Carlson made one of two field-goal attempts in Thursday's 34-3 loss to the 49ers.

Carlson has been held to just seven total points in two contests with Oakland, having missed from 45 yards during the Raiders' brutal performance Thursday night. The offense could struggle to move the ball again in Week 10 against the 6-2 Chargers.

Fairbairn successfully converted both field-goal attempts and one of two extra-point kicks in Sunday's 19-17 win over Denver.

Fairbairn's missed extra point, his first of the season, loomed large entering the fourth quarter of a one-point game, but the Texans gave the kicker a chance at redemption. He connected from 37 yards away for the final scoring play of the game, clinching Houston's sixth straight win. Fairbairn enters the Texans' bye week having made 19 of 22 field-goal attempts, while his 8.8 PPG is tied for sixth among kickers.

Sturgis (quadriceps) missed his only field-goal attempt and made just one of his three extra-point attempts in the 25-17 win over the Seahawks.

Sturgis missed the previous two weeks thanks to a quad injury, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see the veteran get cut after yet another dreadful kicking day. 9-of-15 on extra points and 9-of-13 on field-goal attempts is particularly bad, even for Chargers kickers, and the egregious numbers will likely bring the return of Michael Badgley, the rookie kicker who filled in for Sturgis during the aforementioned absence.

Myers made two of three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Dolphins.

Myers missed a game-tying attempt with the team down 6-3 early in the fourth quarter, overshadowing makes from 48 and 56 yards. As those distances indicate, New York wasn't able to work the ball deep into Miami territory. Until the Jets pick things up offensively, Myers will be tough to trust.

Boswell made his only field-goal attempt (29 yards) and two of three extra-point tries during Sunday's 23-16 win over Baltimore.

His streak of perfect games ends at two, and he has missed at least one attempt in five of eight games this season. Despite all the offensive weapons, Boswell is averaging just five points per game and faces the Panthers - who yield the third fewest points per game to opposing kickers - in Week 10.

Tavecchio was five-for-five on PATs, while converting on his lone field-goal try from 27 yards out during Sunday's 38-14 win against Washington.

Tavecchio remains perfect through two games as a Falcon, sinking all four of his field-goal attempts (three of which came from 40-plus yards out), while hitting on seven-of-seven extra-point tries. If Matt Bryant (hamstring) is ruled out for a third straight game in Week 10, Tavecchio will retain his kicking duties against Cleveland, a team that allowed the fifth-most field-goal attempts coming into the weekend (19). If nothing more comes of it, the "Italian Stallion" has performed well enough in substitute duties to open up potential starting opportunities down the road.

Tavecchio will remain the Falcons' kicker for Sunday's game in Washington with Matt Bryant (hamstring) ruled out for the contest, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

After sitting out the Falcons' Week 7 win over the Giants with the injury, Bryant failed to show enough improvement coming out of the team's Week 8 bye to gain clearance for Sunday. As a result, Tavecchio will get a chance to build on his strong Atlanta debut versus the Giants, during which he converted both extra-point tries and all three of his field-goal attempts, including two from 50-plus yards. Though he'll be buoyed by an offense that ranks seventh in the NFL with 401 yards per game this season, Tavecchio's opportunities may be more limited than they were in Week 7 while Atlanta matches up with a stout Washington defense that has yielded just 19.1 points and one field goal attempt per contest.

Bryant (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Washington, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

The Falcons apparently weren't encouraged by what they saw when Bryant tested out his hamstring Thursday. The team will once again rely on Giorgio Tavecchio, who doesn't hold much fantasy appeal in a matchup with a Washington defense that ranks fourth in yards allowed (322.4 per game) and fifth in points allowed (19.1) this season. Washington's opponents have attempted just seven field goals and 14 extra points in seven games.

Coach Dan Quinn said Bryant (hamstring) would kick during Thursday's practice and remains a possibility to play Sunday against the Redskins, Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site reports.

Quinn relayed that Bryant is "certainly close" to a return after missing the Falcons' last game Week 7 versus the Giants, with the kicker's performance during Thursday's session likely to be a major factor in his status for Sunday. Bryant will be confined to a side field during the workout, so it won't be known until after practice concludes whether his activity constituted full, limited or non-participation. If Bryant is forced to miss another contest while he works through the sore right hamstring, Giorgio Tavecchio would handle kicking duties for a second straight game.

Badgley cleared waivers and is expected to be signed to the Chargers' practice squad, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.

Badgley was waived by the Chargers following Caleb Sturgis' return to full health, and the rookie will likely find a place on his former team's practice squad. The Miami product converted all three of his field-goal attempts and was perfect on extra-point tries during his two starts with the Chargers.
