  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Chiefs' Cairo Santos: Perfect day Sunday

    Santos converted both of his field goal attempts Sunday, including one from 53 yards away, and added four extra points on the day.

    Santos continues to be among the league's top scoring kicker in terms of field goals made, but has lacked a bit in extra points. He made up some ground Sunday by getting four chances, and could have a fair number of opportunities again in Week 16 when the Chiefs take on a Browns team that's allowing 27.6 points per game this season.

  • Rams' Greg Zuerlein: Dealing with illness

    Zuerlein didn't practice Tuesday due to an illness, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    An official injury report isn't required of the Rams until Wednesday, but Zuerlein's absence places him on the radar during Week 16. The second half of this season has been plagued by a hip injury and a lack of field goal attempts, as he has been handed just two attempts over his last three appearances. As a result, he sits behind six skill-position players on the NFL-wide leader board with 71 points in 12 contests.

  • Broncos' Brandon McManus: No FGs in loss to Steelers

    McManus was 3 of 4 on PATs and did not attempt a field goal during Sunday's loss to the Steelers.

    A week after getting five field goal attempts, McManus was back to his relatively low-usage ways, as he's failed to hit multiple field goals in six of his last seven games. The Broncos' offense hasn't given him many opportunities, though he has missed three kicks in the last four weeks. He'll finish off the regular season with two games at home, which could help his kicks from distance.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Scores 10 points in win

    Boswell hit both field-goal attempts (24, 41) and all four extra-point tries in the Steelers win over the Broncos on Sunday.

    It doesn't seem to matter what defense Pittsburgh faces, as they extended their streak of scoring 30 or more points in a game to six. As a result, Boswell continues to put-up solid fantasy numbers. He has now converted 26-of-28 field-goals and 22-of-23 extra-points in 10 games, and has scored 10 or more points in each of the last six games.

  • Travis Coons K | LAR

    Browns' Travis Coons: Listed as active Sunday

    Coons (groin) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    Coons is available this week, but since recording back-to-back 13-point efforts in Weeks 4 and 5, he's only scored more than six points once, when he logged nine in Week 12.

    Browns' Travis Coons: Travels with team

    Coons (groin) traveled with the Browns to Seattle, Cleveland Plain Dealer writer Mark Kay Cabot reports.

    Coons is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle but the general expectation is that he will play, and traveling with the team is obviously one checkmark in that process. Austin Davis is expected to serve as emergency kicker.

  • Connor Barth K | CHI

    Buccaneers' Connor Barth: Perfect on all five kicks in Week 15 loss

    Barth successfully converted field goals of 53, 32 and 24 yards and was perfect on two extra-point attempts in Thursday's 31-23 loss to the Rams.

    Barth has now impressively nailed 75 percent of his field goals over 50 yards, and unsurprisingly thrived in the cozy confines of the Edward Jones Dome on Thursday. He continues to be a valuable weapon for the Bucs, particularly in games such as Thursday's where a ferocious pass rush often caused their drives to stall in the red zone. Barth has converted an impressive 84.6 percent (22 for 26) of his field goal opportunities this season.

  • Travis Coons K | LAR

    Browns' Travis Coons: Listed as questionable for Week 15

    Coons (right groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    Per the report, the Browns are optimistic that Coons will be able to give it a go Sunday, but it's worth noting that the team worked out a handful of kickers on Friday. Those considering waiting things out on Coons this week should be aware that the Browns kick off at 4:05 ET on Sunday.

  • Rams' Greg Zuerlein: Makes only field goal try in win

    Zuerlein nailed a 19-yarder and added four extra points in Thursday's 31-23 win against the Buccaneers.

    Zuerlein hasn't been used much since returning from injury, but has hit his only field goal try and made all seven extra points. The Rams' offense came alive a little bit this week, but St. Louis will now run into a hot Seahawks team, which doesn't bode well for Zuerlein's productivity.

  • Travis Coons K | LAR

    Browns' Travis Coons: Limited at practice Thursday

    Coons (right groin) was limited at practice Thursday, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    We'll revisit Coons' status Friday, but unless the Browns sign another kicker in short order, we'd expect him to be a go Sunday against the Seahawks.
