Jason Myers K | SEA
Seahawks' Jason Myers: Hits every kick
Myers made all three extra points in Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Saints.
Myers has only attempted one field goal this season, missing a 58-yard attempt in Week 2. He has converted on all 10 extra-point attempts, and he'll look to be afforded more scoring opportunities in Week 4's game versus the Cardinals.

Bears' Eddy Pineiro: Set to make trip
Pineiro (knee) is expected to make the trip to Washington for Monday's game, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
The Bears must disclose of players who don't make the road trip and they didn't file any such notification, signaling Pineiro will be with the team. The kicker popped up on the injury report Saturday, after he suffered an apparent minor knee injury in the weight room. The Bears haven't signed another kicker as of now, but Pineiro could be looking like a game-time call before inactives come out an hour and a half before the game.

Chargers' Michael Badgley: Downgraded to doubtful
Badgley (groin) was downgraded from questionable to doubtful for Sunday's matchup with Houston, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Badgley was able to practice fully Thursday, but it seems the groin issue is still causing problems. It would seem that Ty Long is poised to take over kicking duties for Sunday's game once again, barring a speedy recovery from Badgley in the next 24 hours.

Bears' Eddy Pineiro: Added to MNF injury report
Pineiro (right knee) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against Washington after being listed as limited on Saturday's practice report.
On the plus side, Adam Jahns of The Athletic relays that coach Matt Nagy believes his kicker should be okay after suffering a minor knee injury in the weight room. Given the Monday night kickoff, there's an element of risk to rolling with Pineiro in Week 3 fantasy lineups, but so far the Bears haven't signed another kicker.

Chargers' Michael Badgley: Draws questionable designation
Badgley (groin) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Badgley will play Sunday if he doesn't encounter any setbacks during pregame warmups, according to Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times. If he's unable to go, however, Ty Long would handle kicking duties Week 3.

Chargers' Michael Badgley: Full go Thursday
Badgley was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Badgley was limited in Wednesday's practice, so his full participation Thursday is great news for his status for Sunday's matchup with Houston. The 24-year-old missed the season's first two games with the groin issue. Now healthy, Badgley seems poised to relieve Ty Long, who missed two field goals in last Sunday's 13-10 loss to Detroit.

Chargers' Michael Badgley: Limited in practice Wednesday
Badgley (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Badgley continues to deal with the groin injury that kept him out of the first two games of the season. The 24-year-old was solid for the Chargers last year, converting 15 of 16 field goals and missing just one of 28 extra points. Time is of the essence for Badgley's return, as his replacement, Ty Long, missed two field goals in this past Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Lions.

Harrison Butker K | KC
Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Limited to extra points
Butker went 4-for-4 on extra points in Week 2 against the Raiders.
While Sunday's game wasn't exactly the shootout many were expecting, Butker's output took a hit more than many others. Still, he's perfect on kicks through two weeks and kicks on a team with one of the more explosive offenses in the NFL, which bodes well for his fantasy outlook moving forward.

Jake Elliott K | PHI
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Perfect in loss
Elliott made both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Falcons and did not attempt any extra points.
Elliott gave the Eagles their only points of the first half with field goals of 34 and 41 yards in the second quarter. He'd sit the rest of the affair out though, aside from kickoffs, as Philadelphia twice needed to go for two as the game wound down. The 24-year-old has a good chance to see more scoring opportunities with Detroit on tap at home Week 3.
