  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Playing Sunday

    Folk (left knee) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Buccaneers.

    Folk's knee issue led to him being limited at practice this week, but he remains the only kicker on the Patriots' active roster and now will look to extend his team-record streak of 35 straight made field-goal attempts. Three games into the 2021 season, Folk has notched 30 points, while connecting on all nine of his FG tries.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Tallies six points

    Santos converted a field goal and three extra points in the Bears' 24-14 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    With just one game of more than six points, Santos hasn't provided enough scoring to be considered a strong fantasy option.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Set for Week 4

    Fairbairn was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Fairbairn missed the first three games while recovering from a leg injury, but the 27-year-old will make his return Week 4 in what figures to be a difficult matchup against a tough Buffalo defense. Fairbairn will replace Joey Slye, who was waived earlier this week after going 11-of-13 on total kicks to start the season.

  • Matthew Wright: Reverts to practice squad

    Wright has reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad per the NFL's transaction log.

    Wright replaced Josh Lambo (personal) on the team's active roster for Thursday's Week 4 loss to the Bengals. He converted all of his PATs and did not attempt a field goal during the contest.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Listed as questionable

    Folk (left knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Buccaneers after practicing in a limited fashion this week.

    Though the Patriots had Brett Maher and Riley Patterson in for workouts, Folk remains the only kicker on the team's active roster, with Quinn Nordin (abdomen) currently on IR. If Folk's Week 4 status indeed is in any danger, a roster move would need to occur, so until or unless that happens, pencil him in to be a go Sunday night.

  • Greg Joseph K | LV

    Vikings' Greg Joseph: Cleared for action in Week 4

    Joseph (hip) isn't listed on the injury report heading into Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Joseph was limited in practice Thursday but should suit up against Cleveland. He has missed only once on seven field-goal attempts this season, but it was a costly one, as Joseph's misfire from 37 yards out on the game's final play led to Minnesota's 34-33 Week 2 loss to Arizona.

  • Jaguars' Matthew Wright: Converts three PATs

    Wright made all three of his PATs and did not attempt a field goal during Thursday's 24-21 loss to the Bengals.

    The 25-year-old was promoted from the practice squad to kick Thursday with Josh Lambo (personal) unavailable, and he delivered on the few opportunities he had versus Cincinnati. Wright is poised to revert to the practice squad, but he could receive a longer look from the Jags given Lambo is 0-for-3 on field goals and 5-for-7 on PATs through three games this season.

  • Bengals' Evan McPherson: Bounces back to make game-winner

    McPherson made one of his two field-goal attempts and all three of his extra points during Thursday's 24-21 win over the Jaguars.

    McPherson pushed a 43-yard field goal wide left -- the first miss of his career -- on the Bengals' opening drive. However, the rookie bounced back by making all three of his extra points before being summoned for a 35-yard field goal with three seconds left. McPherson showed his poise and connected on his second walk-off kick of his short career. The 22-year-old has been impressive to start the year, but his fantasy ceiling will be limited by what Joe Burrow and the Bengals' offense can do on a weekly basis.

  • Greg Joseph K | LV

    Vikings' Greg Joseph: Logs limited practice

    Joseph (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Joseph has connected on six of seven field-goal attempts, including all three tries from beyond 50 yards, through three games. The Vikings don't seem to think this injury is a big deal, as they haven't signed a backup kicker to the practice squad. The Vikings play the Browns at home Sunday.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Another limited practice

    Folk (left knee) remained limited at practice Thursday.

    Folk's continued limited participation in practice suggests that he could end up being fine for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, though Friday's injury report should add clarity on that front. With that in mind, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com relays that the Patriots had kickers Brett Maher and Riley Patterson in for workouts, but noted that might simply be for emergency-list purposes, with Folk banged up and Quinn Nordin (abdomen) currently on IR.
