  • Broncos' Brandon McManus: Hits double digits

    McManus converted all three of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try en route to 10 points in Sunday's 41-16 loss to the Patriots.

    McManus has now reached double figures in back-to-back games heading into Sunday's matchup with the Bengals.

  • Matt Bryant K | ATL

    Falcons' Matt Bryant: Tallies nine points

    Bryant converted both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries en route to nine points in Sunday's 27-7 win over the Cowboys.

    Bryant missed a couple days of practice due to a calf problem, but that didn't prevent him from suiting up and performing well. In fact, the 42-year-old drilled a 50-yard field goal Sunday. Through nine games, Bryant sports 71 points.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Saints' Wil Lutz: Misses extra point

    Lutz converted both of his field-goal attempts and five of his six extra-point tries en route to 11 points in Sunday's 47-10 win over the Bills.

    Lutz now has four double-digit scoring outings this season, but upon missing an extra point Sunday, he's only made all his kicks in three of nine appearances. Given the Saints' offensive production, however, he still boasts 82 points on the campaign.

  • Rams' Greg Zuerlein: Scores 15 points again

    Zuerlein converted all four of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries en route to 15 points in Sunday's 33-7 win over the Texans.

    Zuerlein continues to be an outstanding fantasy asset, as he's now tallied 15 points in three straight games. The league's leading scorer, Zuerlein boasts 23 more points than the next closest kicker.

  • Browns' Zane Gonzalez: Gets back on track

    Gonzalez knocked in his only field-goal attempt during Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Lions. He also converted all three of his PATs.

    Gonzalez was successful on a 23-yard attempt Sunday, and his job should be safe for the time being. The rookie kicker is just eight of 12 on field goals on the season, and there was talk of the team trying out other kickers during Cleveland's bye week. That, however, never came to fruition, though another bout with inaccuracy could quickly change that.

  • Connor Barth K | CHI

    Bears' Connor Barth: Best performance of season

    Barth made all three of his field-goal attempts while converting an extra point in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Packers.

    Barth had his first perfect outing since Week 6, leading to a season-high 10 points. Although he's been a weak fantasy option for most of the season, he's had three field-goal attempts in two straight games, and with the Bears improving a bit on offense, Barth could be emerging as a useful fantasy option.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Misses second straight FGA

    Fairbairn missed a 34-yard field-goal attempt and made his lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 33-7 loss to the Rams.

    Fairbairn has missed two straight field-goal kicks, each from the 30-39 yard range, and has scored just three points over the last two games with Tom Savage at quarterback. We'll never know whether or not the miss played a large factor in Sunday's loss, but it notably occurred during the second quarter at a time when the Texans were down 3-0. Playing without Deshaun Watson (knee), Houston's offense has no margin of error, so it's incumbent on Fairbairn to make kicks that are considered chip shots.

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

    Boswell made two of three field-goals (33, 41) and had a PAT blocked in Pittsburgh's 20-17 come-from-behind win at Indianapolis Sunday.

    This was a rough outing for Boswell, who bounced a field goal off the upright and also missed his first PAT of the season, before redeeming himself by making a field goal as time ran out for the win. The Steelers have a short week, hosting the Titans, who allow opposing kickers an average of 7.7 PPG, on Thursday night.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Lions' Matt Prater: Flawless against Cleveland

    Prater converted his only field-goal attempt and all five PATs during Sunday's 38-24 victory over the Browns.

    The Lions were effective both running and passing the ball Sunday, which led to increased success in the red zone. Prater thus wasn't called on much, but still salvaged his fantasy output with a flawless performance on his PATs -- an area in which Prater hasn't missed this season. The Central Florida product is now averaging 2.4 field-goal attempts and 2.6 PATs per game entering a Week 11 matchup against the Bears.

  • Marshall Koehn: Waived by Bengals

    Koehn was waived by the Bengals on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Koehn did all that was asked of him in Week 9, making his lone extra-point attempt, but Randy Bullock (back) is apparently ready to go for Sunday's game against the Titans, despite being listed as questionable. The 25-year-old could end up on the practice squad if he clear waivers, and could potentially have some tryouts later this season if any other teams suffer from kicker issues or injuries.
