Lucas Havrisik K | GB
Packers' Lucas Havrisik: Third straight scratch
Havrisik (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Eagles, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Havrisik is inactive for a third straight game with Brandon McManus (quadriceps) cleared for Monday's matchup against Philadelphia. Should McManus make it through the matchup healthy, Havrisik could lose his roster spot.

Harrison Mevis K | LAR
Rams' Harrison Mevis: Will again handle kicking duties
Coach Sean McVay announced Monday that Mevis will once again handle kicking duties for the Rams next Sunday against the Seahawks, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Mevis was elevated from the practice squad over the weekend and got the nod over struggling Joshua Karty against San Francisco, and Mevis responded by making all six of his extra-point tries. Karty remains on the 53-man roster, but Mevis can continue to be elevated from the practice squad the next few weeks while the Rams figure out their kicking situation down the stretch ahead of a possible postseason run. Kicking in the Los Angeles offense makes Mevis a desirable fantasy target at the position.

Chris Boswell K | PIT
Steelers' Chris Boswell: Rare miss in loss
Boswell went 1-for-2 on field-goal tries and made his only PAT in Sunday night's 25-10 loss to the Chargers.
Boswell nailed a 59-yard field goal in the first quarter before pushing a 45-yarder wide right early in the second quarter. The kicker had a field-goal try blocked in Week 4 versus the Vikings and slipped on another try in Week 6 against Cleveland, resulting in both of his previous misses this season. Boswell has now gone 17-for-20 on field-goal attempts, including 6-for-7 from 50-plus yards, while making all 21 of his extra-point tries over nine games this year.

Cameron Dicker K | LAC
Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Makes three FGAs during SNF
Dicker went 3-for-4 on field-goal attempts and made both of his PATs in Sunday night's 25-10 win over the Steelers.
Dicker made a 32-yard field goal in the second quarter before later adding makes from 59 and 42 yards in the second half. His lone miss on the night came in the third quarter, when he connected with the left upright on a 55-yard field-goal attempt. Dicker remains one of the most consistent kickers in the league, and he's now gone 23-for-25 on field-goal tries, including 3-for-4 from 50-plus yards, over 10 contests this season.

Blake Grupe K | IND
Saints' Blake Grupe: Makes three kicks in win
Grupe made his lone field-goal attempt and both of his extra points in the Saints' win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Grupe's make came from 21 yards out in the first quarter. The 27-year-old has struggled this season, making just 17 of his 23 field-goal attempts, though he's converted all 16 extra-point tries. In an offense that struggles to score points, Grupe holds minimal fantasy value.

Riley Patterson K | MIA
Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Converts only FGA in win
Patterson made his only field-goal try and went 3-for-4 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Bills.
Patterson connected on a 46-yard field goal in the second quarter, but it was his only attempt of the day, snapping a streak of four consecutive contests with multiple field goals. The kicker has now gone 14-for-16 on field-goal attempts, missing his only try from 50-plus yards, while also converting 22 of 23 PATs over 10 games this year.

Younghoe Koo K | NYG
Giants' Younghoe Koo: Makes four kicks in Week 10 loss
Koo converted both of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in New York's loss to Chicago on Sunday.
Bumped up from the practice squad Saturday to kick for an injured Graham Gano (neck), Koo was perfect on his four tries against the Bears. His field-goal makes were from 19 and 32 yards out, and it was Koo's first game action since Week 1, when he was with the Falcons. It's unclear if Koo will keep the kicking job over Gano moving forward.

Matt Gay K | SF
Commanders' Matt Gay: Accounts for four points in loss
Gay made his lone field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try in Sunday's loss to the Lions.
Gay's field goal came from 44 yards out, and the veteran kicker has now made 11 of 15 field-goal attempts and all 21 of his extra-point tries through nine games this season. In a down season for the Washington offense, Gay has minimal fantasy value, especially while Jayden Daniels (elbow) is injured.

Chad Ryland K | ARI
Cardinals' Chad Ryland: No FGAs in loss
Ryland did not attempt a field goal and made both of his PATs in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Seahawks.
Ryland went without a field-goal try for the first time since Week 5, snapping a streak of three straight contests with at least two field goals. The kicker remains 15-for-17 on field-goal attempts, including 2-for-3 from 50-plus yards, as Arizona gets set to face the 49ers in Week 11.

Ryan Fitzgerald K | CAR
Panthers' Ryan Fitzgerald: Quiet day in loss to New Orleans
Fitzgerald missed his lone field-goal attempt and made one extra point in the Panthers' loss to the Saints on Sunday.
Fitzgerald's miss came from 48 yards out toward the end of the third quarter, as the kick was blocked at the line of scrimmage. The rookie kicker has now made just 14 of 17 field-goal attempts and 15 of 18 extra-point tries through 10 games this season.
