  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Cairo Santos: Let go by Tennessee

    The Titans released Santos on Monday.

    Santos missed all four of his field-goal tries during Sunday's loss to the Bills, and the disastrous day ultimately cost the veteran his roster spot. With Ryan Succop (knee) not eligible to return until Week 8, expect the Titans to sign an interim kicker in the near future.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Perfect kicking day

    Butker nailed his two field-goal attempts and one extra-point attempt Sunday against the Colts.

    Butker and the Chiefs had a relatively slow offensive day thanks to injuries popping up across the board. It marked the first time this season the third-year kicker didn't attempt four extra points. As the Chiefs get healthier in the coming weeks, there should be more opportunities for Butker in the kicking game again.

  • Brett Maher K | LAR

    Cowboys' Brett Maher: Misses two kicks in loss

    Maher converted one of three field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries during Sunday's loss to the Packers.

    Maher's two misses came from 54 and 33 yards, respectively. Across five contests, Maher has converted just four of seven field-goal tries, but he's been perfect across 17 extra-point attempts. He's likely primed for a favorable game script against the Jets in Week 6.

  • Redskins' Dustin Hopkins: Makes extra point in loss

    Hopkins converted his sole extra-point try during Sunday's loss to the Patriots.

    Hopkins didn't attempt a single field goal during Sunday's blowout loss. The veteran kicker's accuracy has been reliable through five contests, but he'll remain off the fantasy radar until such time as Washington's offense is able to give him opportunities on a more reliable basis.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Saints' Wil Lutz: Drills short field goal

    Lutz made a 29-yard field goal and all four extra-point attempts in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Buccaneers.

    Following a monster four field-goal performance in Week 4, Lutz was only called upon for chip shots against the divisional foe. He was perfect, though, and he's now connected on 11 of 12 field-goal attempts and 10 of 11 extra points this year.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Titans' Cairo Santos: Costly misses

    Santos missed all four of his field-goal attempts in Week 5 against Buffalo. He did convert his lone extra-point attempt.

    Santos had a disastrous day and cost the Titans a chance at victory. Two of his kicks came from 50 and 53 yards, making them a bit more excusable. On the other hand, he also missed a 36-yard attempt and had another 33-yard effort blocked. Overall, it was a disastrous day for Santos, who may now be on the hot seat while filling in for the injured Ryan Succop (knee).

  • Cardinals' Zane Gonzalez: Game-winning field goal

    Gonzalez made four of five field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries during Sunday's win over the Bengals.

    Gonzalez missed one field goal during Sunday's win, but he more than made up for any mistakes by securing the Cardinals' first win of the season. Due to the struggles of Arizona's offense in the red zone, Gonzalez is benefiting from substantial weekly opportunity.

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Panthers' Joey Slye: Rough outing Sunday

    Slye missed both his field-goal attempts and one of his five extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Jaguars.

    Slye had been excellent through his first four NFL appearances, but he showed some rookie vulnerability Sunday. Although his first miss was not only blocked, but was from an excusable distance of 56 yards, he missed wide right from 46 on his second attempt. Slye then sailed it right again on his final extra-point effort, which left the Panthers only up seven with under four minutes left. Overall, it was Slye's worst showing yet, and his first game with under eight points this season. He'll look to improve his accuracy against the Bucs in London in Week 6.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Remains perfect

    Boswell made all three of his field-goals (29, 33, 41) and both PATs in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Ravens.

    Boswell is now perfect in six straight games dating back to last season, with two or more field goals in five of those games. The offense has been erratic and will likely be led by rookie Devlin Hodges in Week 6 against a Chargers defense that allows opposing kickers just four fantasy points per game, fifth fewest in the league.

  • Matt Bryant K | ATL

    Falcons' Matt Bryant: Hits all four field goals and PATS

    Bryant went 3-for-3 on extra-point attempts and made his lone field-goal try of 35 yards during the Falcons' 53-32 loss to Houston on Sunday.

    The 44-year-old kicker enjoyed his second performance of 2019 with both a perfect rate on field goals and point-after attempts, but the volume has simply not been there for him to be a viable fantasy leg. Bryant has averaged less than one field-goal make per game, with no more than six points in any outing this season after exceeding that number six times in 13 appearances last year. Week 6 offers a chance for Bryant to establish a new season-best outing, facing an Arizona defense that ranks bottom five in red-zone scoring attempts allowed per game.
