Joey Slye K | TEN
Football Team's Joey Slye: Perfect in team debut
Slye converted all three of his field-goal attempts while drilling both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 29-19 win over the Buccaneers.
Slye signed with Washington on Tuesday to replace Chris Blewitt, and he was perfect in his debut for Washington to help propel the team to the upset win. The 25-year-old has appeared in seven games with the Texans, 49ers and Washington to begin the year and has made 14 of 16 field-goal attempts while converting 11 of 14 extra-point tries.

Zane Gonzalez K | ATL
Panthers' Zane Gonzalez: Notches season high
Gonzalez made all four of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Cardinals.
Gonzalez converted from 44, 48, 49 and 27 yards on his respective field goals, continuing his consistent play of late. The kicker has now gone six straight games without a miss, with Sunday's 14 points marking a new season high.

Chase McLaughlin K | TB
Browns' Chase McLaughlin: Has little work in loss
McLaughlin did not attempt a field goal and made his lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 45-7 loss to New England.
The Browns' offense has been maddeningly inconsistent this season, and not much was expected from it Week 10 when Cleveland was missing its top two running backs. McLaughlin has been spot-on when asked to kick, making 13 of 15 field-goal attempts and all 24 extra-point tries, but he ranks 17th in kicker scoring with 63 points and 20th with 15 FGA.

Jake Elliott K | PHI
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Puts up 12 points in win
Elliott made all three of his field-goal attempts as well as all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Broncos.
The Eagles have found a groove offensively of late, and that has meant more opportunities for Elliott. With an extremely soft schedule over the rest of the season, the 26-year-old should easily outperform his first-half numbers to close out the year.

Chris Boswell K | PIT
Steelers' Chris Boswell: Makes four kicks against Detroit
Boswell made all three of his field-goal attempts while converting his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 16-16 tie against the Lions.
Boswell missed an extra-point try in last week's win over Chicago, but he bounced back with a perfect performance against Detroit on Sunday in spite of rainy weather in Pittsburgh. The 30-year-old has had plenty of work across the last five games and has made all 12 of his field-goal attempts while converting eight of nine extra-point tries during that time.

Nick Folk K | NYJ
Patriots' Nick Folk: Active for Sunday's game
Folk (knee) is active Sunday against Cleveland.
Folk has been on the injury report on a regular basis with a knee issue, but he'll ultimately suit up Sunday as he has all season. The 36-year-old has only missed two field-goal attempts in 2021, notching a 91 percent success rate.

Greg Zuerlein K | NYJ
Cowboys' Greg Zuerlein: Officially out Week 10
Zuerlein wasn't activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to Saturday's deadline for Week 10 roster moves and won't be available Sunday against the Falcons.
Zuerlein's absence for Week 10 was expected after head coach Mike McCarthy essentially confirmed Wednesday that the kicker's placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list was the result of a positive test, per Jori Epstein of USA Today. Lirim Hajrullahu has been called up from the practice squad as Zuerlein's replacement, setting the rookie kicker up to make his first ever NFL appearance. Zuerlein should have a good chance at clearing all COVID-19-related protocols ahead of the Cowboys' next game Nov. 21 in Kansas City.

Jason Sanders K | MIA
Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Makes three field goals on TNF
Sanders converted all three of his field-goal attempts during Thursday's 22-10 win over the Ravens.
Sanders also converted his lone extra-point try. Baltimore's stingy defense, in combination with what was a narrow and low-scoring affair through most of Thursday's contest, prompted Miami to play relatively conservative and accept chances at field goals. However, the Dolphins usually haven't kept games nearly as close this season, and Thursday's win was the first time all year Sanders had three field goals, and only his third occasion with more than one. In Week 11, however, Sanders could have another chance to see opportunities in a winnable divisional contest against the Jets.

Nick Folk K | NYJ
Patriots' Nick Folk: Gets customary questionable tag
Folk (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Folk has been a mainstay on the injury report due to this knee issue, but it hasn't affected his game-day availability up to this point. Nor has it had an effect on his accuracy, as his missed field goal in last week's win over the Panthers was just his second miss in 23 attempts.

Brett Maher K | LAR
Brett Maher: To work out with Cowboys
Maher will get a workout with the Cowboys soon, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Maher spent time with the Cowboys in 2018 and 2019. Most recently he spent training camp with the Saints, but he was waived with an injury settlement. Greg Zuerlein (COVID-19) is expected to miss Week 10 against the Falcons, sending the Cowboys looking for a replacement.
