Butker, who missed a key field-goal attempt during the Chiefs' playoff loss to Tennessee, won't let the mistake bother him mentally as the 2018 season approaches, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Butker enjoyed a wildly successful first year in the league, needing only 13 games to set an NFL record for field goals (38) by a rookie. He missed just four kicks throughout the entire regular season, but he couldn't connect on a 48-yarder during the Chiefs' one-point loss to the Titans in the wild-card round. The second-year kicker has displayed confidence throughout training camp and says he won't let that miss haunt him as he prepares to continue his success in 2018. Butker will have a hard time matching last year's per-game kicking workload, but he nonetheless makes for a worthy target toward the end of fantasy drafts.

Sturgis made four of his six field-goal attempts during the Chargers first kicking reps of training camp, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.

Robert Aguayo, Sturgis' only competition for the starting job, made five of his six attempts, including a kick from 50 yards out. Sturgis is projected to win the role, but the Chargers have been known to go with whatever player they feel is best suited for the role regardless of age, i.e. Younghoe Koo last season.

Gonzalez will compete with Ross Martin during training camp for the Browns' placekicking duties, Andrew Gribble of the team's official site reports.

A seventh-round pick last year, Gonzalez converted just 15 of 20 field-goal attempts and 25 of 26 extra-point tries as a rookie. He'll now need to beat out Martin, who spent the past two offseasons with the Jets but never made it on the 53-man roster. Neither kicker warrants draft consideration in most fantasy leagues.

McManus is the only kicker on the Broncos' roster heading into training camp.

McManus only made 24 of 32 field-goal attempts last season, but he did convert all of his PATs and only missed three kicks after Week 6. As he heads into his fifth season with Denver, McManus isn't worth drafting in most shallower leagues, but he should work his way into the streaming conversation if quarterback Case Keenum can lead the Denver offense back toward competence.

Lutz is in no danger of losing his job, Larry Holder of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Lutz was reliable but unspectacular the past two seasons, converting 59 of 70 field-goal attempts (84.3 percent) and 96 of 100 extra-point tries, though he only went 7-of-12 from 50 yards and longer. His strong job security on a high-scoring dome team should lead to continued fantasy relevance even if he's merely decent from a real-life perspective.

Prater is set for another season as the Lions' placekicker, MLive.com's Nate Atkins reports.

Prater is entering the first season of the three-year extension he signed in October, and the Lions haven't even bothered bringing in a camp leg. He's coming off three straight seasons converting better than 85 percent of his field-goal attempts, including 19 of 24 from 50 yards or longer during that stretch. In addition to his solid track record of accuracy, Prater benefits from playing for a dome team with an above-average offense. While not quite among the elite at his position, he's a solid choice in the closing stages of a draft.

Tucker has converted a league-high 33 field goals from 50 yards or longer since entering the NFL in 2012, ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley reports.

Tucker already has an argument for the title of best kicker in league history, though he can't match Adam Vinatieri's track record of big moments in the playoffs. The 28-year-old's unmatched combination of leg strength and accuracy has made him a fixture near the top of the fantasy leaderboard for kickers, despite being attached to a Baltimore offense which struggled the past three seasons. The team hopes a healthier Joe Flacco along with a new group of wideouts will improve the situation, but it won't come as any surprise if the Ravens once again end up leaning on Tucker and a strong defense to stay competitive. Tucker has repeatedly proven to be the rare kicker worth drafting even when expectations for his team's offense are low.

Zuerlein (back) was a limited participant in June's mandatory minicamp, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.

Zuerlein, who underwent surgery last December to remove part of a disc in his back, never participated in team drills throughout the offseason program. However, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times recently indicated that the kicker hasn't had any complications in his rehab, and it might not be long until he's back in action. "As soon as I had the surgery done, I could walk like normal," Zuerlein said after June's organized team activities. "The relief was instant, so I was pleased with that. From there, it was just strengthening all the muscles around it so it's protected, and then having the nerve recover. That's all happened, so I feel great." While the Rams might ease him back in during training camp, Zuerlein seems to be on track for Week 1.

Myers kicked field goals with the backup units throughout minicamp, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

It was clear that snagging a starting gig wouldn't be easy for Myers after the Seahawks pegged a $600,000 signing bonus onto veteran kicker Sebastian Janikowski's one-year deal. That sum of cash rivals Myers' entire contract ($705,000 for one season). Therefore, Myers has so much more to prove than Janikowski, and this battle looks to drag out through preseason.

Tavecchio faces steep competition to remain the Raiders' kicker in 2018, Scott Bair of NBC Sports reports.

Tavecchio bounced around the NFL for a few seasons prior to finally earning a roster spot with the Raiders in 2017 while Sebastian Janikowski was sidelined with a back injury. Though Tavecchio did a decent job (16-for-21 on field goals), the team brought in undrafted free agent Eddy Pineiro to compete for the job. Early reports are that Pineiro has impressed, meaning that Tavecchio will need to regain some ground in training camp if he wants to earn the job in 2018.
