  • Colts' Chase McLaughlin: Makes lone field-goal attempt

    McLaughlin converted his only field-goal attempt and all five extra-point attempts during Sunday's 38-6 win over the Panthers.

    The 23-year-old made his only field goal during the third quarter as the Colts were seemingly in command of this contest from the start. McLaughlin is now 3-for-4 on field goals and 9-for-9 on extra points in three games since taking over for Adam Vinatieri (knee).

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Converts all four kicks

    Folk made all three field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point attempt during Saturday's 24-17 win over the Bills.

    Folk continued his strong campaign for New England by converting from 20, 36 and 51 yards in the pivotal divisional matchup. The 35-year-old is 13-for-16 on field goals and 9-for-9 on extra points in six games, though two of those misses came from 40-plus yards in brutal weather Week 12.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Saints' Wil Lutz: Drills six kicks in win

    Lutz made his only field-goal attempt and connected on all five of his extra-point tries in the Saints' 38-28 win over the Titans on Sunday.

    Lutz was perfect once again, connecting on all six of his kicks in Sunday's win. The performance extends his streak of perfection to seven games, as he's now made 16 of 16 field-goal attempts and 23 of 23 extra-point tries since returning from the Week 9 bye. Lutz will look to continue his mistake-free stretch in Week 17 when the Saints travel to Carolina.

  • Bears' Eddy Pineiro: Collects three points

    Pineiro made his only field-goal attempt in the Bears' 26-3 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Pineiro was good from 46 yards out, and he failed to receive a couple other chances to kick when the Bears were forced to throw the ball on fourth downs late in the game. He's failed to top seven points in any of his last eight games, and he'll be a low-upside lineup option in Week 17 against the Vikings.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYG

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Misses another kick

    Koo went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on PATs during Sunday's 24-12 win against the Jaguars.

    The 25-year-old may be the most accomplished onside kicker of the 2019 NFL season, while he's gone 82.4 percent on field goals since Week 11. Upcoming next is a promising opportunity for Koo if he can level out his consistency, with Atlanta taking on a Buccaneers team that ranks tied for 32nd in the NFL with 2.5 field-goal attempts allowed per game.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Hurt by offensive struggles

    Boswell made his lone field-goal (49 yards) and extra-point attempt in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Jets.

    This was a repeat of Boswell's performance in Week 15 as Pittsburgh's offense continues to be anemic. Although he scored 11 points against Baltimore earlier this season, Boswell shouldn't be counted on by fantasy owners still playing in Week 17.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Active as expected Week 16

    Sanders (illness) is active for Sunday's Week 16 tilt against the Bengals.

    This merely serves as official confirmation of what was already expected, as coach Brian Flores had stated he expected Sanders to play, and the Dolphins had not brought in any other placekickers as a contingency plan. Sanders will thus be available to face a Bengals squad that's allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to kickers (8.6) in standard scoring formats.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Delivers division-clinching win

    Fairbairn successfully converted all three field-goal attempts and two extra-point kicks in Saturday's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay in Week 16.

    In a throwback to 2018, the Texans' offense stalled three times in the Buccaneers' red zone and needed Fairbairn to bail things out. He did so from 32, 25 and 37 yards, the last one being the game-winning score that clinched the AFC South for the Texans. Fairbairn has 98 points, which is middle of the pack among kickers, entering the regular-season finale against the Titans next week.

  • Rams' Greg Zuerlein: Available Saturday

    Zuerlein (quadriceps) is active for Saturday's game at San Francisco, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Zuerlein didn't practice this week due to a strained right quad, but his availability nonetheless was contingent on his ability to kick Friday. When the Rams didn't sign another kicker before this game, it was a sign that he got through the session without issue. He'll look to fare better than he did against the 49ers in Week 6, when he didn't attempt a field goal and made his sole point-after try.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Buccaneers' Matt Gay: Gets back in game

    Gay (undisclosed) has returned to action in Saturday's game against the Texans.

    After getting banged up on a blocked kick return, Gay came back in and converted a 50-yard field-goal attempt. He appears no worse for wear and should be good to go for the remainder of Saturday's tilt.
