    Rams' Matt Gay: Remains perfect versus Vikings

    Gay made all three of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Vikings.

    Gay drilled kicks from 32, 31 and 24 yards to extend his streak to 23 straight field-goal makes. Thanks to such great recent form, Gay is now tied for the league lead with 136 points this term.

  • Broncos' Brandon McManus: Another missed kick

    McManus missed one of three field-goal attempts but made his only extra-point try in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Raiders.

    McManus nailed a 49- and 55-yarder on his first two field goals, but he couldn't convert from 55 yards again on his last attempt. As a result, he's now missed a kick in consecutive games, a streak he'll aim to break in Week 17 versus the Chargers.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Cardinals' Matt Prater: Misses three kicks

    Prater missed two of three field-goal attempts and one of two extra-point tries in Saturday's 22-16 loss to the Colts.

    Prater missed from 51 yards to begin the game and then failed with his PAT after Arizona scored on its next drive. The veteran subsequently hit the right upright with a 41-yarder in the second half, before finally closing with a make from 28 yards. In the end, Prater's misses proved costly and directly contributed toward the Cardinals losing a third straight game. He'll strive to rebound from arguably his worst performance of the campaign in Week 17 versus the Cowboys.

  • Chargers' Dustin Hopkins: Placed on COVID-19 list

    The Chargers placed Hopkins (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Hopkins has been on point for most of his current nine-game run in L.A., missing one of 16 field-goal attempts and two of 25 point-after tries. The production amounts to 7.6 points per game, but now he's in danger of logging his first absence as a member of the Chargers. Fortunately, the NFL and NFLPA agreed to changes to the return-to-play guidelines, giving players like Hopkins who tested positive for the virus to get out of league protocols in five days versus 10, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Saints' Wil Lutz: Moves to COVID-19 list

    The Saints shifted Lutz (core) from injured reserve to the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Lutz already won't play this season due to core-muscle surgery and complications stemming from the procedure. Now, he's among 39 players to test positive for the virus Tuesday, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Lutz will move his rehab away from team facilities and enter into quarantine until he passes the necessary league protocols.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: No field-goal attempts Sunday

    Tucker went 3-for-3 on extra-point attempts against the Bengals on Sunday.

    The Ravens didn't trot out Tucker for any field-goal attempts for the first time all season. He was true on each of his extra-point attempts, however. Baltimore returns home to host the Rams in Week 16.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Adds five points in win

    Carlson made his only field-goal attempt and converted a pair of extra points in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Broncos.

    Carlson nailed a 41-yarder to extend the Raiders' lead to four points with less than eight minutes remaining in the contest, and the defense was able to hold the as the team improved to 8-7. Carlson has not missed a single field-goal attempt since Week 9, and he'll look forward to kicking indoors this week at Indianapolis.

  • Jaguars' Matthew Wright: Perfect on three kicks

    Wright made all three field-goal attempts and did not attempt an extra-point during Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Jets.

    Wright converted field goals from 21, 40 and 45 yards but never receive a PAT opportunity since Jacksonville attempted two-point conversions on all three touchdowns. The 25-year-old has now kicked three field goals in each of the past two games after not attempting any over the previous two contests. The inconsistent offense limits his fantasy value, but Wright has come on strong and is 16-for-19 on field-goal attempts and 10-for-12 on PATs this season.

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Chips in during major win

    Bass put up nine points in Sunday's 33-21 victory over the Patriots, converting both field-goal tries and all three of his extra-point attempts.

    Bass and the Bills got some revenge on their division rival from what was an awful performance in a humbling loss three weeks ago. Bass has been perfect since that game, making all five field-goal tries and all 10 extra-point attempts over the last three games. The second-year kicker is now up to 123 points on the season, good for fourth in the league. Barring a winter snowstorm, he'll get two nice opportunities to add to that total with juicy home matchups against the Falcons and Jets to finish the regular season.

  • Cowboys' Greg Zuerlein: Makes eight PATs in win

    Zuerlein didn't get a field-goal attempt and connected on all eight of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 56-14 win over Washington.

    With the Dallas offense finding itself again in Week 16, Zuerlein did not get an opportunity to attempt any field goals in the contest. The veteran kicker was perfect on his extra-point attempts, scoring eight of the team's 56 points in the blowout win. Zuerlein will look to improve upon his performance in what could be a high-scoring matchup with the Cardinals in Week 17.
