  • Cowboys' Greg Zuerlein: Boots game-winning FG in Week 2

    Zuerlein connected on both his field-goal attempts and all four of his PATs in Sunday's comeback win over the Falcons.

    His final kick was clutch, as Zuerlein calmly drilled a 46-yard field goal with zeros on the clock to secure the improbable 40-39 victory. The 32-year-old is off to a solid start to his Dallas tenure, and he should continue to get plenty of scoring opportunities alongside one of the most talent-laden offenses in the NFL.

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Panthers' Joey Slye: Makes all three kicks

    Slye made his lone field-goal attempt as well as both his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Slye, who missed an extra point in Week 1, was perfect on his three kicks Sunday, converting from 23 yards on his only field goal. Through two games, the second-year kicker now sports 15 points.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Perfect in win

    Boswell made his lone field-goal attempt and a trio of extra-point tries in Pittsburgh's 26-21 win over Denver Sunday.

    He converted two PATs and a 21-yard field goal that gave Pittsburgh a 17-3 halftime lead. He remained perfect on the day after halftime, making good on his one point-after attempt in the second half. Allowing a league-worst 12.5 points per game to opposing kickers, Week 3 opponent Houston makes Boswell a must-start option in all formats.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Registers 10-pointer

    Fairbairn made all three of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point kick for 10 points in Sunday's 33-16 loss to the Ravens in Week 2.

    Fairbairn rebounded from a disappointing two-point effort Week 1. The Texans' offense made only two forays into the red zone, so they needed Fairbairn's leg more than they would like, including boots of 44 and 45 yards. Houston's offense hasn't been in sync the first two games, which could make for inconsistency from Fairbairn. Perhaps it's due to the new weapons or a new play-caller, offensive coordinator Tim Kelly. Houston looks to solve it's issues Week 3 on the road against Pittsburgh.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Nails two field goals in loss

    Elliott made both of his field-goal attempts and added one extra point in Sunday's 37-19 loss to the Rams.

    Elliott has put away three of his four field-goal tries this season. His only miss has come from over 50 yards. The Memphis product will likely see more opportunities in Week 3 against the Bengals.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYG

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Knocks down seven kicks

    Koo went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on point-after tries during Sunday's 40-39 loss to the Cowboys.

    One week after Koo converted on his third onside kick attempt in as many tries, Dallas' Greg Zuerlein executed a successful onsider of his own, kick-rolling a ball slowly to the 10-yard threshold and enabling C.J. Goodwin to pounce on the loose ball as soon as he became eligible to do so. Koo wasn't granted the opportunity to execute any special-teams miracles during the Week 2 loss, though he was flawless on his seven combined field goal and PATs. He is now 29-for-32 on field-goal tries in his Falcons career, heading into a Week 3 matchup against the Bears.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Misses field goal

    Santos connected on one of two field-goal attempts in Chicago's 17-13 victory over the Giants on Sunday.

    After posting an impressive nine points in the season opener, the missed field goal by Santos resulted in him posting a disappointing fantasy performance. It's possible next week could be his last game with the Bears if Eddy Pineiro (groin) is activated from injured reserve.

  • Broncos' Brandon McManus: Sinks two PATs in opener

    McManus didn't attempt a field goal in Monday's 16-14 loss to the Titans but made both his PAT attempts.

    McManus didn't get many opportunities, as the Denver offense often failed to move the ball and got into the end zone both times that it got rolling. With a road date against the stingy Steelers defense on tap in Week 2, McManus' kicking opportunities likely will remain limited.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Cairo Santos: Rejoining 53-man roster

    The Bears will sign Santos to their 53-man roster Wednesday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    After Eddy Pineiro (groin) was placed on injured reserve Sept. 8, Santos was elevated from the practice squad a few days later to serve as the Bears' kicker Week 1. He got the job done in Chicago's 27-23 win over the Lions, converting on field goals of 35 and 28 yards while nailing all three of his extra-point attempts. Barring a disastrous performance Week 2 versus the Giants, Santos should remain Chicago's kicker for at least two more games before the Bears decide whether to proceed with him or Pineiro (if healthy) beyond Week 3.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Makes both kicks

    Gano made his only field-goal attempt as well as his lone extra-point try in Monday night's 26-16 loss to the Steelers.

    Gano converted from 21 yards to begin the game, giving the Giants their first three points of the season. The veteran was only called upon once after, however, as New York struggled with consistency offensively. Gano will hope to be more involved in Week 2 versus the Bears.
