    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Afforded just one kick in loss

    Elliott made his lone field-goal attempt in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Giants.

    Elliott was not used for an extra point because the Eagles went for two after both of their touchdowns. The 25-year-old has only seen six attempts over the last six weeks and has missed half of them.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Scores seven points in defeat

    Santos made a pair of field goals and an extra point in Chicago's 19-13 loss to Minnesota on Monday.

    Santos connected on a pair of field goals from less than 45 yards away in the first half, but after converting an extra point following the Bears' return of the second-half kickoff for a touchdown, he wasn't given another opportunity to increase his scoring total. He's now been held to fewer than eight points in three of his last four games, making him an underwhelming weekly fantasy option.

  • Cardinals' Zane Gonzalez: Nails all six kicks Week 10

    Gonzalez made all four field-goal attempts and both point-after tries during Sunday's 32-30 win against the Bills.

    With 14 points during this Week 10 epic, Gonzalez moved into 13th place in total points (74) and 12th in points per game (8.2) among NFL kickers this season. The latter mark is ahead of his 7.9 points per game from a season ago, placing him on the fringe of weekly relevance as a complement to the league's seventh-best scoring attack (29.6 points per game) and the No. 1 offense overall (425.4 yards per game).

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Matt Gay: Will compete for Rams' job

    Gay is expected to be brought to Los Angeles to compete with Austin MacGinnis for the Rams' kicking job, J.B. Long of the Los Angeles Rams Radio Network reports.

    Gay will have to clear COVID-19 protocol before he can participate. and coach Sean McVay expects that to commence by Saturday. Starting kicker Kai Forbath injured his ankle in the Rams' Week 10 over the Seahawks. The fact that Los Angeles is already looking at two potential kickers going forward indicates that Forbath could miss some time. As a result, Gay will look to make an impression once he joins the team.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: First miss of season

    Sanders converted three of four field-goal tries and both of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 29-21 win over the Chargers.

    Sanders' first miss of the season went wide right from 47 yards out in the fourth quarter, but he still boasts a 95 percent field-goal conversion rate on the year. He's seen multiple field-goal tries in four of the last six games.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Drills three field goals in Week 10

    Boswell converted on all three of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 36-10 win over the Bengals.

    Boswell had some struggles in the Steelers' Week 9 win as he missed two extra-point tries, but he was perfect on six kicks against Cincinnati on Sunday. He's converted on all 14 of his field-goal attempts to begin the season, as the Steelers have had a potent offensive attack over the first nine games of 2020.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Drills 61-yard field goal

    Myers made all three field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Rams.

    This was the first time this season that Myers attempted more than two field goals in a game, and he kept his perfect streak alive, connecting on tries from 33, 39 and 61 yards. The 61-yarder is Myers' career high, a franchise record and the league's longest kick of 2020. It was an impressive performance by Myers, and it was a good sign for his fantasy outlook, as the Seahawks offense's recent downturn has allowed him to kick eight field goals over four weeks.

  • Football Team's Dustin Hopkins: Misfires again Sunday

    Hopkins made two of three field-goal attempts and all three extra points in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Lions.

    Hopkins has missed five field goals this year, and his misfire was costly in Sunday's three-point loss. This was the second time in four games Hopkins missed a field goal in a matchup where Washington lost by three or fewer points. Coach Ron Rivera was predictably asked about Hopkins' job security, and he said it was "something we're discussing."

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Misses extra point

    Folk made his lone field-goal attempt and two of three extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Ravens.

    Folk has connected on 14 straight field goals, including seven kicks from beyond 40 yards, but he's missed two extra points in that stretch. His job security isn't in question, and he has a favorable stretch coming up, as three of his next four games are in a dome setting.

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Panthers' Joey Slye: Makes all three kicks

    Slye made his only field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 46-23 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Slye converted from 46 yards on his lone field goal, but with his opportunities limited Sunday, he posted his fourth straight game with single-digit points. Although Slye still sports 81 points through 10 games, his recent outputs have slowed his pace significantly.
