Zach Hocker K | TB
Rams' Zach Hocker: Hits field goal against Cards
Hocker made his only field goal attempt in Sunday's 27-3 loss to Arizona.
Hocker's dealing with a little bit of an injury, but has not missed a kick while filling in for Greg Zuerlein. That has only been two attempts, one field goal and one extra point, however, so even in the deepest leagues Hocker has no value.

Cairo Santos K | CHI
Chiefs' Cairo Santos: Goes without field goal
Santos went without a field goal in Sunday's game against the Raiders, also missing one of his three extra point attempts.
Santos has now missed two extra points on the season, but Sunday marked just the second time this season he hasn't made a field goal. The Chiefs have some weak defenses on the upcoming slate, which could lead to many scoring opportunities.

Chris Boswell K | PIT
Steelers' Chris Boswell: 13 points in win
Boswell converted three of four field goals (29, 42, 51) and four of four extra points in Pittsburgh's win over Indianapolis on Sunday.
His one miss came from 47 yards out, but he matched his career-long field goal and improved to two of two on field goal attempts from 50-plus yards this season. He also surpassed Matt Bahr for the second-most field goals made by a rookie/first-year player in team history.

Justin Tucker K | BAL
Ravens' Justin Tucker: Misses another field goal
Tucker made two of his three field-goal attempts and kicked one extra point in Sunday's 15-13 loss to the Dolphins.
Tucker has converted a career-worst 78.8 percent of his field-goal attempts this season, but six of his seven misses have come from beyond 50 yards. He's still one of the better options at his position, as Baltimore's willingness to let him try long kicks allows for the kind of volume that's typically reserved for kickers attached to potent offenses. However, the Ravens may find even field-goal attempts tough to come by in a Week 14 matchup with the Seahawks.

Jason Myers K | SEA
Jaguars' Jason Myers: Misses two extra points in loss
Myers did not attempt a field goal in Sunday's loss to the Titans, but he was responsible for two missed extra points.
Myers has made 22-of-26 field goals on the year, but he's struggled mightily with extra points. After Sunday's pair of misses, which ended up costing Jacksonville a chance to tie the game, he's now misfired on six extra points this season. While he's certainly a candidate to be released this offseason, it seems unlikely that he'll be cut with only four games remaining.

Graham Gano K | NYG
Panthers' Graham Gano: Five points Sunday
Gano finished with five points in Sunday's game against the Saints, converting 5-of-6 extra point attempts and not attempting a field goal on the day.
Gano's lone missed extra point Sunday was blocked by the Saints and returned for two points, the first time that scoring play has occurred in NFL history. Despite the Panthers notching 41 points Sunday, Gano didn't attempt a single field goal, thus resulting in only five points, which marked Gano's second-lowest scoring outing of the season.

Zach Hocker K | TB
Rams' Zach Hocker: Starting at kicker in Week 13
Hocker will be the placekicker Sunday against the Cardinals, as Greg Zuerlein (hip) is inactive, Nick Wagoner of ESPN reports.
With Zuerlein (hip) missing his second game in a row, Hocker will handle all kicking duties for the Rams again. Hocker will hope to be busier than he was last week, when his only scoring chance was an extra point attempt, which he was successful on.

Jason Myers K | SEA
Jaguars' Jason Myers: Suits up Sunday
Myers (back) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Myers has recorded double-digit points (11, 10, 13 and 13) in each of his last four outings, making him a decent option for those looking for a Week 13 boost at the kicker position.

Zach Hocker K | TB
Rams' Zach Hocker: Set to replace Zuerlein again
Hocker's teammate Greg Zuerlein (groin) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, ESPN's Nick Wagoner reports.
Limited to a lone extra-point attempt in Week 12, Hocker could be in for another quiet afternoon, with his Rams facing a strong Arizona defense. Greg Zuerlein's status beyond Sunday is uncertain.
