Folk made one of his two field-goal attempts in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Steelers en route to recording five points.

Folk, whose miss in the contest was a 52-yard attempt, now has just six points through New England's first two games. Chances are, he'll pick up the pace as the season progresses, but the veteran kicker's fantasy ceiling hinges on more consistent efforts from the team's QB Mac Jones-helmed offense.

Zuerlein made his only field-goal attempt from 57 yards and converted all four of his PAT tries in Sunday's 31-30 win over Cleveland.

A questionable holding penalty on the final play of the third quarter backed the Jets up to the edge of field-goal range, but Zuerlein hit the game-tying field goal from 57 yards in the first minute of the fourth. He also made every PAT, which proved crucial in a game the Jets won by one point thanks in part to a missed Browns PAT. After a shaky New York debut, Zuerlein earned himself some more job security with this outing.

Sanders converted all six of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 42-38 win over the Ravens.

The Dolphins began Week 2 immediately facing a deficit due to a kick-return touchdown by Devin Duvernay (concussion), and the game script only got worse from there. As such, the team never had a real chance to settle for field goals, but Sanders did avoid making any mistakes handling point-after tries. He hasn't yet missed a kick and will look to remain perfect versus Buffalo in Week 3.

Maher connected on both his extra-point attempts and both his field-goal attempts Sunday, including a 50-yarder as time expired in a 20-17 win over the Bengals.

The 32-year-old was good from 54 yards out just before halftime, giving him a dress rehearsal for his game-winning kick at the end of the fourth quarter. Maher is off to a solid start to the season in his third stint with the Cowboys and has yet to miss a kick through two games, although his volume could remain volatile with backup QB Cooper Rush under center and the team dealing with an all-around underperforming offense.

Myers made his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 27-7 loss to the 49ers.

The Seahawks' offense generated 216 total yards, so it's not surprising that Myers had little impact Sunday. He should have more of an impact in Week 3 against the Falcons. He's still not dependable for fantasy purposes.

Fairbairn made three of three field-goal attempts and was not required to kick an extra point in Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Broncos in Week 2.

Fairbairn made kicks of 44, 40 and 24 yards and has been successful on all five FG attempts in 2022. The Texans have just two red-zone appearances over the first two weeks, which suggests it could be a busy season for Fairbairn. He has 17 points through two weeks, ranking seventh among placekickers.

York made his lone field-goal attempt and three of four extra-point kicks in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Jets in Week 2.

While the margin of defeat comes down to the missed extra-point attempt, the Browns' loss was a team-wide breakdown in all phases of the game. York's missed kick left the Browns with a 30-17 lead with 1:55 left, and New York had no timeouts left. The Jets needed a defensive breakdown and the special teams' inability to recover an onside kick. That all happened after coaches failed to instruct the offense to not score if the opportunity presented itself. Instead, Nick Chubb did not kneel down before the end zone and scored a touchdown. Had he taken a knee, the Browns could have run out the clock with a 24-17 win. The missed kick was York's first in the regular season, but the rookie has been very good since he arrived in camp, including the winning 58-yard boot in Week 1.

Santos made his only field-goal attempt in the Bears' 27-10 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Santos has five points through two games, and with the Bears potentially having a low-volume offense this season, the kicker may also have limited scoring potential.

Gay connected on his only field-goal attempt and made all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 31-27 win over the Falcons.

Gay was busy early, as the Rams scored a touchdown on four of their first five drives. After that, he saw the field just once more, booting a chip shot 20-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. The Rams offense, which struggled heavily in the season opener against the Bills, rebounded well against the Falcons, and Gay will look to continue to contribute in a Week 3 matchup against the Cardinals.

McLaughlin was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The Colts waived Rodrigo Blankenship on Tuesday, opening the door for one of McLaughlin or Lucas Havrisik to earn the kicking job. The veteran McLaughlin will now have officially joined his seventh NFL team since entering the NFL back in 2019.
