Elliott made one of his two field-goal attempts and converted all three of his extra-point tries in Monday's win against the Vikings.

Elliott's lone miss didn't seem to be his fault, as Patrick Peterson came around the edge almost untouched to block his 41-yard attempt late in the third quarter. Elliott converted a 38-yarder late in the second quarter, meaning he's now 2-for-3 on the year to go with 8-for-8 on extra points.

Bass made both of his field-goal tries and all five extra-point attempts during Monday's 41-7 win over the Titans.

Through two weeks, Bass has posted 18 points, good for a tie for fifth among kickers. Given that he's in a high-powered offense, there's little reason Bass shouldn't be a top-10 guy all season, which is exactly where he was drafted in fantasy leagues. Bass has made all 12 of his kicks this season, which consists of three field goals and nine extra points. He and the Bills get the Dolphins in Miami this week in what could be a high-scoring contest.

Tucker converted all five of his extra-point attempts Sunday against the Dolphins and made a 51-yard field goal in the loss.

Through two weeks, Tucker has attempted (and converted) just two field goals. The Ravens offense had success finding the end zone in Week 2, though, so Tucker was able to bolster his fantasy production with five extra points. Baltimore travels to New England in Week 3 in what projects to be a much lower-scoring game than the one the team found itself in Sunday.

Pineiro made all three of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Giants.

Pineiro converted from 31, 32 and 38 yards on his three field goals. In adding a PAT as well, the veteran kicker notched double-digit points, bringing his season total to 16 through two games.

Prater made his only point-after try but didn't attempt a field goal during Sunday's 29-23 overtime victory in Las Vegas.

The Cardinals have opened the campaign with 50 points combined between Weeks 1 and 2, but Prater has accounted for only two of them. In fact, he's posted the exact same stat line in those outings. Prater has been a victim of disjointed and comeback efforts so far, as Arizona has attempted two-point conversions on four of seven touchdowns to date (and didn't need an extra point following Sunday's game-ending fumble return TD). FGAs and more PATs will come as the season wears on, but for the time being it's tough to rely on Prater.

Koo made one of two field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Rams.

After the Falcons moved the ball down the field on their opening drive, Koo lost the momentum by missing a 44-yard field goal wide left. He bounced back in the second by connecting on a 26-yard chip shot and made both of his extra-point tries in the second half, but his overall production was disappointing for fantasy mangers after his huge performance in Week 1. Regardless, Koo figures to be a solid option moving forward, as Atlanta's offense appears to be better than initially anticipated.

McPherson converted all three of his field-goal tries and did not record an extra-point attempt during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys.

McPherson followed up his bumpy Week 1 performance against the Steelers with a return to form during this perfect outing against the Cowboys in Week 3. The second-year kicker kept Cincinnati's struggling offense in the game against Dallas, as he made field goals of 43, 50 and 46 yards through the first three quarters of Sunday's loss. McPherson's flawless kicking performance also helped allow quarterback Joe Burrow the opportunity to tie the game at 17-17 with a touchdown pass followed by a two-point conversion late in the fourth quarter. While the kicker did not get a chance to ultimately win the game, his three made field goals of 40 yards or longer are an encouraging sign for performance moving forward this season.

McLaughlin reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

McLaughlin did not get a chance to attempt a field goal or extra point after being promoted to Indianapolis' active roster ahead of Sunday's 24-0 loss to Jacksonville. The 26-year-old signed with the Colts' practice squad along with Lucas Havrisik last Tuesday after the team waived previous starting kicker Rodrigo Blankenship. McLaughlin's move up to the active roster appears to indicate that he will likely see two more gameday elevations as the team's presumptive top kicking option over the next two weeks.

Gano made all four of his field-goal attempts as well as his only extra-point try in Sunday's 19-16 win over Carolina.

Gano's kicking keyed New York's second straight victory to begin the season, as he accounted for 13 of the team's 19 points. The veteran converted relatively easy attempts from 36 and 31 yards out in the first quarter before nailing a 51-yarder near the start of the fourth quarter. He punctuated the big day with a clutch 56-yard make that put the Giants ahead for good with under four minutes to play. Gano made a career-high seven field goals from 50-plus yards last season, and he's off to a great start in 2022.

McLaughlin did not attempt any point-after tries or field goals during Indianapolis' 24-0 loss at Jacksonville on Sunday.

Apart from sending the second-half kickoff into the end zone for a touchback, McLaughlin did nothing in a game where the Colts came in as road favorites and then got shut out by 2022 first-rounder Devin Lloyd and company. McLaughlin is looking for an opportunity to bounce back after converting on just 71.4 percent of his field-goal tries last season, but he'll need Jonathan Taylor and Matt Ryan to get the team into field-goal range first. Perhaps some home cooking will help, as Indianapolis will host Kansas City in Week 3.
