Boswell converted on his lone field-goal attempt in Sunday's 38-29 win over the Eagles en route to recording eight points.

Boswell has now gone 6-for-6 on his field-goal attempts to begin the season after converting on a 41-yard try Sunday. He also benefited from the high-scoring matchup against Philadelphia, as he was perfect on five extra-point attempts. Through the first four weeks of the season, Boswell has logged 30 points and profiles as a decent fantasy option while working behind Pittsburgh's offense.

Carlson made both of his field-goal attempts and converted four of five extra-point tries in Sunday's 40-32 win over the Chiefs.

Carlson ultimately contributed 10 points in the Raiders' upset victory, but a missed extra-point attempt early in the fourth quarter kept him from a perfect performance. He managed to redeem himself with a 43-yard field goal to make it a two-score game with 6:34 remaining, however. Carlson will be able to enjoy the bye week before hosting the Buccaneers for Sunday Night Football in Week 7.

Myers connected on all three extra-point attempts in Sunday's 27-26 win over the Vikings.

Myers continues to be perfect this season, but he's not being challenged much. The 29-year-old kicker has made all 21 extra points this season, and he's attempted just two field goals, making both tries from beyond 40 yards. Being attached to the second-highest scoring offense in the league is usually a fantasy kicker's dream, but the Seahawks have converted on a league-high 88.9 percent of red-zone trips and have been more willing to go for it on fourth down, leaving minimal opportunities for Myers. Since 2010, no team has found the end zone on more than 78 percent of its red-zone opportunities, so the Seahawks should be due for some regression. Perhaps that will come against the Cardinals in Week 7, as they have allowed a 42.9 red-zone conversion rate, the second-lowest figure in the league.

Zuerlein was a perfect 3-for-3 on field goals and 4-for-4 on PATs in Sunday's win over the Giants.

With the Cowboys down 34-31, Zuerlein came through with FGs of 40 yards and 34 yards inside the final two minutes to secure the victory, the second time this season he's kicked a game-winning field goal as time expired. The Dallas offense as a whole will likely take a step backward with Andy Dalton replacing Dak Prescott (ankle) under center, but a less efficient aerial attack could mean more field-goal opportunities for Zuerlein.

Slye made all three of his field-goal attempts and both his extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Falcons.

Slye converted from 38, 39 and 22 yards on his field-goal tries, bringing his tally to 11 points on the day. The second-year pro has notched double-digit points in three of five outings this season, with Sunday's performance marking his second without a missed kick.

Fairbairn converted all three field-goal attempts and was three of three on extra-point kicks in Sunday's 30-14 win over the Jaguars.

Houston's offense moved the ball more consistently in Week 5, reaping the benefits of an effective running game, which enabled Fairbairn to post a season-high 12 points. He's scored 23 points over the last two weeks, and Sunday's game was third in five contests that he's converted at least three field goals.

Elliott missed his only field-goal attempt but was good on all three extra-point tries in Sunday's 38-29 loss to Pittsburgh.

Elliott wasn't called to kick a field goal until the Eagles' final drive of the game, and he sent the 57-yard attempt wide right. His only two misses on the year have come from more than 50 yards. The 25-year-old will have a chance to redeem himself at home against Baltimore in Week 6.

Koo went 3-for-3 on field-goal tries while converting his lone point-after attempt during Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Panthers.

After being ruled out for Atlanta's Week 4 loss to the Packers with a groin injury, Koo resumed his strong 2020 campaign against Carolina by pushing his field-goal conversion rate to 91.7 percent. Coupling his efficient FG rate with his success on onside kicks, Koo has been a fine special-teams asset in 12 career appearances for the Falcons. Dependability on extra points has been the area of Koo's game where there remains room for improvement, as he has already missed two of nine attempts on the year.

Sanders converted all five field-goal attempts and each of his four extra-point tries during Sunday's 43-17 win over the 49ers.

Sanders was automatic in Sunday's upset win, as he has been through the season. Not only is the third-year placekicker perfect through five games, but by beginning the 2020 campaign with 14 consecutive field-goal conversions, he's now set a new franchise record. Coming off back-to-back games with five field goals, Sanders will be a tempting fantasy option for Week 6.

Santos made a pair of field goals and two extra points in the Bears' 20-19 victory over the Buccaneers on Thursday.

Santos hit a 38-yard field goal with a little more than a minute left to give the Bears the win. However, he's averaging just five points per game and therefore remains a low-upside fantasy option.
