Shrader went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his PATs in Sunday's 30-13 win over Washington.

Shrader was able to stay red-hot across the pond in London. The kicker nailed field goals from 48, 52 and 44 yards in the contest, remaining perfect on the season. Through four games, Shrader has gone 11-for-11 on field-goal tries, including 5-for-5 from 50-plus yards, and he's becoming one of the more reliable fantasy options in the league.

Boswell went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and converted his lone point-after try in a loss to the Browns on Thursday Night Football.

Both of Boswell's FG tries came in the second quarter; he missed a 48-yarder midway through the period before making a 31-yarder just before halftime. The missed kick ended up being costly, as the Steelers lost by three points on a last-second Andre Szmyt field goal. Boswell has struggled a bit to begin the campaign, going 7-for-10 on FG attempts but making all six of his PAT tries though three games. All of his misses so far have come from at least 48 yards, so he's been reliable from shorter ranges.

Szmyt made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries Thursday in a 27-24 win over Pittsburgh.

Szmyt's first field goal was pretty clutch, as he nailed a 44-yarder to give Cleveland an eight-point lead midway through the fourth quarter. However, the second-year kicker's next FG was much more dramatic -- he sailed a 56-yarder through the uprights with 10 seconds remaining to give his team a three-point victory. Szmyt has quietly emerged as one of the most consistent kickers in the NFL, as he's made 22 consecutive field-goal tries dating back to last season. His 56-yard game-winner Thursday was the longest of his career so far.

The Jets signed Grupe to the practice squad Thursday, per Eric Allen of the team's official site.

The 27-year-old was originally set to be the team's starting kicker entering Week 1, but after three consecutive weeks of remaining inactive behind Jason Sanders, Grupe was cut by the Jets on Tuesday. The fourth-year pro will remain an emergency option on New York's practice squad should Sanders' role change.

The Jets signed to Sanders off their practice squad Tuesday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Though New York cut him at the conclusion of the preseason, Sanders re-signed with the organization as a member of the practice squad and was elevated for each of the Jets' first three games of the season. He went 5-for-6 on field-goal tries and drilled all five of his point-after attempts during that stretch, with his performance earning him a spot on the 53-man roster. Sanders should have more security as the Jets' kicker moving forward after New York waived Blake Grupe in a corresponding move.

The Jets waived Grupe on Tuesday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Grupe appeared poised to open the season as the Jets' kicker after he was scooped up off waivers from the Colts on Aug. 31, but he ended up being inactive for New York's first three games after Jason Sanders was elevated from the practice squad to handle kicking duties for each of those contests. The Jets have now opted to commit to Sanders as their kicker, signing him to the 53-man roster while parting ways with Grupe. Between stops with the Saints and Colts in 2025, Grupe converted on 29 of 37 field-goal attempts -- including seven of 10 from 50-plus yards -- while drilling all 25 of his extra-point tries. He may not have to wait long before finding an opportunity elsewhere.

Elliott converted his sole PAT and attempted no field goals in the Eagles' 27-7 loss to the Bears on Monday night.

Elliott had an uneventful day, kicking through his one extra point on a second-quarter touchdown. The kicker remains 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and moves to 7-of-7 on extra-point tries through three regular-season games.

Santos made both of his field-goal attempts and all three PATs in the Bears' 27-7 win over the Eagles on Monday night.

Santos made field goals from 29 yards and 48 yards in the contest. The kicker had a consistent night and now moves to 4-of-5 on field-goal attempts and a flawless 11-of-11 on PATs over three regular-season games in 2026.

Sanders reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Sanders made both of his kicks in Sunday's loss to the Lions, making one field goal and an extra point. Through three games to begin the season, Sanders is 5-for-6 on field-goal tries and 5-for-5 on PATs. The veteran kicker figures to handle duties again in Week 4 against the Bears, but he's not a recommended fantasy bet in this low-scoring Jets offense.

Carlson made three of his four PATs and attempted no field goals in the Saints' 35-27 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

Carlson's missed PAT on the Saints' second drive of the contest was blocked by Thomas Booker. The point was a relevant one, impacting decisions throughout the contest that ended up as an eight-point game. Carlson moves to 7-of-8 on PATs and remains 4-of-5 on field-goal attempts through three regular-season games.
