Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Nails 52-yard FG on MNF
Carlson converted his only field-goal attempt in Monday's 15-9 loss to the Falcons, but his lone extra-point try was blocked.
Carlson booted a 52-yard field goal to put the Raiders' first three points on the board early in the second quarter, but his extra-point attempt later in the fourth was blocked. This offense could benefit from quarterback Aidan O'Connell's (knee) potential return for a Week 16 matchup against the Jaguars, which would improve Carlson's outlook as a reliable kicking option.

Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Nursing injury after Monday's game
Head coach Raheem Morris said that Koo "kind of hurt himself a bit" in Monday's 15-9 win over the Raiders, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports. "We'll figure it out more [Wednesday] after the medical things get in," Morris said.
Koo knocked down his lone extra-point try and made field-goal attempts of 48 and 40 yards before missing wide left on his final kick of the night, a 42-yarder with 5:31 remaining in the fourth quarter. It's unclear if the injury Morris alluded to contributed to the miss, but Koo's 73.5 percent FG% in 2024 (25-for-34, including two misses in the 30-39 yard range) is by far a career low.

Brandon McManus K | GB
Packers' Brandon McManus: Delivers in victory
McManus made three field goals and three extra points in Sunday's 30-13 victory over the Seahawks.
Green Bay's offense slowed some after scoring touchdowns on its first two drives, but they remained effective enough to give McManus three field-goal attempts for the second time in three weeks and the fourth time in his eight games with the team. McManus and the Packers will next face a Saints team that ranks middle-of-the-pack against opposing kickers both over the last four weeks and over the course of the campaign.

Bengals' Cade York: Gets spot on roster
The Bengals signed York off their practice squad Tuesday.
York will get a full-time spot on the Bengals' 53-man roster after he had previously been elevated from the practice squad twice to handle kicking duties while Evan McPherson (groin) was on injured reserve. McPherson is eligible to return in Week 18, but the Bengals are likely to be eliminated from playoff contention before then and have no need to rush him back into action for the regular-season finale. Over his first two games as a replacement for McPherson, York has knocked down seven of his eight extra-point tries and has nailed field-goal attempts of 21, 29 and 37 yards.

Cairo Santos K | CHI
Bears' Cairo Santos: Seven points in defeat
Santos was perfect on two field-goal attempts in the Bears' 30-12 loss to the Vikings on Monday.
Santos continues to be limited by the inability of the Chicago offense to put up big scoring totals. On the season, the kicker has posted more than seven points twice, and he remains a low-floor fantasy option.

Will Reichard K | MIN
Vikings' Will Reichard: Perfect in blowout win
Reichard made all three of his field-goal tries and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during Monday's 30-12 win versus the Bears.
Reichard seemed to find a rhythm after hitting a 52-yarder on Minnesota's first drive of the game, bouncing back in a big way after struggling during his prior two appearances. He'll be looking to keep up the positive momentum in Week 16 when the Vikings travel to take on Seattle.

Chase McLaughlin K | TB
Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Prolific afternoon in win
McLaughlin connected on field-goal attempts of 22, 37, 42 and 43 yards and knocked home all four extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 40-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
The veteran kicker racked up 16 total points in the surprisingly comfortable victory, kicking a pair of field goals apiece in the first and second halves. The four made field goals tied a season high for McLaughlin, who'd just set that mark Week 13 against the Panthers. McLaughlin is up to a 92.6 percent success rate on field goals and 95.5 percent on PATs heading into a Week 16 road matchup against the Cowboys that should also afford him plenty of scoring opportunities.

Nick Folk K | TEN
Titans' Nick Folk: Limited to PATs
Folk made all three of his extra-point attempts and did not attempt a field goal in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Bengals.
The only Titans scores came on four trips to the end zone, with the final coming as time expired. That limited Folk to only three extra-point attempts, ending his four-game streak of making multiple field goals. Positively, he has yet to miss an extra-point attempt on the campaign.

Greg Joseph K | WAS
Greg Joseph: Back to practice squad
Joseph reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday.
Joseph handled the kicking duties for the Commanders in Sunday's win against the Saints due to Zane Gonzalez (foot) and Austin Seibert (groin) being sidelined. He made two of three field-goal attempts and converted on both of his extra-point tries in the wi. Joseph could be Washington's kicker against Philadelphia in Week 16 if Gonzalez is unable to make enough progress in his recovery to play.

Cade York K | CIN
Bengals' Cade York: Reverts to practice squad
York reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Monday.
York made his only field-goal attempt and went 4-for-5 on extra-point tries while filling in for Evan McPherson (groin), who is on injured reserve. York will likely continue to serve as the team's kicker in Week 16, as McPherson will remain sidelined for at least two more weeks.
