  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Drills everything Sunday

    Myers connected on a 24-yard field goal and two extra points in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Eagles.

    Myers battled through a hip injury during the practice week but showed no ill effects, as he made every kick for a second straight week. The 28-year-old has now made 15 of 20 field goals, including every try under 40 yards. The Seahawks will host the Vikings in Week 13.

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Panthers' Joey Slye: Costs Panthers in Week 12

    Slye missed a 28-yard field goal as well as two extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Saints. He finished with seven points total, making field goals from 41 and 52 yards as well as one extra point.

    Slye was largely to blame for Carolina's loss, as his stunning field-goal miss came with just two minutes remaining. The rookie also failed on two extra-point efforts, wasting away further opportunities. Although his seven points actually marked his most since Week 6, Slye will still be very disappointed by Sunday's showing.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Flawless in loss

    Sanders made his only field-goal try and all three extra-point attempts during Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Browns.

    Sanders continues to be serviceable for the Dolphins this season, but he doesn't warrant fantasy consideration due to the team's inconsistent performance on offense. The second-year pro has a tough matchup against the Eagles on deck Week 13.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Saints' Wil Lutz: Nails game-winner

    Wil Lutz made both of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point attempts in the Saints' 34-31 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    It was another solid outing for New Orleans' kicker as he drilled all six of his attempts in the narrow victory. The most important make of the night was his 33-yarder as time expired to lift the Saints to a three-point win over their division rivals. With plenty of accuracy and plenty of opportunity, Lutz is an elite weekly option.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Buccaneers' Matt Gay: Scuffles on extra points in win

    Gay drilled his only field-goal attempt from 32 yards but made only two of five extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 35-22 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Gay unexpectedly found extra-point tries to be a significant challenge Sunday, missing more attempts (three) than he had all season (two). The rookie did up his field-goal accuracy to 87.5 percent with his 1-for-1 showing in that department Sunday, and despite the unexpected hiccups, he remains a highly appealing fantasy option in Week 13 versus the Jaguars.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYG

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Perfect during Week 12 loss

    Koo went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and converted on his lone extra-point try during Sunday's 35-22 loss to the Buccaneers.

    The former Chargers kicker has been extremely efficient in the early going of his Falcons career, knocking down 10 of 11 field goals and seven of seven PATs. During Sunday's inter-divisional showdown of sub-.500 clubs, Koo converted on field-goal tries of 25, 38 and 40 yards. While he's hit better than 90 percent of his attempts through three games, Koo has yet to be tested from 50-plus yards as Atlanta heads into a Thanksgiving night matchup against a Saints defense that ranks among the top 10 in the NFL with just 2.9 red-zone scoring attempts allowed per game.

  • 49ers' Chase McLaughlin: Starting against Packers

    McLaughlin will serve as the 49ers' kicker for Sunday's game against the Packers with Robbie Gould (hip) inactive.

    For the third straight game, McLaughlin will work as the team's starting kicker. The rookie has been solid, connecting on four of five field goals and all four extra-point tries. Gould is making progress in recovery, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, so McLaughlin's days in the Bay Area may soon be numbered.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Kicks team to victory

    Boswell made all three of his field-goal attempts (26, 26, 47) and his lone extra-point try in Pittsburgh's 16-10 win over Cincinnati on Sunday.

    After suffering his first missed kick under 50 yards last week and averaging just three points in the previous two games, Boswell delivered a nice effort in an otherwise low-scoring affair. With several players still on the mend -- and questions as to who will be under center for Pittsburgh in Week 13 -- fantasy owners should look elsewhere for a kicker against a Cleveland team that held Boswell to one point two weeks ago.

  • Bears' Eddy Pineiro: Misses extra point

    Pineiro converted a pair of field goals along with an extra point in the Bears' 19-14 victory over the Giants on Sunday.

    Although it didn't end up hurting the team, Pineiro missed one of his two extra-point attempts. With his recent struggles, there's room for concern as to whether the Bears will continue to keep him on the roster. This was the first time in four weeks that Pineiro scored more than two fantasy points, making him difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Perfect in Week 12 win

    Fairbairn made both of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point kicks in Thursday's 20-17 win over the Colts .

    Fairbairn connected from 35 and 36 yards and remains a perfect 9-for-9 inside the 40-yard line. His overall productivity, however, has dropped off in 2019, largely due to Houston scoring more touchdowns when entering the red zone. Fairbairn ranks 23rd among kickers with 6.5 points per game.
