    Colts' Matt Gay: All clear for Week 2

    Gay (sports hernia) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

    Gay sat out the Colts' Week 1 loss to the Texans while recovering from sports hernia surgery, but head coach Shane Steichen confirmed Wednesday that the kicker is "good to go" for Sunday's road matchup in Green Bay, per George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin. During the 2023 season, Gay appeared in all 17 games and converted 33 of 41 field-goal attempts -- including an 8-for-13 mark from 50-plus yards -- while knocking down 35 of 36 extra-point tries.

  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Productive in win

    Dicker connected on all three field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 22-10 win over the Raiders.

    Dicker was the Chargers' only source of points through three quarters, hitting field goals from 53, 25 and 24 yards out, one in each quarter. The Texas product's PAT would come on a J.K. Dobbins touchdown to start the fourth quarter that gave the Chargers the lead for good.

  • Younghoe Koo K | ATL

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Perfect but quiet

    Koo made his only extra-point try and field goal attempt in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.

    Koo kicked a 24-yard field goal on the Falcons' opening drive, then added the extra point on a Kyle Pitts touchdown late in the second quarter. Other than the kickoff to open the second half, the Georgia Southern product remained on the sideline for the remainder of the matchup. Next up for Koo and the Falcons is a Week 2 matchup on MNF against the Eagles.

    Colts' Matt Gay: Should play Week 2

    Head coach Shane Steichen stated that Gay (sports hernia) is "good to go" for Sunday's game against the Packers, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

    Gay is expected to return to practice Wednesday after being out of action since undergoing surgery, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. The Utah product was replaced by Spencer Shrader for Week 1's loss to the Texans, who has since reverted to the team's practice squad. However, an official word on who will be kicking for the Colts in Week 2 won't come until Gay is absent from the team's injury report.

  • Jets' Greg Zuerlein: No FG attempts Monday

    Zuerlein made his lone PAT attempt and didn't attempt a field goal in Monday's 32-19 loss to the 49ers.

    Zuerlein's coming off a strong season in which he made 35 of 38 field-goal attempts, but the veteran kicker didn't get a chance to show off his big leg Monday as San Francisco dominated time of possession. Forced to play catch-up, the Jets went for two after two of their three touchdowns. Zuerlein will hope to get more opportunities in Week 2 against the Titans.

  • Greg Joseph K | NYG

    Greg Joseph: Gets chance in Detroit

    Joseph was added to the Lions' practice squad Tuesday according to his agent, reports Brett Tessler.

    Joseph, a seven-year veteran, spent the prior three seasons with the Vikings. He subsequently competed for the Packers' kicking job during the offseason but was ultimately cut. Detroit's kicker, Jake Bates, was a perfect 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts in his debut in Week 1. Joseph would now be in line to fill in should he be required to do so.

  • Jake Moody K | SF

    49ers' Jake Moody: Drops 20 points in Week 1

    Moody converted six-of-six field-goal attempts and both of his point-after tries in Monday's 32-19 win over the Jets.

    The 49ers' offense moved the ball well Monday while struggling to finish off drives, providing ample opportunities for Moody to post a monster fantasy score. The 2023 third-round pick made 84 percent of his field-goal attempts as a rookie and is off to a tremendous start following his Week 1 output. Moody should be considered a strong fantasy option heading into Sunday's tilt against the Vikings.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Broncos' Wil Lutz: Perfect on kicks

    Lutz made all three of his field-goal tries while converting his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Seahawks.

    On a day when the Broncos struggled to move the ball offensively, Lutz was able to make the most of his opportunities by converting every kick he attempted. Though Denver's offense could struggle to put up points this season with rookie quarterback Bo Nix at the helm, the veteran kicker could continue to see enough opportunities to be fantasy relevant when the Broncos' drives stall in scoring range. Lutz will look to build upon his solid performance when the Broncos host the Steelers in Week 2.

  • Commanders' Austin Seibert: Replacing York at kicker

    Seibert signed a contract with the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.

    Seibert will take over as Washington's new kicker beginning with Sunday's game versus the Giants in the wake of the Commanders cutting Cade York, who missed 47- and 56-yard field goal attempts in the team's Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers. Since entering the NFL in 2019, Seibert has bounced around between five organizations and has appeared in 31 career games while converting 45 of 56 field-goal attempts (80.4 percent) and 56 of 62 extra-point tries (90.3 percent).

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Misses 49-yard attempt in loss

    Carlson made one of two field-goal attempts and converted his only extra-point try in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Chargers.

    Carlson opened his 2024 campaign on the wrong foot with a wide-right miss from 49 yards out late in the third quarter, but he quickly rebounded with a 32-yard make on the Raiders' very next drive to salvage a four-point day. An even more difficult matchup awaits outdoors in Baltimore against the Ravens in Week 2, and the Raiders' offensive concerns further limit Carlson's ceiling.
