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.

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.

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.

Zuerlein connected on all four of his field-goal attempts and his only extra point in Sunday's win over Washington.

The veteran kicker has been perfect the last two weeks after missing a FG and a PAT in a loss to the Raiders on Thanksgiving. Zuerlein has booted multiple field goals in four straight games and seven of his last eight, giving him a strong fantasy floor heading into a Week 15 tilt against the Giants.

Patterson converted his only field goal attempt and PAT during Sunday's loss to the Broncos.

With none of D'Andre Swift (shoulder), T.J. Hockenson (hand) or Jamaal Williams (COVID-19) available, the Lions offense had immense trouble moving the ball and Patterson subsequently had minimal opportunities to produce. However, no fantasy managers should have been starting Patterson anyway. That should remain the case in Week 15 against Arizona even if Detroit gets closer to full health.

Gano made his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 37-21 loss to the Chargers.

Gano made an extra-point try late in the first quarter of Sunday's matchup before the Chargers put up 30 unanswered points. As a result, the Giants went for the two-point conversion after each of their touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Although he saw limited work against the Chargers, he's attempted multiple field goals in four of the last seven games. During that time, he's made 13 of 15 field-goal attempts while converting all nine of his extra-point tries.

McPherson made three of four field-goal attempts while converting both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers.

McPherson converted both of his field-goal attempts in the first half of Sunday's matchup, but he missed a 46-yarder wide left late in the third quarter. In spite of Sunday's missed field-goal attempt, he's made multiple field goals in three of the last four games and has converted 10 of 11 field-goal attempts while making 10 of 12 extra-point tries during that time.

Gonzalez did not attempt a field goal but made all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Falcons.

Gonzalez again did all that was required of him, extending his streak to nine straight games without a miss. Although being limited to PATs restricted his production Sunday, Gonzalez's consistency has been impressive this season.

Myers connected on both of his field-goal attempts but made just one of three extra-point tries in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Texans.

Myers missed just one extra-point attempt before Week 14, but his kicking has been suspect this year. The 30-year-old has made 11 of 16 field-goal tries (69 percent), and he has converted just 50 percent of his kicks from beyond 40 yards. Myers doesn't attempt many kicks, so he's unreliable for fantasy purposes anyway.

Fairbairn converted two of two field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 33-13 loss to the Seahawks.

Fairbairn nailed a 21-yarder and then connected from 61 yards out as time ran out in the first half. The usually sure-footed kicker has been plagued by misses in 2021, but the long-distance kick is reminder of previous productive seasons when Houston's offense wasn't such a mess. Fairbairn has 40 points over 10 games this season.
