  • Jake Bates K | DET

    Lions' Jake Bates: Limited by offensive explosion

    Bates didn't attempt a field goal and went 6-for-6 on extra point attempts in Monday's 42-29 win over the Seahawks.

    Bates went without a field-goal try for a second straight week as Detroit's offense never stalled out and scored six touchdowns in the contest. Through four games, the kicker has gone 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 11-for-12 on extra-point kicks.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Broncos' Wil Lutz: Makes one field goal in win

    Lutz made one of two field-goal attempts while converting his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 10-9 win over the Jets.

    Lutz's perfect streak on field goals came to an end Sunday when the veteran kicker missed a 50-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter. The 30-year-old did, however, connect on a field goal from 47 yards out with just under nine minutes left in the contest, which ended up sealing the victory for the Broncos. Despite a relatively quiet week, Lutz will look to be more involved in Week 5 when the Broncos host the Raiders.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Nails 52-yard field goal in win

    Carlson made both of his field-goal attempts and converted a pair of extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns.

    Carlson booted a 52-yarder through the uprights with less than three minutes remaining in the first half, improving to three of four on 50-plus yard attempts this season. Carlson carries the momentum from his eight-point effort into a Week 5 matchup on the road in the altitude against the Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High.

  • Matt Prater K | ARI

    Cardinals' Matt Prater: Makes both kicks in Week 4

    Prater connected on both point-after tries during Sunday's 42-14 defeat to the Commanders.

    Prater's game log remains pristine, as he's struck true on all 16 kicks (six FGAs, 10 PATs) through four contests. That said, Week 4 marked his first outing this season with no field-goal attempts, leaving Sunday's output much to be desired. Among kickers with at least three appearances on the campaign, Prater sits in a tie for 17th at 7.0 points per game with the Ravens' Justin Tucker, Raiders' Daniel Carlson and Patriots' Joey Slye.

  • Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Productive showing in Week 4 win

    McLaughlin connected on field-goal attempts from 21 and 52 yards and converted three of four extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 33-16 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

    McLaughlin recorded yet another one of his signature 50+ yard kicks and also made good on a chip shot, but he missed the first extra-point attempt of not just his season-plus Buccaneers, but since the 2021 campaign. Despite the exceedingly rare stumble, McLaughlin continues to be one of the most effective placekickers from both a real-word and fantasy perspective, as he's quickly amassed 31 points over four games.

  • Jake Moody K | SF

    49ers' Jake Moody: Healthy output in blowout win

    Moody went 3-for-3 on both field-goal attempts and point-after tries in Sunday's 30-13 win over New England.

    Moody got back on track with his strong start to the fantasy campaign after converting all of his kicks for 12 points on the heels of last week's mediocre effort. The 2023 third-round pick has nailed 11 of his 12 attempts from the field this season, chipping in 10 PATs for fantasy managers through four games. Moody makes for a great starting option heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Cardinals.

  • Joshua Karty K | LAR

    Rams' Joshua Karty: Logs first career missed FG

    Karty connected on four of five field-goal attempts during Sunday's 24-18 loss to Chicago.

    Karty's first NFL missed field goal was a 43-yard attempt that went wide left. Despite the miss, Karty was able to connect on his other four kicks, including a 52-yard attempt in the fourth quarter that made it a one-possession game. Through four games, Karty is 9-for-10 on field-goal attempts and connected on all six PAT's, and he's convincingly shored up the kicking job that was an area of frustration for the Rams last season. The Packers come to town for a Week 5 showdown before the Rams go on bye in Week 6.

  • Younghoe Koo K | ATL

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Busy day ends with game-winner

    Koo made both extra-point tries and all four field-goal attempts during Sunday's 26-24 win over the Saints.

    Coming into Sunday, Koo had attempted five field goals through three games, including only one attempt from beyond 40 yards. However, he was put to the test versus a division rival and rose to the occasion. Koo connected on four attempts beyond 40 on Sunday, including a career-high 58-yarder with two seconds left in the fourth quarter to give the Falcons the lead. Koo hasn't missed a kick this season and remains a strong play as long as Atlanta's offense can move the ball efficiently.

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Misses one in loss

    Bass made his lone extra-point try and one of his two field-goal attempts in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens.

    Bass's miss came in the fourth quarter from 48 yards out and was his second failed attempt on the season in eight tries. However, he was successful from 50 yards out earlier in the contest. He and the Bills will look to get back on track in Week 5 against the Texans.

  • Cam Little K | JAC

    Jaguars' Cam Little: Perfect in loss

    Little made both of his extra-point tries and field-goal attempts in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Texans.

    Little was good from 41 and 52 yards out, respectively, making him 6-for-7 on FGAs in his rookie campaign,. He's also 6-for-6 on PATs. Unfortunately for the Arkansas product, the Jaguars' offense has struggled moving the ball, leaving him few opportunities in the early stages of the 2024 campaign.
