Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Sits out walkthrough practice
Carlson was a non-participant in Monday's walkthrough practice due to an illness.
Carlson apparently is under the weather after he knocked down all three of his kicks (two field goals and an extra point) in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Bengals. Per Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Raiders haven't described Carlson's illness as COVID-19-related, though the kicker did contract the virus in training camp. Carlson will have a few days to regain health before the Raiders travel to Dallas for a Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Cowboys.

Matthew Wright K | HOU
Jaguars' Matthew Wright: Converts both kicks
Wright made his only field-goal attempt and his lone PAT during Sunday's 30-10 loss to the 49ers.
The Jacksonville offense mustered only 200 total yards Sunday, so Wright had only two scoring opportunities, which he capitalized on. The 25-year-old is 8-for-11 on field goals and 8-for-10 on PATs in seven games this season.

Tyler Bass K | BUF
Bills' Tyler Bass: Roughest outing of season
Bass missed both field-goal attempts and converted his only extra-point try during Sunday's 41-15 loss to the Colts.
The field-goal misses were Bass's first misfires since he missed his only attempt all the way back in Week 2, and to be fair, one of them Sunday was a 57-yarder that doinked the upright. Plain and simple, it just wasn't Bass's day (or any other Bill for that matter in the humiliating loss), and he remains a top kicker for fantasy purposes. The one-point outing did drop him down to third in league scoring at 87 points, though he remains second among kickers behind only Nick Folk.

Greg Joseph K | LV
Vikings' Greg Joseph: Kicks game-winning FG
Joseph converted both field-goal attempts, including a 29-yard game-winning kick as time expired, in Sunday's win over Green Bay. He made two of three extra-point attempts.
Joseph also converted a 51-yard field-goal attempt. He's been on a roll lately, making all eight field-goal attempts in his last four games. He's missed two extra-points attempts this season (22-for-24).

Greg Zuerlein K | NYJ
Cowboys' Greg Zuerlein: Accounts for only offense in loss
Zuerlein connected on all three of his field goal attempts in Sunday's 19-9 loss to Kansas City.
The three successful FGs tied Zuerlein's season high as he made his return from the COVID-19 list, but he failed to see a PAT for the second straight contest as he missed the Week 10 big win over Atlanta. The veteran kicker could struggle to get consistent opportunities again in a Thanksgiving Day clash against the Raiders with Amari Cooper (COVID-19) already ruled out and CeeDee Lamb (concussion), Ezekiel Elliott (knee) and Tyron Smith (ankle) all iffy for the Dallas offense.

Evan McPherson K | CIN
Bengals' Evan McPherson: Drills three long field goals
McPherson converted all four of his field-goal attempts while making two of three extra-point tries in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders.
McPherson had converted three of four attempts from over 50 yards across his first nine NFL appearances, but he was busy in Sunday's victory and drilled three kicks from 50-plus yards. Since struggling against the Packers in Week 5, the rookie has made all 10 of his field-goal attempts while converting 16 of 17 extra-point tries across the last five games.

Joey Slye K | TEN
Football Team's Joey Slye: Perfect once again
Slye converted both of his field-goal attempts while making all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Panthers.
Slye has had plenty of work during his first two games with Washington, and he hasn't yet missed any kicks during that time. Since joining his new team, the 25-year-old has made all five of his field-goal attempts while converting all five of his extra-point tries.
-
Zane Gonzalez K | ATL
Panthers' Zane Gonzalez: No field-goal attempts
Gonzalez did not attempt a field goal but made all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-21 loss to Washington.
Gonzalez was limited to PATs, but in making all three of his attempts, Gonzalez went a seventh straight game without a single miss. The veteran will hope to keep his streak going while getting more opportunities in Week 12 versus the Dolphins.

Chris Boswell K | PIT
Steelers' Chris Boswell: Busy against Chargers
Boswell made all three of his field-goal attempts while converting all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 41-37 loss to the Chargers.
Boswell attempted a season-high seven kicks in Sunday's high-scoring contest, and he remained perfect for a second straight week. The 30-year-old has attempted three field goals in each of the last three games and has made all nine field-goal attempts while converting seven of eight extra-point tries during that time.

Chase McLaughlin K | TB
Browns' Chase McLaughlin: Misses among few opportunities
McLaughlin missed his lone field-goal attempt and made one of two extra-point kicks in Sunday's 13-10 win over Detroit.
In another game that's become increasingly normal for McLaughlin, the kicker did not have a lot of opportunities to put points on the board. That means every attempt is vital. He missed wide right on a 46-yard field-goal attempt, and the missed extra point was blocked. It was not ideal weather conditions for an offense, but Cleveland's scored 17 points or fewer in five of the past six games, rendering McLaughlin a lower-tier kicking option for fantasy managers.
