    Jaguars' Jason Myers: Has field goal blocked in loss to Baltimore

    Myers converted one of two field-goal attempts and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's Week 3 loss to Baltimore.

    Myers connected on a 49-yard attempt midway through the fourth quarter to give Jacksonville a 17-16 lead, but with an opportunity to put Jacksonville up four with just over three minutes remaining, Myers' attempt from 52 yards was blocked. The Ravens recovered the ball and were able to drive down for what would prove to be the game-winning field goal with 1:02 remaining. Myers is now 4-of-6 overall on the season, while converting all six of his extra-point attempts.

  • Redskins' Dustin Hopkins: Perfect in Week 3 win

    Hopkins was 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on extra points in Sunday's win over the Giants.

    Hopkins had a busy day Sunday, knocking down five field goals, the longest from 49 yards out. The 25-year-old remains perfect on the year and has knocked down at least three field goals each game, making him one of the most prized kickers in fantasy leagues.

  • Blair Walsh K | ATL

    Vikings' Blair Walsh: Misses another extra point attempt

    Walsh made both field-goal attempts, from 31 and 28 yards, but missed his only extra-point attempt Sunday.

    Walsh continues to be inconsistent from shorter distances this season as he's missed two extra-point attempts and a 37-yard field-goal attempt. However, there are no signs the Vikings are considering a change at kicker.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Scores three points as offense struggles

    Boswell made 1-of-2 field goals (40) in Pittsburgh's 34-3 loss to Philadelphia on Sunday.

    The day got off to a bad start when Markus Wheaton dropped a touchdown pass in the back of the end zone on Pittsburgh's opening drive, and Boswell had his ensuing 36-yard field goal attempt blocked. After averaging 31 points the first two weeks, the Steelers struggled offensively all game, limiting Boswell's scoring opportunities.

  • Broncos' Brandon McManus: Goes four-of-five on field goals against the Colts

    McManus converted four-of-five field goal attempts and all three PAT attempts in Sunday's win over the Colts.

    McManus nailed field goals of 23, 43, 33 and 35 yards on Sunday, his lone blemish being a 54-yard miss following the game's opening drive. With Denver's offense, again, having plenty of success in the middle of the field, but some struggles as they approach the goal line, McManus should be called on often this season.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Goes three-for-three against Cleveland

    Tucker connected on both of his PAT attempts as well as all three of his field goal attempts in Sunday's win over the Browns.

    Tucker has hit all five of his field goal tries this season, including four beyond 40 yards and two of 50 yards or more. That's progress for the All-Pro kicker. After going 10-for-11 on kicks of 50 yards or greater in the first two seasons of his career, distance has been Tucker's Achilles heel as of late, with a rate of just eight out of 19 in 2014 and 2015.

  • Connor Barth K | CHI

    Bears' Connor Barth: Misses only field goal attempt Monday

    Barth missed his only field-goal attempt, but converted both of his extra-point attempts Monday against the Eagles.

    Barth missed a 31-yard field-goal attempt as he hit the left upright early in the game when the Bears were still in the contest. As the kicker on a weak offense, he's little more than a backup fantasy option.

  • Matt Bryant K | ATL

    Falcons' Matt Bryant: Hits all five kicks in win

    Bryant hit two chip-shot field goals and all three extra points in Sunday's win over the Raiders.

    Both of his field-goal attempts were shorter than his extra-point attempts, but it's good to see the veteran showing off some accuracy, even if it is from close range. Bryant is a good play Week 3 against the Saints.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Saints' Wil Lutz: Hits two of three field goals

    Lutz made two of this three field-goal attempts in Sunday's loss to the Giants. He also made his only extra-point try.

    Lutz converted on a 39-yard kick at the end of the first half, as well as a clutch 45-yard attempt that briefly tied the game late in the fourth quarter. Yet, Lutz directly contributed to the Giants' only touchdown of the game when, in the second quarter, his low kick was blocked at the line and returned for a touchdown. Lutz has plenty of leg and appears to still be in the good graces of the coaching staff, but he will need to clean up the miscues -- he also missed two field-goal attempts last week -- if he hopes to retain the starting kicking job in New Orleans.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Chiefs' Cairo Santos: Provides all of team's points in Week 2

    Santos converted all four of his field goal attempts in Week 2, including a 53-yard kick in the second quarter.

    Santos is perfect through two weeks, making all six of his field goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries. More offense should be expected in Week 3 as the Chiefs prepare to face a Jets team that's allowed 54 points through the first two games.
