Gano converted three of four field-goal attempts during Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Dolphins.

The Giants failed to generate much offensive production in Sunday's matchup, but Gano gave the team the lead with a 39-yard field goal in the second quarter. He also made his first two field-goal attempts in the second half, but he missed a 56-yard attempt late in the fourth quarter that would have brought the deficit within one possession. Since the Giants' Week 10 bye, Gano has made six of eight field-goal attempts while converting both of his extra-point tries.

Boswell made both of his field-goal attempts while failing to convert his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Ravens.

Boswell was responsible for the Steelers' only first-half points Sunday by making a 53-yard field goal shortly before halftime, but he missed an extra-point try early in the fourth quarter that would have tied the game. However, the 30-year-old bounced back by making a 43-yard field goal later in the quarter. Boswell has now made multiple field goals in four of the last five games and has converted all 12 of his field-goal attempts while making eight of 10 extra-point tries during that time.

Fairbairn did not have any scoring attempts in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Colts.

The Texans entered Indianapolis' side of the field on just two of 11 drives, both times in the fourth quarter, and Houston was not in position to kick field goals. It was the second time this season that Fairbairn was on the field for just one snap.

Carlson made all three of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 17-15 loss to Washington.

Carlson is a perfect 10 of 10 on field-goal tries throughout the Raiders' past three contests, and he's connected from 50-plus in back-to-back games ahead of a Week 14 matchup in Kansas City.

Santos converted two extra-point attempts in the Bears' 33-22 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.

Although Santos has scored two or fewer points in two of his last three games, he also has scored at least nine points in three of his last five contests. Overall, his volatility makes him a tough player to trust in weekly fantasy lineups.

Maher made one of his two field-goal attempts and both of his extra points during Thursday's 27-17 loss to the Cowboys.

Maher didn't start his night off great, as he missed a 56-yard field goal wide right during the Saints' second offensive drive of the game. However, the 32-year-old kicker was able to bounce back and connected on his remaining three kicks, including a 42-yarder that cut Dallas' lead to 13-10 in the second quarter. Since taking over in New Orleans, Maher has provided mediocre results, but his fantasy production remains severely impacted by the Saints' inability to move the ball without Alvin Kamara (knee).

Patterson made three of three field-goal attempts and two of two PATs during Sunday's 29-27 win over the Vikings.

Detroit found a surprisingly amount of success against a decent Vikings defense en route to the team's first win of the season. Patterson was one of the biggest beneficiaries, and he did well to convert on each of his kicks, the longest of which came from 49 yards out. While Patterson is now locked in as the top kicker in Detroit with Austin Seibert (hip) on injured reserve, it will remain a challenge to bet on the Detroit offense down the stretch. Despite the recent success, Patterson will be a risky fantasy option in Week 14 against Denver.

Folk (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bills, Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Folk has made a regular appearance on the injury report this season, yet he has suited up for every game to this point. He's hit 91 percent of his field-goal attempts on the campaign, with all three of his misses coming from more than 50 yards away. Barring any type of news regarding a setback, he should be expected to play Monday.

Zuerlein connected on both his field-goal tries and all three of his PATs in Thursday's 27-17 win over the Saints.

Both FGs came in the second quarter, from 55 and 34 yards out, to give the Cowboys a lead they didn't relinquish. Zuerlein has booted multiple field goals in three straight games and six of his last seven, giving him a solid floor heading into a Week 14 clash with Washington.

Pineiro (undisclosed) had a workout with the Jets on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Pineiro opened the season on Washington's practice squad before being let go with an injury settlement, and it appears he's now healthy. The 26-year-old could receive an opportunity in New York if Matt Ammendola continues to struggle.
