Butker converted each of his two field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's Week 17 matchup against the Broncos.

Butker thus finishes a spectacular 2017 campaign having made 38 of his 42 field-goal attempts on the year and all 28 of his extra-point tries. The rookie's contract remains intact through next season and his performance as a rookie will likely boost him up the kicker rankings heading into 2018.

The Giants signed Koehn to a reserve/future contract Monday, Dan Duggan of NJ.com reports.

Koehn previously worked out for the Giants in mid-November, but ultimately wasn't signed to the roster after the team elected to stick with rookie Aldrick Rosas as its kicker. While he suited up for all 16 games, Rosas didn't find much success, converting just 18 of 25 field-goal attempts (72 percent) and 20 of 23 extra-point tries. Look for Koehn, who made his lone extra-point attempt while serving as the Bengals' kicker for one game in 2017, to compete with Rosas throughout the offseason.

Prater converted both of his field-goal attempts and all three PATs during Sunday's 35-11 victory over Green Bay.

Prater was flawless Sunday while capping off another strong season in Motown. He now finishes the campaign having connected on 30 of 35 field-goal attempts and 40 of his 41 PATs. Four of his five field-goal miscues came on attempts from beyond 50 yards, while his seven makes from that range were second-most in the league. Under contract with the Lions for another three years thanks to the extension he signed mid-season, Prater will return in 2018 as a fantasy-worthy option at the kicker position once again.

Boswell, who was successful on all four PATs in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Browns, converted 37 of 39 PATS and 35 of 38 field goals, with a long of 53 yards, in 16 games in 2017.

Boswell improved significantly in terms of his accuracy, hitting on 92.1 percent of his field goal tries, compared to 84.0 percent last season. Pittsburgh's offense is one of the most dangerous in the league, averaging more than 25 points per game, providing ample scoring opportunities for Boswell, who is a restricted free agent in 2018.

Fairbairn made both of his field-goal attempts and lone extra-point kick in Sundays' 22-13 loss to Indianapolis.

Fairbairn booted field goals from 52 and 46 yards, and finished the season with 92 points. When Deshaun Watson (knee) was healthy, Fairbairn became a productive scorer, but his output suffered after the quarterback's season-ending injury. He's got a long leg, making nine of 11 from beyond 40 yards, including three of four from outside 50, and should improve in 2018 if Watson comes back healthy and is as productive as he was in 2017.

Gonzalez made a 48-yard field goal in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Bears.

Gonzalez made his lone attempt, accounting for Cleveland's only points. His season, where he's only made 14 of 19 field goals, mercifully, will come to an end following this Sunday's trip to Pittsburgh.

Elliott made field goals from 35 and 48 yards, but missed a 33-yarder in Monday's 19-10 win over the Raiders. He also converted his lone extra-point try.

Elliott had gone four straight games without missing a kick. Though he blew a chip shot Monday, Elliott redeemed himself by breaking a 10-10 tie with the 48-yard boot with 22 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Cowboys, the rookie sports 117 points across 14 games, good for 12th in the league among kickers.

McManus made his lone kick, a 31-yard field goal, in Sunday's 27-11 loss to the Redskins.

McManus now sports 93 points in advance of Sunday's season finale against the Chiefs.

Tavecchio converted an extra point and made a 25-yard field goal, but missed from 48 yards in Monday's 19-10 loss to the Eagles.

Tavecchio still hasn't reached double figures since Week 1, leaving him with just 77 points this season.

Gano made all three of his field-goal attempts (25, 28 and 30 yards) but missed one of his two extra-point tries in Sunday's 22-19 win over the Buccaneers.

Gano's missed extra point marked just the fourth time he's missed on 65 total attempts this season. His 117 points on the campaign currently rank 12th league-wide.
