Tyler Bass K | BUF
Bills' Tyler Bass: Maintains steady trigger
Bass connected on both field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries during Sunday's 26-11 win over the Dolphins.
The second-year kicker continues to produce on an offense that has plenty of weapons to keep the scoreboard operator busy, while he's proven quite accurate in his young career. Bass is a near perfect 16-for-17 on field-goal attempt on the season and has made all 23 of his extra-point tries. That's Justin Tucker territory. Bass' 71 points currently sits second in the league, trailing only Nick Folk's 76.

Matthew Wright K | HOU
Jaguars' Matthew Wright: Makes extra-point attempt
Wright made his lone PAT and didn't attempt a field goal during Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Seahawks.
Jacksonville's offense struggled most of the day, and its only drive that went beyond the Seattle 38-yard line resulted in a touchdown. Wright is 3-for-4 on field goals and 7-for-8 on PATs in four games this season, and the Jaguars' offense doesn't supply enough scoring chances for him to be fantasy relevant, even if he made every kick.

Evan McPherson K | CIN
Bengals' Evan McPherson: Connects on five more kicks
McPherson made his only field-goal attempt and all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Jets.
McPherson nailed a 21-yard field goal to extended the Bengals' lead to 17-7 with 1:51 remaining in the first half. Other than that, he was only summoned for extra-point tries. After missing two field goals against the Packers in Week 5, the rookie has bounced back to make his next 18 kicks, including all five field-goal attempts over that span.

Nick Folk K | ATL
Patriots' Nick Folk: Makes four FGs versus Chargers
Folk made all four of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Chargers, en route to recording 13 points in the contest.
Through eight games, Folk has recorded 76 points, and as long as he's able to avoid any setbacks with a left knee issue he's been managing of late, he should profile as a solid fantasy option until the Patriots' Week 14 bye. Overall, the veteran kicker has hit 20 of his 21 FG tries and 16 of his 19 extra-point attempts.

Jason Myers K | SEA
Seahawks' Jason Myers: Perfect in win
Myers connected on his lone field-goal attempt and all four extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Jaguars.
Myers missed four field-goal tries over the previous three weeks, so it was good to see him back on track even if his only field goal was from 31 yards out. The 30-year-old has now made seven of 11 field goals and 22 of 23 extra points through eight games.

Zane Gonzalez K | MIA
Panthers' Zane Gonzalez: Fuels Sunday's victory
Gonzalez made all four of his field-goal attempts as well as his only extra-point try in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Falcons.
Gonzalez converted field goals from 29, 51, 57 and 23 yards, fueling the Panthers' scoring prior to a fourth-quarter touchdown from the offense. The veteran has come on strong lately, as Gonzalez has now gone four straight games without a miss, racking up 34 points over that span.

Ka'imi Fairbairn K | HOU
Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Makes two extra points
Fairbairn missed his lone field-goal attempt and made two of two extra-point kicks in Sunday's 38-22 loss to the Rams.
Fairbairn was wide right on a 45-yard attempt on the final play of the first half. It's been a rough season for the usually consistent kicker, who has amassed just 12 points over five games. Most of that is due to the team's poor offense, but Fairbairn hasn't helped matters by missing two of five extra-point attempts.

Chase McLaughlin K | TB
Browns' Chase McLaughlin: Produces when called
McLaughlin was successful on one field-goal attempt and one extra-point kick in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Steelers.
McLaughlin rebounded from his only missed kick of the season -- a blocked FGA last week -- and produced points whenever asked. The downside is that Cleveland's sputtering and inconsistent offense didn't afford him many chances. McLaughlin has scored just 11 points over the last three weeks.

Joey Slye K | TEN
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.
