign Moody off the Bears' practice squad Monday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Moody, who was a third-round pick of the 49ers in 2023, kicked for San Francisco in Week 1 and Chicago in Weeks 6 and 7, combining to make nine of his 12 field-goal tries and all five of his extra-point attempts in that span. The 25-year-old now is slated to take over Washington's kicking duties after the Commanders waived Matt Gay on Monday.

Eddy Pineiro K | SF
49ers' Eddy Pineiro: Viewed as week-to-week
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Pineiro (hamstring) is considered week-to-week, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
Pineiro has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain after he was injured in the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Cardinals. San Francisco doesn't currently employ another kicker on the active roster or practice squad, so the team will likely need to make a move at the position before next Monday night's game against the Panthers.

Jake Bates K | DET
Lions' Jake Bates: Makes only FGA in loss
Bates made his only field-goal try and missed his only PAT in Sunday night's 16-9 loss to the Eagles.
Bates had a mixed bag of a performance in Week 11. He missed an extra-point attempt for the second week in a row, albeit from 48 yards, after wide receiver Jameson Williams was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct following a touchdown in the second quarter. The kicker was able to connect on a 54-yard field goal in the fourth quarter however, notching his first make from 50-plus yards since Week 7. Bates has now gone 13-for-17 on field-goal attempts, including 3-for-6 from 50-plus yards, while making 33 of 35 extra-point tries over 10 games this year.

Jake Elliott K | PHI
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Makes three FGAs in win
Elliott went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made his only PAT in Sunday night's 16-9 win over the Lions.
Elliott was able to convert field goals from 27 and 34 yards in the first half before later adding a 49-yard make in the fourth quarter. The three field goals were a season high for the kicker, and the performance marked his first contest since Week 2 that he made multiple field goals. Elliott has now made 11 of 13 field-goal tries over 10 games this season.

Lucas Havrisik K | GB
Packers' Lucas Havrisik: Shaky performance in win
Havrisik did not attempt a field goal and went 1-for-3 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Giants.
Havrisik was called upon to make a start in place on Brandon McManus (right quadriceps) in Week 11, and he didn't necessarily have a great day. The kicker missed PATs in both the second and third quarters, with the misses at least likely in part due to the windy conditions at the Meadowlands. Havrisik had gone a perfect 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and 6-for-6 on extra-point tries over two starts with Green Bay earlier this year, and if McManus remains out, he has a shot to get back on track in Week 12 versus the Vikings.

Younghoe Koo K | NYG
Giants' Younghoe Koo: No FGAs in defeat
Koo did not attempt a field goal and went 2-for-3 on PATs in Sunday's 27-20 loss to Green Bay.
Koo went without a field-goal try in his second start with the Giants, and he did miss an extra-point attempt for the first time in three games this season. The kicker has now gone 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts while making four of five PATs over two contests with New York. With Graham Gano (neck) done for the year, Koo has a straightforward path to consistent work for the remainder of the season.

Evan McPherson K | CIN
Bengals' Evan McPherson: Makes pair of FGs in loss
McPherson converted both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 34-12 loss to the Steelers.
McPherson's field goals came from 43 and 48 yards, and through 10 games this season, McPherson has made 15 of 18 field goals and all 23 of his extra points. Kicking in Cincinnati's offense, McPherson is an attractive fantasy option at the position.
-
Harrison Mevis K | LAR
Rams' Harrison Mevis: No FGAs in win
Mevis did not attempt a field goal and made all three of his PATs in Sunday's 21-19 win over the Seahawks.
Mevis was once again unable to try a field goal in Week 11, marking the second consecutive game that he's failed to do so as the Rams' kicker. The 23-year-old has been operating ahead of Joshua Karty with Los Angeles, and Mevis can be elevated one more time before the team would have to officially sign him to the active roster. Mevis has done nothing to lose the job to this point, making all nine of his extra-point tries over two contests.

Chad Ryland K | ARI
Cardinals' Chad Ryland: Converts one field goal in loss
Ryland went 1-for-2 on field-goal tries and made his only PAT in Sunday's 41-22 loss to the 49ers.
Ryland pushed a 58-yard attempt wide left in the first quarter before later connecting on a 26-yard try in the second. The kicker has now gone back-to-back weeks without making multiple field goals for the first time this season. Ryland has now gone 16-for-19 on field-goal attempts while making all 22 of his PATs over 10 contests this year.

Cam Little K | JAC
Jaguars' Cam Little: Makes five PATs in win
Little did not attempt a field goal and went 5-for-5 on PATs in Sunday's 35-6 win over the Chargers.
Little was held without a field-goal try for the first time this year, but his five extra-point makes were a new season high for the kicker. Little has now gone 16-for-20 on field-goal attempts, including 3-for-5 from 50-plus yards, while making 24 of 25 PATs over 10 games.
