  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Knocks home five kicks

    Myers made all three field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Falcons.

    All three of Myers' field goals came within 32 yards. Last season, Myers hit three field goals in a game just once. The Seahawks' offense shouldn't make anyone optimistic about Myers, but it's worth noting that his next two games are in dome environments of Detroit and New Orleans.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Remains perfect

    Fairbairn converted two of two field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bears in Week 3.

    Fairbairn connected from 39 and 23 yards and remains perfect for the season on all kicks. He's tied with Cleveland's Cade York for sixth among placekickers with 25 points through three weeks.

  • Chargers' Dustin Hopkins: Hits short field goal

    Hopkins made his only field-goal attempt and extra-point attempt in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Jaguars.

    Hopkins has yet to make a field goal beyond 31 yards, but the Chargers have either been incredibly efficient offensively or completely non-existent, which was the case Sunday. Expect more kicking opportunities in what should be a high-scoring Week 4 matchup against the Texans.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Scores 11 points

    Santos was perfect on three field-goal attempts in the Bears' 23-20 win over the Texans on Sunday.

    Santos attempted just one field goal over the Bears' first two games of the season, totaling five points over those contests. His double-digit performance shows his potential upside, but with the Bears having consistent struggles on offense, Santos is difficult to trust as a reliable fantasy option.

  • Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Busy and effective in Week 3

    Zuerlein made all four of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 27-12 loss to Cincinnati.

    New York moved the ball well but couldn't get into the end zone, settling for field goals of 50, 40, 52 and 43 yards. If Zuerlein can continue to convert reliably from 50-plus yards, he should have some sneaky fantasy value on a Jets offense with enough playmakers to get into scoring range.

  • Colts' Chase McLaughlin: Called up again

    McLaughlin was elevated to the active roster Saturday, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

    McLaughlin was elevated for a second consecutive week. The veteran didn't attempt any kicks in what was a blowout Week 2 loss. There should be more opportunities this week against the Chiefs.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Ruled out for Week 3

    Butker (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Colts, Adam Teicher of ESPN reports.

    Butker will miss a second consecutive game as a result of the ankle injury he sustained during Kansas City's season opener. Matt Ammendola filled in for Butker in Week 2 and should continue to do so against Indianapolis. Butker's next chance to play will come Week 4 against Tampa Bay.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Misses 49-yard attempt in loss

    Boswell made one of two field-goal attempts while converting both of his extra-point tries during the Steelers' 29-17 loss to Cleveland on Thursday.

    Boswell was perfect on two field-goal attempts last week, but he missed a 49-yard attempt wide right during the first quarter of Thursday's primetime matchup. Although the 31-year-old has made just six of eight field-goal attempts over the first three weeks of the season, he's had plenty of long-range work since the Steelers' offense hasn't been particularly efficient.

  • Cade York K | NYJ

    Browns' Cade York: Misses another extra point

    York converted his lone field-goal attempt and two of three extra-point tries in Thursday's 29-17 win over Pittsburgh in Week 3.

    York's miss clanged off the upright and was his second in as many weeks. His miss last week was not the sole reason for Week 2's loss to the Jets, but it was part of a team-wide collapse. The rookie kicker was not given a chance for a second field goal just before halftime, when the Browns decided to go for it on 4th-and-2 at the Pittsburgh 31. York has 27 points through three games.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: DNP on Thursday

    Butker (ankle) will not practice Thursday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

    Butker will miss a second straight day of practice having sat out Wednesday as well. The kicker's status for Week 3 against the Colts remains up in the air, as he appears to be a firm questionable for the contest. If he is unable to play, Matt Ammendola should handle kicking duties once again.
