Elliott made two of three field-goal attempts in Monday's 34-24 win over the Redskins and also added four extra points.

The Eagles had the game well in hand when his 45-yard attempt clanged off the right upright in the fourth quarter, ending his streak of consecutive attempts made at 12. Prior to the miss, he had been successful from 42 and 50 yards. The rookie continues to provide solid fantasy numbers from the kicker position as the Eagles head into a Week 8 matchup with the 49ers.

Tucker connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Vikings.

The All-Pro kicker is officially back after some uncharacteristic misses early in the season. He drilled field goals of 48, 57 and 47 yards against the Vikings and has made all nine of his field-goal attempts over the last three weeks. Baltimore's offense struggles to get into plus-territory, which can occasionally cut down on Tucker's chances; however, he's capable of providing points anytime the Ravens get inside the opponent's 40-yard line. He'll return home this week to face off against the Dolphins on Thursday Night Football.

Zuerlein connected on all four field-goal attempts and converted two extra-point kicks during Sunday's 33-0 win over Arizona.

Zuerein has now converted 21 of 22 field-goal attempts and every extra-point opportunity heading into Los Angeles' Week 8 bye. The Rams' offense is showing no signs of slowing down, so Zuerlein projects to remain a strong fantasy asset in all settings following this week's layoff.

Boswell converted all five field-goal attempts (22, 24, 25, 41 and 49 yards) and both of his extra- point attempts in Pittsburgh's 29-14 win over Cincinnati on Sunday.

His five field goals are a Heinz Field record, and he has now kicked 11 field goals in his last two games against the Bengals. Take note of that heading into Week 13, when Pittsburgh faces Cincinnati in a Monday night contest. In the meantime, Boswell will face Detroit in Week 8, against whom opposing kickers have scored an average of 6.8 points per game this season.

Gano is dealing with a knee injury in the aftermath of Sunday's 17-3 loss at Chicago, Joe Person of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Although Gano didn't miss any practice reps last week, he was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report. The ailment didn't stop him from suiting up Sunday and striking true on his only kick, a 36-yard field goal. However, he was icing his knee after the game, which will spur the Panthers to work out kickers Tuesday, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Gano isn't in danger of missing time yet, but his status bears watching as he ranks sixth in scoring with 59 points this season.

Lutz made both his field-goal attempts and went 2-for-3 in extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-17 win against the Packers.

Lutz converted on field goals of 28 and 44 yards, but his third-quarter extra-point attempt was blocked. Lutz had some problems with kicks getting blocked early last season, but he seemingly remedied the issue as the year progressed. Unless the problem rears its ugly head in future games, owners probably shouldn't worry too much about it, especially with the Saints offense clicking over the last few weeks.

Tavecchio made a 26-yard field goal to go along with four extra points during Thursday's 31-30 win over the Chiefs, but he missed a pair of attempts from 53 and 45 yards out.

Tavecchio entered the Raiders' Week 7 matchup having made nine straight field-goal attempts to begin the season, though he also missed an extra point in Week 6. Tavecchio's miss from 53 yards Thursday shouldn't be of much concern since it was blocked, but a wide-left miss from 45 yards was a bit of a disappointment. He'll look to bounce back at Buffalo in Week 8.

Barth kicked a 19-yard field goal along with a pair of extra points in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Panthers.

Barth was in line for a potential 43-yard field-goal attempt, but after Mitch Trubisky took a third-down sack, he ended up attempting the kick from 53 yards out and came up short. His successful three-pointer came from a nominal distance, and he had another sub-par fantasy performance. He'll continue to be a weak fantasy option for the time being, as he simply doesn't get enough opportunities to be a consistent producer with the present conservative state of the Bears offense.

Butker converted each of his three field-goal attempts and added three extra points in Thursday's game against the Raiders.

Butker has been one of the best kickers in the league since his signing from the Panthers' practice squad in Week 4. However, the team's matchup with a stingy Broncos defense next week could limit his attempts.

Gano converted his only field-goal attempt to give the Panthers their only score in Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Bears.

Gano overcame a knee injury to suit up Sunday and did all that was needed of him. Although a better offensive performance from Carolina would've helped Gano's output, his relative inactivity perhaps enabled his knee to gain some extra rest. While no fault of his own, Gano's three points still marked a season low, as he hadn't registered fewer than seven prior to Sunday.
