Blake Grupe K | NO
Saints' Blake Grupe: Has one PAT blocked Sunday
Grupe nailed his only field goal attempt and five of six extra-point tries during Sunday's 44-19 victory versus the Cowboys.
Grupe's lone miss came when his extra-point attempt was blocked following the Saints' final touchdown of the game. The 26-year-old recovered with a 26-yard field goal for the final score of the game late in the fourth quarter. Through two games, Grupe has gone 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts while converting all but one of his 11 PATs. He could have another productive outing if the Saints' offense continues to roll during next Sunday's home matchup versus the Eagles.

Jason Myers K | SEA
Seahawks' Jason Myers: Drills overtime winner
Myers connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win versus the Patriots.
Myers hit field goals from 38 and 44 yards during regulation and nailed a 31-yarder in overtime to secure the team's win. The veteran kicker is perfect through two weeks, connecting on eight total field goals and four extra points. He'll look to stay on track in Week 3 versus the Dolphins.

Joey Slye K | NE
Patriots' Joey Slye: Misses one in loss
Slye made both of his extra-point tries but missed one of three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Seahawks.
Slye hit early from 29 and 28 yards, respectively. However, with the Patriots leading 20-17 and four minutes to go in the game, he had a 48-yard attempt blocked, keeping the Seahawks within a field goal. Jason Myers kicked a field goal for Seattle with less than a minute to go, and New England ultimately lost in overtime. Slye and the Patriots will travel to New York for Week 3 with a game against the Jets on Thursday.

Will Reichard K | MIN
Vikings' Will Reichard: Keeps success going
Reichard made both of his extra-point tries and all three field goal attempts in Sunday's 23-17 win over the 49ers.
Reichard stayed perfect in Week 2, aiding the Vikings to a second straight victory to start their 2024 campaign. The rookie connected from 22, 39 and 27 yards out for his first NFL field goals, after not having any FGAs in Week 1.

Austin Seibert K | WAS
Commanders' Austin Seibert: Comes through in debut
Seibert made all seven field-goal attempts in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants.
Seibert just joined the Commanders on Tuesday after the team decided to cut Cade York. He made the decision pay off in Week 2, making himself responsible for every point put on the board in their divisional win. The Oklahoma product hit six field goals from 33 yards out or less, including the game-winner from 30 yards out as time was expiring to seal the victory. His long for the day was from 45 yards. Next up for Seibert and Washington are the Bengals on MNF in Week 3.

Matt Gay K | IND
Colts' Matt Gay: Misses in return
Gay made his only extra-point try but failed to convert one of his two field goal attempts in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Packers.
Gay missed Week 1 as he recovered from sports hernia surgery. His return in Week 2 didn't go as planned, as he missed a 50-yard FGA in the loss Sunday. He did, however, connect on a 34-yard attempt to make the score 13-3 before halftime. Gay's next opportunity will come in Week 3 against the Bears.

Graham Gano K | NYG
Giants' Graham Gano: Hurts hamstring Sunday
Gano exited Sunday's game at Washington due to a hamstring injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
The Giants tacked Gano on to their Week 2 injury report Saturday with a groin injury, but he didn't have a designation ahead of this contest. He proceeded to suffer a new health concern during Sunday's opening kickoff, when he remained on the turf in serious pain. It's unclear who, if anyone, may handle placekicking duties for New York moving forward, but the team has deemed Gano doubtful to return.

Giants' Graham Gano: Added to injury report, will play
The Giants added Gano (groin) to their injury report Saturday, but he doesn't have an injury designation and will play Sunday versus Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
This is the first report of the veteran kicker dealing with a groin injury, but the issue doesn't appear to be serious since Gano wasn't given an injury designation. Nonetheless, fantasy managers who roster Gano may want to seek an alternate option since there's a chance that the issue could impact how New York elects to deploy him, especially in situations that would typically call for a long field-goal try. As it is, Gano's fantasy standing is shaky given the state of New York's offense -- the team put up only six points (all on Gano field goals) Week 1 against Minnesota.

Tyler Bass K | BUF
Bills' Tyler Bass: Converts one of two FGAs in win
Bass converted one of two field-goal attempts during Thursday's 31-10 win over the Dolphins. He also made all four of his extra-point tries.
Bass missed a field-goal try wide left from 45 yards out in the fourth quarter, but his number of extra-point attempts bolstered his production for a second straight week. As long as Josh Allen and the Bills offense can keep up its momentum, Bass will benefit from plentiful scoring opportunities again Week 3 against the Jaguars on Monday Night Football.

Jason Sanders K | MIA
Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Converts only FGA in TNF loss
Sanders converted his only-field goal attempt and his lone extra-point try during Thursday night's 31-10 loss to the Bills.
The Dolphins' offense struggled mightily Thursday, leaving Sanders to cope with a game script that demanded the team to forsake field-goal opportunities. With Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) looking uncertain to play Week 3 against Seattle, and potentially longer, Sanders' scoring prospects could be minimized by a limited offense for the foreseeable future.
