    Saints' Wil Lutz: Perfect again

    Will Lutz connected on both of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point attempts in the Saints' 34-17 blowout victory over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Both of Lutz's field goals came in the first quarter, as he drilled kicks from 44 and 26-yards out. He's been perfect since the Week 9 bye, going 5-for-5 on field goals and 4-for-4 on extra points.

    Buccaneers' Matt Gay: Impresses with few opportunities

    Gay drilled his only field-goal attempt from 55 yards and also was good on both of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 34-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    The rookie got another opportunity to show off the booming leg that caught the team's eye coming out of college, with Gay drilling his third kick of more than 50 yards in four tries this season. The Buccaneers' offense typically provides Gay with more scoring chances than he saw Sunday, but even in a game where he sees a downturn in opportunity, he can still reward fantasy managers. Gay will hope to square up on multiple field-goal attempts in a Week 12 matchup against the Falcons.

  • 49ers' Chase McLaughlin: Kicking against Cardinals

    McLaughlin will be the 49ers' kicker in Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals because Robbie Gould (quadriceps) is inactive, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    This decision was expected after Gould carried a doubtful tag into this outing. McLaughlin was solid in his first start with the 49ers last week, connecting on three of four field-goal attempts, including two over 40 yards. Although the rookie missed a potential game-winning kick, coach Kyle Shanahan has faith in McLaughlin, who will look to build off of Week 10's performance in this divisional matchup.

  • 49ers' Chase McLaughlin: Likely set for Week 11 kicking duties

    McLaughlin is expected to remain the 49ers' kicker Sunday against the Cardinals with Robbie Gould (quadriceps) listed as doubtful for the contest, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    McLaughlin filled in for Gould in Monday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Seahawks, nailing an extra point and field goals from 39, 43 and 47 yards in regulation but badly missing on a 47-yard game winner will less than three minutes left in the extra period. Despite the misfire, McLaughlin appears set to get another shot at redemption in Week 11, barring an unexpected recovery from Gould over the next two days. The 49ers didn't work out any kickers following the Monday night loss, signaling that they're contend to proceed with McLaughlin until Gould is back to full health.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: One point in loss

    Boswell made his only extra-point attempt in Pittsburgh's 21-7 loss to Cleveland on Thursday night.

    Pittsburgh looked inept offensively in snapping a four-game win streak and Boswell was not immune to the struggle. He pushed his only field-goal attempt wide left and had his fewest points in a game since 2016. Pittsburgh has concerns with several players hurting and quarterback Mason Rudolph struggling heading into Week 12, but Cincinnati allows the second most points in the league to opposing kickers.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Makes clutch kicks

    Myers made both his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Monday night's 27-24 overtime win against the 49ers.

    Myers rebounded in tremendous fashion after missing three kicks in Week 9, as he not only drained a 46-yarder to put Seattle ahead with under two minutes left Monday, but then nailed a 42-yard field goal to clinch victory as time expired in overtime. In doing so, Myers also scored at least eight points for the fifth straight game, bringing his season tally to 69, which currently ranks 12th among kickers.

  • 49ers' Chase McLaughlin: Misses clutch kick

    McLaughlin converted three of four field-goal attempts along with his lone extra-point try in Monday's 27-24 loss to Seattle.

    McLaughlin was filling in for the seasoned Robbie Gould (quadriceps), and his inexperience showed when he horribly botched an attempt to win the game in overtime. In his defense, the rookie kicker did convert twice late in the game to tie up the contest. Gould's status is still unclear for Sunday's matchup with Arizona, but McLaughlin would surely get bypassed if the former is ready to play.

  • Brett Maher K | LAR

    Cowboys' Brett Maher: Crucial miss against Vikings

    Maher connected on one of two field-goal attempts and all three of his extra points in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

    The Cowboys' first drive of the night stalled at the Minnesota 39-yard line, and Maher ended up missing the ensuing 57-yard FG attempt -- setting up the Vikings for their first TD of the night after they exploited the excellent field position. The Dallas kicker did boot a 23-yarder in the fourth quarter, however. Maher has converted only 70 percent (14-for-20) of his field-goal opportunities this season, but four of the six misses have come from 50-plus yards, and he's a perfect 29-for-29 on PATs.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Buccaneers' Matt Gay: Perfect, with an asterisk

    Gay drilled field-goal attempts of 30, 45 and 41 yards and all three of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 30-27 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Gay would have been 2-for-3 if not for the Cardinals being called offsides on his 46-yard misfire wide left early in the fourth quarter. Gay attempted the kick again five yards closer and drilled it to snap 20-20 tie at the time. The rookie now has 12 successful kicks in 13 tries over the last two games, as the Buccaneers' aggressive offense continues to afford him no shortage of scoring opportunities. Factoring in Sunday's production, Gay has an 86.4 percent success rate on field goals and has scored 80 points overall.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Game-tying field goal blocked

    Butker nailed four of his five field-goal attempts and two of his three extra-point attempts Sunday against the Titans.

    Butker was perfect on field goals when he took the field for a game-tying attempt with just three seconds remaining. Unfortunately, that didn't go well, with the Titans blocking his 52-yard attempt as time expired. The final missed kick doesn't detract from his solid overall fantasy day, and there's a good chance he will continue seeing opportunities to kick with Patrick Mahomes piloting a high-powered Chiefs offense.
