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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Santos made one of his two field goal attempts Sunday against the Chargers.

Santos continues to be among the top scoring kickers when it comes to field goals, but didn't receive many opportunities Sunday. However, the Chiefs will continue to face favorable matchups down the stretch, making him a decent option the rest of the way.

Hocker was released by the Rams on Tuesday, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

With Greg Zuerlein (hip) back in action this past Sunday, Hocker's spot on the 53-man roster was expendable. Hocker will finish his stint with the Rams with just one field goal and one PAT to his credit.

Barth connected on a 39-yard field-goal attempt, but missed wide left from 47 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Saints. He also converted both of his extra-point attempts.

Three of Barth's four missed field goals on the season have come from between 40 and 49 yards. The veteran kicker's Week 14 misfire came at a key time, as it prevented Tampa from narrowing a 17-10 third quarter deficit after the offense had put together an 11-play, 55-yard drive. Barth will have the luxury of kicking in the ideal conditions of the Edward Jones Dome in the Bucs' Week 15 road tilt against the Rams.
