  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: "Legit" chance to play this week

    Head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Boswell (abdomen) has a "legit" chance to play this week, Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Boswell was unable to suit up in Week 13 due to his injury, but it appears that could be the extent of his absence. Boswell's availability for the Steelers' Week 14 matchup will ultimately be determined later this week, and if he is unable to go, Randy Bullock would likely handle the kicking duties for the second week in a row.

  • Rams' Greg Zuerlein: Hits 44-yard field goal against Pats

    Zuerlein connected on a 44-yard field goal and converted his extra-point attempt during Sunday's loss to New England.

    Zuerlein has hit 16 of 19 field goals and converted each of his 18 extra-point attempts this season, but his lack of opportunities make him a low-end fantasy option. His fortunes are unlikely to change going forward, either.

  • Redskins' Dustin Hopkins: Perfect on Sunday

    Hopkins went 3-for-3 in field goal attempts and 2-for-2 in extra point attempts in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

    Hopkins rebounded after a dismal Thanksgiving performance in which he was 2-for-4 on field goal attempts. His 53-yard field goal was the longest this season. He'll look to keep it rolling Sunday in Philadelphia.

  • Dolphins' Andrew Franks: Misses lone attempt

    Franks missed his only field goal attempt, finishing without a point in Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Franks missed wide left from 46 yards to end Miami's first offensive drive of the game. It was his fourth miss on 17 attempts this season, and although the Dolphins didn't give him the opportunity Sunday, Franks has yet to miss a single one of his 28 extra-point tries this term.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Panthers' Graham Gano: One point Sunday

    Gano made his lone extra point and did not attempt a field goal in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks.

    Gano's involvement was greatly limited due to the struggles the Panthers had moving the ball and remaining close on the scoreline Sunday. Surprisingly, Gano now hasn't attempted a field goal for two weeks, something he'll hope changes this weekend against the Chargers.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Saints' Wil Lutz: Tallies seven points in Week 13

    Lutz made two field goals and an extra point in Sunday's loss to the Lions.

    Last week, Lutz did not attempt a field goal but hit seven extra-point attempts. Against the Lions in Week 13, Lutz again tallied seven points, nailing his lone extra-point try and converting both of field-goal attempts, one from 40 yards and another from 32 yards. The Saints have been one of the league's best offenses this season -- notwithstanding the offense's meager output in Week 13 -- so Lutz should continue to be afforded plenty of scoring opportunities over the final quarter of the season.

  • Eagles' Caleb Sturgis: Misses only field-goal opportunity

    Sturgis missed a field-goal try from 51 yards but made two extra points in Sunday's loss to the Bengals.

    It was only Sturgis' second game this year where he hasn't made at least two field goals. He should come out with a stronger performance in a divisional matchup against the Redskins in Week 14.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Accounts for eight total points Sunday

    Tucker converted all five of his extra-point attempts Sunday and made a 55-yard field goal in the Ravens' win over the Dolphins.

    Tucker's perfect season continued Sunday as he made all six of his kicks to account for eight total points. His five extra points were more than twice his previous season high as Baltimore was able to put up 38 points on Miami's defense. Tucker's field goal was his league-leading eighth of at least 50 yards this season. For reference, no kicker made more than seven such kicks in the entire 2015 campaign.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Lions' Matt Prater: Five-for-five against Saints

    Prater converted all five field-goal attempts and his only extra-point attempt during Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Prater tied his career high for field goals made in a game Sunday, easily logging his most productive day of the season along the way. Prater again showcased his leg power by notching his second 50-yarder in four weeks. He'll look to stay on fire next week against an average Bears defense allowing the 17th-most points per game in 2016.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Inactive Sunday

    Boswell (abdomen) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    With Boswell unable to go Sunday, Randy Bullock will handle the Steelers' Week 13 kicking duties.
