Boswell converted all three of his field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Seahawks.

Boswell wasn't needed for any field goals in the first half Sunday, but he saw plenty of work down the stretch. The 30-year-old drilled a 52-yarder to give the Steelers a lead late in the fourth quarter, and he made a 37-yard field goal in overtime to give the team the win. Boswell has been consistent to begin the year and has made 11 of 12 field-goal attempts while converting all 12 of his extra-point tries.

Gonzalez made both his field-goal attempts and both his extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-28 overtime loss to the Vikings.

Gonzalez converted from 47 and 23 yards on his respective field goals, putting together a second straight perfect kicking performance. Through five games for the Panthers, Gonzalez now sports 36 points.

Fairbairn successfully converted his lone field-goal attempt in Sunday's 31-3 loss to Indianapolis.

Fairbairn has been uber quiet since returning from the injured list Week 4. He's missed three of six attempts, including two extra-point misses, and the offense hasn't afforded Fairbairn many chances.

Sanders converted two of three field goals and both of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Jaguars.

Sanders has now converted seven of nine field-goal attempts on the season, though he's also made all 10 of his extra-point tries. The Dolphins are set to face off against the Falcons in Week 7. Despite his solid accuracy, Sanders doesn't reliably see enough opportunities to make him a desirable fantasy option.

McLaughlin made two of two extra-point kicks and did not attempt a field goal in Sunday's 37-14 loss to Arizona.

McLaughlin did all that he was asked to do, but Cleveland's defense got rolled by the Cardinals and the offense couldn't keep up as it did last week in a 47-42 loss to the Chargers. When needed, McLaughlin has been a steady boot for the Browns, making all nine field-goal attempts and 15 extra-point kicks. He's currently tied for 14th among placekickers with 42 points through six games.

Santos converted a pair of extra points in the Bears' 24-14 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Despite not missing a field-goal attempt this season, Santos has yet to surpass eight points in a game, and he's averaging less than six points per contest. Due to his lack of ceiling, he's not a recommended weekly fantasy option.

Folk (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Folk continues to manage a left knee issue, but it hasn't cost him any game action thus far this season. Through five contests to date, the veteran kicker has made 14 of his 15 field-goal tries, en route to scoring 48 points in that span.

Wright will serve as the Jaguars' kicker Sunday against the Dolphins in London with Josh Lambo (coach's decision) inactive for the contest, Mia O'Brien of First Coast News Jacksonville reports.

For the second straight week, Wright has won out in the competition for kicking duties with Lambo, who has been forced to battle for his job since his Week 4 absence due to a personal matter. Though he converted on only one of two extra-point tries and hit the crossbar and missed on a 53-yard attempt in last week's loss to the Titans, Wright could build up some more job security with a stronger showing in London.

Wright signed a contract with the Jaguars on Saturday, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

It sure seems like Josh Lambo's tenure with the team could be coming to an end, and at least for the immediate future expect Wright to once again handle the primary kicking duties. Wright has attempted just one field goal over the last two weeks as a starter, but he's at least gone 4-for-5 on extra-point attempts over that stretch.

Blankenship (hip) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Blankenship had already been ruled out for Sunday's Week 6 matchup due to a hip injury that he sustained last week, but he'll be forced to miss at least three games. Michael Badgley was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans.
