Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Perfect in upset victory
Carlson made all four of his field-goal attempts and converted both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Ravens.
Carlson, who missed a 49-yarder in Week 1, avenged the disappointing four-point performance in the season opener by outdueling legendary Ravens kicker Justin Tucker on Sunday with makes from 53, 51 and 25 yards, before nailing the game winner from 38 yards out with under 30 seconds left to play in the fourth quarter. Carlson not only carries this positive momentum into Week 3, but the Raiders' offense faces a more favorable matchup against the Panthers as well.

Chris Boswell K | PIT
Steelers' Chris Boswell: Makes two field goals in win
Boswell converted both of his field-goal attempts while making his lone extra-point try during Sunday's 13-6 win over the Broncos.
After making six field-goal attempts in last week's regular-season opener to account for all of the Steelers' points, Boswell wasn't needed as much in Week 2. However, he still delivered when called upon, including a 53-yard field goal in the third quarter. The 33-year-old has drilled all four of his attempts from 50-plus yards over the first two weeks of the regular season, and he's been crucial for the team's success, as the offense has struggled to reach the end zone.

Jake Bates K | DET
Lions' Jake Bates: Makes three field goals in loss
Bates went 3-for-3 on field-goal tries and converted his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers.

He later added a 32-yard field-goal make and a PAT in the third quarter. Through two games in 2024, Bates has gone 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on extra-point tries.

Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Hits game-winning field goal

Evan McPherson K | CIN
Bengals' Evan McPherson: Misses key point-after try
McPherson made all four field-goal attempts but missed one of two extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Chiefs.
McPherson connected from 22, 33 and 48 yards out before hitting a 53-yard field goal to give the Bengals a 25-23 lead in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately for the Florida product, he was wide right on a PAT following an Andrei Iosivas touchdown catch late in the third quarter, which ultimately ended up being the difference in the score.

Greg Zuerlein K | NYJ
Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Just one FG through two games
Zuerlein made his only field-goal attempt from 33 yards and converted all three of his PAT tries in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans.
Zuerlein got another relatively light workload, as he has attempted only one field goal through two games. Aaron Rodgers and the Jets' offense will look to heat up in Thursday's home opener against the Patriots and give Zuerlein more kicking opportunities.

Eddy Pineiro K | CAR
Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Drills another kick Sunday
Pineiro made one field goal during Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Chargers.
Pineiro remains perfect through Week 2, as the 29-year-old kicker split the uprights on a 38-yard field-goal attempt in the third quarter of Sunday's loss. Carolina's offensive struggles limited Pineiro to just that one try in Week 2, which could be a recurring theme as the Panthers travel to take on the Raiders in Week 3.

Cairo Santos K | CHI
Bears' Cairo Santos: Seven points in defeat
Santos converted both of his extra-point attempts in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Santos has been one of the most accurate kickers in the league since joining the Bears in 2020. Not only has he been perfect to start the season, but he's averaging 8.5 points over two games. Playing on an offense that has been breaking down in field-goal range, Santos may continue to be a solid weekly fantasy option.
