Matt Bryant K | ATL
Falcons' Matt Bryant: Limited opportunity against Saints
Bryant went 2-for-2 on extra-points tries, while putting his lone field-goal attempt through the uprights from 32 yards out during Thursday's 31-17 loss to New Orleans.
Bryant has been just as flawless post-injury as he was prior to a three-game spell on the inactive list, knocking down all eight of his combined extra-point- and field-goal tries over Atlanta's past two games (was 9-for-9 on FGA and 16-for-17 on PATs prior to tweaking hamstring in Week 6). Atlanta's upcoming game against Baltimore isn't the most encouraging kicker matchup, with the Ravens surrendering 15 field-goal attempts all season (fifth-fewest in NFL).

Zane Gonzalez K | ATL
Zane Gonzalez: Signs with Arizona's practice squad
The Cardinals signed Gonzalez to their practice squad Tuesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Gonzalez was added to Arizona's practice squad in order to provide depth for Phil Dawson (hip), who missed Sunday's contest against the Raiders. The second-year kicker was cut by the Browns in September after repeated struggles.

Harrison Butker K | KC
Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Misses XP in loss
Butker made his only field-goal attempt from 21 yards and made six of his seven extra-point attempts Monday against the Rams.
Butker was busy all night in a game that featured one of the highest scores in NFL history. The Georgia Tech product will likely be a top fantasy option playing for one of the best offenses in the league after the Chiefs return from bye in Week 13.

Brandon McManus K | GB
Broncos' Brandon McManus: Delivers game-winner
McManus hit both of his extra-point attempts and a 34-yard field goal during Sunday's 23-22 win over the Chargers.
After missing attempts of more than 50 yards right before halftime and to end the game against Houston in Week 9, McManus buried a 34-yarder to give the Broncos the last-second win. The Temple product is a perfect 24-for-24 on extra-point attempts, and 12-for-12 on field goals of less than 50 yards this season.

Greg Zuerlein K | NYJ
Rams' Greg Zuerlein: Turns in another strong showing
Zuerlein hit both his field-goal attempts and six of seven extra-point kicks during Monday's 54-51 win over Kansas City.
The veteran kicker is putting up fantasy points like clockwork, as he's now connected on 12 of 13 field-goal attempts and 17 of 18 extra-point kicks through five games since returning from a groin injury in Week 7. Zuerlein is positioned to finish the season strong and should be considered a high-end option following Los Angeles' Week 12 bye.

Mike Badgley K | BUF
Chargers' Michael Badgley: Missed extra point proves critical
Badgley made one of his two extra-point attempts and knocked in all three of his field-goal attempts Sunday during the 23-22 loss to the Broncos.
Badgley's lone extra point miss was critical given the scoreline, but it's worth pointing out that's Badgley's first miss of any kind this season. The rookie kicker replaced Caleb Sturgis as the starter in Week 10 and remains a solid fantasy option given his place in an excellent Chargers offensive attack.

Graham Gano K | NYG
Panthers' Graham Gano: Misses twice in loss
Gano missed his only field-goal attempt as well as one of his two extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Lions.
Gano's mistakes proved costly for the Panthers in a one-point defeat. He hit the left upright on a 34-yard attempt during the third quarter, then failed on his extra-point try to begin the fourth. The veteran has now missed three PATs this season, and although his missed field goal marked his first of the campaign, he'll still be eager to put his best foot forward in Week 12 versus the Seahawks. That being said, with just 10 points over the last three games, Gano's stock is down at the moment.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Saints' Wil Lutz: Puts up 12 points Week 11
Lutz converted both field-goal attempts and all six of his extra-point tries during Sunday's win over the Eagles.
Lutz benefits from an incredible floor in New Orleans' high-octane offense, and has not missed a kick since Week 5 of the regular season. The 28-year-old remains one of the top fantasy options at the kicker position heading into Thursday's tilt against the Falcons.

Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Perfect in win
Carlson converted all three of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries during Sunday's 23-21 win over the Cardinals.
Carlson logged his second consecutive perfect game and played a key role in securing Oakland's Week 11 victory. The rookie fifth-round pick will look to record another solid outing against the Ravens on Sunday.

Justin Tucker K | BAL
Ravens' Justin Tucker: Perfect in Week 11
Tucker converted all three of his field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try during Sunday's win over the Bengals.
Tucker logged his third consecutive perfect game, including a long field-goal try of 56-yards. The talented kicker accounted for 10 of Baltimore's total points during Sunday's 24-21 win against Cincinnati. He'll look to log another strong outing against the Raiders in Week 12.
