  • Redskins' Dustin Hopkins: Perfect in Week 10

    Hopkins converted all three of his field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point try during Sunday's 16-3 win over the Buccaneers.

    Hopkins accounted for 10 of Washington's 16 total points, including two field goals of over 40 yards. The six-year pro has missed only two field goals this season and remains perfect on extra-point attempts. Hopkins will see a favorable matchup against the Texans in Week 11.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Collects six points in loss

    Carlson made both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Chargers.

    Carlson was perfect from 46 and 30 yards to give the Raiders their only six points of the contest, as the team's struggling offense failed to reach the end zone. There could be a lack of scoring opportunities again in Week 11 against a Cardinals defense that just held the Chiefs to a season-low 26 points.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Saints' Wil Lutz: Scores 15 points in win

    Lutz converted all three field-goal attempts and all three extra-point attempts during Sunday's 51-14 win over the Bengals.

    Lutz has not missed a kick since Week 5. The 24-year-old remains one of the top fantasy options at his position due to the Saints' high-powered offense, and he appears in line for another strong performance against the Eagles on Sunday.

  • Mike Badgley K | BUF

    Chargers' Michael Badgley: Perfect kicking performance Sunday

    Badgley made both of his field-goal attempts and both of his PATs in the 20-6 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    Badgley has yet to miss a kick in his brief tenure as the starter, and as a result, the rookie instantly becomes an intriguing fantasy option given the nature of the Chargers high-scoring offense. The one negative might be that the Chargers are "too" efficient in the red zone, as there haven't been many long-distance kicking opportunities for either Badgley or the since-released Caleb Sturgis this season. A divisional matchup against the Broncos could be an interesting test for the fantasy prospects of Badgley moving forward.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Scores 12 points in loss

    Sanders made all four of his field-goal attempts, accounting for the Dolphins' only points in a 12-31 loss to the Packers.

    Sanders was the beneficiary of Dolphins' drives that stalled past midfield Sunday. His longest attempt was a 47-yard field goal that he knocked through the uprights with ease. He's hit on 94 percent of his field goals through 10 weeks, making for an impressive rookie campaign. He and the Dolphins have a bye in Week 11 before taking on the Colts in Week 12.

  • Greg Joseph K | LV

    Browns' Greg Joseph: Hits four extra ponts in win

    Joseph was 4-for-4 on extra points in Sunday's win over the Falcons.

    Joseph was never called on to kick a field goal Sunday, instead simply doing his part on extra points. He's connecting on 85 percent of his field goals this season, including a long of 51 yards. Looking ahead, Joseph and the Browns have a Week 11 bye before taking on the Bengals in Week 12.

  • Rams' Greg Zuerlein: Sharp in Week 10 win

    Zuerlein hit all three of his field-goal attempts and extra-point kicks during Sunday's 36-31 win over the Seahawks.

    It was business as usual for the veteran Sunday. Zuerlein has now connected on 14 of 16 field-goal attempts and all 14 of his extra-point kicks through five games, and with Los Angeles continuing to score in bunches, he projects to remain a go-to fantasy option.

  • Falcons' Giorgio Tavecchio: Stays perfect in substitute duties

    Tavecchio connected on a 40-yard field-goal attempt and succeeded on his lone point-after try during Sunday's 28-16 loss to Cleveland.

    The Milan-born Tavecchio has been flawless since taking over for the injured Matt Bryant (hamstring) in Week 7, converting on all 13 of his combined attempts (5-for-5 on FGA, 8-for-8 on PATs). He's proven capable of connecting from long range -- four of his five field goals are from 40-plus yards, and two of the five from more than 50 yards out. The issue is his lack of volume, as Tavecchio's 1.7 attempts per game prohibit him from providing assured starting value on a weekly basis (Atlanta's 14 FGA as a team are tied for fifth fewest in the NFL). If Bryant is held out again in Week 11, Tavecchio will collect his fourth start of the season against a Cowboys team that's allowed 15 FGA all season, good for 10th-fewest in the league.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Lions' Matt Prater: Converts 50-yarder in Windy City

    Prater converted his only field-goal attempt as well as his only PAT during Sunday's 34-22 loss to the Bears.

    The slumping Lions offense fell prey to a vicious Bears defense, and Prater's production once again suffered as a result. However, fantasy owners can at least be thankful that the kicker's one chance at a field goal came from 50 yards out, a distance from which Prater has now made two of four this season. Detroit should have an easier time offensively in Week 11 when the Lions host an overrated Panthers defense allowing 25.8 points per game, the 10th-most leaguewide.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Panthers' Graham Gano: Scores three points

    Gano did not attempt a field goal but made all three of his extra-point tries in Week 10's loss to the Steelers.

    Gano has now gone back-to-back games without being called on for a field goal. That has seen his scoring average slide, as he now sports 57 points through nine appearances.
