  • Football Team's Dustin Hopkins: Back on injury report

    Hopkins (groin) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

    Hopkins missed the first two practices of the week prior to suiting up for this past Sunday's win over the Bengals. He should be fine again this week. His performance is a larger concern than his health, as he's connected on just 14 of 20 field-goal attempts (70 percent) this season. If Hopkins disappoints in Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Washington could look to make a change with 10 days until its next game.

  • Cowboys' Greg Zuerlein: Battling back injury

    Zuerlein (back) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

    At this time, there's no real concern about Zuerlein's availability for Thursday's game against Washington. The Cowboys don't have a backup kicker on the active roster or the practice squad, so punter Hunter Niswander likely would take over the starting duties if Zuerlein did sit out.

  • Jaguars' Chase McLaughlin: Supplies only points

    McLaughlin made his lone field-goal attempt during Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Steelers.

    The 24-year-old converted from 41 yards out to cap Jacksonville's opening drive, which ended up being the team's only points of the afternoon against a strong Pittsburgh defense. The game against the Browns next week certainly provides a better matchup, but the inconsistency of the Jaguars offense severely limits any fantasy potential. McLaughlin has made both PATs and all three field-goal attempts through two games this season.

  • Cowboys' Greg Zuerlein: Few opportunities in win

    Zuerlein connected on a 19-yard field goal and converted two of three extra-point attempts in Sunday's win over the Vikings.

    His PAT on the first of four Dallas touchdowns on the day was blocked, which eventually cost Zuerlein two points as the Cowboys then went for a two-point conversion later in the game to make up for it. The veteran kicker has now missed three of 21 FG attempts and three of 20 extra points, and with the team's offense being just as erratic, Zuerlein remains a risky fantasy option heading into a Week 12 clash with Washington.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Productive against Jaguars

    Boswell converted on two of his three field-goal attempts while making all three extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Jaguars.

    Boswell was perfect on his field-goal attempts this year heading into Sunday's contest, but he missed a 45-yard attempt wide left during the first quarter. However, he bounced back and converted on the rest of his five kicks against Jacksonville, including attempts from 44 and 47 yards. The Steelers face the Ravens on Thursday, and Baltimore has been the stingiest defense against opposing kickers this season.

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Perfect in Week 11 loss

    Folk made both field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Texans.

    Folk has now connected on 17 straight field-goal attempts dating back to Week 2, eight of which came from beyond 40 yards. The 36-year-old has shaped up as a consistent fantasy asset, too, as he's tried at least two field goals in five of the last six games.

  • Football Team's Dustin Hopkins: Inconsistencies continue

    Hopkins made two of three field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-9 win over the Bengals.

    Hopkins shook off a groin injury and was able to play in Week 11. It was another uninspiring effort by the 30-year-old kicker, however, as he's now made just 14 of 20 field-goal tries this year, so questions about his job security continue to loom large. Perhaps this will be the last straw, but Washington escaping with a win may cover up Hopkins' blemishes.

  • Colts' Rodrigo Blankenship: Nails game-winning kick

    Blankenship made four of five field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-31 overtime win against the Packers.

    Three field goals in the second half helped the Colts overcome an 11-point halftime deficit and force overtime, and the rookie kicker connected on his fourth of the day from 39 yards in the extra period to secure the team's seventh win of the year. The rookie kicker is now tied with Daniel Carlson for the league high in points (94), and he won't kick in an outdoor setting until Week 16.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Two FGs in Week 11 loss

    Sanders converted both of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Broncos.

    Sanders only has one missed field goal on the year, and he notched his sixth kick of the season from over 50 yards out Sunday. Coming off a game which featured Tua Tagovailoa struggling to move Miami's offense to such an extent that he was pulled in favor of Ryan Fitzpatrick, who didn't have much better luck himself, Sanders' accuracy remains a beacon of consistency for the Dolphins.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Perfect in win

    Fairbairn made both field-goal attempts and all three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 27-20 win over New England.

    With much better conditions Sunday than he had in last week's game in Cleveland, Fairbairn was perfect inside Houston's dome. He's recorded nine points in two of the last three games.
