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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wright didn't attempt any field goals but converted on all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Colts.

Wright was filling in for Chris Boswell (groin) for the second time this season, and he was perfect on his four kicks during the comeback win. The UCF product has been effective when needed during limited action this year, but he should return to the practice squad if Boswell is healthy enough to play against the Browns in Week 17.

Blankenship made his lone field-goal attempt and all three extra-point tries in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Steelers.

Blankenship made a 28-yard chip shot to start the third quarter, marking his only field-goal attempt of the day. The rookie has now made 30 of 33 field-goal tries this season, including 10 of 12 attempts from beyond 40 yards. Even if the Colts fall short of the playoffs, finding their kicker of the future is a bright spot this season.

Hopkins made both field-goal attempts and a lone extra-point try in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Panthers.

Washington's offense struggled mightily with Dwayne Haskins under center, but Hopkins still managed to hit field goals from 48 and 26 yards before Haskins was benched. Hopkins underwent a rough spell through the middle part of the season, but he's now hit 11 of 12 field-goal tries over the last five games, including six kicks from beyond 40 yards.
