Greg Zuerlein K | NYJ
Cowboys' Greg Zuerlein: Misses two kicks
Zuerlein missed one of three field-goal attempts and one of two extra-point tries in Week 12's 36-33 overtime loss to the Raiders.
Zuerlein went wide left on his first PAT, then hit the left upright with a 59-yard field-goal attempt in the second quarter. Although he subsequently converted field goals from 29 and 45 yards in the second half, his extra-point miscue ultimately contributed toward the game going to overtime. The veteran will aim to eliminate any similar mistakes in Week 13 versus the Saints.

Joey Slye K | TEN
Football Team's Joey Slye: Hits injured reserve
Slye (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Slye thus will miss at least three games as a result of the pulled hamstring he sustained during Monday's win against the Seahawks. With a multi-week absence in store for Slye, Washington signed Brian Johnson off the Bears' practice squad in a corresponding move.

Ravens' Justin Tucker: Makes four kicks
Tucker made all three of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday night's 16-10 win over the Browns.
Tucker drilled a 52-yarder to start the game, then followed that make with field goals from 25 and 49 yards. With a PAT as well, he notched double-digit points for the second straight week and sixth time overall this season.

Football Team's Joey Slye: Will miss time
Coach Ron Rivera said Tuesday that Slye (hamstring) will miss "a few weeks," JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Slye suffered a hamstring injury during Monday's 17-15 win over Seattle, and he was subsequently limited to extra-point tries but unable to attempt field goals. Depending on the severity of his injury, Slye could be a candidate for a stint on IR, but no matter the case Washington will now need to pursue other options at placekicker. The Football Team does not currently have a kicker on the practice squad.

Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Contributes 18 points in win
Carlson made all five of his field-goal attempts and converted three extra-point tries in the Raiders' 36-33 overtime victory over the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day.
Carlson produced half of the Raiders' 36 points Thursday, including the game-winning field goal from 29 yards out in overtime. He also had a clutch 56-yarder inside the two-minute warning late in the fourth quarter. Carlson has made seven total field goals on as many attempts over the past two weeks, gaining momentum ahead of a home game against Washington.

Football Team's Joey Slye: Questionable to return
Slye (hamstring) is available for extra-point attempts but will not attempt any field goals for the rest of Monday's game against Seattle, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Slye suffered a hamstring injury while trying to chase down a blocked extra-point attempt in the first half. He's been officially deemed questionable to return, though Washington opted to go for two rather than attempt an extra point on their first score in the second half. In addition, Tress Way -- Washington's punter -- was seen warming up for kicks on the sideline, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Football Team's Joey Slye: Hurts hamstring Monday
Slye suffered a hamstring injury during Monday's game versus the Seahawks.
When his PAT was blocked and returned for a touchdown near the end of the first half, Slye made chase but tumbled to the ground on the play. He was favoring his left leg thereafter and now may not return to action Monday. In Slye's place, Tress Way will handle placekicking duties for Washington.

Graham Gano K | NYG
Giants' Graham Gano: Converts three kicks in win
Gano made two of three field-goal attempts and his lone PAT during Sunday's 13-7 win over the Eagles.
Gano missed from 51 yards out wide right, but he was good from 39 and 35 yards to help the Giants defeat a divisional rival. The 34-year-old is enjoying a successful season and has gone 22-for-25 on field goals -- with two misses from 50-plus yards -- while making all 14 PATS through 11 games.

Younghoe Koo K | NYG
Falcons' Younghoe Koo: No field-goal attempts in Week 12
Koo didn't attempt a field goal, but he made all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 21-14 win over the Jaguars.
Koo didn't have an opportunity to redeem himself from his 50-yard miss during Week 11's shutout loss to the Patriots. However, he did connect on all three of his PATs, which kept him a perfect 20-for-20 on the season. Despite Koo's consistent accuracy, his fantasy production remains limited due to sporadic opportunities from Atlanta's offense.
