Bills' Tyler Bass: Makes all six kicks in blowout win
Bass made all three of his field-goal attempts as well as three PATs in the Bills' 36-10 win over the Ravens on Sunday.
Bass converted multiple long-range field goals for the Bills after the offense stalled several times due to drops. The kicker succeeded from 56 yards, 22 yards and 51 yards in the contest. Bass has converted all 16 of his field-goal attempts and is 21-for-23 on PATs through seven games this season.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Perfect versus Raiders
Bass converted all four of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries during Buffalo's win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Bass was dominant during the victory, as he was perfect on all of his kicks. The 29-year-old continues to have a strong season, as he has missed just one kick across his first six appearances.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Converts both FGAs in loss
Bass went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made both of his PATs during Sunday's 29-26 loss to the Patriots.
Bass made multiple field goals in a contest for the first time since Week 1, converting a 27-yard attempt in the second quarter before adding a 38-yarder in the fourth quarter. The kicker has yet to attempt a kick from 50-plus yards this season, but he has has gone a perfect 6-for-6 on field-goal tries over the first four contests of the year.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Makes all four kicks vs. Bolts
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.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Misses extra point in win
Bates hit five of his six extra-point attempts in Thursday's 41-31 win over the Lions.
When the kicker missed, Amazon Prime announcer Al Michaels joked that it was the only thing that had gone wrong for Buffalo on the night. To be fair to Bass, he did make field goals from 46, 34 and 33 yards and all three of his extra-point attempts in Week 1. He is also clearly still a fantasy-relevant option as the kicker for a high-flying offense led by Josh Allen and James Cook.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Makes three FGAs in win
Bass went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts while making all three of his PATs in Sunday's 36-31 win over the Texans.
Bass was perfect in Week 1, making field-goal tries from 46, 34 and 33 yards in the victory. The Bills figure to be one of the league's more prolific offenses again in 2026, and as a result, Bass will have a relatively safe floor from a fantasy perspective.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Busy in preseason opener
Bass went 3-for-4 on field-goal tries and made both his extra-point attempts in Buffalo's preseason win over the Panthers on Saturday.
Bass is back at full health after recovering from a pelvic injury that cost him the entire 2025 season. The Bills don't even have another kicker on the roster, so Bass will be the beneficiary of what should be a productive offense led by superstar Josh Allen, a new offensive-minded head coach in Joe Brady, and a new home stadium that could help minimize the impact of the wind, even if it lacks a roof.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Recovered from injury
Bass noted Thursday that he's fully healthy after recovering from a pelvic injury that cost him the entire 2025 season, Matt Parrino of Syracuse.com reports.
Bass acknowledged that the injury entailed a difficult recovery, noting "it was hard to get out of bed for a couple weeks," while adding "when I started kicking, we started with baby steps - 20-yarders, 10-yarders, and then working from there. It wasn't until midway through OTAs where I started feeling like myself again." Now that the 29-year-old is back on the field, he's positioned to reclaim his role as the Bills' top kicker while working behind the team's Josh Allen-led offense, a context that puts Bass back on the fantasy radar, provided he remains healthy.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Promising health outlook
General manager Brandon Beane said this week that Bass, who missed the entire 2025 campaign due to a pelvic injury that required surgery, is close to full health again. "If he's not 100 (percent), he's right at it," Beane said Monday as reported on the Bills' official site.
Bass has handled the Bills' kicking duties since being drafted in 2020, but the team was forced to go with Matt Prater and Michael Badgley in 2025. Bass never came close to suiting up due to a sports hernia that ultimately required surgery in November. Neither Prater nor Badgley is with the team any longer, so it looks like the Bills are comfortable with Bass being their main guy next season. He could prove to be a sleeper if he gets forgotten about due to his lack of 2025 stats, as well as the fact that the Bills have a new offensively minded head coach in Joe Brady to boost their Josh Allen-led attack.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Takes pay cut for 2026
Bass (pelvis) agreed to a contract restructure with the Bills on Tuesday, Sal Maiorana of Democrat and Chronicle reports.
Bass, who missed Buffalo's entire 2025 campaign due to a pelvic injury that required surgery, was set to make $4.9 million during the 2026 season. However, he's since agreed to a contract restructure that saves the Bills roughly $1.92 million in cap space for next year. Bass is set to remain Buffalo's top placekicker for 2026, having converted 84.5 percent of his career field-goal attempts, including 69.6 percent from 50-plus yards, since entering the league in 2020.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Done for season
Coach Sean McDermott revealed Monday that Bass (left hip/groin) underwent surgery last week and will be sidelined for the rest of the season, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
The Bills placed Bass on IR back on Sept. 5, and Matt Prater has handled the team's kicking duties since then. Bass, who is under contract with Buffalo through 2027, thus will turn his focus to rehabbing his injury with an eye toward being ready ahead of next season.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Practice window not opening yet
Bills coach Sean McDermott said Thursday that Bass (left hip/groin) is among players on IR who will not have their practice windows opened yet, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
McDermott said, "We'll see -- going off the info from the medical team," when asked whether Bass will play this season, per Maddy Glab of the team's official site, though he did acknowledge that the kicker is trending in the right direction. Bass' 21-day practice window was eligible to open as early as Week 5, but at this stage a timetable for him to retake the field remains uncertain. Fill-in kicker Matt Prater has been reliable through five regular-season appearances, having converted 10 of 11 field-goal tries and all 15 of his extra-point attempts, so Buffalo has little reason to rush Bass back to action.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Uncertain for Week 6
Bills coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that the team has not yet decided whether Bass (left hip/groin), who remains on IR, could return for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Alec White of the team's official site reports.
Bass was eligible to have his 21-day practice window opened as early as last week, but Buffalo has yet to instigate such a transaction. While the Bills haven't yet ruled Bass out for Week 6, his availability will look increasingly unlikely the longer he remains off the practice field. Bass hasn't yet suited up for regular-season action this year, and until he's fully healthy Matt Prater figures to continue operating as Buffalo's starting kicker.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Recovering well
Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Wednesday that Bass (left hip/groin) is moving in the right direction, but the Bills remain unsure about when he will return from injured reserve, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports.
Buffalo will be without its top place kicker for at least one more week, as Bass was forced to miss the team's first four games due to his placement on IR in early September. It's unclear whether the Georgia Southern product will be available following the Bills' Week 4 contest against the Saints, but Matt Prater is expected to assume the team's kicking duties until Bass returns to full health.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Moves to injured reserve
The Bills placed Bass (left hip/groin) on injured reserve Friday.
Bass dealt with what at the time was termed a pelvic injury in the early days of training camp but still was able to suit up in Buffalo's preseason finale, connecting on three of four field-goal attempts and both point-after tries. He then mustered just one limited practice during Week 1 prep due to left hip and groin concerns before the team made the decision to shut him down for at least the first four games of the season. The Bills will need to elevate Matt Prater from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday night's showdown with the Ravens.
