    49ers' Joey Slye: Posts 13 points in win

    Slye connected on four of five field-goal attempts while going 1-for-2 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 33-22 win over the Bears.

    Slye missed his first field-goal attempt out of the gates from 48 yards out, but he went on to hit his next four tries, including a game-high 52-yard make. The 25-year-old has performed well in place of the injured Robbie Gould (groin), going 7-for-8 on field-goal attempts in his three games with San Francisco. The latter was reportedly working out on the field prior to Sunday's win, which could spell the end of Slye's tenure with the 49ers if the club activates the reliable kicker off of IR this week.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYG

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Misses first field goal of season

    Koo made two of his three field-goal attempts and his only extra point during the Falcons' 19-13 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Koo opened the scoring by connecting on a 46-yard field goal that was set up by a Chuba Hubbard fumble on the first play of the game. However, Koo missed his next attempt -- another 46-yarder -- wide right. The miss was his first of the season, but the 27-year-old was able to bounce back to connect on a 53-yard attempt with 16 seconds left in the game. Despite the miss, Koo still is one of the most reliable kickers in the league, but his fantasy ceiling will continue to be limited by Atlanta's sporadic offense.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Ties career high in win

    Elliott made all three of his field-goal attempts and added five extra points in Sunday's 44-6 win over Detroit.

    Elliott scored 14 points, tying a career high he set in Week 4 of his rookie season. It was just the second time this year that the 26-year-old has gotten three field-goal attempts in a game, however.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Posts 10 points

    Santos converted all three of his field-goal attempts while adding an extra point in the Bears' 33-22 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

    Although Santos missed an extra-point attempt, he recorded a season-high 10 points. Despite his solid effort, he came into this game averaging fewer than five points over his last four games, making him tough to trust in weekly fantasy lineups.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Concussion confirmed

    Boswell was diagnosed with a concussion and won't return to Sunday's game against the Browns, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Boswell took a big shot during the second quarter while attempting a pass on a fake field-goal attempt, and Pittsburgh will now be without its kicker for the rest of Sunday's contest. Punter Pressley Harvin could work as the emergency kicker, but the Steelers could opt for a more aggressive strategy on fourth downs and PATs.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Available for Week 8

    Folk (knee) is active for Sunday's contest against the Chargers.

    As expected, Folk will be available for the Patriots' Week 8 matchup against the Chargers. He has dealt with the injury for the majority of the 2021 campaign, but it hasn't hampered his effectiveness yet, as he has connected on 16 of his 17 field-goal attempts this season.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Suffers possible concussion

    Boswell exited Sunday's game against the Browns and is being evaluated for a concussion, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Boswell was hit hard while attempting a pass on a fake field-goal attempt during the second quarter, and he slowly made his way to the locker room after initially being evaluated on the sideline. He converted on his lone attempt from 31 yards before leaving the contest, and the Steelers may be without a true placekicker for the rest of Sunday's game.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Questionable but expected to play

    Folk (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Folk has dealt with a left knee issue for a while now but has been able to play through it, and he's expected to do so once again come Sunday. The issue hasn't hampered his effectiveness, as Folk has converted all but one of his 17 field-goal attempts this season.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Limited Wednesday

    Folk (knee) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    As has been the case for many weeks, the kicker's reps in practice will be managed while he tends to a lingering knee injury. Folk has yet to miss a contest this season, going 16-for-17 on field-goal attempts and 15-for-18 on extra-point tries through seven games. Expect Folk to be ready to play by the time Sunday's game against the Chargers arrives.

  • Chargers' Dustin Hopkins: Inks deal with Chargers

    Hopkins signed a contract with the Chargers on Tuesday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

    Hopkins was let go by Washington last week but it didn't take him long to latch on with a new team. He went 12-for-14 on field goals and 10-for-12 on PATs before being released, and he should now benefit from Los Angeles' more explosive offense. Tristan Vizcaino, who missed one field goal and five extra points in six games, was cut by the Chargers in a corresponding move.
