Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Shakes off illness
Carlson (illness) was estimated as a full participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.
Carlson wasn't available for Monday's walk-through practice while he dealt with the illness, but his ability to practice in full a day later clears the way for him to play Thanksgiving Day in Dallas. The fourth-year kicker has converted on 19 of 22 field-goal tries and 20 of 22 extra-point attempts through the Raiders' first 10 games.

Dustin Hopkins K | CLE
Chargers' Dustin Hopkins: Perfect in big win
Hopkins made both field-goal attempts along with all five of his extra points in the 41-37 victory over the Steelers on Sunday.
Hopkins was able to convert on a 30-yard field goal in the second quarter and a 41-yard field goal in the third quarter, although the latter was initially missed before an offsides penalty allowed for a re-kick. The veteran kicker has now made all seven of his field-goal attempts since joining the Chargers.

Mike Badgley K | BUF
Colts' Michael Badgley: Perfect again Sunday
Badgley converted both field-goal attempts from 36 and 35 yards along with all five extra-point attempts in Sunday's win at Buffalo.
Badgley has converted all nine field goals and all 24 extra points in six games since joining the Colts. He's playing so well, the Colts have said that former starter Rodrigo Blankenship (hip) will remain on injured reserve for the foreseeable future.

Graham Gano K | NYG
Giants' Graham Gano: Perfect for fifth straight game
Gano converted his lone field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try during Monday's 30-10 loss to the Buccaneers.
Gano hasn't missed a kick since Week 5, though in that span he's had three games with just a single field-goal attempt. Nonetheless, the veteran remains reliably accurate, and the Giants' divisional matchup against the Eagles on Sunday could provide him more scoring opportunities.

Jason Sanders K | MIA
Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Another missed kick
Sanders made one of two field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries during Sunday's win over the Jets.
Sanders is sitting at a career-worst 72 percent field goal conversion rate through 11 games this season, and Sunday's miss came from only 32 yards out. The four-year veteran will get a chance to bounce back versus the Panthers in Week 12, but if Sanders' accuracy issues continue down the stretch, he could find his position with the Dolphins in jeopardy.

Jake Elliott K | PHI
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Sets new career high in win
Elliott made all four of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 40-29 win over the Saints.
Elliott tied his career high of 14 points just four weeks ago against the Lions, but he broke that mark Sunday with 16. He's now made at least three field goals in three of his last four games and has a good chance to keep up his current pace due to a suddenly hot Philadelphia offense.

Jason Myers K | SEA
Seahawks' Jason Myers: Nails all three kicks
Myers made both field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Cardinals.
Both of Myers' field goals were within 30 yards. He has now hit nine of 13 field-goal tries (69 percent) and 23 of 24 extra points (96 percent) through 10 games. He's not getting many opportunities thus far, and the Seahawks' recent offensive dysfunction lowers his ceiling. He'll look to get back on track against Washington in Week 12.

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.
