  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Lions' Matt Prater: Second field goal in three games

    Prater converted his only field-goal attempt and both of his PATs during Sunday's 27-17 loss to Green Bay.

    The return of Kerryon Johnson didn't bring enough of a lift to the Lions offense to make Prater fantasy-relevant. The limitations of quarterback David Blough simply haven't allowed for many scoring opportunities, and Prater's numbers have suffered. After averaging over 2.2 attempts in the first 11 games of the season, Prater has only attempted five in David Blough's four consecutive starts. It'll remain hard to trust the otherwise dependable Prater during Sunday's season finale against the Packers.

  • Greg Joseph K | LV

    Titans' Greg Joseph: Perfect in debut

    Joseph made all four of his extra-point attempts in the team's Week 16 loss to the Saints.

    Joseph wasn't tested in particularly difficult fashion as he was not asked to attempt a field goal in his debut with the team. However, he did make all four of his extra-point attempts, eliminating mistakes in the kicking game that had plagued the Titans for much of the season. With Ryan Succop on injured reserve (knee), Joseph is likely to serve as the team's kicker in Week 17 against the Texans.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Misses two long kicks in win

    Elliott made one of his three field-goal tries and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's 17-9 victory over the Cowboys.

    Elliott converted a 36-yarder to get Philadelphia out to a 3-0 lead in the first quarter but failed from 53 yards with just 34 seconds remaining in the second, allowing the Cowboys to set up a field goal before the half expired. He'd hook a 55-yard try wide left in the fourth that again set up a Dallas field goal on the succeeding drive. The two attempts from beyond 50 yards were just his second and third of the year.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Connects on 51-yarder

    Myers made a 51-yard field goal and two extra points in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Cardinals.

    It was Myers' second field goal made over 50 yards this year, and he's now made 11 straight field goals, although only three of them were from beyond 40 yards. Myers has made 23 of 28 field goals this year (82 percent) and all 17 from under 40.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Nails game-winning kick in OT

    Sanders made one of two field-goal attempts and all five extra-point tries during Sunday's 38-35 overtime win against the Bengals.

    Sanders missed a 47-yard field-goal try in the fourth quarter, but he made up for the error by maintaining perfect accuracy on point-after tries and sealing the contest in OT as time expired. The second-year placekicker was initially listed as questionable for Week 16 due to an illness but managed to play through the issue.

  • Mike Badgley K | BUF

    Chargers' Michael Badgley: Mundane performance

    Badgley converted his lone field-goal attempt and both his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Raiders.

    Melvin Gordon's ability to capitalize in the red zone ultimately set the stage for another under-performing fantasy day from Badgley. The second-year kicker has attempted just one field goal in each of the last three games, and in four of the last six.

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Panthers' Joey Slye: Tallies six points

    Slye made both his field-goal attempts and didn't attempt any extra points in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Colts.

    Slye accounted for all of his team's points on the day, converting from 27 and 50 yards. The rookie has gone four games without missing since his nightmare performance against the Saints in late November, and he will now look to remain unblemished as New Orleans visits Carolina in Week 17.

  • Cardinals' Zane Gonzalez: Makes five kicks Sunday

    Gonzalez made two of three field-goal attempts and all three extra-point attempts during Sunday's 27-13 win over Seattle.

    Gonzalez missed his first field goal since Week 5 when his 45-yard attempt was blocked during the third quarter, though he still converted from 22 and 46 yards Sunday. The 24-year-old is enjoying a fantastic first full season in Arizona, as he's 30-for-34 on field goals and 31-for-32 on extra points through 15 games.

  • Redskins' Dustin Hopkins: Attempts zero field goals

    Hopkins converted all five extra-points and did not attempt a field goal during Sunday's 41-35 overtime loss to the Giants.

    The 29-year-old didn't attempt a field goal for the third time this season, despite the Redskins posting their highest point total of the year. The 29-year-old is 22-for-27 on field goals and 20-for-21 on extra-point tries through 15 games this season.

  • Rams' Greg Zuerlein: Costly missed field goal

    Zuerlein connected on one of his two field-goal attempts and all four extra-point kicks during Saturday's 34-31 loss to San Francisco.

    While it was early in the third quarter when Zuerlein missed a 52-yard, field-goal attempt, it was still costly. The veteran has missed half of his field-goal kicks over the past four weeks and owns an underwhelming 74.2 conversion percentage for the campaign. It's a disappointing mark after Zuerlein hit 90.3 percent over the previous three seasons, but it is worth noting he missed practices this week because of a quadriceps injury.
