  • Matt Bryant K | ATL

    Falcons' Matt Bryant: Hits double figures

    Bryant converted both of his field-goal attempts (49 and 36 yards) and all four of his extra-point tries en route to 10 points in Sunday's 34-20 win over the Buccaneers.

    Bryant's stat line was exactly the same as his Week 11 outing, helping him climb to eighth in the league in points.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Saints' Wil Lutz: Perfect in defeat

    Lutz converted field-goal attempts of 50 and 21 yards along with two extra-point tries en route to eight points in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Rams.

    Lutz has registered at least eight points in all but one game this season, helping him accumulate the third-most points (104) in the league.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Just four points

    Butker made his lone field-goal attempt and extra-point try en route to four points in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Bills.

    Butker started his career with double-digit points in four of five games, but he's combined for just 18 over his last three outings amid Kansas City's mounting offensive struggles.

  • Rams' Greg Zuerlein: Nets 14 points

    Zuerlein converted four of five field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries en route to 14 points in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Saints.

    Zuerlein's only miss came from 63 yards as the first half expired. Following last week's one-point outing, the league's leading scorer certainly bounced back well.

  • Raiders' Giorgio Tavecchio: Misses lone field-goal attempt against Broncos

    Tavecchio converted all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 21-14 win over the Broncos, but he also missed a 35-yard field-goal attempt.

    Tavecchio has remained reliable on extra-point attempts for the Raiders this season, but he's now missed three of his last six field-goal tries dating back to Week 7. Oakland's offense might be without its top two receivers in Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper (ankle, concussion) against the Giants this week, which could ultimately limit the team's overall scoring chances. Either way, Tavecchio has not been a very consistent source of fantasy production.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Makes only attempt in return

    Elliott was successful on his lone field-goal attempt and perfect on four extra points in Sunday's 31-3 win over the Bears.

    Just one 45-yard attempt was an ideal way to get back into the groove for Elliott, who left early in Week 11 due to a concussion. Recently assured by coach Doug Pederson that he'll keep the job even when Caleb Sturgis is healthy, the Memphis product remains one of the top kickers in fantasy going forward.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Panthers' Graham Gano: Nets nine points

    Gano made all three of his field-goal attempts (40, 33 and 45 yards) but missed his only extra-point try in Sunday's 35-27 win over the Jets.

    Gano's failed extra point marked just his third missed kick of any variety this season. Through 11 games, he sports an admirable 90 points.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Hits game-winner as time expires

    Boswell converted two of three PAT and his lone field-goal (53) in Pittsburgh's 31-28 win over Green Bay Sunday night.

    After missing just one PAT in 78 tries during the first 35 games of his career, Boswell has missed two of his last eight attempts in the past three games. Still, he was able to redeem himself by making a 53-yard field goal, tying the record for the longest field goal in Heinz Field history, as time ran out to secure the win. His next game is against the Bengals, who he burned for 17 points earlier this season, and who allow the third most points to opposing kickers.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Lions' Matt Prater: Nails 50-yarder against Vikings

    Prater converted all three of his field-goal attempts and both PATs during Thursday's 30-23 loss to the Vikings.

    Prater was his normal, accurate self Thursday and still hasn't missed from within the confines of Ford Field this season. Furthermore, he's now attempted a kick from 50 yards or longer in nine of 11 games while making seven of 10 from that range. As one of the highest-upside kickers in fantasy, plug Prater into fantasy lineups with confidence for the Lions' Week 13 matchup with the Ravens.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Cleared from concussion protocol

    Elliott was cleared from the concussion protocol Friday morning, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

    Elliott put in a full practice Thursday, so clearing the concussion protocol was the last hurdle he needed to cross before being given the green light to play in Week 12. He will have a favorable matchup this week, squaring off against a Bears team that allowed opposing kickers to total seven field goals -- three between 40-49 yards and two from 50 yards and beyond -- and seven extra points over its last three games.
