The Titans waived Badgley from their active roster Monday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Badgley struggled in the opener, missing his only field-goal attempt and converting just one of his two extra-point tries. The Titans clearly did not what like they saw, and the 26-year-old is now a free agent. He spent his first three years in the NFL with the Chargers and struggled with long-distance accuracy, connecting on just 10 of his 19 tries from beyond 40 yards last season.

Blankenship connected on his only field-goal attempt and made his only extra-point attempt during Sunday's 28-16 loss to the Seahawks.

Blankenship once again came out of a training camp competition on top and started his 2021 campaign off without a hitch. He connected on a 21-yard attempt on the Colts' opening drive and sank an extra point two drives later, but as the Seahawks started to pull away, the Colts elected to keep him sidelined. The 2020 UDFA went 31-for-34 from inside 50 yards last year, but his lack of 50-plus yard attempts (1-for-3) significantly impacts his fantasy upside.

Gano connected on his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Broncos.

Gano was only summoned once as the Giants' offense struggled in the season opener. After falling behind 20-7, New York kept Gano on the sideline on back-to-back drives as they went for it on fourth down. Gano is coming off an extremely efficient year where he was a perfect 26-for-26 inside the 50-yard line, but the 34-year-old's fantasy value this season will be largely reliant on Daniel Jones and company moving the ball.

McPherson made both of his field-goal attempts and was successful on all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Vikings.

McPherson was selected by the Bengals in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, and the rookie converted all five of his kicks in his first professional game. The 22-year-old made a 53-yard attempt early in the fourth quarter before drilling a game-winning 33-yard field goal as time expired in overtime. McPherson also made all five of his field-goal attempts during the preseason.

Koo connected on both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

The Falcons started off Week 1 with back-to-back red zone appearances on their first two drives. However, the offense stalled inside the 10-yard line both times, allowing Koo to sink two chip shots. The 27-year-old has led all kickers in fantasy points since he took over in Atlanta midway though the 2019 season.

Bass made all three of his field-goal attempts -- from 37, 25 and 42 yards -- and his only extra-point try in Sunday's loss to the Steelers.

Bass was a big point producer in his 2020 rookie campaign, finishing fourth among NFL kickers while augmenting the high-powered Buffalo offense quite nicely. While the Bills struggled Sunday against a well-developed Pittsburgh game plan, Bass converted on his chances and is one of only eight kickers to post double-digit points heading into the Monday game. He'd need a terrible rough stretch to put his job in any peril; in fact, the Bills didn't even bring in competition this summer since it's clear the the 2020 sixth-rounder is the team's long-term solution.

Folk made all three of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Dolphins, en route to recording 10 points.

Folk, who was promoted from the Patriots' practice squad late Saturday, did nothing to lose the team's kicking job in Week 1, but it's still possible that he and rookie Quinn Nordin could be involved in some more roster-shuffling ahead of New England's Week 2 contest against the Jets.

Joseph made a 53-yard field goal at the end of regulation in Sunday's loss to Cincinnati to send the game to overtime. It was his only field-goal attempt and he also converted all three extra-point tries.

Joseph wasn't overly impressive in the preseason, so converting a clutch long kick likely buys him some job security given head coach Mike Zimmer's propensity for switching kickers.

Boswell converted on all three of his field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Bills.

Boswell faced some competition from Samuel Sloman during the preseason, but the veteran won the starting job to begin the regular season. The Steelers were held scoreless in the first half in Sunday's season opener, but the 30-year-old converted a pair of field goals in the third quarter before making a 45-yard attempt late in the fourth. Boswell made 95 percent of his field-goal attempts in 2020 and got off to a productive start in the 2021 campaign.

McManus connected on both of his field-goal attempts and all three extra-point attempts in Sunday's 27-13 win against the Giants.

McManus converted from 23 yards during the second quarter and 36 yards in the fourth quarter. The 30-year-old was perfect Sunday, and he has a great chance to keep it going when the Broncos visit the Jaguars on Sunday.
