  • Younghoe Koo K | NYG

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Flawless against ex-team

    Koo made his lone field-goal attempt of 45 yards, also converting both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Chargers.

    Taking on the team that cut him following a four-game stint in 2017, Koo demonstrated the consistency that has since transformed him into a Pro Bowl-caliber kicker. The 26-year-old reached an incredible 33-for-34 mark on field goals with his Week 14 performance, also pushing his PAT conversion rate above 90 percent for the first time all season. Chargers kicker Michael Badgley, meanwhile, entered the contest tied for 25th in the league with a 73.1 percent conversion rate on field-goal attempts.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Saints' Wil Lutz: Inaccuracies continue

    Lutz failed to convert either of his field-goal attempts but made all three of his extra-point attempts in the Saints' 24-21 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    The typically accurate kicker had a disastrous performance Sunday, leaving six points on the table in a game the Saints lost by just a field goal. This marks the first time all season Lutz has missed a kick in back-to-back weeks, and he'll look to bounce back in an important Week 15 showdown with Kansas City.

  • Jets' Sergio Castillo: Falls apart in blowout loss

    Castillo connected on just one of four field-goal attempts in Sunday's 40-3 loss to Seattle.

    Castillo connected from 45 yards out on New York's opening drive but then missed from 37, 41 and 43 on three consecutive drives. If Sam Ficken (groin) is ready to return against the Rams next week, he'll undoubtedly take back kicking duties from Castillo, who may not get another opportunity even if Ficken remains sidelined.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Crucial miss in narrow loss

    Sanders converted two of three field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries during Sunday's 33-27 loss to Kansas City.

    Sanders missed just his second kick of the season Sunday, but the lack of those three points proved key as Tua Tagovailoa's last-minute comeback heroics came up short. Still, Sanders produced a palpable fantasy performance, and he's been a reliable option all season. Next Sunday's divisional contest against the Patriots presents the kicker with a daunting matchup, though.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Posts 10 points in victory

    Santos converted two field goals while making all four extra-point attempts in the Bears' 36-7 win over the Texans on Sunday.

    This was the first time in five games that Santos scored more than seven points, and he'll remain a difficult player to trust for upside in the fantasy playoffs.

  • Chase McLaughlin: Cut loose by Jaguars

    The Jaguars waived McLaughlin on Saturday.

    McLaughlin missed two costly kicks in last week's 27-24 overtime loss to the Vikings, leading to yet another rotation for Jacksonville's kickers. The Jags signed Aldrick Rosas to the active roster in a corresponding move, and he'll be the team's starting kicker Sunday against the Titans. If McLaughlin clears waivers, he has a good chance to revert to the team's practice squad.

  • Cardinals' Zane Gonzalez: Downgraded to out

    Gonzalez (back) will not play Sunday against the Giants.

    It appears as if the back injury that landed Gonzalez on the injury report Friday is more serious than first thought. Mike Nugent was called up from the practice squad in a corresponding move and will look to correct a troublesome kicking situation for the Cardinals.

  • Cardinals' Zane Gonzalez: Added to injury report

    Gonzalez was added to the injury report Friday with a back injury, listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    It's already been a rough year for Gonzalez, whose six missed field goals this season have included two in the final minutes of close games. In any case, the Cardinals figure to promote Mike Nugent from the practice squad before Sunday if they have real concern about Gonzalez's availability.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Rams' Matt Gay: Proves health in win

    Gay connected on a 35-yard field goal and hit all three of his extra-point kicks during Thursday's 24-3 win over New England.

    The second-year kicker was listed as questionable for Thursday's game with a shoulder injury, so it was encouraging to see him suit up and hit all four of his kicks in the convincing win. Gay's fantasy numbers probably could have been better if head coach Sean McVay opted to be more aggressive offensively instead of milking the clock. Expect Gay to remain a serviceable asset in most fantasy settings, and especially with upcoming matchups against the Jets and Seahawks.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Converts only attempt

    Folk made his lone field-goal try during Thursday's 24-3 loss to the Rams.

    Folk's 29-yard field goal, which came late in the second quarter, accounted for all of the Patriots' points on offense. The veteran hasn't missed a field-goal attempt since Week 2, but he also now has just six total points across his last two games. He'll look to bounce back against the Dolphins in Week 15.
