  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Nails game-winner Sunday

    Elliott made both of his field-goal attempts and two of three extra-point tries in Sunday's 32-30 win over the Texans.

    Elliott again put his team in a precarious position by missing the extra-point try after the Eagles' first fourth-quarter touchdown that left them with just a 13-point advantage. He more than made up for it, however, as he punched a 35-yarder in to win it as time expired. The Memphis product also made a 47-yard attempt in the contest and has not missed from inside 50 yards since Week 7. Elliott will try to keep that streak intact with the Eagles' playoff hopes on the line Week 17 at Washington.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Buccaneers' Cairo Santos: Solid afternoon in defeat

    Santos made field-goal attempts of 37 and 45 yards while misfiring on a 52-yard try in the Buccaneers 27-20 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday. He also drilled both of his extra-point attempts.

    The 27-year-old's one miss was relatively excusable considering the distance, and Santos had a solid eight-point afternoon overall by making his other four kicks. The five-year veteran is 7-for-10 on field goals and has drilled all 15 of his extra points since joining the Bucs in Week 11. He'll be a serviceable fantasy option once again in the Week 17 finale against the Falcons and likely has done enough to be considered as a leading candidate for the placekicking role in 2019.

  • Matt Bryant K | ATL

    Falcons' Matt Bryant: Nails field goal, three PATs in win

    Bryant converted on his lone field-goal attempt of 39 yards and went 3-for-3 on extra points during Sunday's 24-10 win against the Panthers.

    Bryant continues to build upon his ever-reliable form, knocking nine of his 10 field-goal tries through the uprights since returning from a hamstring injury Week 11 and converting on 18 of 19 field-goal attempts overall this season. If there is a black mark on Bryant's 2018 resume, it comes as a result of shaky results on point-after tries. The veteran kicker has missed multiple PATs for the first time in his past 17 seasons as a pro. In Week 17, Bryant's fantasy upside remains limited facing a Buccaneers team that's allowed 25 field-goal attempts all year, largely in part to a putrid red-zone defense that is allowing touchdowns on 77.8 percent of opponents' red-zone drives.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Pair of misses in win

    Tucker made three of his five field-goal attempts and an extra point in Saturday's win over the Chargers.

    Tucker's line was deflated by a series of long kicks against Los Angeles. He missed a makable 53-yard attempt and a 65-yard prayer as time expired in the first half. He did manage to connect from 56 yards and on his shorter attempts. He's hitting on 89 percent of his field goals this season (31-for-35) and continues to be one of the best fantasy options in the league at his position.

  • Redskins' Dustin Hopkins: Makes three field goals

    Hopkins made all three of his field-goal attempts and an extra point in Sunday's loss to the Titans.

    Hopkins scored 10 points for the second week in a row, hitting on three field goals in a game for the fifth time this season. He's drilling an impressive 90 percent of his field goals this season (26-for-29). He'll look to maintain the quality play in Washington's season finale against the Eagles in Week 17.

  • Cardinals' Zane Gonzalez: Struggles vs. Rams

    Gonzalez made one of his two field-goal attempts and missed his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's loss to the Rams.

    Gonzalez tallied just three of a possible seven points Sunday, though his missed field goal was from over 50 yards. Since joining the Cardinals in Week 13, Gonzalez has made four of five extra-point attempts and four of six field-goal tries.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Streak snapped

    Fairbairn made his lone field-goal attempt and three of four extra-point kicks in Sunday's 32-30 loss to the Eagles.

    Fairbairn had been successful on 24 consecutive kicks before a second-quarter extra-point attempt sailed wide right. Despite the miss, he managed a credible six points and maintained his NFL scoring lead with 142 points after 15 games.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Does his part in crushing defeat

    Boswell made both his field-goal attempts (30, 49) and both his PATs during Sunday's 31-28 loss to New Orleans.

    This was a rare perfect game for Boswell, who was waiting for an opportunity to attempt a potential game-tying field-goal, but he never got the chance when JuJu Smith-Schuster fumbled at the New Orleans 34-yard line with 41 seconds to play. Boswell was also perfect -- making both field-goal and both PATs -- earlier this season against Week 17 opponent Cincinnati, which allows the most fantasy points to kickers per game (8.9).

  • Greg Joseph K | LV

    Browns' Greg Joseph: Misses extra point in win

    Joseph converted two of three extra-point attempts and connected on field goals of 37 and 31 yards during Sunday's 26-18 win over the Bengals.

    It was Joseph's fourth missed extra point of the season. He's actually been more accurate kicking field goals, 16 for 18, than extra points, 22 for 26, this season. The rookie ends his season playing the Ravens next Sunday, against whom he connected on two of three targets and missed an extra point in a Week 5 win.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Lions' Matt Prater: Perfect against Vikings

    Prater went three-for-three on his field-goal attempts during Sunday's 27-9 loss to Minnesota.

    Prater somehow had a serviceable fantasy outing despite the Lions' significant struggles moving the ball against Minnesota's fourth-ranked defense. Having converted multiple field goals in just four of his last nine outings, the strong-legged Prater appears to be a low-floor, high-ceiling fantasy option at this juncture in the season as Detroit approaches its Week 17 season finale in Green Bay.
