Matt Gay K | LV
Rams' Matt Gay: Perfect in Week 2
Gay made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Colts.
Gay converted from 34 and 38 yards on his respective field goals, with the latter coming with just over two minutes remaining and ultimately being the difference Sunday. Through two games, Gay now sports an impressive 19 points on 11 makes and no misses overall.

Jason Myers K | SEA
Seahawks' Jason Myers: Misses key extra point
Myers made a 31-yard field goal and three of four extra-point attempts in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Titans.
Myers hasn't missed a field goal since the beginning of the 2020 season, but he has misfired on five extra-point tries over the past 18 games. Sunday's miss was unfortunate considering the Titans would've been forced to try a two-point conversion on their final drive if Myers had connected. Myers will likely be a low-ceiling fantasy option as long the Seahawks' offense continues its efficiency in the red zone.

Harrison Butker K | KC
Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Still perfect on kicks
Butker nailed all of his five extra-point attempts Sunday against the Ravens.
Butker didn't have the most fantasy-friendly day considering he didn't attempt a field goal, but he at least salvaged it a bit by making all of his five extra-point tries on the drives the Chiefs finished with touchdowns. He's still a valuable fantasy commodity among kickers given his accuracy and the fact that he's backing one of the best offenses in the league.

Nick Folk K | ATL
Patriots' Nick Folk: Signs with New England
The Patriots signed Folk from their practice squad to their active roster Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Folk was promoted to the Patriots' active roster before each of the first two games this season. With Quinn Nordin (abdomen) still on IR, and the veteran Folk having made 33 consecutive field-goals, the move to sign the 36-year-old to the active roster was an obvious choice.

Greg Zuerlein K | NYJ
Cowboys' Greg Zuerlein: Drills game-winner Sunday
Zuerlein connected on both his extra points and both his field-goal attempts Sunday, including a 56-yarder as time expired in the fourth quarter of a 20-17 win over the Chargers.
The veteran kicker had a shaky Week 1 after missing the entire preseason while recuperating from back surgery, shanking two FGs and one PAT, but Greg the Leg appeared to be back in peak form Sunday. A healthy Zuerlein should be among the top fantasy options at his position this season given how potent the Dallas offense is expected to be most weeks.

Justin Tucker K | BAL
Ravens' Justin Tucker: Automatic on Sunday
Tucker converted a 43-yard field goal and made all three of his extra-point attempts Sunday against the Chiefs.
Tucker has been flawless through two weeks, making all six extra points in addition to being 3-for-3 on field goals. He gets to kick in a dome Sunday against the Lions and then gets to kick at altitude in Week 4 when the Ravens travel to Denver.

Brandon McManus K | GB
Broncos' Brandon McManus: Remains perfect in win
McManus connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's 23-13 win over the Jaguars.
McManus connected from 32, 40 and 46 yards in the contest. Through two weeks, the veteran kicker has been perfect on all field-goal and extra-point attempts. McManus will look to keep the streak going in Week 3 when the Broncos host the Jets.

Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Contributes 14 points in win
Carlson made all four of his field-goal attempts and added a pair of extra points in Sunday's 26-17 win over the Steelers.
Carlson is perfect on six field goals and five extra-point tries through the Raiders' first two contests of the season, tying Nick Folk with a league-leading 23 total points among kickers. The Raiders return home to Allegiant Stadium in Week 3 as they host the Dolphins, who just gave up 35 points to Buffalo.

Joey Slye K | TEN
Joey Slye: Reverts to practice squad
Slye reverted to the Texans' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Slye missed his only field-goal attempt in Sunday's loss to the Browns. However, he did convert all three of his extra-point attempts. He's been filling in for Ka'imi Fairbairn (leg) as Houston's placekicker.

Matt Prater K | BUF
Cardinals' Matt Prater: Hits all six kicks Week 2
Prater made both field-goal attempts and all four point-after tries during Sunday's 34-33 win versus the Vikings.
After scoring eight points in the Cardinals' season opener, Prater again was busy with Kyler Murray and company going up and down the field. On this occasion, though, Prater made his one field goal longer than 40 yards, nailing a 62-yarder as time expired in the first half. With 18 points so far on his ledger through two games, he sits in a tie for seventh among kickers with the Giants' Graham Gano.
