Zuerlein connected on two of three field-goal attempts and both of his PATs in Sunday's win over the Vikings.

He misfired on a 43-yard FG attempt on the Cowboys' first possession of the night, but Zuerlein was perfect after that in a 20-16 victory. The veteran kicker has booted multiple field goals in three straight games and five of seven to begin the season, giving him a strong fantasy floor, and his ceiling is elite with Dak Prescott (calf) expected to rejoin the lineup for a Week 9 clash with the Broncos.

Gano made both extra-point attempts and one short field goal during Monday's 20-17 loss against the Chiefs.

Gano was perfect for the third straight week as the Giants nearly knocked off the defending AFC champions on Monday. The Giants had the last possession in a close loss, but they failed to set Gano up in field-goal range to try and tie the game. The veteran kicker has yet to miss an extra point (10-for-10) and is 16-for-18 in field-goal tries on the season. Gano has remained an average fantasy kicker option in a low-scoring offense as the Giants have been very inefficient with red-zone opportunities this year, resulting in a lot of short field-goal attempts.

Hopkins made all three extra-point attempts and one field goal for 48 yards during Sunday's 27-24 loss against the Patriots.

Hopkins was released two weeks ago by Washington and promptly made his debut with the Chargers after the team cut struggling kicker Tristan Vizcaino. The 31-year-old placekicker has made 13 of 15 field-goal attempts along with 13 of 15 extra-point tries on the season. Hopkins remains a viable fantasy option in a high-powered Chargers offense.

Sanders converted one of two field-goal attempts during Sunday's 26-11 loss to the Bills.

The Dolphins' first offensive drive came up short when Sanders missed a 36-yard field-goal try, though he did slightly make up for things by converting a 51-yarder in the second quarter. Through eight appearances this season, Sanders has converted just eight of 12 field-goal attempts (67 percent). He will look to get back on track versus Houston on Nov. 7.

Gay connected on a 27-yard field goal and hit all five of his extra-point kicks during Sunday's 38-22 win over Houston.

With Los Angeles up to an average of 30.6 points per game, and Gay having connected on 14 of 15 field goals, it's probably safe to continue viewing the 27-year-old kicker as a rock-solid weekly option moving forward. Gay and the Rams don't have a bye until Week 11, too.

Badgley converted his only field-goal attempt from 34 yards and made all four extra-point attempts in Sunday's loss to Tennessee.

Badgley has converted all three field-goal attempts and all 11 extra-point tries since joining the Colts. With Rodrigo Blankenship (hip) landing on injured reserve prior after Week 6, Badgley will continue to be Indy's placekicker. However, it's not clear when Blankenship may return.

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.

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.

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.

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.
