Pineiro did not have any field-goal tries but converted on all five of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 35-13 win versus the Dolphins.

In a game where Miami's defense was picked apart by quarterback Brock Purdy, Pineiro's services were barely needed. San Francisco is off to a scorching start in 2026, and there's not much reason to think the Cardinals defense will be the one to slow the momentum Week 3.

Santos made one of his two field-goal attempts in the Bears' 9-3 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Santos converted a 50-yard field-goal attempt on the Bears' first drive of the game, resulting in the team's only points throughout the contest. The kicker had a chance to tie the game at six points in the fourth quarter, but the 23-yard attempt was blocked by Isaiah Rodgers. Santos has made two of his three field goals this season and all eight of his PATs through two weeks.

Spears turned seven carries into 41 yards and brought in both of his targets for 29 yards during the Titans' 24-20 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Spears was on the field for only 19 of the Titans' 53 offensive snaps (35.8 percent) and saw noticeably less playing time than lead back Tony Pollard (29 snaps). That said, Spears managed to accumulate 70 yards on nine touches, his most yards in a game since Week 16 of the 2025 season against the Chiefs (105). The fourth-year pro also helped the Titans take the lead late with a 27-yard carry on third-and-22, ultimately leading to a 33-yard field goal from Joey Slye four plays later. The Titans will hit the road for the first time this season Week 3 against the Giants.

Patterson converted two of his three field-goal attempts and his sole extra-point try during the Dolphins' 35-13 loss to the 49ers.

Patterson appears to be achieving the wrong kind of consistency. The kicker once again converted 67 percent of his field-goal attempts, missing one of his three kicks, as he did in the Dolphins' Week 1 loss to the Raiders. Patterson moves to 4-for-6 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on PATs through two games.

Gay made his sole field-goal attempt and converted three PATs in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers.

Gay made a 59-yard field goal at the end of the first half of Sunday's game to break the Raiders' 7-7 tie with the Chargers. The kicker remains perfect through two weeks, sitting at 3-for-3 on field goals and 6-for-6 on PATs.

Elliott converted his only field-goal attempt and made all three of his PATs in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Titans.

Elliott made the most of his lone field-goal try of the day, making a 58-yarder in the third quarter. The kicker hasn't been leaned on often so far this year, but he has made both of his field-goal tries, and Sunday's 58-yard make is rather inspiring after Elliott combined to make five of 15 attempts from 50-plus yards over the last two seasons.

Stevens made two of his three field-goal attempts while converting both PATs in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Cowboys.

Stevens missed a 51-yard field-goal try late in the third quarter of Sunday's contest. The kicker has now missed in consecutive games, moving to 3-for-5 on field-goal attempts over the first two games of the season. Both misses for the 22-year-old are from farther than 50 yards, raising questions about the second-year player's leg strength.

Lemon caught his lone target for 14 yards while turning one carry into minus-5 yards during the Eagles' 24-20 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Lemon recorded minus-5 receiving yards on three catches during his NFL debut against the Commanders in Week 1. He was at least able to stay in the positive against Tennessee with a 14-yard catch on the last play of the third quarter, which moved the chains on third-and-8 and led to a two-yard touchdown run by Tank Bigsby four plays later. Lemon saw his workload in training camp severely limited due to a hamstring injury, so it may take a few weeks for the rookie first-rounder to ramp up his production. That said, with Dallas Goedert set to miss multiple weeks due to a sprained MCL, Lemon could operate in an elevated role in the passing game, starting with the Eagles' Week 3 road tilt against the Bears on Monday, Sept. 28.

McMillan didn't record any targets and played just seven of Tampa Bay's 65 offensive snaps in Sunday's Week 2 loss to Cleveland.

The good news is that McMillan was able to suit up after dealing with a knee injury that caused him to be inactive Week 1 against Cincinnati. It was anticipated that the 24-year-old would be on a snap count upon his return, and that's exactly how things played out, with McMillan's meager seven offensive snaps trailing all of fellow wideouts Emeka Egbuka (56), Chris Godwin (56), Ted Hurst (48) and Tez Johnson (19). McMillan figures to gradually ramp up his playing time in the weeks to come, though he could again be held back enough Week 3 versus Minnesota to make him a poor option in fantasy.

Lutz made both of his field-goal attempts and both PATs in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Jaguars.

Lutz made kicks from 20 yards and 45 yards out as the Broncos won a defensive battle. The kicker's consistency put eight points on the board, securing the win over a Jaguars team that missed a 54-yard field goal in the fourth quarter.
