  • Bears' Eddy Pineiro: No field-goal attempts

    Pineiro converted two of three extra-point attempts in Chicago's 20-13 victory over the Lions on Sunday.

    With the Bears scoring three touchdowns while failing to break down in the red zone, Pineiro wasn't called upon for a single field-goal attempt. He's scored five points or fewer in four of his last five games, making him a weak fantasy option.

  • 49ers' Chase McLaughlin: Likely to play Monday

    McLaughlin will likely handle kicking duties Monday against Seattle with Robbie Gould (quadriceps) listed as doubtful.

    McLaughlin signed with the 49ers earlier in the week, and it looks like he won't have to wait long to make his debut. Fantasy owners who forget to remove a bye-week kicker from their lineup can fish McLaughlin up off waivers in a pinch.

  • Mike Badgley K | BUF

    Chargers' Michael Badgley: Does little in loss

    Badgley converted his lone field-goal attempt and also connected on all three extra-point attempts in the 26-24 loss Thursday to the Raiders.

    Between turnovers and conversions in the red zone, the Chargers simply didn't need to rely on their kicker to score points, ultimately utilizing Badgley for a simple 27-yard attempt late in the third quarter. The second-year kicker should be in for a better day in Week 11 when the Chargers will likely be forced to keep up with the high-scoring Chiefs offense.

  • 49ers' Chase McLaughlin: Joins 49ers

    The 49ers signed McLaughlin to a one-year contract Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    McLaughlin's opportunity in San Francisco comes with Robbie Gould nursing a strained quad. In the event that Gould isn't able to fully recover in time for Monday's tilt against the Seahawks, McLaughlin would be in line to handle kicking duties. The Illinois product appeared in four games with the Chargers earlier this season, converting six of nine field-goal attempts and all seven extra-point tries.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Misses field-goal attempt in win

    Carlson made one of his two field-goal attempts and all four extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Lions.

    It was the first game all season where Carlson was called upon for more than one field goal, but the 24-year-old couldn't convert his second chance, sending a 45-yarder wide left. It was his second miss of the season in nine tries.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Misses extra point

    Tucker converted a 39-yard field goal attempt and went 4-for-5 on extra points Sunday against the Patriots.

    Sunday marked just the second time in Tucker's career that he missed an extra point, with the other time coming in Week 7 against the Saints in 2018. Both of those failed extra points came at his home stadium. Still, Tucker paces all kickers in fantasy points per game (9.4) among qualified kickers and is a perfect 17-of-17 on field goals this season.

  • Brett Maher K | LAR

    Cowboys' Brett Maher: Productive in Monday's win

    Maher connected on three of four field-goal attempts while converting all four of his PATs in Monday's win over the Giants.

    The miss was from 54 yards late in the first quarter, but Maher made up for it by drilling a 52-yarder right before halftime. The second-year kicker's 72.2 percent success rate on FGs (13-for-18) through eight games looks sketchy, but three of his five misses have come from 50 yards or more (4-for-7 in total from that range) and he's been successful on all 26 of his extra points.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Nails game-winner as time expires

    Butker hit on all four of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point attempts Sunday against the Vikings.

    Butker's last two field goals were the biggest of the day, as he nailed a 54-yard attempt with less than three minutes left to tie it and a 44-yard attempt to win it as the clock ticked to all zeros. He's knocked home 86 percent (19-for-22) of his field-goal attempts on the year, with two of his three misses coming from 50-plus yards out.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Buccaneers' Matt Gay: Hits six of seven kicks in loss

    Gay made field-goal attempts of 41 and 45 yards, missed a 50-yard try wide left and drilled all four extra-point attempts in the Buccaneers' 40-34 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    The rookie's one miss came at the end of the first half and served as his first from 50 yards and greater this season. Gay has been an excellent source of fantasy production overall, as the combination of Bruce Arians' aggressive offensive scheme and Jameis Winston's tendency to stall drives on occasion have led to an abundance of kicking opportunities. Factoring in Sunday's miss, Gay still sports a solid 84.2 percent success rate on field goals and has also been true on 20 of 22 point-after tries.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Makes three field goals in win

    Elliott made all three of his field-goal attempts but just one of his two extra-point tries in Sunday's 22-14 win over Chicago.

    Elliott finally got a third field-goal chance in a game and converted all of them but missed an extra point for the second week in a row. Despite his highest point total of the year, he'll need to replaced with a bye coming in Week 10.
