Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Tallies four points in loss
Carlson converted his lone field-goal attempt from 28 yards and added an extra point in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Chiefs.
The Raiders' offense was unable to produce any scoring drives throughout the entirety of the second half, limiting Carlson's opportunities as a result. Things won't get any easier in Week 3 as Carlson makes his return to Minnesota, though the indoor environment is a positive for the second-year kicker.

Broncos' Brandon McManus: Connects on two attempts
McManus hit field goals of 43 and 32 yards during Sunday's 16-14 loss to Chicago.
McManus almost nixed Denver's comeback attempt with a missed PAT that was called back for offsides. McManus remains fairly automatic inside 50 yards, and -- though probably not ideal for Broncos fans -- continues to benefit from being on a team that consistently puts together drives, yet struggles once entering opponent territory.

Ravens' Justin Tucker: Perfect again Sunday
Tucker went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts Sunday and converted both of his extra-point attempts against the Cardinals.
Tucker was automatic again Sunday, making field goals of 33, 28 and 51 yards. He has converted all 10 of his extra points and all four of his field goals through two weeks and will likely be busy again in Week 3 when Baltimore faces Kansas City in what's setting up to be a high-scoring contest.

Rams' Greg Zuerlein: Perfect in win over Saints
Zuerlein converted on both field goals and all three extra points in Sunday's win over the Saints.
Zuerlein wasn't truly tested in this outing, as his field goals came from 24 and 22 yards -- shorter than the extra points. He has now made five of six field goals and all six extra points, and he'll look to continue that success against the Browns in Week 3.

Cardinals' Zane Gonzalez: Nails trio of short kicks
Gonzalez converted all three field-goal attempts but didn't try an extra point in Sunday's loss to the Ravens.
Two of Gonzalez's field goals came from 21 yards and another came from 22. Although the Cardinals did score a touchdown, game flow called for a two-point conversion so Gonzalez was left on the sideline. Gonzalez has now made all seven field goals this year and his only extra point.

Jason Sanders K | MIA
Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Rides bench Week 2
Sanders did not attempt a field goal or extra-point try during Sunday's 43-0 loss to the Patriots.
Sanders fell victim to a second straight blowout, with New England running up the score so high Sunday that the Dolphins could not consider attempting a field goal. Nor was the team able to reach the end zone, resulting in Sanders being kept off the scoreboard entirely. The second-year pro won't warrant fantasy consideration until Miami's offense achieves some sort of consistency.

Jason Myers K | SEA
Seahawks' Jason Myers: Misses 58-yard try
Myers made all four extra points but missed a 58-yard field-goal attemptl in Sunday's 28-26 win over the Steelers.
This was Myers' first field-goal attempt of the season, and it was a lengthy one. Myers had the leg to get it there, but he pushed it wide left as time expired in the first half. He has still converted all seven extra points this year.

Brett Maher K | LAR
Cowboys' Brett Maher: Perfect in Week 2 win
Maher connected on his lone field-goal attempt and all four of his extra points in Sunday's win over Washington.
The field goal was a 25-yard chip shot, so the second-year kicker remains relatively untested on the year, but Maher has been perfect nonetheless -- 1-for-1 on FGs and 9-for-9 on PATs. With the Dallas offense looking explosive in the early going, there should be plenty of opportunities for Maher to rack up points as the season progresses.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Saints' Wil Lutz: Perfect on three attempts
Lutz made all three of his field-goal attempts in the Saints' 27-9 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
For the second week in a row, Lutz hit a 50-yarder, with his makes coming from 34, 42, and 52 yards out. He was the Saints' only source of offense on a day where the team couldn't move the ball downfield, particularly after Drew Brees (hand) exited. Lutz is an elite option at kicker each week, given his accuracy and range.
