Matthew Wright K | HOU
Jaguars' Matthew Wright: Converts only PAT
Wright made his lone extra-point attempt and did not attempt a field goal during Sunday's 37-7 loss to the Rams.
Wright received only a single opportunity to kick Sunday as Jacksonville's offense mustered only 3.6 yards per play. The 25-year-old simply doesn't see enough scoring opportunities to warrant fantasy consideration.

Matt Gay K | SF
Rams' Matt Gay: Huge showing in blowout win
Gay hit all three of his field-goal kicks and four extra-point attempts during Sunday's 37-7 win over Jacksonville.
This was a get-right spot for the Los Angeles offense, and the Rams racking up 37 points was a huge boon to Gay's fantasy results. He's been next to automatic this season, connecting on 23 of 24 field-goal kicks and 35 of 36 extra-point attempts. Expect Gay to remain a solid contributor moving forward.

Evan McPherson K | CIN
Bengals' Evan McPherson: Drills two kicks Sunday
McPherson made his lone field-goal attempt and converted one of two extra-point tries in Sunday's 41-22 loss to the Chargers.
McPherson missed a PAT wide right midway through the second quarter Sunday, but he bounced back by making both of his subsequent kicks. Although the 22-year-old has been perfect on his field-goal attempts in the three games since Cincinnati's Week 10 bye, he's missed two extra-point tries across that span. McPherson has converted all seven of his field-goal attempts while making eight of 10 extra-point tries during that time.

Jake Elliott K | PHI
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Busy against Jets
Elliott converted all four of his field-goal attempts while making all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 33-18 win over the Jets.
Elliott was held without a field-goal attempt in last week's loss to the Giants, but he saw plenty of work in Week 13. The 26-year-old has made at least three field goals in four of the last six games, and he's converted all 15 of his field-goal attempts and all 19 of his extra-point tries during that time.

Graham Gano K | NYG
Giants' Graham Gano: Makes three field goals Sunday
Gano converted three of four field-goal attempts during Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Dolphins.
The Giants failed to generate much offensive production in Sunday's matchup, but Gano gave the team the lead with a 39-yard field goal in the second quarter. He also made his first two field-goal attempts in the second half, but he missed a 56-yard attempt late in the fourth quarter that would have brought the deficit within one possession. Since the Giants' Week 10 bye, Gano has made six of eight field-goal attempts while converting both of his extra-point tries.

Chris Boswell K | PIT
Steelers' Chris Boswell: Makes two field goals Sunday
Boswell made both of his field-goal attempts while failing to convert his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Ravens.
Boswell was responsible for the Steelers' only first-half points Sunday by making a 53-yard field goal shortly before halftime, but he missed an extra-point try early in the fourth quarter that would have tied the game. However, the 30-year-old bounced back by making a 43-yard field goal later in the quarter. Boswell has now made multiple field goals in four of the last five games and has converted all 12 of his field-goal attempts while making eight of 10 extra-point tries during that time.

Ka'imi Fairbairn K | HOU
Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Little work in loss
Fairbairn did not have any scoring attempts in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Colts.
The Texans entered Indianapolis' side of the field on just two of 11 drives, both times in the fourth quarter, and Houston was not in position to kick field goals. It was the second time this season that Fairbairn was on the field for just one snap.

Cairo Santos K | CHI
Bears' Cairo Santos: Scores two points
Santos converted two extra-point attempts in the Bears' 33-22 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.
Although Santos has scored two or fewer points in two of his last three games, he also has scored at least nine points in three of his last five contests. Overall, his volatility makes him a tough player to trust in weekly fantasy lineups.
