Jake Elliott K | PHI
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Stays perfect to start season
Elliott made both of his point-after and field-goal attempts in Monday's 22-21 loss to the Falcons.
Elliott made 29- and 28-yard field goals in the loss Monday. His final make gave the Eagles a six-point lead with less than two minutes to go, forcing Atlanta to march down the field and score a touchdown, which unfortunately for Philadelphia, is exactly what happened. Elliot is now 4-for-4 on FGAs this season and 5-for-5 on PATs. Next up in Week 3 is a matchup with New Orleans.

Matt Prater K | ARI
Cardinals' Matt Prater: Connects on all seven kicks Sunday
Prater made both field-goal attempts and all five point-after tries during Sunday's 41-10 win over the Rams.
Prater has yet to miss any of his 11 kicks this season, including Sunday's FGA makes from 48 and 57 yards. The fact that he's attached to the No. 2 scoring offense in the NFL through two weeks (34.5 points per game) helps his cause, as he's tied for ninth in the league at 9.5 points per game with the Ravens' Justin Tucker and the Seahawks' Jason Myers. Prater will look to stay perfect on the campaign Sunday against the Lions.

Chase McLaughlin K | TB
Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Another long make Sunday
McLaughlin converted field-goal attempts of 30 and 55 yards and drilled both his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 20-16 win over the Lions on Sunday.
McLaughlin's capable long-range leg was on full display during his 55-yarder early in the first quarter, pushing his accuracy from 50-plus yards to 90.0 percent over his first season plus with the Buccaneers. After an inconsistent preseason, McLaughlin has flipped the switch, going 5-for-5 on field goals and 6-for-6 on PATs over the first two regular-season contests. The veteran should have his fair share of opportunities again in a Week 3 home matchup against the Broncos.

Nick Folk K | TEN
Titans' Nick Folk: Tallies five points
Folk made his only field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Jets.
Folk gave the Titans a 10-7 lead with a 41-yard field goal just before halftime. While that was his only field-goal attempt of the day, Folk remains very accurate when called upon and now has makes from 40 and 41 yards to begin the campaign.

Joshua Karty K | LAR
Rams' Joshua Karty: Tweaks groin Sunday
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Karty tweaked his groin during Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
McVay added that he expects Karty to play Week 3 against the 49ers, but the kicker's practice participation will be something to monitor throughout the week. Karty, a 2024 sixth-round pick from Stanford, has made all three of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries through the first two weeks of the season.

Cam Little K | JAC
Jaguars' Cam Little: Records first miss
Little converted two of three field-goal attempts and made his lone PAT during Sunday's 18-13 loss to the Browns.
The rookie sixth-round pick made all three of his kicks -- including a 53-yard field goal -- during the season opener, but he struck the right upright from 43 yards Sunday for his first career miss in the NFL. Little still made two field goals in the loss, as Jacksonville's struggles in goal-to-go situations led to field-goal attempts from 22 and 25 yards. The Jaguars' offense has been inconsistent through the first two weeks of 2024, and that's not a great situation for a rookie kicker from a fantasy perspective.

Jake Moody K | SF
49ers' Jake Moody: Stays perfect through two games
Moody converted his lone field-goal attempt of 31 yards while going 2-for-2 on PATs in Sunday's 23-17 loss to Minnesota.
Moody's fantasy ship came back to Earth following his six made FGs against the Jets in Week 1. The sophomore kicker saw his scoring opportunities decrease against the Vikings, but he remained perfect when called upon for a late field-goal attempt. The Michigan product has made all seven of his kicks from the field this season, including two FGs from 50-plus yards out. Moody remains a strong fantasy option in a road matchup against the Rams on Sunday.

Justin Tucker K | BAL
Ravens' Justin Tucker: Another miss from beyond 50
Tucker went 3-for-4 on field-goal attempts and converted both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Raiders.
Tucker's lone blemish Sunday, a miss from 56 yards, was the latest in a frustrating trend for the veteran. Dating back to last season, Tucker is 1-for-7 on field goals of 50 or more yards. He is still automatic from inside of 50 yards, but there is mounting evidence that Tucker's long-range accuracy is slipping at age 34. The Ravens take on the Cowboys in Week 3.

Brayden Narveson K | GB
Packers' Brayden Narveson: Reaches double digits again
Narveson made three of four field-goal tries and his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 16-10 victory over the Colts.
Narveson put 11 points on the board in his Week 1 professional debut, and he reached double digits again in Week 2. He missed a field-goal attempt for the second time in as many games, but he also was true on kicks from both 46 and 42 yards out. Narveson will not be afforded the opportunity to miss kicks for long, but he is 6-of-8 on field goals and 3-for-3 on extra points through two weeks, which suffices for those who have included him in their fantasy lineups.

Graham Gano K | NYG
Giants' Graham Gano: Set for multi-week absence
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Gano (hamstring) will miss a "few weeks" due to the hamstring injury he sustained in Sunday's 21-18 loss to Washington, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Gano sounds like he'll miss at least Week 3 against the Browns, and the Giants then have a quick turnaround before taking on the Cowboys in a Thursday night game Sept. 26. In the meantime, New York could turn to kicker Jude McAtamney, who currently resides on the practice squad, though Daboll said the team also will host tryouts at the position.
