Wright reverted back to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Wright operated as the primary kicker Sunday, as Josh Lambo (coach's decision) was inactive. However, he failed to take advantage of the opportunity, as he hit the upright on a PAT during the first quarter and left a 53-yard field goal short.

Sanders converted his only field-goal try and both extra-point attempts during Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers.

The Dolphins' offense once again failed to provide Sanders with many opportunities, but he remains steadfast when called upon. The fourth-year pro has only missed one field-goal attempt all season, but he's also only had six opportunities through five games.

Elliott made both of his field-goal attempts as well as his only extra-point try in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Panthers.

Elliott now has back-to-back games with at least two field goals for the first time in more than a year. He's missed just one kick out of 18 this season, including extra points.

McManus connected on both of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Steelers.

McManus made field goals from 29 and 39 yards Sunday. With this performance, the veteran kicker continues without a miss in the 2021 campaign. Up next, the Broncos host a Raiders team giving up an average of 24 points per game to start the season, which could give McManus ample opportunity to keep his streak alive.

Blankenship played through a hip injury suffered during the first quarter of Monday night's game against Baltimore, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

Blankenship obviously wasn't right after suffering the injury, missing one of two extra points and two of four field goal attempts. One of his field goal misses would have won his team the game as time expired. It's currently unclear if the injury will force Blankenship to miss time, but the Colts will likely audition other placekickers heading into Week 6 against the Texans.

Slye connected from 47 yards out and converted his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 17-10 loss to Arizona.

Slye took over for Robbie Gould (groin), who was placed on IR last week. The 25-year-old went 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts with Houston prior to being scooped up by San Francisco. Slye should continue to start for at least two more games while Gould is on the mend, starting with a matchup against the Colts in Week 7 following the team's bye.

Joseph converted a 54-yard field goal as time expired to give Minnesota a win over Detroit on Sunday. He also made field goals from 38, 38, 55 and 54 yards but missed from 49 yards, and he converted his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's win over Detroit.

While Joseph missed a potential game-winning 37-yard field goal as time expired in a loss to Arizona, he's also converted long field goals at the buzzer against Detroit and Cincinnati. As a result, he should have a decent hold on the job despite head coach Mike Zimmer's fickle ways with kickers.

Koo made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 27-20 win over the Jets.

Koo opened the scoring by capping off the Falcons' first drive with a 31-yard field goal. The 27-year-old continued his dominant start to the season by connecting on a 51-yard attempt -- his first field goal over 50 yards this year -- as time expired in the first half. Koo has solidified himself as a top fantasy option, but his upside remains limited due to Atlanta's sporadic offense.

Hopkins made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 33-22 loss to the Saints.

Hopkins opened the scoring with a 45-yard field goal in the first quarter that was set up by a Jameis Winston interception. The 31-year-old was then called upon twice for chip shots under 25 yards and connected on both of them easily. The perfect day for Hopkins was much needed after the seven-year veteran missed two extra-point attempts Week 4. He remains a reliable fantasy option as long as Washington's offense continues to move the ball well.

Wright made one of two PATs and missed his lone field-goal attempt during Sunday's 37-19 loss to the Titans.

Wright hit the right upright on a PAT during the first quarter, and he also came up short and hit the crossbar on a 53-yard field goal. The 25-year-old won the kicking competition with Josh Lambo last week, but he was unable to fully take advantage of the game opportunity. Lambo and Wright are a combined 0-for-4 on field-goal attempts as the Jaguars have yet to convert one this season. Wright was a gameday elevation Sunday and will revert back to the practice squad, and it's uncertain if he'll receive another chance to kick for Jacksonville.
