  • Colts' Spencer Shrader: Suffers season-ending knee injury

    Shrader is believed to have suffered a season-ending knee injury in Sunday's win over the Raiders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Shrader was injured on an extra-point attempt when a Las Vegas player collided with his right knee, and he's believed to have suffered multiple torn ligaments, per Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star. The Colts now will be in the market for a new kicker. If Shrader's season is indeed over, he'll finish the 2025 campaign having made 13 of 14 field-goal tries and all 14 of his extra-point attempts.

  • Patriots' Andy Borregales: Drills game winner in Buffalo

    Borregales went 3-for-3 on field-goal tries, including a 52-yard game winner in the final minute, and 2-for-2 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills.

    The kicker hit the decisive field goal right down the middle with more than enough distance to spare. He also made a 30-yarder and a 19-yarder in the first half, both of which proved decisive as well. The sixth-round draft pick missed a field goal in Week 1 and two extra points in Week 2, but he has been perfect since.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Bills' Matt Prater: Perfect again

    Prater made both of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots.

    The kicker made a 31-yarder early in the game and a 45-yarder in the fourth to briefly tie it up. Prater is now 10-for-11 on field-goal tries and 15-for-15 on extra-point attempts in 2025, and he has made every kick in four of five games this season. With Tyler Bass (left hip/groin) still on IR for the moment, the Bills' high-scoring kicking job belongs to Prater, who has also made a strong case to keep it.

  • Bengals' Evan McPherson: Makes every kick in loss

    McPherson hit his only field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the Lions.

    The kicker made a 50-yard field goal to put Cincinnati on the board at the end of the first half. McPherson is now 5-for-5 on field goals and 10-for-10 on extra points in 2025, though his opportunities have been limited with an offense that lost its quarterback, Joe Burrow (toe), in Week 2.

  • Giants' Jude McAtamney: Limited opportunities in loss

    McAtamney made both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Saints.

    The kicker was limited by a Giants offense that struggled after scoring on its first two drives. McAtamney is now 2-for-2 on field goals and 3-for-3 on extra points since replacing the injured Graham Gano (groin). Gano may take his job back once he's ready to return, but McAtamney can continue to make his case for this job, or another, if he gets a third chance with New York on Thursday night against Philadelphia.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Broncos' Wil Lutz: Drills 55-yarder in win

    Lutz connected on both field-goal tries and his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Eagles.

    The kicker nailed a 55-yarder to open the scoring in the first quarter, and he added a 36-yarder to solidify the Denver lead late in the fourth. Lutz, who hit 88 percent of his field goals in 2023 and 91 percent last year, is off to a good start again in 2025, going 6-for-7 on field-goal tries and 13-for-13 on extra-point attempts so far. If Denver's offense improves, his accuracy should become a real asset in fantasy football.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Misses long kick Sunday

    Carlson went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts in Sunday's 40-6 loss to the Colts.

    The kicker missed wide right on a 57-yard attempt as time expired in the first half, though he did make field goals from 24 and 37 yards, respectively. Carlson is now 9-for-12 on field-goal tries and a perfect 6-for-6 on extra points this season. Between the misses and a Raiders offense that has yet to score more than 24 points this year, Carlson is not one of the better kicking options in fantasy football at the moment.

  • Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Connects on only FGA in loss

    Patterson made his only field-goal attempt and went 3-for-3 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Panthers.

    Patterson finished off Miami's first possession of the game with a 43-yard field goal in the first quarter, which proved to be his only field goal of the day. The kicker has now gone 5-for-5 on field-goal tries and made all 12 of his PATs over five games with the Dolphins this season. Regular starter Jason Sanders (hip) is eligible to return from injured reserve, so it's unclear if Patterson will continue to be the team's kicker moving forward.

  • Nick Folk K | ATL

    Jets' Nick Folk: Hits two field goals in loss

    Folk connected on both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 37-22 loss to the Cowboys.

    The kicker made a 25-yarder in the first quarter and a 48-yarder in the third, though he did not get a chance to attempt an extra point. Folk is now 9-for-9 on field goals and 7-for-7 on extra points in 2025. At the same time, his kicking opportunities depend on a Jets offense that has been inconsistent so far this season.

  • Tyler Loop K | BAL

    Ravens' Tyler Loop: Limited action in loss

    Loop went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made his only PAT in Sunday's 44-10 loss to the Texans.

    Loop connected on a chip-shot 27-yard field goal in the first quarter before later missing a 55-yard attempt wide right as time expired in the first half. The miss was the rookie kicker's first of the year, and he has now gone 7-for-8 on field-goal tries, including 1-for-3 from 50-plus yards, while making 15 of 16 extra-point attempts through five games this season.
