  • Redskins' Dustin Hopkins: Tallies 10 points

    Hopkins made three field goals and an extra point during Sunday's 16-13 win over the Jaguars.

    After putting up a goose egg in Week 14, Hopkins nailed three field goals for the fourth time this season. It still remains hard to rely on Hopkins for the rest of year, however, as the absence of Alex Smith under center has stalled Washington's offense.

    Browns' Greg Joseph: Nails 40-yarder in win

    Joseph converted a 40-yard field goal and both of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 17-16 win over the Broncos.

    Joseph hasn't missed a field goal since Oct. 28 against the Steelers, though he's only attempted four since then. While his opportunities have been scarce, he's proved to be a capable kicker in the NFL.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Misses another key kick in win

    Elliott made three of four field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries in Sunday night's 30-23 win over the Rams.

    Elliott's night started promisingly enough as he nailed a 51-yard attempt to open the game's scoring in the first quarter. The 23-year-old made two shorter attempts in each of the next two quarters but missed from 53 yards out with a chance to ice the game late in the final period. The Memphis product has now missed field-goal tries in back-to-back games and will try to right the ship at home Week 16 against Houston.

  • Cardinals' Zane Gonzalez: Tallies two points

    Gonzalez converted both of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Falcons.

    Gonzalez didn't attempt a field goal Sunday, as the Cardinals struggled to move the ball with much efficiency. The second-year kicker has made 75 percent of his kicks since joining Arizona's active roster.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Bright spot in loss

    Carlson converted all three of his field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point try during Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Bengals.

    Carlson is now a perfect two for two from 50-plus yards since becoming a Raider, but also has been perfect in five straight games since the team's bye week. The rookie appears to have put his early-season struggles in the rear-view mirror as a Monday night showdown against the Broncos approaches in Week 16.

  • Rams' Greg Zuerlein: Returns to form against Eagles

    Zuerlein hit all three of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point kicks during Sunday's 30-23 loss to Philadelphia.

    After a season-worst showing against Chicago last week, it was encouraging to see Zuerlein bounce back against the Eagles. He's now connected on 20 of 22 field-goal attempts and hit 23 extra points since returning from a groin injury in Week 7. Look for the veteran to finish the 2018 regular season strong with favorable matchups against Arizona and San Francisco on deck.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Lions' Matt Prater: Misses fourth-quarter field goal

    Prater missed his only field-goal attempt but made his only PAT during Sunday's 14-13 loss to Buffalo.

    Prater made a critical miscue on a missed 48-yard field goal attempt that would've given the Lions the lead in the final frame -- which marked the veteran's first missed field goal in the fourth quarter over the past three seasons. Given the Lions' massive offensive struggles in the absence of Marvin Jones (knee), Kerryon Johnson (knee) and Golden Tate (traded), it isn't wise to bet on Prater getting many opportunities to rebound during Detroit's tough Week 16 matchup against the Vikings.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Buccaneers' Cairo Santos: Regains confidence in Week 15 loss

    Santos made field-goal attempts of 21 and 28 yards and did not have any extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 20-12 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

    Santos had likely prompted at least some concern after missing two field goals in Week 14, but he alleviated those worries to an extent by drilling two makeable tries Sunday. He was shut out of the extra-point category, however, as the Bucs opted to go for two after their lone touchdown of the day. The weather conditions and defensive matchup should both be at least slightly more favorable in a Week 16 matchup versus the Cowboys, which should afford Santos an uptick in scoring opportunities.

  • Matt Bryant K | ATL

    Falcons' Matt Bryant: Flawless outing against Arizona

    Bryant converted on field-goal attempts of 22 and 33 yards while going 4-for-4 on extra-point tries during Sunday's 40-14 win against the Cardinals.

    Outside of coming up short on a 53-yard attempt last week at blustery Lambeau Field, Bryant has connected on all eight of his field-goal tries since returning from a hamstring injury in Week 11. This after going 9-for-9 through his first six appearances of 2018, though he has missed two extra points on the year -- just the second time Bryant has failed on multiple PATs since his rookie season of 2002. The fantasy upside is limited heading into a Week 16 matchup against Carolina's putrid red-zone defense, which has allowed touchdowns on an astronomical 74.4 percent of opposing red-zone drives (31st). As a result, the Panthers have yielded 20 FGA all season, fourth fewest in the NFL.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Misses again in win

    Boswell made both of his extra-point attempts and one of two field-goals (48) during Sunday's 17-10 win over New England.

    The Steelers held an open tryout earlier in the week and may want to reconsider their decision to retain Boswell's services after he missed his seventh field goal attempt of the season. Head coach Mike Tomlin gave Boswell a vote of confidence following the contest, but New Orleans allows the fewest fantasy points per game to kickers (5.0), so it is advisable to look elsewhere regardless of who is kicking for Pittsburgh in Week 16.
