Matt Bryant K | ATL
Falcons' Matt Bryant: Perfect on extra points Sunday
Bryant did not attempt a field goal, but connected on all three of his point-after tries during Sunday's 43-37 overtime loss to New Orleans.
Fantasy owners invested in Falcons skill-position players are thrilled with the team's red-zone resurgence Sunday, but those with stock in Bryant are underwhelmed with the veteran kicker's production through Week 3. Bryant has yet to break eight points (standard scoring) in any of Atlanta's games this year, and his three-point outing against the Saints marks his lowest output since Week 7 of the 2017 season. He hasn't missed a field-goal try yet this year, but the volume just hasn't been there, as Bryant has only three attempts to his credit on the young season.

Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Has 10-point week in loss
Fairbairn converted all three of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point kick in the Week 3 loss to the Giants.
Houston's offense was unable to finish in the red zone Sunday, scoring just twice in five trips inside the 20, which enabled Fairbairn's highest scoring output of the season. His 54-yarder was a season long and gives him four makes in six attempts beyond the 50-yard line for his career.

Browns' Greg Joseph: Nails two field goals
Joseph converted both of his field goals and one extra-point attempt during Thursday's 21-17 win against the Jets.
In Joseph's first game as an NFL kicker, he did what Zane Gonzalez struggled to do -- put the ball through the uprights. Even though the Browns currently lead the league in field-goal attempts, Joseph shouldn't be considered a reliable fantasy kicker until his sample size of success grows a bit larger.

Jason Myers K | SEA
Jets' Jason Myers: Light workload in Week 3 loss
Myers connected on a 28-yard field goal and both of his PAT attempts in Thursday's 21-17 loss to Cleveland.
Myers wasn't asked to do much, as the Jets raced out to a 14-0 lead and mustered just one field goal the rest of the way. Things don't project to get any easier for this offense with a trip to Jacksonville next on the docket.

Jason Sanders K | NYJ
Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Misses extra point
Sanders did not attempt a field goal and missed one of his three extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Jets.
Sanders was perfect while scoring nine points in Week 1, so he'll be disappointed by Sunday's letdown on his third and final extra-point opportunity. The rookie will look to clean things up this weekend versus the Raiders.

Harrison Butker K | KC
Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Tallies six points
Butker did not attempt a field goal, but made all six of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 42-37 win over the Steelers.
Butker did all that was asked of him from a Kansas City offense that was highly efficient Sunday. Given how well the Chiefs have moved the ball so far this season, Butker should have plenty of scoring opportunities going forward, even if those were limited to one-point chances in Week 2.

Chris Boswell K | PIT
Steelers' Chris Boswell: Misses another field goal
Boswell missed his only field-goal attempt from 49 yards and went 3-for-4 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs.
It's been a shaky start to the season for Boswell, who is now 0-for-2 on field goal attempts. Both attempts have come from over 40 yards, so it isn't time for the Steelers to hit the panic button yet.

Dustin Hopkins K | CLE
Redskins' Dustin Hopkins: Misses one field goal Sunday
Hopkins went 3-for-4 on field goals in Sunday's loss to the Colts.
It was a busy day for Hopkins, whose only miss came when he was wide left on a 49-yard attempt. Still, he connected on two other tries from 49 yards out, as well as one from 27 yards away.

Brandon McManus K | GB
Broncos' Brandon McManus: Kicks game-winner to seal 2-0 start
McManus nailed both of his field goals and two extra points during Sunday's 20-19 win over the Raiders.
McManus came up clutch with the game on the line as he calmly drilled a game-winning 36-yard field goal with six seconds remaining in regulation. The Broncos kicker made amends for his missed extra point in Week 1 with the strong outing.

Graham Gano K | NYG
Panthers' Graham Gano: Flawless in defeat
Gano made a 54-yard field goal on his lone attempt in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Falcons. He also made all three of his extra-point tries, registering six points in total.
Gano missed his only attempt from 50-plus yards last season, so he started this term on the right foot by converting his first opportunity Sunday. Through two weeks, Gano has netted 10 points while not missing a kick.
