Wil Lutz K | DEN
Saints' Wil Lutz: Will play Thursday
Lutz (back) does not have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.
Lutz was upgraded to full practice Wednesday after having been limited to begin the week, and appears to have fully recovered from his back injury. The 24-year-old has not missed a kick since Week 5 of the regular season, and remains one of the top fantasy options at the kicker position heading into Thursday Night Football.

Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Posts double-digit points
Fairbairn made both of his field-goal attempts and all four extra-point kicks for 10 points in Monday's 34-17 win over Tennessee.

Jake Elliott K | PHI
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Nails game-winner Sunday
Elliott was perfect on three field-goal attempts and added one extra point in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Giants.
After starting the year 0-for-3 on kicks 40 yards or longer, Elliott has now converted each of his last four, including a 43-yarder to win the game for Philadelphia. After struggling to find consistency in the first half of the season, the Memphis product hasn't missed over his last four games. He will try to keep the rhythm going at home Week 13 against Washington.

Jason Sanders K | MIA
Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Records another perfect game
Sanders made his only field-goal attempt and converted all three extra-point tries during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Colts.
Sanders has not missed a kick since Week 7. Amidst a Dolphins offense that has been unreliable week to week, Sanders has been a welcome source of stability. He'll look to continue building upon what has been a promising rookie campaign during the Week 13 tilt against the Bills.

Greg Joseph K | LV
Browns' Greg Joseph: Nails five extra points
Joseph hit all five of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 35-20 win over the Bengals.
The rookie didn't attempt a field goal for the second straight game, though he does have nine extra points during that span. Joseph is 11-of-13 on field goals since taking over for Zane Gonzalez.

Marshall Koehn K | CIN
Marshall Koehn: Dismissed from practice squad
The Giants released Koehn from their practice squad Monday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Koehn's stay with the practice squad lasted just three days. The Iowa product has kicked in just one NFL game since entering the professional ranks.

Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Tallies five points in loss
Carlson connected from 42 yards and made both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Ravens.
Carlson has not missed a single kick in three consecutive games, which is quite an improvement for the rookie after missing four of his first five career field-goal attempts. A Week 13 matchup against the Chiefs could become a high-scoring affair, but the Raiders may be playing from behind once again.

Justin Tucker K | BAL
Ravens' Justin Tucker: Perfect again in win
Tucker converted both his field-goal attempts and made all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 34-17 win over the Raiders.
Tucker has kicked at least two field goals in three straight games and remains a pillar of stability in Baltimore's offense despite questions at the quarterback position. He'll look to log another strong outing against the Falcons on Sunday.

Graham Gano K | NYG
Panthers' Graham Gano: Misses key field goal
Gano converted two of three field-goal attempts and made all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Seahawks.
Gano has missed two field goals and an extra point through the past two games, including a field-goal try which cost the Panthers a win Week 12. The 31-year-old will look to bounce back against the Buccaneers in Week 13.
