  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Limited at practice

    Folk (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice Tuesday.

    Folk has been a regular on the injury report this year, but he has suited up for every game. Barring any type of news regarding a setback, he should be expected to play Saturday night. The veteran is a perfect 28-for-28 on field-goal attempts under 50 yards this season.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Racking up kicks

    Butker converted both of his field-goal attempts and all six of his extra-point tries in Sunday's blowout win over the Raiders.

    Butker's fantasy value greatly benefits from the Chiefs' recent offensive surge, as he's attempted a combined 13 kicks over the past two games and 26 over the past four. The Chiefs seem to be peaking at the right time for fantasy managers and the team alike, with fantasy playoffs kicking off this week in many leagues and the NFL's playoffs only five weeks away.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Continues strong season

    Tucker was 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and converted his lone extra-point attempt Sunday against the Browns.

    The star kicker continues to be automatic and has now made at least three field goals in three of his last four games. Tucker now ranks third in the NFL in made field goals (28) and second in field goal percentage (93.3) on the year. Baltimore hosts Green Bay in Week 15.

  • Broncos' Brandon McManus: Makes one field goal

    McManus connected on his only field-goal attempt, while making all five of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Lions.

    McManus converted his lone field-goal attempt from 52 yards Sunday. Denver's offense dominated the Lions' defense, as the team was able to find the end zone five different times in the contest. Their ability to convert in scoring position limited the veteran kicker's ability to have a larger day with more field goal attempts. McManus and the Broncos will host the Bengals in Week 15.

  • Chargers' Dustin Hopkins: Perfect day in win

    Hopkins made all three of his field-goal attempts along with all four of his extra points in Sunday's 37-21 win over New York.

    After two Chargers offensive drives stalled in the red zone, Hopkins was able to drill a pair of chip-shot field goals. In addition, the veteran kicker was able to convert on a 39-yard field goal which extended the Chargers lead to 30-7. Since joining Los Angeles, Hopkins has converted on 12 of 13 field-goal attempts and 19 of 21 extra points, making him a valuable kicker in most fantasy leagues.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Rams' Matt Gay: Turns in another solid showing

    Gay connected on three field-goal kicks and three extra-point attempts during Monday's 30-23 win over Arizona.

    It's been an impressive run for the third-year kicker, as Gay hasn't missed a kick in eight games. Additionally, he's now hit 26 of 27 field-goal kicks and 38 of 39 extra-point attempts for the campaign. Those are high-end numbers in most settings, and Gay should remain a solid fantasy option.

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Flawless in tight loss

    Bass made both of his field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries during Sunday's overtime loss to the Buccaneers.

    Bass's nine points were the most he's put up since Week 10, as he was needed often during the Bills' second-half scoring surge. Bass now sits in a tie for fifth among NFL kickers with 107 points on the season. While he kicks for a bad weather team that has three home games left on the slate, that's likely offset by the team's ease of schedule, as Buffalo faces Carolina, Atlanta and the Jets in three of the final four weeks.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYG

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Perfect once again

    Koo made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 29-21 win over the Panthers.

    After nailing his first two extra points, Koo gave the Falcons a 17-7 lead in the second quarter by connecting on a 32-yard field-goal attempt. He then capped off Atlanta's nine-play, 55-yard drive to start the second half with a 38-yard field goal. Two offensive possessions later, Koo expanded the lead to 29-14 by making a 48-yarder with six minutes to go in the fourth quarter. When Atlanta is able to move the ball, Koo can stack up points quickly, but that just hasn't consistently been the case this season. While he remains hindered by the Falcons' offensive struggles, but he continues to be one of the most consistent kickers in the league.

  • Browns' Chase McLaughlin: Keeping job for now

    McLaughlin will remain the Browns' kicker according to head coach Kevin Stefanski, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    McLaughlin started the season strong, making his first nine field-goal attempts on the year. Since then, he has made just five of 11 attempts, bringing his success rate down to 75 percent on the season. If his woes continue, it seems unlikely he'll retain his coach's confidence for much longer.

  • Jaguars' Matthew Wright: No opportunities Week 14

    Wright didn't attempt a kick during Sunday's 20-0 loss to the Titans.

    Wright delivered the opening kickoff but never took the field again Sunday, as Jacksonville's offense mustered only 192 yards and had four turnovers. The 25-year-old has one successful PAT and zero field-goal attempts over the past two games.
