    Panthers' Graham Gano: Perfect in Week 8

    Gano made all three of his field-goal attempts and converted each of his three extra-point tries during Sunday's 36-21 win over the Ravens.

    Gano notched 12 points during the Week 8 win, including a long field-goal attempt of 54 yards. The 31-year-old remains one of the top fantasy options at the kicker position, and will face off against the Buccaneers on Sunday.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Kicks three extra points in loss

    Tucker did not attempt a field goal and made all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 21-36 loss to the Panthers.

    Tucker was perfect Sunday after missing his first career extra-point attempt in Week 7, but logged only three offensive points due to a lack of volume. The 28-year-old will attempt to bounce back against the Steelers in Week 9.

  • Redskins' Dustin Hopkins: Scores eight points in win

    Hopkins converted two of his three field goal attempts and made both extra point tries during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Giants.

    Hopkins' lone missed field goal came on a 41-yard attempt. The sixth-year pro has converted 14 of 16 field goals on the year, including three attempts of over 50 yards. Hopkins' accuracy makes him a solid weekly fantasy option.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Collects four points in Raiders debut

    Carlson connected on all four of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 42-28 loss to the Colts.

    Carlson didn't have a chance to attempt a field goal in his Raiders debut with quarterback Derek Carr racking up a quartet of touchdowns, but the rookie kicker was perfect on extra-point tries. Carlson's brief tenure with Minnesota ended in misery when he missed three crucial field-goal attempts in a Week 2 tie with the Packers, but he'll look to continue building confidence again Thursday night versus the 49ers.

  • Matt Bryant K | ATL

    Falcons' Matt Bryant: Expected to test hamstring Thursday

    Bryant is scheduled to test his sore right hamstring Thursday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    It isn't a great sign Bryant still needs to take it easy coming out of a bye week, but the Falcons at least remain open to the possibility he could be ready for Sunday's game at Washington. Giorgio Tavecchio will get the nod in a tough matchup if Bryant misses another week of action.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Lions' Matt Prater: Zero field-goal chances against Seahawks

    Prater didn't attempt a field goal but nailed both of his PATs during Sunday's 28-14 loss to Seattle.

    The Lions shot themselves in the foot multiple times Sunday, blowing multiple chances to score on some occasions and committing crucial turnovers on others. Not only did both Ameer Abdullah and Matthew Stafford lose fumbles that killed two separate drives, but Stafford also threw an interception on the one-yard line near the end of the fourth quarter. It was ultimately a day to forget for Lions fans, and the team will now look to get back on track on the road against an underperforming Vikings unit in Week 9.

  • Rams' Greg Zuerlein: Hits both field goals against Green Bay

    Zuerlein connected on both of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point kick during Sunday's 29-27 win over the Packers.

    The veteran has now hit nine of 10 field goals and all eight of his extra-point attempts through three games this season. The groin injury that cost Zuerlein five contests is clearly no longer a concern, and with the Rams continuing to click offensively, he's set for a strong second half of the season. Zuerlein projects to rank among the best kickers in fantasy moving forward.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Jets' Jason Myers: Just one field goal again

    Myers connected on a 42-yard field goal and an extra point in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Bears.

    Myers continues to kick well, but his opportunities have been limited recently with New York's offense battling growing pains and injuries. He'll hope to see more action against the Dolphins in Week 9.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Perfect in blowout win

    Boswell made his only field-goal attempt (42 yards) and all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 33-18 win over Cleveland.

    After a rocky start, Boswell has put together back-to-back perfect games, and the Pittsburgh offense looks to be firing on all cylinders, averaging 34 points per game during their three-game winning streak. He'll face a tough test in Week 9 against the Ravens, who've allowed opposing kickers to average just 5.6 points per game this season, the second-best mark in the league. Boswell scored six points against them earlier this season.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: No FGA in Week 8 win

    Fairbairn converted all six extra-point attempts but did not get a field-goal attempt in Thursday's win over the Dolphins.

    For the first time in 2018, Fairbairn was not asked to attempt a field goal. He has been a steady producer from the kicker spot all season, largely thanks to Houston's inability to finish in the red zone -- however, that was not an issue Thursday. The Texans scored touchdowns on all four trips to the red area, then scored two more beyond the 20-yard-line. Fairbairn entered the game having attempted a league-high 20 field goals.
