Colts' Chase McLaughlin: Shifts back to practice squad
McLaughlin reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
McLaughlin will once again head down to Indianapolis' practice squad after serving as the team's starting kicker in Sunday's win over the Chiefs. Expect the Colts to exercise the 26-year-old's final practice-squad elevation ahead of Week 4's contest against the Titans.

Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Perfect in win
Pineiro made all three of his field-goal attempts as well as his only extra-point try in Sunday's 22-14 win over the Saints.
Pineiro converted from 45, 48 and 34 yards on his field goals, preserving his perfect record as a Panther. He now takes consecutive 10-point outings into Week 4's matchup versus the Cardinals.

Justin Tucker K | BAL
Ravens' Justin Tucker: Rare missed extra point Sunday
Tucker went 4-for-5 on extra-point attempts Sunday against the Patriots and converted a 56-yard field-goal attempt.
It was a surprise for Tucker to miss an extra point Sunday, though he did salvage his day from a fantasy perspective by hitting a 50-plus-yard field goal for the second week in a row. Tucker did not miss an extra point in 32 tries last season and hadn't missed one since Week 14 of 2020. Even with the rare miss Sunday, Tucker is tied for the league lead in extra points made and tied for second in the NFL in 50-yard field goals made. The Ravens host the Bills in Week 4.

Jake Elliott K | PHI
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Scores six points again
Elliott made his lone field-goal attempt and converted all three of his extra-point efforts in Sunday's win over Washington.
Elliott opened the scoring with a 32-yard kick early in the second quarter. The Eagles would add three more touchdowns that quarter, with Elliott adding a point each time. He's now 3-for-4 on field goals and 11-for-11 on extra points this season.

Jason Sanders K | MIA
Dolphins' Jason Sanders: No field-goal tries again
Sanders did not attempt a field goal during Sunday's 21-19 win over the Bills. He converted all three of his extra-point tries.
Sanders has now gone back-to-back weeks without a field-goal attempt. While that certainly won't be the norm for Sanders this season, it does leave the kicker as a low-floor fantasy option for Thursday's game against the Bengals. In Week 1 versus the Patriots, Sanders converted his pair of field-goal attempts.

Riley Patterson K | MIA
Jaguars' Riley Patterson: Perfect on six kicks
Patterson made all three field-goal attempts and all three PATs during Sunday's 38-10 win over the Chargers.
Patterson converted field goals of 22, 23 and 23 yards during the second quarter as the Jacksonville offense had some issues inside the 10-yard line. The 23-year-old has made three field goals in two of the first three games this season, and overall, he's 7-for-8 on field goals and 7-for-7 on extra points.

Nick Folk K | ATL
Patriots' Nick Folk: Eight points in Week 3
Folk made both of his field-goal attempts (including a 50-yarder) in Sunday's 37-26 loss to the Ravens en route to recording eight points.
Through three games this season, Folk has logged 14 points and the veteran kicker's fantasy upside in the coming weeks could take a hit if QB Mac Jones is forced to miss extended time with a high ankle sprain.

Chase McLaughlin K | TB
Colts' Chase McLaughlin: Perfect in victory
McLaughlin made both of his field-goal attempts and went 2-for-2 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-17 win versus the Chiefs.
McLaughlin was good from 43 yards and 51 yards in the victory while making both of his PATs. After he went without an attempt in Week 2, the kicker looked to be an upgrade over Rodrigo Blankenship in Week 3.

Greg Joseph K | LV
Vikings' Greg Joseph: Misses both field goals in Week 3
Joseph missed both of his field-goal attempts while going 4-for-4 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 28-24 victory over the Lions.
Joseph attempted two field goals from 56 yards in the contest, missing both of them. The 28-year-old has now gone 3-for-5 on field goals this season and 1-for-3 from 50 yards and longer. Joseph has yet to try a field goal from 30 to 49 yards this year, something that could change in Week 4 versus New Orleans.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Saints' Wil Lutz: Misses two field goals in loss
Lutz went 0-for-2 on field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries Sunday's 22-14 loss to the Panthers.
Lutz had his first field-goal attempt blocked right before halftime and later missed a 48-yard try in the third quarter. The kicker is now 3-for-6 on field goals this year while going 4-for-4 on PATs. The Saints' offense has only scored 24 points over the last two weeks, leaving Lutz with limited opportunities to produce for fantasy managers.
