  • Football Team's Dustin Hopkins: Automatic Monday

    Hopkins went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made both extra-point tries in Monday's win over the Steelers.

    Hopkins nailed all three field-goal attempts from the 40-49 yard range Monday. Since Washington's Week 8 bye, Hopkins has gone 11-for-13 on field-goal attempts -- with all but one attempt coming from at least 30 yards out.

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Hitting on all cylinders

    Bass made both of his field-goal attempts (37 and 28 yards) and all four extra-point tries in Buffalo's win over the 49ers on Monday night.

    That makes three straight flawless games for the rookie out of Georgia Southern, who's proven to be a strong draft choice following some early season struggles. Bass has made every single attempt starting in Week 8 with the exception of a 61-yard try before halftime in Week 9. While the schedule and the weather are tough factors down the stretch, a strong-legged rookie hitting his stride in a hot offense makes for a good fantasy play, even considering the negative factors. Bass currently sits fourth in the league in scoring with 105 points following Week 13 action.

  • Broncos' Brandon McManus: Converts two of three kicks

    McManus made one of two field-goal attempts and his lone PAT during Sunday's 22-16 loss to Kansas City.

    The 29-year-old converted from 53 yards during the first quarter, but he missed wide left on a 57-yard field goal shortly before halftime. It's his first missed field goal since Week 2, which was also a 50-plus yard attempt. McManus is 22-for-24 on field-goal attempts and 19-for-20 on PATs through 12 games this season.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Gets in limited practice

    Folk (back) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice report.

    Folk has been a regular on the Patriots' injury reports since early November with the back issue, but it has yet to prevent him from kicking in a game this season. Even if Folk ends up being listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Rams, he's more likely than not to gain clearance ahead of the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Steelers' Matthew Wright: Perfect on three kicks

    Wright converted on his lone field-goal attempt while making two extra-point tries in Monday's 23-17 loss to Washington.

    Wright made his NFL debut Monday with Chris Boswell (hip) inactive, and the 24-year-old performed well with the opportunities he was given. Wright's status for the Steelers' Week 14 contest against Buffalo depends on Boswell's health Sunday.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Connects on five field goals

    Butker nailed all five of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's game versus the Broncos.

    Butker was called on for more than three attempts for the first time all season Sunday thanks to a stingy Broncos defense, and he made more than two kicks for just the third time. He only attempted one extra point on the day but served as the team's primary source of scoring, accounting for 15 of the team's 22 points on the board. With some potentially high-scoring contests rounding out the 2020 season, Butker could be in line for a strong fantasy finish.

  • Mike Badgley K | BUF

    Chargers' Michael Badgley: Scoreless in Week 13

    Badgley missed both of his field-goal attempts and didn't add any extra points in Sunday's 45-0 loss to the Patriots.

    It was a disaster of a game for the third-year pro, as the Chargers put together one of the worst performances by a special teams unit in NFL history. Badgley's first missed attempt came on the Chargers' opening possession, amounting to his second missed field goal from at least 40 yards out in his last four attempts. His second miss was far more crucial, as the Patriots blocked the long attempt and returned it for a touchdown to end the half up 28-0. With just four games to go, it's hard to imagine the Chargers will make a switch at kicker, but considering Badgley ranks near the bottom in the NFL in terms of kick percentage (71 percent), it's quite clear the 25-year-old is playing for his job.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Steady in close win

    Carlson made his only field-goal attempt and converted all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Jets.

    Carlson nailed a 48-yard field goal in the second quarter, but he was ultimately contained to just two PATs in the second half as he brought his total to seven points for the contest. Las Vegas is now slated to host the Colts and their periodically stingy defense Week 14.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Nails long field goal in loss

    Elliott made his only field-goal attempt in Sunday's 30-16 loss to Green Bay. However, he made only one of his two extra-point tries.

    Elliott hasn't missed a field-goal opportunity since Week 7; the only problem is he's only seen six attempts. He's recently been shaky on extra points as well, having missed two of his last three.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Back on injury report

    Folk (back) was a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate.

    This has been typical for Folk of late. The lingering back injury hasn't forced him to miss any time, and it hasn't affected his performance at all. Since the injury surfaced, Folk has made all nine field-goal attempts, including two from beyond 50 yards, and 15 of 16 extra-point tries.
