    Buccaneers' Nick Folk: Perfect on field goals in opener

    Folk connected on field goals of 42, 50 and 23 yards and made two of three extra-point attempts in Sunday's 29-7 win over the Bears.

    The veteran kicker delivered as expected, providing a tangible reminder of why he quickly prevailed in the preseason kicking competition against Roberto Aguayo. Folk showed impressive leg on second-quarter 50-yarder and a missed extra-point attempt following Robert McClain's pick-six served as his only blemish on the day. Folk appears primed for plenty of scoring opportunities this season due to the Bucs' improved offense.

  • Browns' Zane Gonzalez: Converts only field-goal attempt Sunday

    Gonzalez converted on a 38-yard field goal during Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Ravens. He also made his only PAT attempt.

    Gonzalez is perfect on the year, hitting both of his field-goal attempts during the first two weeks of the season. However, with Cleveland's inept offense, his chances will be slim, making him an untrustworthy fantasy option.

  • Raiders' Giorgio Tavecchio: Stays perfect in Week 2

    Tavecchio made his lone field-goal attempt from 29 yards to go along with six extra-points in as many tries during Sunday's 45-20 win over the Jets.

    Tavecchio remained perfect through the first two weeks of his NFL career as he converted on all seven of his overall attempts in Week 2. His total fantasy production took a slight hit with the Raiders finding the end zone six times against a struggling Jets defense, essentially reducing what could have been additional field-goal opportunities for Tavecchio. Oakland is slated to face a tougher test on the road against the Redskins in Week 3, while Tavecchio looks to maintain his recent success.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYG

    Chargers' Younghoe Koo: Remains team's kicker for now

    Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said Koo is "our kicker" and relayed he has no plans to replace the undrafted rookie, Ricky Henne of the Chargers' official site reports.

    It's been a brutal two-week stretch for Koo, who had his game-tying field goal blocked in Week 1 against the Broncos, only to miss a game-winning field goal Sunday against the Dolphins. In total, Koo has now missed three of four field-goal attempts to start his career and figures to be on a short leash should his struggles continue to bleed further into the regular season.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Chiefs' Cairo Santos: Perfect showing in Week 2

    Santos knocked home each of his two field-goal attempts and three extra-point attempts in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Eagles.

    Santos has attempted just two field goals through two weeks this season. However, the Chiefs have also scored nine touchdowns combined between the two contests, allowing him nine PATs. He's yet to misfire and should continue to see plenty of usage given what appears to be an explosive Kansas City offense.

  • Matt Bryant K | ATL

    Falcons' Matt Bryant: Connects on six kicks in win

    Bryant connected on two field goals and four extra points in Sunday's 34-23 win over the Packers.

    Both of Bryant's field goals were over 50 yards, so the ageless wonder proved that he's still got plenty of accuracy. Playing in a high-scoring offense and kicking off turf bodes well for his chances of being one of the more prolific kickers this season.

  • Redskins' Dustin Hopkins: Makes two of three field-goal attempts Sunday

    Hopkins was 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts and was 3-for-3 on extra-point tries in Sunday's win over the Rams.

    Hopkins, who has struggled from distance his entire career, missed a 51-yard attempt off the right upright Sunday, making it his first miss of the season. However, he was able to connect from both 41 and 22 yards earlier in the game. The Redskins offense has stumbled out of the gate this season, which hasn't left the kicker with many scoring opportunities through the first two weeks.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Misses first 50-yarder since 2015

    Tucker missed a 58-yard field goal Sunday but did convert a 28-yard attempt in addition to making all three of his extra-point tries in the Ravens' win over the Browns.

    The All-Pro kicker hadn't missed a 50-yard attempt since 2015 after converting all 10 of such tries in 2016. Tucker did bounce back by making all of his other attempts Sunday, finishing the day with six points. In Week 3, Tucker and the Ravens will travel to London for a game at Wembley Stadium against the Jaguars.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Jaguars' Jason Myers: Connects on lone field goal attempt in Week 2

    Myers hit a 43-yard field goal and converted his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's Week 2 loss to the Titans.

    After missing a 39-yarder in Week 1, Myers responded with an encouraging, albeit quiet, Week 2. While his spot looked to be somewhat in jeopardy during the preseason, Myers now has a stronger grasp on the job, though that could always change if he goes through a rough period at any point in the season.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Saints' Wil Lutz: Misses first field goal since last November

    Lutz made two of three field-goal attempts and converted two extra-point tries in Sunday's loss to the Patriots.

    Lutz's missed field goal -- a 49-yard kick that banged off the upright -- was his first since last November, a streak of 19 straight successful field goals. Although the Saints offense seems uncharacteristically out of sync through its first two games, Lutz has still been busy, and his big leg has allowed him to accrue some solid point totals thus far, especially in fantasy leagues where longer field goals are worth additional points.
