  • Matt Gay K | IND

    Colts' Matt Gay: Accurate in road loss

    Gay made both of his two field-goal tries and converted his only extra-point attempt during Sunday's 31-13 loss at Denver.

    Gay didn't see a ton of action on a day where the Colts turned the football over five times, but he did extend his streak of games without a missed kick to five. He's been a bright spot for Indianapolis this season, but he'll need his team to hold onto the ball if he's going to put up big fantasy numbers in Week 16 versus the Titans.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Converts all five extra points

    Tucker converted all five of his extra-point attempts Sunday against the Giants. He did not have a field-goal attempt.

    Concerns about Tucker's field-goal kicking were not addressed Sunday, as the Ravens never had to attempt one. The offense was in cruise control throughout the afternoon with five touchdowns on nine drives. Tucker was automatic on his extra-point attempts, though, which was encouraging after he missed one in his last outing against Philadelphia. The Ravens return home to host the Steelers on Saturday.

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: One misfire in shootout win

    Bass made two of his three field-goal tries and converted all six of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 48-42 win at Detroit.

    Bass missed a kick for the third time in his last four games in Week 15, this time pushing a field-goal attempt wide right from just 24 yards out. He's been less consistent overall this season than in years past, with five missed field-goal attempts from inside of 50 yards plus four missed extra points. He'll likely get a chance to bring his conversion rates back up when Buffalo hosts the Patriots' middling defense in Week 16, assuming the Buffalo weather holds up.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Another perfect week

    Fairbairn converted both of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point kicks in Sunday's 20-12 win over Miami in Week 15.

    Fairbairn drilled one from 44 yards on Houston's first possession then was successful from 23 yards just before halftime. Since missing a short field-goal try that contributed to a loss in Week 12, Fairbairn made all five FGA and four XPA over the last two games.

  • Browns' Riley Patterson: Makes lone kick in loss

    Patterson converted his lone extra-point kick and did not attempt a field goal in Sunday's 21-7 loss to Kansas City in Week 15.

    The Browns made kicker Dustin Hopkins, who had missed six of his last nine FGA, inactive for the week and elevated Patterson from the practice squad. Following Sunday's game, head coach Kevin Stefanski said Hopkins would return as the kicker for Week 16, per Daniel Oyefusi of EPSN.com. The coach thought it was best for Hopkins to get a week off amid his struggles.

  • Jake Bates K | DET

    Lions' Jake Bates: Misses only FGA in loss

    Bates missed his only field-goal attempt while making all six of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 48-42 loss to the Bills.

    Bates missed a 52-yard field-goal try with less than a minute left in the first half, which proved to be his only attempt of the day. It was the second time in three games the kicker has missed a field goal after he started the year a perfect 16-for-16 through 11 games. Bates has now gone 21-for-23 on field goals while converting 54 of 55 PATs in 2024.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Fairly accurate in loss

    Sanders converted both of his field-goal tries but missed his only extra-point attempt during Miami's 20-12 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

    Sanders missed just his second PAT of the year during Sunday's loss, making him 20-for-22 on extra-point attempts across 14 appearances. In terms of field goals, Sanders is now a solid 28-for-32. Sanders has logged at least two-field goal attempts in 12 of 14 appearances this season, providing him with a solid fantasy floor heading into a tough Week 16 game against the 49ers at home.

  • Blake Grupe K | NO

    Saints' Blake Grupe: Hits two FGs in Week 15

    Grupe converted 2 of 2 field-goal attempts and was 1 for 1 on point-after tries during Sunday's 20-19 defeat against Washington.

    Grupe bounced back after going 0 for 2 on field-goal tries last week. The second-year kicker knocked through field goals on back-to-back drives in the fourth quarter, first hitting from 41 yards out before hitting again from 51 yards. Grupe has now converted 22 of 26 field-goal tries this season, and he's gone 14-for-16 on attempts of 40-plus yards. The Saints will next play versus the Packers on Monday, Dec. 23.

  • Eddy Pineiro K | CAR

    Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Perfect in Week 15

    Pineiro made both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Cowboys.

    The veteran kicker wasn't asked to do much in Sunday's loss, converting on both of his point-after tries while not attempting a field goal all game. Pineiro has now made 23 of his 24 extra-point attempts (95.83 percent) over 14 games this season. His next opportunity to score will come in Week 16, when the Panthers host the Cardinals.

  • Cam Little K | JAC

    Jaguars' Cam Little: Perfect performance in loss

    Little went 4-for-4 on field-goal tries while making his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 32-25 loss to the Jets.

    Little connected on a pair of chip-shot field goals from 28 yards and 23 yards in the first half before later adding a pair of 43-yarders in the second half. The four field-goal makes marked a new career high for the rookie and he's now gone 22-for-24 on field goals this season while hitting all 21 his extra-point tries.
