Myers connected on his lone field-goal attempt and all four extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Jaguars.

Myers missed four field-goal tries over the previous three weeks, so it was good to see him back on track even if his only field goal was from 31 yards out. The 30-year-old has now made seven of 11 field goals and 22 of 23 extra points through eight games.

Gonzalez made all four of his field-goal attempts as well as his only extra-point try in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Falcons.

Gonzalez converted field goals from 29, 51, 57 and 23 yards, fueling the Panthers' scoring prior to a fourth-quarter touchdown from the offense. The veteran has come on strong lately, as Gonzalez has now gone four straight games without a miss, racking up 34 points over that span.

Fairbairn missed his lone field-goal attempt and made two of two extra-point kicks in Sunday's 38-22 loss to the Rams.

Fairbairn was wide right on a 45-yard attempt on the final play of the first half. It's been a rough season for the usually consistent kicker, who has amassed just 12 points over five games. Most of that is due to the team's poor offense, but Fairbairn hasn't helped matters by missing two of five extra-point attempts.

McLaughlin was successful on one field-goal attempt and one extra-point kick in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Steelers.

McLaughlin rebounded from his only missed kick of the season -- a blocked FGA last week -- and produced points whenever asked. The downside is that Cleveland's sputtering and inconsistent offense didn't afford him many chances. McLaughlin has scored just 11 points over the last three weeks.

Slye connected on four of five field-goal attempts while going 1-for-2 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 33-22 win over the Bears.

Slye missed his first field-goal attempt out of the gates from 48 yards out, but he went on to hit his next four tries, including a game-high 52-yard make. The 25-year-old has performed well in place of the injured Robbie Gould (groin), going 7-for-8 on field-goal attempts in his three games with San Francisco. The latter was reportedly working out on the field prior to Sunday's win, which could spell the end of Slye's tenure with the 49ers if the club activates the reliable kicker off of IR this week.

Koo made two of his three field-goal attempts and his only extra point during the Falcons' 19-13 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

Koo opened the scoring by connecting on a 46-yard field goal that was set up by a Chuba Hubbard fumble on the first play of the game. However, Koo missed his next attempt -- another 46-yarder -- wide right. The miss was his first of the season, but the 27-year-old was able to bounce back to connect on a 53-yard attempt with 16 seconds left in the game. Despite the miss, Koo still is one of the most reliable kickers in the league, but his fantasy ceiling will continue to be limited by Atlanta's sporadic offense.

Elliott made all three of his field-goal attempts and added five extra points in Sunday's 44-6 win over Detroit.

Elliott scored 14 points, tying a career high he set in Week 4 of his rookie season. It was just the second time this year that the 26-year-old has gotten three field-goal attempts in a game, however.

Santos converted all three of his field-goal attempts while adding an extra point in the Bears' 33-22 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Although Santos missed an extra-point attempt, he recorded a season-high 10 points. Despite his solid effort, he came into this game averaging fewer than five points over his last four games, making him tough to trust in weekly fantasy lineups.

Boswell was diagnosed with a concussion and won't return to Sunday's game against the Browns, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Boswell took a big shot during the second quarter while attempting a pass on a fake field-goal attempt, and Pittsburgh will now be without its kicker for the rest of Sunday's contest. Punter Pressley Harvin could work as the emergency kicker, but the Steelers could opt for a more aggressive strategy on fourth downs and PATs.

Folk (knee) is active for Sunday's contest against the Chargers.

As expected, Folk will be available for the Patriots' Week 8 matchup against the Chargers. He has dealt with the injury for the majority of the 2021 campaign, but it hasn't hampered his effectiveness yet, as he has connected on 16 of his 17 field-goal attempts this season.
