    Rams' Matt Gay: Misses first field goal of season

    Gay went 2-for-3 on field goals and 2-for-2 on extra points during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Cardinals.

    Gay connected on both his field goals in the first half, including a 42-yarder to open the scoring on the Rams' opening drive. However, he missed a 46-yarder -- his first miss of the season -- on Los Angeles' first drive of the second half. The 27-year-old should remain a reliable option for fantasy managers, as the Rams' offense should provide plenty of scoring opportunities.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Doesn't miss in Week 4

    Tucker went 3-for-3 on field goals and 2-for-2 on extra points during Sunday's 23-7 win over the Broncos.

    Tucker's first field goal -- a 40-yarder as time expired in the first half -- gave the Ravens a 17-7 lead going into halftime. The 31-year-old kicker kept the pressure on the Broncos as he extended Baltimore's lead twice in the fourth quarter. First, he connected on a 46-yarder to extend the lead to 20-7, and then he pushed the lead to 23-7 with a 20-yard attempt late in the game. Tucker remains one of the elite kickers in the NFL.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Misses 52-yarder on MNF

    Carlson made a pair of extra points in Monday's 28-14 loss to the Chargers, but he missed his only field-goal attempt from 52 yards.

    Carlson had yet to miss a field goal this season before his 52-yard attempt sailed wide left with just over 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Prior to Monday, he'd made six consecutive attempts from 50-plus dating to Week 1 of the 2020 regular season, so he'll look to bounce back against the Bears in Week 5.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Totals 12 points in loss

    Elliott made all three of his field-goal attempts as well as each of his three extra-point tries in Sunday's 42-30 loss to the Chiefs.

    Having to keep up with the Chiefs' offense paid major dividends for Elliott, who got three field-goal attempts in a game for the first time since Week 3 of last season. Considering he doubled his point total on the season in just the one outing, he likely can't be counted on for similar production in a Week 5 matchup at Carolina.

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Keeps piling up points

    Bass made all four of his field-goal attempts and all four extra-point tries in Sunday's 40-0 blowout win over the Texans, good for 16 points.

    An accurate kicker in a high-powered offense is the perfect combo in fantasy, and Bass keeps chugging along with points each week. Bass's 44 points leads all fantasy kickers heading into the Monday night game, while he's 10-for-11 on field-goal attempts and has hit all 14 of his extra-point tries.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Cardinals' Matt Prater: Second perfect game of season

    Prater made all three field-goal attempts and was 4-for-4 on point-after tries during Sunday's 37-20 road victory versus the Rams.

    With the Cardinals putting up 30-plus points in all four games this season, Prater has been busy, matching the Chiefs' Harrison Butker for the NFL lead with 17 successful PATs. Additionally, Prater has vaulted himself into the top five in points per game among kickers with seven made field goals, averaging 9.5 points weekly. He'll look to keep up the pace Sunday against the 49ers' 22nd-ranked scoring defense (25.5 per game).

  • Greg Joseph K | LV

    Vikings' Greg Joseph: Converts PAT in loss

    Joseph made his only extra-point attempt during Sunday's 14-7 loss to the Browns.

    The Vikings offense put together only one scoring drive Sunday, and Joseph's only opportunity came on a PAT. It's been hit or miss for Joseph through four games, as he attempted six field goals and seven extra points across Weeks 2 and 3, but between the season opener and Sunday's game he had only one field-goal attempt and four PATs.

  • Colts' Rodrigo Blankenship: Perfect on five kicks

    Blankenship made both field-goal attempts and all three PATs during Sunday's 27-17 win over the Dolphins.

    Blankenship converted on field goals from 34 and 43 yards as he remains perfect from inside 50 yards this season. The 24-year-old is 9-for-10 on field goals and 6-for-6 on PATs heading into the Week 5 matchup at Baltimore.

  • Nick Folk K | ATL

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Makes one FG in Week 4

    Folk made one of his two field-goal attempts in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Buccaneers, en route to recording five points.

    As time wound down in the contest, Folk, who had made 36 consecutive field-goal tries, had a chance to put the Patriots on top, but his 56-yard attempt hit the upright and deflected wide to the left. The veteran kicker and the Patriots will now look to rebound in Week 5 versus a Houston squad that has dropped three straight games.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Bounces back after early miss

    Gano made two of his three field-goal attempts and his only extra point during Sunday's 26-20 overtime win over the Saints.

    Gano couldn't open the scoring with a 35-yard field goal, as he missed it wide left. However, the 34-year-old bounced back and made his final three kicks, including a 48-yarder to tie the score at 21 with 31 seconds remaining. Gano remains a reliable kicker, but his fantasy production is limited due to the Giants' inconsistent offense.
