    Falcons' Matt Bryant: Nails three field-goal attempts

    Bryant converted on 3-of-3 field-goal tries with three successful extra-point attempts, but Atlanta lost 37-36 to Cincinnati on Sunday.

    Money Matt connected on attempts from 28, 32 and 55 yards out, keeping him perfect on field goals in 2018 (6-for-6), with one point-after try that clanked off the upright and was no good in Week 1. Bryant may have been more valuable prior to the Week 4 explosion had Atlanta's red-zone offense not been so effective, but he is a potential top-five option at kicker moving forward given the ease with which the team has been pushing the ball downfield over the past three weeks.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Boots two OT FGs in Week 4 win

    Fairbairn converted 3-of-4 field-goal attempts and all four extra-point kicks for 13 points in a 37-34 Week 4 overtime against Indianapolis.

    On a day when the Colts' Adam Vinatieri set a new NFL career record by making his 566th field goal, the Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn was the bigger headliner. He booted two field goals in overtime to clinch Houston's first win of the season. This was the second straight week with double-digit points for Fairbairn, who has 11 field-goal attempts through four games, tied for most in the NFL.

    Saints' Wil Lutz: Busy in Week 3

    Lutz made three field goals -- from 49, 45 and 21 yards -- and four extra points in Sunday's win against the Falcons.

    Lutz was busy in the victory in Atlanta, and his clutch extra point with just over a minute in regulation helped send the game to overtime. Although Lutz probably has only league-average accuracy, he has a big leg and is backed by the Saints' explosive offense, which makes him a solid fantasy option most weeks.

    Saints' Wil Lutz: Racks up 13 points

    Lutz made all three of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries en route to 13 points in Sunday's 43-37 win over the Falcons.

    Lutz' point tally tied for the second highest in any game across his three-year career. All three of his field goals came during the second quarter, when he converted from 49, 21 and 45 yards. He'll hope New Orleans' prolific offense can give him more chances to shine in Week 4 versus the Giants.

  • Broncos' Brandon McManus: Just two points

    McManus did not attempt a field goal but did convert both his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Ravens.

    McManus wasn't afforded many opportunities by the Broncos offense, which struggled. With the high-flying Chiefs coming to town in Week 4, however, he could benefit from a high scoring game.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Tallies eight points

    Butker converted a 37-yard field goal on his lone attempt and made all five of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 38-27 win over the 49ers.

    Butker has racked up more extra points (16) than any kicker so far, benefitting from a Chiefs offense that's been unstoppable through three weeks. Should it become less efficient, however, Butker could rack up more points through field-goal attempts, as he's been limited to two such opportunities this season. On the whole, though, his team's success has translated into a fine start.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Looks awful in win

    Boswell converted one of his two field goals and three of four extra-point attempts in Monday's 30-27 win over the Buccaneers.

    Through three games, Boswell has made just one of four field goals and has missed two extra-point attempts. Minnesota and Cleveland already replaced their kickers after shaky starts, so we'll have to watch if Pittsburgh brings anyone in this week. Even if Boswell keeps his job, he'll next face the Ravens, who have held opposing kickers to just five points per game this season.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Perfect in Week 3

    Sanders converted all four of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 28-20 win over the Raiders.

    Sanders did not attempt a single field goal. Despite showing reliable accuracy thus far, Miami's offense doesn't seem likely to offer Sanders the volume needed to serve as a top fantasy option at the position. The rookie will look to build upon an impressive beginning to the season in Week 4's matchup against the Patriots.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Panthers' Graham Gano: Yet to miss this season

    Gano converted from 40 yards on his lone field-goal attempt and made all four of his extra-point tries en route to seven points in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Bengals.

    Gano has now made all 11 kicks he's been faced with through the first three weeks. That gives him a total of 17 points heading into Carolina's bye week.

  • Redskins' Dustin Hopkins: Hits 35-yarder Sunday

    Hopkins converted his only field-goal attempt during Sunday's 31-17 win over the Packers. He also made all four of his extra points.

    Sunday marked the second time in just three games that Hopkins has been held to just one field-goal attempt, as opportunities have thus far evaded him in 2018. The Redskins are on a bye in Week 4, and though he's a reliable kicker, he's not worth holding on to while he's idle.
