  • Bears' Eddy Pineiro: Quiet performance

    Pineiro converted a pair of extra points in the Bears' 22-14 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    During the first half of the game, Chicago picked up just one first down, and then playing from way behind in the second half, the only work Pineiro saw was extra-point attempts. Although he's recorded 10 points in three different games, he's failed to reach five points in four other contests, making him a very inconsistent fantasy option.

  • Cardinals' Zane Gonzalez: Accrues five points Thursday

    Gonzalez hit his only field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries during Thursday's 28-25 defeat to the 49ers.

    Gonzalez attempted between two and five field goals in each of the first eight games of the season, so Thursday's one try marked a season low. Moreover, he missed out on a PAT when the Cardinals went for two to cut the lead to three following Andy Isabella's 88-yard TD catch with less than five minutes remaining. Gonzalez will look to bounce back in a Week 10 matchup in Tampa Bay.

    Panthers' Graham Gano: Recovering from surgery

    Gano recently underwent surgery to address his left knee injury, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Gano's knee injury, the severity of which caused him to be placed on season-ending injured reserve, was previously referred to as soreness. He's working to fully recover in time for the 2020 campaign.

    Chargers' Michael Badgley: Ready to kick Week 9

    Badgley (groin) has been cleared to handle the Chargers' kicking duties in Sunday's game against the Packers, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Badgley logged a trio of full practices last week before being deemed inactive for the Chargers' eventual win over the Bears, but Los Angeles finally seems confident that he's ready to make his season debut. According to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times, coach Anthony Lynn said Wednesday that Badgley will be ready to handle both kickoffs and field-goal attempts Week 9, something that was foreshadowed by the Chargers' release of Chase McLaughlin on Tuesday. Badgley was one of the NFL's most proficient kickers in 2018, converting 15 of 16 field-goal attempts and 27 of 28 extra-point tries.

  • Redskins' Dustin Hopkins: Perfect in Week 8

    Hopkins made all three of his field-goal tries but did not attempt an extra point in Week 8's 19-9 loss to the Vikings.

    Hopkins converted from 21, 30 and 43 yards on his respective attempts, scoring the entirety of Washington's points. That tally saw him match his season high, but the Redskins' inability to generate offense really restricts his upside overall. Through eight games, Hopkins sports just 33 points.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Scores six points

    Carlson made his only field-goal attempt as well as all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Texans.

    Carlson converted from 44 yards on his lone field goal, and by nailing all his extra points, he remains with just one miss on his 26 total kicking attempts this season. Through seven games, Carlson has notched 37 points, including three straight with six points following Sunday's showing.

    Chargers' Michael Badgley: Slated to return against Packers

    Following Chase McLaughlin being placed on waivers, Badgley (groin) is expected to play Sunday against the Packers.

    Badgley was a full participant for all three practices last week, but the Chargers afforded him additional rest Week 8. The departure of McLaughlin signals the Chargers are comfortable with Badgley's recovery, so he's in line to make his season debut Sunday. Badgley was automatic last year, connecting on 15 of 16 field-goal attempts and 27 of 28 extra-point tries.

  • Chase McLaughlin: Let go by Chargers

    The Chargers waived McLaughlin on Tuesday.

    The move signals Michael Badgley (groin), who participated fully in practice last week, is slated to resume kicking duties Sunday against the Packers. McLaughlin converted on six of nine field-goal attempts -- he connected on just two of five tries over 40 yards -- and all seven extra points during his four-game stint with the Chargers.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Winds up with Pats

    The Patriots signed Folk on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Folk is the second kicker to attempt to replace the injured Stephen Gostkowski (hip), who is on IR. Before Folk, Mike Nugent nailed five of eight field-goal attempts and 15 of 16 point-after tries in four games. As a result, Folk should have plenty of opportunities to produce.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYG

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Finds home in Atlanta

    The Falcons signed Koo on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Koo slots in for jettisoned long-time Falcon Matt Bryant. This marks Koo's second stint in the NFL after a four-game run with the Chargers to start the 2017 campaign. In the meantime, the Georgia Southern product has spent time with the Atlanta Legends of the AAF and had a brief spell on the Patriots' practice squad earlier this month.
