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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Santos connected on both of his field-goal attempts in the Bears' 29-3 win over the Giants on Sunday.

This was just the third time over the last seven games in which Santos has made multiple field goals, and the frequency of his low-scoring games will make him a risky lineup option in Week 18 against the Vikings.

Folk (knee) will play Sunday against the Jaguars.

Folk has been on the injury report with the knee issue for most of the season, but he's yet to miss a game. That won't change Sunday, as Folk will handle kicking duties Sunday against Jacksonville.

Slye will serve as Washington's kicker Sunday versus the Eagles.

Washington currently has two kickers on the active roster, and for a second consecutive game, Slye is getting the nod over Brian Johnson, who is inactive. In his first game action last Sunday since Week 12, Slye didn't see much work in a 56-14 loss at Dallas, making both extra points and not getting a chance at a field-goal attempt. He'll aim for a more fruitful performance in Week 17.

Hopkins (illness) was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.

Hopkins needed just four days to be activated off the list, just in time to take part in the Chargers' pivotal contest against the Broncos on Sunday. The veteran kicker has been a consistent option since joining the team back in October, missing just one field goal across 16 attempts.

Folk (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Folk has been present on New England's injury reports with the knee issue most of the season, but he's been available for all 15 games so far. The 37-year-old should be expected to kick again for the Patriots this weekend, barring a setback.
