The Texans recently brought Maher in for a visit, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Houston's current placekicker, Ka'imi Fairbairn, has missed just one kick in 2020 and is successful on 83.8 percent of his field-goal attempts during his career. It's unclear if Houston is looking to make a change. Maher has spent time with the Jets, Cowboys, the Browns and the Washington football team during his time in the NFL, and he's also put in time in the Canadian Football League.

Koo (groin) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Koo wasn't able to suit up in Monday's loss to the Packers, but he now looks back to full health. The Falcons have already demoted Elliott Fry back to the practice squad, indicating Koo will be good to go for Atlanta's Week 5 matchup with the Panthers.

Folk made his only field-goal attempt and lone extra-point try in Monday's 26-10 loss to the Chiefs.

Folk was only provided two scoring opportunities and capitalized on them both, with his field goal coming from 43 yards. Although he only produced four points, Folk can be pleased by Monday marking his first outing without a miss this season, giving him some positive momentum ahead of Week 5's game against the Broncos.

Tucker made his only field-goal attempt as well as all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-17 win over Washington.

Tucker converted from 46 yards on his lone field-goal opportunity Sunday. That make kept his perfect kicking record intact so far and helped bring his season total to 38 points through four games.

Butker knocked home both of his field-goal attempts and two of his three field-goal attempts Monday versus the Patriots.

Butker has surprisingly misfired on an extra-point attempt in each of the last three weeks after missing just three of his 48 attempts last season. On the plus side, he was perfect on field goals, which are much more valuable from a fantasy perspective. Butker has attempted at least two field goals in three of the four games and should continue to see ample attempts behind a high-powered Chiefs offense.

Badgley made one of his two field-goal attempts and added four extra points in Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Buccaneers.

Badgley successfully converted a 53-yard field goal and connected on all four of his extra points in Tampa Bay. The third-year kicker has now only missed two field goals this season. The Chargers' offense has been unusually successful in converting scoring opportunities, thus limiting the need for Badgley.

Gonzalez did not attempt a field goal but made all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Panthers.

Gonzalez didn't get many opportunities to score, but he at least converted each effort when called upon. Although he's managed just eight points over the past two weeks, his matchup against a poor Jets team this Sunday could offer more chances to make an impact.

Carlson made all three of his field-goal attempts and converted both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Bills.

Carlson was a bright spot for the Raiders in Week 4, improving to a 9-for-10 tally on field-goal attempts while also remaining perfect from 50-plus thanks to his 54-yarder in the first quarter. The Raiders will likely need another solid performance from Carlson on the road Week 5 as they look to keep up with the Chiefs.

Elliott made his lone field-goal attempt in Sunday's 25-20 win over San Francisco. He also made both of his extra-point tries.

The Eagles didn't generate much offense in this one, as one of their touchdowns came on a pick-six. The 25-year-old has missed just one field-goal try out of eight on the season, but the Eagles have a couple of difficult matchups ahead with the Steelers in Week 5 and the Ravens after that.

Fairbairn converted all three field-goal attempts and two extra-point kicks in Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Vikings.

Fairbairn was the beneficiary of Houston's failure to finish in the red-zone (zero TDs in three trips), although he got a chance to show off his leg with a boot from 50 yards out. His 11 points were a season high and marked his second double-digit tally of the season. The four-year kicker has been inconsistent through four weeks -- 2, 10, 3, 11 points -- which is befitting the NFL's 28th-ranked scoring offense (20.0 PPG).
