Maher made four of four field-goal attempts but missed his lone PAT during Sunday's 18-10 win over Carolina.

Maher has been one of the most active kickers in the league since Taysom Hill has taken over at QB. In four games with Hill as the starter, Maher has averaged three field-goal attempts per game with his only miss coming from beyond 50 yards. While he's now 7-for-9 on PATs through nine games, those blemishes can largely be overlooked given his otherwise perfect performance on short-to-mid range kicks. The Nebraska product will look to keep the good times rolling when New Orleans travels to Atlanta in Week 18.

Koo connected on both of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try during Sunday's 29-15 loss to the Bills.

Koo capped off a 10-play, 65-yard drive with a 28-yard chip shot to the cut the Bills' lead to 14-5 with 10 minutes left to go in the second quarter. He also added a 24-yarder as time expired in the first half to give the Falcons a 15-14 lead going into halftime. Snowy conditions and Atlanta's sporadic offense once again diminished Koo's fantasy potential, but he hasn't missed a kick since Week 11 and remains one of the most accurate and reliable kickers in the league.

Slye made all three of his field-goal attempts as well as his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles.

Slye continues to be perfect on his field-goal tries for Washington. He's made all nine of his attempts in five games while missing just one of nine extra-point opportunities.

McPherson made both of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Chiefs.

With the Bengals offense chugging along once again, McPherson had plenty of work to do, although it mostly came after touchdowns. His 20-yard kick to win it as time expired was among the easiest he's ever had in terms of distance while simultaneously being probably the most pressure-packed in terms of importance. The rookie has now put up at least nine points in four straight games.

Patterson missed his lone field-goal attempt but made three of three PATs during Sunday's 51-29 loss to Seattle.

Patterson's one chance at avoiding a dud performance fell short of the crossbar on a 55-yard attempt at the end of the first half. The only opportunities he otherwise saw came on extra points, and he was even robbed of one of those when the Lions went for two at one point. While Patterson has flexed some interesting upside in recent weeks, the Lions offense could remain particularly untrustworthy in Week 18 against Green Bay if starting QB Jared Goff (knee) remains sidelined.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
