Barth converted an extra point, but didn't attempt a field goal in Monday's loss to the Vikings.

The Bears struggled to move the ball consistently against a stout Minnesota defense, and Barth wasn't called upon to attempt a field goal. In addition, after the team scored its second touchdown of the night, it opted to go for a two-point conversion. Playing on a low-volume offense, he's a weak fantasy option.

Zuerlein connected on one of his two field-goal attempts and hit an extra-point kick during Sunday's 16-10 loss to Seattle.

Zuerlein was perfect through the first four games of the season and also converted seven field goals in the previous week's win over Dallas. While fantasy owners were stung with a disappointing showing against Seattle, Zuerlein's unblemished streak wasn't going to last the entire year. The biggest takeaway from Sunday is that Los Angeles moved the ball well enough to provide him with opportunities against a strong Seattle defense. Zuerlein projects to remain a serviceable option in the majority of settings.

Tucker converted all three of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's win over the Raiders.

His 12 total points easily marked a season high for Tucker, who had attempted just four field goals in the last three weeks heading into Sunday. Tucker benefitted from Baltimore's success on offense as the Ravens were able to push into plus territory far more than they had during their two-game skid. The Ravens will return to Baltimore for Week 6, where Tucker has converted 83.9 percent of his field goal attempts over his career.

Butker made all five of his field-goal attempts and three extra-point tries in Sunday's 42-34 win over the Texans.

A week after knocking home a game-winning field goal with four seconds remaining against Washington, Butker backed it up with a perfect showing in Week 5. He will attempt to keep things rolling next week against the Steelers.

Gonzalez missed both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Jets. He converted both extra points.

Gonzalez left six points and likely a win on the board by missing from 52 yards and 39 yards. The rookie kicker -- who beat out Cody Parkey in training camp -- has now missed a whopping three field goals out of five attempts and could find himself on the hot seat.

Tavecchio made his lone field-goal attempt from 32 yards to go along with a pair of extra points during Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Ravens.

Tavecchio has attempted just four fields goals throughout the Raiders' past four games and has yet to miss a single attempt this season. With quarterback Derek Carr (back) potentially returning from injury in Week 6 against the Chargers, the Raiders offense will look to get back on track and add to Tavecchio's scoring opportunities.

Prater converted his only field-goal attempt and all three PATs during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Panthers.

Prater didn't get many opportunities to score in this one, as the Lions largely struggled to move the ball through both the ground and air until late in the contest. While it's concerning that he's been limited to one field-goal attempt in three of five games this year, Prater attempted at least two field goals in 13 of 17 games last season, which suggests he should see a larger workload more often than not moving forward.

The Buccaneers placed Folk, who had been experiencing tendinitis in the knee of his (left) plant leg, on injured reserve Monday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The injury is only a minor concern for Folk and likely wouldn't have affected his availability for the Buccaneers' Week 6 matchup with the Cardinals, but the move to IR will delay his inevitable release after the team signed Patrick Murray in a corresponding move to serve as its new placekicker. Folk lost the gig after missing three field goals in Tampa Bay's Week 5 loss to the New England, which came after he misfired on a pair of field goals and extra points across the team's first three contests of the season. Once Folk is deemed healthy, he'll be released off injured reserve and become eligible to sign elsewhere, but the accuracy issues he's displayed to date may limit the interest of other teams.

Myers converted his only field goal attempt and went 3-for-4 on extra points in Sunday's 30-9 win over the Steelers.

After going 2-for-3 in the team's Week 4 loss to the Jets, Myers rebounded to make a 47-yarder Sunday, though he did misfire on an extra point for the second time this season. Through five weeks, Myers has converted 10 of 13 field goals and 13 of 15 extra-point attempts.

Gano made two of three field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries en route to nine points in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Lions.

Gano's first missed field goal of the campaign came from 55 yards, making it somewhat excusable. Through five games, the veteran has tallied 45 points, vaulting him toward the top of the kicker rankings.
