Graham Gano K | NYG
Giants' Graham Gano: Limited to one kick in loss
Gano made his lone field-goal attempt in Sunday's 29-3 loss to the Bears.
Gano hasn't missed a kick since Week 13. The problem is that he's only seen four field-goal and two extra-point tries in that four-game span.

Rams' Matt Gay: First field-goal miss since Week 4
Gay connected on two extra-point kicks but missed a 56-yard field-goal attempt during the first quarter of Sunday's 20-19 win over Baltimore.
This was Gay's weakest showing of the year, and it unfortunately came at a tough time in the fantasy schedule. He's a bounce-back candidate in Week 18 against San Francisco and should be a serviceable contributor for the duration of Los Angeles' playoff run.

Vikings' Greg Joseph: Converts 51-yard cold field goal
Joseph converted his only field-goal attempt from 51 yards and made his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's loss at Green Bay.
Joseph's 51-yard field goal in 10-degree weather (the longest in January in Lambeau Field history) may have been Minnesota's lone highlight on offense. Joseph should get more opportunities Week 18 against Chicago.

Patriots' Nick Folk: Eight points in Week 17
Folk made his only field-goal attempt (from 43 yards) in Sunday's 50-10 win over the Jaguars.
In the process, Folk, who hit five of his six extra-point tries, recorded eight points, bringing his 16-game total to a fantasy-friendly 144 points. Though the veteran kicker continues to manage a knee issue, his status for the Patriots' Week 18 game against the Dolphins is not in doubt.

Mike Badgley K | BUF
Colts' Michael Badgley: Converts all four kicks
Badgley converted both field-goal attempts from 41 and 46 yards and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's loss to Las Vegas.
Badgley had missed a field goal in each of his last three games, so this was a nice bounce-back outing.

Jason Myers K | SEA
Seahawks' Jason Myers: Knocks home nine kicks
Myers made all three field-goal attempts and all six extra-point tries in Sunday's 51-29 win over the Lions.
Myers made field goals from 51, 42 and 36 yards in his best game of the season. The 30-year-old has had a tough campaign, making 13 of 19 field goals leading up to Week 17, so this game could help his chances to stick with the Seahawks in 2022. If the Seahawks decide to move on, they'll save $4 million against the salary cap.

Ka'imi Fairbairn K | HOU
Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Misses lone FGA
Fairbairn was unsuccessful on his lone field-goal attempt and converted his only extra-point kick in Sunday's 23-7 loss to San Francisco.
Fairbairn was wide left on a 45-yard attempt early in the fourth quarter, which could have tied the game had he converted. With a short field, San Francisco made it a two-score game just four plays later. Houston's offense staggered through much of Sunday's contest, so the miss was a pivotal swing. Fairbairn has made 14 of 18 field-goal kicks and two of four from 40-49 yards this season.

Jason Sanders K | MIA
Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Only scorer in convincing loss
Sanders converted one of two field-goal attempts during Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Titans.
Sanders has now missed a kick in back-to-back games, though Sunday's failed conversion came from over 50 yards out. The placekicker accounted for all of Miami's points in Week 17's blowout loss, but the script of the game resulted in very few scoring opportunities. Sanders faces another tough matchup to close out the regular season, with the Dolphins hosting the Patriots in Week 18.
-
Matthew Wright K | HOU
Jaguars' Matthew Wright: Makes both kicks in blowout
Wright made his lone field-goal attempt and his lone PAT during Sunday's 50-10 loss at New England.
Jacksonville's offense managed only 11 first downs, so Wright once again had limited opportunities in the kicking game. He missed his first field goal of the season but is 16-for-18 on field goals over the past 10 games. Despite not missing a field goal since Week 10, Wright won't be on the fantasy radar for the final game of the regular season given the offense's struggles.

Eddy Pineiro K | SF
Jets' Eddy Pineiro: Continues to play well with Jets
Pineiro converted a 51-yard field-goal attempt and all three of his PAT attempts in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Buccaneers.
Pineiro has made all seven of his field-goal attempts in four games with the Jets heading into next week's season finale against Buffalo. New York chose not to give him another opportunity in scoring range late, instead opting to go for it on 4th-and-2 with a four-point lead in an attempt to put the game away. The decision backfired, as the Buccaneers got the stop and then drove it down the other way for the game-winning touchdown.
