  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Stays true in dominant win

    Bass made his lone field-goal attempt -- a 22-yarder -- as well as all five of his extra-point tries in Monday's 38-9 win over the Patriots.

    Bass has been the recipient of extra opportunities lately as the Buffalo offense is clicking on all cylinders. He's also started to put together a nice stat line following a rocky start to his rookie season, as he now sits with a 28-for-34 (82 percent) mark on field-goal attempts and is 49-of-51 on extra-point tries. Bass is fourth in the league in scoring with 133 points.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Makes all three kicks in Week 16

    Elliott made his lone field-goal attempt as well as both extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Cowboys.

    The Eagles got up early on the Cowboys, and it looked like Elliott might have one of his bigger games of the season. Unfortunately, he was not called on again after his 38-yard field goal with 3:44 remaining in the first half.

  • Broncos' Brandon McManus: Has costly miss

    McManus converted an extra point and field goals of 30, 50 and 52 yards during Sunday's 19-16 loss at the Chargers.

    McManus' leg from 50-plus yards kept the Broncos in the game Sunday, but it was his uncharacteristic miss earlier that contributed to the Broncos' loss. McManus shanked a 42-yard attempt early in the second quarter, and, after the play was called back for a defensive offsides, McManus hit the upright on the 37-yard retry. It was McManus' first miss from inside 40 yards since Week 5 of the 2017 season. He'll look to start a new streak Sunday against Las Vegas, against which McManus converted an extra point and field goals of 50 and 33 yards in Week 10.

  • Matthew Wright: Moved back to practice squad

    Wright reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Wright converted on all four of his point-after tries during Sunday's win over Indianapolis, though he was not afforded a field-goal attempt in the contest. The 24-year-old has been reliable over two appearances this season, knocking down all six of his PATs while draining his lone field-goal try of 37 yards Week 13 against Washington. As Chris Boswell continues to deal with a groin injury, there remains a chance of Wright being activated for Pittsburgh's regular-season finale at Cleveland.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Rams' Matt Gay: Hits all three kicks in loss

    Gay connected on all three of his field-goal attempts during Sunday's 20-9 loss to Seattle.

    The sophomore kicker has now hit all six of his field-goal attempts and all five of his extra-point kicks over the past three weeks. Before setting Gay into fantasy lineups in Week 17, it will be important to check on Los Angeles' quarterback situation, as Jared Goff (thumb) underwent surgery Monday.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Gets nod for MNF

    Folk (back) is listed as active heading into Monday's night game against the Bills.

    Folk was labeled as questionable entering the day, but a Week 16 activation keeps the 36-year-old without a missed game on the 2020 campaign. He's been reliable in his second season kicking for the Patriots, knocking down 25 of 27 field-goal tries. A 92.6 percent conversion rate this season represents a substantial improvement from Folk's career 81.4 percent mark.

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Panthers' Joey Slye: Misses PAT in win

    Slye did not attempt a field goal and missed one of his three extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-13 win over Washington.

    Slye went wide right with his opening PAT attempt, marking his first extra-point miss since Week 3. That miscue along with zero field-goal attempts left Slye with a season low in points. However, with 119 total stops this season, Slye will have another chance to add to his career best Sunday versus the Saints.

  • Cowboys' Greg Zuerlein: Perfect afternoon in big win

    Zuerlein connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's win over the Eagles.

    The veteran kicker has delivered double-digit points in three straight games, something he'd done only three times in his first 11 games as a Cowboy. Zuerlein will try to stay locked in and help kick Dallas to a possible division title in Week 17 against the Giants.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Extends field-goal streak

    Hollister made both field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-9 win over the Rams.

    Myers connected on field goals from 45 and 49 yards, extending his streak -- which dates back to last season -- to 33 straight made field goals. The 29-year-old kicker has converted 15 field-goal tries from beyond 40 yards this year as well. He'll look to stay perfect in a Week 17 matchup against the 49ers.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Lions' Matt Prater: Output suffers in Stafford's absence

    Prater did not attempt a field goal but made his only PAT during Saturday's 47-7 loss to Tampa Bay.

    With quarterback Matthew Stafford (ankle) exiting the game early, the Lions had to rely on the ground game against a Buccaneers defense that has allowed the fewest yards per rush attempt (3.2) leaguewide in 2020. The results clearly weren't pretty, and Prater's output suffered as a result. While it's possible the Lions could find more success in Week 17 against a Vikings defense that allows the ninth-most yards per rush attempt (4.6) - plus the sixth-most yards per pass attempt (7.8) - it's also possible that Stafford's potential absence could again bomb Prater's fantasy contributions.
