Greg Zuerlein K | NYJ
Rams' Greg Zuerlein: Quiet in loss to 49ers
Zuerlein didn't attempt a field goal and connected on his lone extra-point kick during Sunday's 20-7 loss to San Francisco.
Los Angeles totaled just 157 yards and generated only 10 first downs Sunday, so the blame for Zuerlein's poor fantasy showing hardly lands on his shoulders. It's probably best viewed as a blip on the radar, though. Favorable matchups against Atlanta and Cincinnati are up next, and Zuerlein posted solid numbers through his first five games of the season.

Jason Myers K | SEA
Seahawks' Jason Myers: Misses extra point
Myers converted two field-goal attempts but missed an extra point in Sunday's 32-28 win over the Browns.
This was the first extra point Myers missed all year, but he made field goals from 38 and 20 yards. Myers has now made every try under 40 yards, and he's connected on just one of three attempts from beyond. He'll look to get back on track in Week 7 against the Ravens.

Mike Badgley K | BUF
Chargers' Michael Badgley: On track to start kicking again
Coach Anthony Lynn said Badgley (groin) is expected to start kicking at some point this week, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Even if Badgley is able to kick this week, that doesn't guarantee he'll be back for Sunday's game against the Titans. In fact, he was expected to return earlier this year but suffered a setback, so the Chargers may choose to be cautious with the second-year kicker. Until he's ready to go, Chase McLaughlin will remain the Chargers' kicker.

Chase McLaughlin K | TB
Chargers' Chase McLaughlin: Misses another field goal
McLaughlin made one of two field-goal tries and both extra points in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Steelers.
McLaughlin missed a 43-yard try in the first half, so he has now converted on three of five field goals, including both attempts under 40 yards. His days in Los Angeles are likely numbered, as Michael Badgley (groin) will resume kicking this week. However, Badgley may not be ready for Sunday's game against the Titans, which would give McLaughlin one more game to prove himself to the other teams who may be looking for a new kicker midseason.

Jason Sanders K | MIA
Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Perfect in loss
Sanders made his only field-goal attempt and his lone extra-point try during Sunday's loss to Washington.
Sanders continues to boast remarkable accuracy while being held back by a struggling offense. He remains off the fantasy radar in most formats, and Week 7's matchup against the Bills bodes to be especially unfavorable.
-
Dustin Hopkins K | CLE
Redskins' Dustin Hopkins: One miss in win
Hopkins made one of two field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try during Sunday's 17-16 win over the Dolphins.
Hopkins missed his second field-goal try of the year during the Week 6 win, though he remains perfect in extra-point scenarios. Washington's offense has struggled mightily in recent weeks, and Hopkins is facing a trio of unfavorable upcoming matchups against the 49ers, the Vikings and the Bills.

Zane Gonzalez K | ATL
Cardinals' Zane Gonzalez: Perfect in win
Gonzalez made both field-goal attempts and all four extra-point tries during Sunday's 34-33 win over the Falcons.
Gonzalez has been a strong fantasy asset all season, having converted 16 of 19 field-goal attempts across six contests. He's also made all 10 extra-point tries. The third-year kicker is set for a favorable matchup against the Giants in Week 7.

Joey Slye K | TEN
Panthers' Joey Slye: Hits double digits again
Slye made three of five field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-26 win over the Buccaneers.
Slye converted from 49, 46 and 29 yards on his respective field-goal makes, but missed a rarely seen, 60-yard fair-catch kick as the first-half clock expired. Like that attempt, he also missed wide right from 41 yards in the second half. Despite those failures, however, Slye still notched an impressive 13 points, giving him 56 through Carolina's first six outings.

Ka'imi Fairbairn K | HOU
Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: More missed kicks
Fairbairn converted one of two field-goal attempts and two of three extra-point attempts in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Chiefs in Week 6.
Fairbairn has missed kicks in each of the last four games, although none have been costly. At some point, however, the sheer volume of misses could cost him a job, and last year's leading scorer among kickers is sitting at 17th this season. Some of that is due to Houston's improvement in the red zone, but Fairbairn has missed seven kicks (four extra points, three field goals) through the first six weeks.

Chris Boswell K | PIT
Steelers' Chris Boswell: Six points in win
Boswell hit his only field-goal (20) and all three PATs in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Chargers.
With Devlin Hodges making his first NFL start and the offense already without Jaylen Samuels (concussion) and James Washington (shoulder), Pittsburgh still managed to jump out to a 24-0 lead, with Boswell converting all his kicks. After losing James Conner (quadricep) the offense sputtered, and Boswell didn't get another opportunity to score in the final 23 minutes. With a Week 7 bye, the offense has time to heal heading into a Week 8 matchup with the 0-5 Dolphins.
