Rodrigo Blankenship K | TB
Colts' Rodrigo Blankenship: Converts six kicks
Blankenship made two of three field-goal attempts and all four extra-point attempts during Sunday's 36-7 win over the Jets.
Blankenship converted field goals from 42 and 41 yards Sunday, but he hit the right upright from 41 yards on his miss. It was still a productive day for the 23-year-old, and he's 8-for-10 on field-goal attempts and 8-for-8 on extra-point attempts through three games. A matchup with the Bears in Week 4 represents the toughest defensive test for the Colts in the young season.

Jason Myers K | SEA
Seahawks' Jason Myers: Remains perfect in 2020
Myers hit all four extra points in Sunday's 38-31 win over the Cowboys.
Myers hasn't attempted a field goal since Week 1, but he's still getting plenty of work with Russell Wilson torching opponents for 14 touchdowns through three weeks. Extra points don't get it done for fantasy purposes, but there's no reason to cut Myers loose since he's attached to this high-powered offense.

Younghoe Koo K | NYG
Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Likely to miss time
Koo is expected to miss time due to the groin strain he played through during Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Bears, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Koo managed to tough out his injury Sunday loss, but he wasn't able to handle kickoff duties and also missed one field-goal try and an extra-point attempt. Depending on the severity of the issue, the Falcons could consider placing Koo on IR for a minimum of three weeks. Cameron Nizialek is a candidate to be promoted from the practice squad, though Atlanta could also opt to delve into the free-agent kicker market.

Greg Zuerlein K | NYJ
Cowboys' Greg Zuerlein: Struggles with PATs on Sunday
Zuerlein connected on both his field-goal attempts but only one of three extra points during Sunday's loss to the Seahawks.
One of the PATs was blocked, but the other was purely a miss from Zuerlein, who went a perfect 42-for-42 on extra points with the Rams last year and has never missed more than two in an entire season during his career. He'll look to rebound in Week 4 against a Browns team that's given up nearly 30 points a game so far in 2020.

Nick Folk K | NYJ
Patriots' Nick Folk: Accounts for 12 points
Folk made three field goals and three of four extra-point attempts in Sunday's 36-20 win over the Raiders.
All of Folk's field goals came from within 40 yards, but it's a good sign that he was perfect from that range considering he's missed both field-goal tries from beyond 40 yards this season. The missed extra point didn't have an effect on the final score, but he'll need to clean that up before Week 4's matchup versus the Chiefs.

Dustin Hopkins K | CLE
Football Team's Dustin Hopkins: Misses extra point
Hopkins made two of three extra points but didn't attempt a field goal in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Browns.
Washington's offense was a rollercoaster in Week 3, turning the ball over five times but converting on all three red-zone trips. That didn't bode well for Hopkins, and the kicker also missed an extra point. The team could struggle to move the ball against the Ravens in Week 4, so Hopkins will be a risky fantasy play.

Graham Gano K | NYG
Giants' Graham Gano: Lone scorer against 49ers
Gano drilled all three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 36-9 loss to the 49ers.
It was a rough afternoon for the Giants, so Gano's perfection was one of the long bright spots. He hit kicks from 52, 47 and 42 yards out to produce the Giants' only points. Gano has now connected on six of seven field goals and both extra points this season. The Giants' lethargic offense is a concern for Gano's fantasy outlook, so he is a low-floor player moving forward.

Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Misses 41-yarder in loss
Carlson made two of three field-goal attempts and converted a pair of extra points in Sunday's 36-20 loss to the Patriots.
Carlson missed a 41-yard field-goal attempt wide left for his first failure of the 2020 season after remaining perfect through Week 2, though he still managed to log eight points in New England. The Raiders now return home to Las Vegas for a tough matchup against the undefeated Bills.

Joey Slye K | TEN
Panthers' Joey Slye: Scores 15 points
Slye made all five of his field-goal attempts but missed his only extra-point try in Sunday's 21-16 win over the Chargers.
Slye nailed kicks from 29, 24, 30, 22 and 31 yards as Carolina's offense failed to score touchdowns from in close. The one time the Panthers did find the end zone, however, Slye's extra-point try was blocked. Although he'll be disappointed by having missed two of his five PATs so far, with a season-high 15 points Sunday, Slye still sports a healthy 30 through three weeks.

Ka'imi Fairbairn K | HOU
Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Three points in loss
Fairbairn did not attempt a field goal and was successful on all three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 28-21 loss to Pittsburgh in Week 3.
The Texans' wildly inconsistent offense has rendered Fairbairn unplayable -- he's recorded two, 10 and three points through the first three games. Notably, six of Houston's 10 drives ended in three-and-outs Sunday, naturally capping Fairbairn's upside.
