Barth converted one of two field goal attempts in Sunday's 10-6 victory over Dallas, making a 52-yard try and missing from a distance of 46 yards. He also converted his sole extra-point attempt.

Barth has now missed field goal attempts in two consecutive games after successfully converting his first 11 attempts in his current Bucs tenure. The veteran kicker is still proving to have been a wise acquisition after it became evident that rookie Kyle Brindza wasn't quite ready for the rigors of the NFL.

Zuerlein hit both of his field goal tries in a 37-13 loss to Chicago on Sunday.

This was actually the first game in a month that Zuerlein had not missed an attempt. He does have six field goals in his last two games, and with Baltimore on the horizon next week, is not a terrible option if you're desperate for a kicker.

Hopkins made all four field goals and all five extra points in Sunday's win against the Saints.

Hopkins has made 16 of 17 field goals and all 19 extra points this season. His only miss coming on a 50+ yarder.

McManus didn't attempt a field goal and connected on his only PAT during Sunday's loss to the Chiefs.

The Broncos' offense was dominated Sunday, as they trailed 22-0 heading into the fourth quarter, and McManus has been doing little for fantasy owners, connecting on three field goals in the last three weeks combined. Up next is a Week 11 trip to face the Bears, who are coached by former Broncos head coach John Fox.

Boswell made 3-of-3 field goals (24, 25, 34) and 1-of-2 extra point attempts in the Steelers' win over the Browns on Sunday.

One week after missing his first field goal attempt of the season, Boswell missed his first extra point attempt. However, he still had a solid game and, with the offense racking up 68 points in their last two games, he should get plenty of scoring opportunities, especially since it appears that Ben Roethlisberger (foot) won't miss any time after the bye week.

The Jets placed Folk (quad) on injured reserve Tuesday.

It appeared Folk would be able to return to action later this year despite straining his quad Sunday against the Jaguars, but the Jets ultimiately decided to place him on injured reserve, which opens up a roster spot but brings Folk's season to a close. Randy Bullock will take over as the Jets' kicker moving forward.

Barth was successful on field goal attempts of 25, 28, 21, and 53 yards, but missed a 43-yard try in Sunday's 32-18 loss to the Giants.

Barth's miss was his first since his return to the Bucs earlier in the season after having converted 11 straight attempts. Despite the lone misfire, Barth now holds the distinction of being the only kicker in team history to make at least three field goals in four consecutive games. The veteran kicker did not attempt an extra point for the first time in his current Bucs stint.

Zuerlein made four of five field goals -- including a 61-yarder -- in Sunday's 21-18 overtime loss to Minnesota.

This was a confidence-builder of a game for Zuerlein, who was really struggling coming in. He missed out on a chance for an extra point when St. Louis went for two, but was basically the entire Rams offense on this day. If St. Louis' offense continues to struggle and Zuerlein can put a few solid games together, he may be of use late in the season.

Boswell connected on 3-of-4 field goals (18, 34, 38) and 3-of-3 extra points in Pittsburgh's 38-35 win against Oakland on Sunday.

Although he missed his first kick of the season, a 41-yard field goal attempt earlier in the game, Boswell redeemed himself by connecting on an 18-yarder with 2 seconds left to earn the win for the Steelers. He has averaged 8.4 PPG and has a favorable match-up in Week 10 against the 30th ranked Cleveland defense.

Folk is expected to miss a month due to a Grade-1 quadriceps strain, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.

As a result, the Jets reportedly worked out Billy Cundiff, Garrett Hartley, Kyle Brindza and Randy Bullock on Monday, as the team scrambles to line up a new kicker in advance of Thursday's game against the Bills.
