  • Blake Grupe K | IND

    Colts' Blake Grupe: Perfect to end 2025

    Grupe converted all three of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 38-30 loss to Houston.

    Grupe was perfect across his five-regular season appearances with Indianapolis, converting all 11 of his field-goal attempts and all 10 of his extra-point tries. He struggled more across his 11 regular-season appearances with the Saints, however, going 18-of-26 on field-goal attempts while nailing all 15 of his PATs in those games. He will be an exclusive rights free agent this offseason, meaning the Colts will have the option to extend Grupe a one-year tender that would prevent him from negotiating with other teams.

  • Patriots' Andy Borregales: Wraps regular season with one miss

    Borregales converted one of two field-goal attempts and all five of his extra-point tries during New England's 38-10 win over the Dolphins in Sunday's regular-season finale.

    Borregales wraps the regular season of his rookie campaign having suited up for all 17 games, and converting 27 of 32 field-goal attempts (84 percent) and 53 of 55 extra-point tries. Impressively, Borregales has converted all four of his attempts from 50-plus yards out so far. He'll look to remain steady as the Patriots enter the AFC Playoffs, beginning with Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the Chargers.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Misses two kicks in win

    Myers connected on two of four field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Saturday's 13-3 win over the 49ers.

    Myers struggled in this crucial divisional game, missing field goals from 47 and 26 yards, but the Seahawks' defense performed superbly to secure the first-round bye. The veteran kicker has now hit 41 of 48 field goals (85 percent) through 17 games, and he has drilled all 48 extra-point attempts. Myers has played in four playoff games with the Seahawks, connecting on five of seven field goals and all eight extra-point attempts.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Bills' Matt Prater: Viewed as 'day-to-day'

    Head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Prater (quadriceps) is "more day-to-day" as the Bills begin preparing for Sunday's wild-card game in Jacksonville, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Prater's nagging right quad injury kept him from kicking in Weeks 16 and 17 and resulted in him being unable to finish this past Sunday's 35-8 win over the Jets, but the aggravation he experienced in the regular-season finale doesn't appear to be viewed as significant. Even so, McDermott acknowledged that while Prater still has a chance at playing in the postseason opener, the Bills plan to bring in other kickers for workouts Tuesday in order to have a replacement option ready to go in case the 41-year-old isn't ready to kick against Jacksonville. Over his 15 appearances during the regular season, Prater knocked down 46 of 49 extra-point tries and 18 of 20 field-goal attempts, with a long conversion of 52 yards.

  • Jake Bates K | DET

    Lions' Jake Bates: Converts 27 FGAs in second season

    Bates went 27-for-34 on field-goal attempts and made 54 of 56 PATs over 17 games during the 2025 regular season.

    Bates took step back in his second season in Detroit from a field-goal percentage standpoint, converting 79 percent of his tries after making 90 percent in his rookie campaign. Most notably, the kicker struggled from 50-plus yards, going 4-for-9 on attempts from that range. Bates will enter the offseason as a free agent, but it'd be a surprise if the Lions weren't interested in re-signing him.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: No opportunities in finale

    Santos did not attempt a kick in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Santos provided a stable weekly fantasy floor across the season, scoring fewer than six points in only two games while finishing with a high of 13 points. However, his efficiency continued to trend down after failing to top 84.0 percent accuracy for the second straight year. He is signed with Chicago through 2027 but offers limited upside relative to other fantasy kickers.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Ties NFL record in win

    Fairbairn successfully converted six of six field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 38-30 win over Indianapolis.

    Fairbairn, who tied a franchise record for field goals in a single game, upped his season total to 44 field goals, which tied an NFL single-season record set by David Akers in 2011 for the 49ers. Fairbairn, who missed two games in 2025 due to injury, converted 44 of 48 attempts (91.6 percent) and all 28 of his extra-point tries in 2025. He finished second in the NFL scoring with 160 points, behind only Seattle's Jason Myers (171).

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Bills' Matt Prater: Won't return Sunday

    Prater has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Jets due to a right quadriceps injury.

    Prater had missed the Bills' prior two games due to the same issue, which he appears to have been aggravated at some point during Sunday's game. Punter Mitch Wishnowsky will serve as the kicker on kickoffs, but the Bills will likely go for two-point conversions after touchdowns with Prater done for the day. It's bad news for the Bills, as Tyler Bass (hip - IR) is on the shelf for the rest of the season, and Prater is now in jeopardy of being sidelined for the wild-card round of the AFC playoffs. Buffalo does not currently have a kicker on the practice squad.

  • Joshua Karty K | ARI

    Cardinals' Joshua Karty: Inactive for Week 18

    Karty (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

    Karty was signed to the Cardinals' active roster from the Rams' practice squad Dec. 23, but the second-year kicker is a healthy scratch for the final two games of the regular season. Chad Ryland will serve as Arizona's kicker for Sunday's regular-season finale.

  • 49ers' Eddy Pineiro: Provides only offense for SF

    Pineiro converted his only field-goal attempt of 48 yards in Saturday's 13-3 loss to Seattle.

    Pineiro was the only player for the 49ers to make an impact on the box score after scoring his team's only points in a forgettable offensive showing Saturday. The 29-year-old took over for released kicker Jake Moody in Week 2 of the regular season and never looked back, nailing all but one of his 29 FGA with the only miss coming from 50-plus yards out. Pineiro will become an unrestricted free agent this upcoming offseason, but it would be surprising if the 49ers didn't re-sign him after he saved the franchise's catastrophic kicking situation.
