Patterson made his only field-goal attempt and extra-point try during Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs.

Patterson finished off the Dolphins' first possession of the second half, converting a 37-yard field-goal try to narrow the deficit to 14-10. He didn't attempt another field goal during the contest, making it the first game this year during which he did not have multiple field-goal tries. Through three games, the kicker has gone 5-for-7 on field-goal attempts, including 0-for-1 from 50-plus yards, and he may not get many opportunities when Miami squares off with Minnesota's impressive defense in Week 4.

Borregales converted two of three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 35-6 loss to the Jaguars.

Borregales accounted for New England's scoring with 35- and 40-yard field goals but missed one from 38 yards in the third quarter. The second-year kicked has had a bit of a shaky start to the 2026 season, making just five of seven field-goal tries while going 3-for-3 on extra points. Kicking in an offense that is struggling to score points, Borregales isn't a recommended fantasy kicker ahead of next Sunday's date with the Bills.

Szmyt made both of his field-goal attempts and his sole PAT in the Browns' 21-18 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Szmyt made field goals from 45 yards and 48 yards during the contest, with the 45-yarder coming in the fourth quarter to take a 13-12 lead over the Panthers. The kicker moves to a perfect 6-of-6 on field goals and 4-of-4 on PATs through three regular-season games in 2026.

Mevis went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and made both of his PATs during Sunday night's 30-26 loss to the Broncos.

Mevis only had one field-goal try through two weeks, which he missed, but he was far more busy in Week 3. The kicker made field goals from 36, 35 and 40 yards in the second quarter before later adding a 48-yard make in the fourth quarter. Mevis has yet to attempt a field goal from 50-plus yards this season, and he only had one such attempt in 2025, so he doesn't have the same ceiling as other kickers from a fantasy perspective.

Bass made his lone field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 24-16 win over the Chargers.

The Bills finally got on the scoreboard at the 6:02 mark of the second quarter on a 28-yard, chip-shot field goal by Bass, with the veteran kicker making each of his next three extra-point attempts. He's made all four of his field-goal attempts (all within 50 yards) and has gone 11-for-12 on extra-point tries through three regular-season games, and his scoring floor should be elevated week-to-week as long as Josh Allen is running the Bills' offense. Buffalo wraps up its three-game home stand in a Week 4 AFC East showdown against New England.

McMillan aggravated the left knee injury he dealt with during training camp, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

McMillan departed Sunday's Week 3 loss to Minnesota after logging just two offensive snaps. He underwent an MRI on Monday, the results of which reportedly indicated that the wideout is dealing with an aggravation of the issue he picked up during camp in early August rather than a new injury. However, it's not yet clear how serious McMillan's injury is or how much more time, if any, he's slated to potentially miss. The Buccaneers' practice reports throughout this week should provide more clarity about McMillan's likelihood of suiting up Sunday versus Green Bay.

The Giants waived Haener on Monday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

The Giants signed Haener from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday in anticipation of Sunday's game against the Titans. The quarterback was utilized as a backup to Jameis Winston due to the injury to Jaxson Dart (knee). The team traded with the Vikings for quarterback J.J. McCarthy on Monday, meaning Haener's spot on the active roster has been filled by a younger option. If the quarterback clears waivers, there is a decent chance he ends up back with the Giants on the practice squad.

Head coach Dave Canales expressed confidence Monday that Lloyd (calf) would be back at practice ahead of the Panthers' Week 4 home game against the Lions, Mike Kaye of ESPN.com reports.

A calf injury prevented Lloyd from playing in the Panthers' 21-18 loss to the Browns on Sunday, but the fifth-year pro is trending toward returning for Week 4. Wednesday's injury report will provide more clarity on Lloyd's status, and he would avoid an injury designation entirely with a full practice over the coming days.

McKee (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the team's emergency third quarterback Monday night against the Bears.

McKee will operate as the team's No. 3 QB for the third straight week to open the regular season. The 26-year-old will only be eligible to enter the contest if both starter Jalen Hurts and top backup Andy Dalton sustain injuries.

Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said Monday that Thompson (hamstring) is expected to miss four-plus weeks, Patrik Walker of the team's official site reports.

Thompson looks like a candidate for injured reserve after he went down with a hamstring injury in the second quarter of Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Ravens in Rio de Janeiro. The loss of Thompson is yet another hit to the Cowboys' safety group, as Malik Hooker (forearm) has missed the last two games, and P.J. Locke (foot) was moved to IR on Saturday. Before sustaining the injury, Thompson had played every defensive snap through the Cowboys' first nine-plus quarters of the season, logging 17 tackles in the process.
