  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Football Team's Joey Slye: New kicker in D.C.

    Slye signed with Washington on Tuesday.

    Since being waived by Carolina in the preseason, Slye has now spent time in three organizations, as he had stints in Houston and San Francisco before signing on in Washington. Seeing action in six games between his two prior squads, Slye connected on 11 of 13 field-goal attempts -- including a 3-for-3 mark from 50-plus yards -- and nine of 12 extra-point tries. Washington is hoping Slye can provide an upgrade at the kicker position over Chris Blewitt, who was released Tuesday after missing three kicks in two games.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Converts one field goal

    Sanders converted his lone field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries during Sunday's 17-9 win over the Texans.

    Sanders only has two games this season with more than one converted field goal, so he remains off the fantasy radar in all but the deepest of formats. The Dolphins take on the Ravens on Thursday Night Football in Week 10, in what could be a low-scoring affair for Miami.

  • Broncos' Brandon McManus: Makes three field goals

    McManus connected on three of his four field-goal attempts, while making one of his two extra-point attempts in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Cowboys.

    McManus made field goals from 27, 42 and 53 yards Sunday. After going perfect in field-goal attempts to start the year, McManus has now missed kicks in back-to-back games. The Denver offense showed some life against Dallas, and the veteran kicker could benefit from being in field-goal range more often if the team can carry over this success. McManus and the Broncos will host the Eagles in Week 10.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Another strong performance

    Santos converted two of three field-goal attempts in the Bears' 29-27 loss to the Steelers on Monday.

    Santos attempted a 65-yard field goal at the end of regulation, as the Bears tried to earn a late victory, but the ball hit the crossbar, resulting in his only miss of the evening. Although he averaged just five points per game through Week 7, he's posted 10 and nine points over the past two weeks, and as Justin Fields shows improvement, Santos' scoring ceiling may be on the rise as well.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Another strong outing

    Tucker made both of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point attempts Sunday against the Vikings.

    Tucker has not missed a kick since Week 3, a span of nine field-goal attempts and 12 extra-point tries. He has made 16 of 17 field goals overall and ranks ninth among kickers in terms of fantasy production. The Ravens have a Thursday night game on the road against the Dolphins in Week 10.

  • Jaguars' Matthew Wright: Provides only scoring in win

    Wright made three of four field-goal attempts during Sunday's 9-6 win over the Bills.

    Wright converted from 21, 39 and 55 yards to supply Jacksonville's only points of the afternoon, He also missed wide left from 42 yards during the third quarter, which was comically preceded by two unofficial misses that were negated by penalties. Wright is 6-for-8 on field goals and 7-for-8 on PATs through five games this season, and he remains a fantasy kicker to avoid given the overall struggles of the Jacksonville offense.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Suiting up Monday

    Boswell (concussion) is active for Monday's game against the Bears, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Boswell took a huge hit along the sideline after attempting a pass on a fake field goal last Sunday at Cleveland and was incredibly woozy while making his way to the locker room. He unsurprisingly entered the concussion protocol, but he was able to return to full practice Friday and emerged from Week 9 prep without a designation. On the season, Boswell has netted 12 of 13 field-goal attempts and all 12 of his point-after tries in seven games.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYJ

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Back on track in Week 9

    Koo made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra points during Sunday's 27-25 win over the Saints.

    Koo bounced back with another perfect outing after missing his first field-goal attempt of the season last week. The 27-year-old opened the scoring Sunday with a 32-yard field goal on the Falcons' second drive of the game, and then he was only summoned for extra points until the last possession of the contest. After the Saints took a 25-24 lead with a minute left in the fourth quarter, Atlanta went 64 yards on five plays to set up Koo for a 29-yard, game-winning kick as time expired. The fourth-year pro remains one of the most consistent kickers in the league, but his fantasy production will continue to be limited by Atlanta's sporadic offense.

  • Greg Joseph K | LV

    Vikings' Greg Joseph: Converts all five kicks

    Joseph converted his only field-goal attempt from 36 yards and made all four extra-point tries in Sunday's overtime loss at Baltimore.

    Joseph has made 11 of 14 field-goal attempts the last three games with misses from 47, 50 and 49 yards. He's had some big makes and misses at the end of games this season, but generally looks to have solid job security for the time being.

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Flawless in team's imperfect game

    Bass connected on both of his field-goal tries in Sunday's 9-6 upset loss to Jacksonville.

    While the team's performance was maddening for Bills fans, the second-year kicker has not been a problem at all this season. The Georgia Southern product has made 18 of 19 field-goal attempts and all 23 of his extra-point tries. Bass sits third in NFL scoring behind only Nick Folk and Matt Gay.
