Bass made his only field-goal attempt and all four of his extra-point tries in Week 1's 31-10 win over the Rams.

Bass converted from 41 yards on his lone field goal, helping him total seven points to begin the campaign. As the kicker for one of the league's better offenses, Bass should have plenty of scoring opportunities this season.

Carlson buried both of his field-goal attempts and added one extra point in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Chargers.

Carlson's seven-point Week 1 performance was highlighted by a 55-yard field goal conversion late in the third quarter, improving to 11 of 12 on 50-plus yard attempts since the start of the 2020 season. The Raiders are now slated to host the Cardinals in a Week 2 matchup that could have the highest game total on the Sunday slate.

Tucker converted a 24-yard field goal attempt along with all three of his extra-point attempts Sunday against the Jets.

Coming off a contract extension, Tucker was automatic as usual in Sunday's season opener. He only had one field-goal attempt as Baltimore's offense was efficient in converting drives into touchdowns, but he knocked in every opportunity nonetheless. Baltimore returns home in Week 2 to host the Dolphins.

Maher reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Maher was limited to just one field-goal attempt after being elevated from Dallas' practice squad ahead of Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay. The 32-year-old will be available for two more such elevations before the team is forced to sign him to the active roster moving forward this season.

Butker (ankle) was estimated as a non-participant on Kansas City's injury report Monday, though the team did not formally practice, Matt McMullen of the team's official site reports.

Butker had to be carted off the field after he suffered an ankle injury on a kickoff during Sunday's season-opening win against the Cardinals. The 27-year-old was able to return for a successful 54-yard field-goal attempt just before the end of the first half, so it appears that this issue did not limit his overall kicking capabilities. If he is available heading into the team's Thursday night matchup against the Chargers, then Butker should reprise placekicking duties while likely either splitting or relinquishing kickoffs to safety Justin Reid, who stepped in as the team's emergency kicker while Butker was sidelined Sunday.

Sanders converted both of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries during Sunday's 20-9 win over New England.

Sanders is 100 percent through one game of the regular season, a notable outcome after his efficiency concerns in 2022. The fifth-year pro will look to keep the ship steady with a Week 2 matchup against Baltimore's stout defense.

Slye connected on both point-after tries during Sunday's 28-22 win against the Jaguars.

Slye didn't attempt a field goal during the season opener as Washington's offense was surprising efficient in the red zone. The Commanders also opted to go for two during their final two scoring drives, first to try and tie the game at 22 and then to push their lead to six late in the fourth quarter. Regardless, both decisions cost Slye valuable scoring opportunities. Washington's offense was solid in the opener, which should bode well for Slye's chances for a bounce-back performance moving forward.

Folk did not attempt a field goal and made his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 20-7 loss to the Dolphins.

Folk's 2022 season thus opens with a one-point effort, but the veteran kicker -- who racked up 150 points last season with the Patriots -- will no doubt see added scoring opportunities in the weeks ahead. Folk's fantasy ceiling, however, hinges on his team's offense picking up the pace, and starting QB Mac Jones in currently dealing with a back issue.

Lutz made two of three field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try during Sunday's 27-26 victory over the Falcons.

Lutz' first field-goal attempt -- 44-yarder in the first quarter -- hit the left upright and was no good, but he bounced back and made his next two field goals. His first make was a 49-yard attempt in the third quarter that cut Atlanta's advantage to 16-10, and he gave the Saints' a one-point lead after drilling a 51-yard field goal with 30 seconds left in regulation. Lutz underwent core-muscle surgery in August 2021 that kept him sidelined for the entire campaign, but he looks to have shaken off the rust after missing his first kick of the 2022 season.

Joseph made all three field-goal attempts and both point-after tries during Sunday's 23-7 victory over the Packers.

Joseph made field goals from 28, 29 and 56 yards during the Vikings' blowout win over the Packers. The fifth-year kicker appeared in all 17 games for the Vikings last year and went 33-for-38 on field-goal attempts and 36-for-40 on extra-point tries. He figures to garner a similar workload in 2022, though Minnesota's new offensive scheme could increase Joseph's opportunities moving forward.
