  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Converts on two field goals

    Boswell made both of his field-goal attempts while missing both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Cowboys.

    Boswell's day started on a low note as he missed his first extra-point try of the game with just over a minute remaining in the second quarter, but he converted on a 59-yard field-goal attempt to finish the first half. The 29-year-old had an extra-point try blocked early in the fourth quarter before converting on his final field-goal attempt of the contest. Boswell has now gone 11-for-11 on his field-goal attempts over the first half of the season, but he's converted on just 24 of his 27 extra-point tries.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Posts five points

    Santos converted a field goal and two extra-point attempts in the Bears' 24-17 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

    With Chicago's offensive line missing multiple starters, the team struggled to consistently move the football, resulting in a poor fantasy line for Santos. Although he's had a pair of strong performances over the past four weeks, he's been held to five points or fewer in four of his last eight games, making him a difficult player to trust in weekly lineups.

  • Jets' Sergio Castillo: Another start expected

    Castillo is expected to serve as the team's top kicker with Sam Ficken (groin) listed as doubtful for Monday's game, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Castillo is expected to make his third straight start in the absence of Ficken, who continues to be bothered by a nagging groin injury. Week 8 was a solid contest for the undrafted free agent as Castillo converted three of his four field-goal attempts, though he did see a kick blocked late in the first half.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Added to injury report

    Folk was added to the injury report Saturday with a back injury and is questionable for Monday's game against the Jets, Zack Cox of NESN.comreports.

    Folk was unable to practice Saturday, but the fact that he's just listed as questionable should give fantasy managers a bit of confidence regarding his game-time status. If Folk is unable to play, Justin Rohrwasser will likely be called up from the practice squad to fill in.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Matt Gay: Signed to practice squad

    Gay was signed to the Colts' practice squad Saturday.

    The kicker is yet to appear in a game as an official Colts player, though he's had two different stints on the team's practice squad. Darius Jackson was waived in a corresponding move.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Matt Gay: Cut from practice squad

    The Colts cut Gay from the practice squad Friday.

    Gay was jettisoned in order to allow Indianapolis to re-sign Darius Jackson. Though he hasn't yet appeared in a game this season, Gay did convert 27 of 35 field-goal attempts across 16 contests with the Buccaneers in 2019.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Makes all three kicks

    Gano made his only field-goal attempt as well as both of his extra-point tries in Monday night's 25-23 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Gano converted from 33 yards on his lone field goal, which helped him maintain his record of just one miss on all 28 of his kicks this season. That consistency has enabled Gano to produce a respectable 59 points through eight games.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Automatic on Sunday

    Tucker converted all three of his extra-point attempts and his lone field-goal attempt -- a 51-yarder -- in Sunday's loss to the Steelers.

    Tucker remained automatic Sunday despite sloppy conditions in Baltimore. He has made two field goals of at least 50 yards this season and ranks sixth among all kickers in fantasy points per game (9.3). Tucker will be in a dome next week when the Ravens take on the Colts in Indianapolis.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Misses extra point

    Myers made a 48-yard field goal but missed one of five extra-point attempts in Sunday's 37-27 win over the 49ers.

    Myers remains perfect on field goals this season, as he's connected on five of five attempts, all coming from beyond 40 yards. He leads the league with 30 extra-point attempts, an expected result of being attached to the league's best offense, but he's rarely trotted out for a field goal because the Seahawks have converted on a league-high 88 percent of red-zone trips. The numbers signal that regression should be on the horizon, as no team has converted on more than 78 percent of red-zone trips since the 2010 season, but this offense shows no signs of slowing down. Myers could be a frustrating, low-upside fantasy kicker as a result, but he's provided some solace by making at least four extra points each week.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Easy day in kicking game

    Butker knocked home all five of his extra-point attempts Sunday versus the Jets.

    Butker didn't have to attempt a field goal Sunday in what turned into a lopsided affair, but he at least busted a string of missed extra-point attempts in four of the last five games. Next up is a Carolina defense that has held opponents to 27 or fewer points in each of the last six games, though there aren't many teams who can match the Chiefs' offense.
