  • Mike Badgley K | BUF

    Chargers' Michael Badgley: Nails two field goals

    Badgley made both of his field-goal attempts and added two extra points in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Chiefs.

    The Chargers' offense looked pretty impressive after rookie quarterback Justin Herbert stepped in for the injured Tyrod Taylor (ribs), which set Badgley up nicely for extra points. Badgley's only missed field goal this season came from 50 yards. After his 43-yard attempt this week was a success, the 25-year-old has yet to miss a kick from 40 yards or shorter this season. Next week's game against the Panthers should set up well for Badgley, as the Panthers have allowed a total of six field goals through two weeks.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Automatic in Houston

    Tucker connected on all four of his field goal attempts Sunday and converted all three of his extra point attempts.

    Tucker was busy again Sunday with seven total kicks and he continued his perfect start to the season. According to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, Tucker has now made 65 consecutive field goals from 40 yards or closer. Tucker leads all kickers in fantasy points with 23.0 through two games.

  • Colts' Rodrigo Blankenship: Hits all six kicks

    Blankenship connected on all four field goals and two extra points in Sunday's 28-11 win over the Vikings.

    Blankenship missed a 30-yard field goal in Week 1, but the undrafted free agent bounced back with perfection against Minnesota, including a 44-yard field goal. The Colts have moved the ball well with Philip Rivers under center, and they draw another favorable matchup in Week 3 with the Jets coming to town.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Misses kick in close loss

    Gano made two of three field goals and his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Bears.

    Gano missed a 57-yard field goal wide left in the waning seconds of the first half, a mistake that is highlighted further by the Giants' four-point loss in which they were on the 10-yard line as time expired. Still, Gano has a strong track record, and his job won't be in jeopardy at this time. He'll look to bounce back in Week 3 versus the 49ers' depleted defense, although the Giants' offense will be without Saquon Barkley (knee) and possibly Sterling Shepard (toe) as well.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Misses long field goal

    Folk made two of three field goals and all three extra points in Sunday's 35-30 loss to the Seahawks.

    Folk sent a 51-yard field goal wide left late in the second quarter, a miss that had reprecussions on the final score. This comes after Folk misfired ona 45-yard attempt in Week 1. However, coach Bill Belichick reiterated Monday that "[Folk] is our kicker," according to Doug Kyed of NESN.com. Expect the veteran to be in the lineup for Week 3's showdown against the Raiders, but his leash could be getting shorter with rookie fifth-round pick Justin Rohrwasser on the practice squad.

  • Football Team's Dustin Hopkins: Drills lone kick

    Hopkins connected on a 24-yard field goal -- his lone kick -- in Sunday's 30-15 loss to the Cardinals.

    The Football Team never got into field-goal range in the first half, and they entered halftime down 20-0. As a result, Hopkins was only afforded one field-goal try, as Washington attempted two-point conversions following both touchdowns in the fourth quarter. These sorts of game scripts won't be unusual for Washington this season, but considering the Browns have let up at least 30 points in both games this year, Hopkins could have a decent opportunity in Week 3.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Drills five extra points

    Myers made all five extra-point tries in Sunday's 35-30 win over the Patriots.

    The Seahawks took three trips to the red zone, but Russell Wilson tossed a touchdown each time, adding two more deep TD passes as well. That meant Myers didn't get any field-goal opportunities in Week 2, although he was perfect on extra points. It's disappointing for fantasy managers, but the Seahawks are highly unlikely to sustain Sunday's red-zone efficiency, meaning Myers is likely due for positive regression in Week 3 versus the Cowboys.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Lions' Matt Prater: Misses from long distance

    Prater missed his only field-goal attempt but converted all three extra-point tries during Sunday's 42-21 loss to Green Bay.

    Detroit has struggled to move the ball in the absence of two key offensive pieces, receiver Kenny Golladay (hamstring) and lineman Halapoulivaati Vaitai (foot). Combined with the Lions' inability to find the end zone when they were able to get into scoring position Sunday, Prater ultimately wound up with a single field-goal attempt from 57 yards out, which he missed wide right. If Golladay and Vaitai are able to return in Week 3 -- which seems possible -- Prater could be in for a bounce-back performance against a Cardinals team that has pushed the tempo (79.5 offensive snaps per game) through two weeks into the 2020 campaign.

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Flawless Week 2

    Bass connected on his only field-goal try -- a 39-yarder -- and made all four extra-point attempts in Sunday's win over Miami.

    The field goal was ultimately the difference in the 31-28 win, as Bass looked a lot more comfortable than a shaky Week 1 that might have had some questioning why he was kept over longtime veteran Stephen Hauschka. Bass should have some leash as an actual draft pick -- rare for a kicker -- though playing for a team that should be in contention this season and having a number of important games will mean he'll have to produce like he did in Week 2.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Banks two long FGs in loss

    Sanders converted both of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 33-28 loss to the Bills.

    Sanders made a kick from 52 yards just before halftime, and he then nailed his final try from 45 yards on the first drive of the fourth quarter. The third-year pro is perfect on the year through two contests, and he could see a slight uptick in opportunities against the Jaguars on Thursday if the contest evolves into a low-scoring affair.
