  • Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Another unblemished day Sunday

    McLaughlin connected on field-goal attempts of 30 and 26 yards and also made both extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

    McLaughlin managed another productive afternoon despite the fact the Buccaneers offense was once again operating very short-handed at receiver. The veteran kicker's opportunities continue to be mostly unencumbered by the personnel losses, as Sunday marked McLaughlin's fourth consecutive game with four kicking opportunities despite the absences of Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) and Mike Evans (hamstring) for the last three contests, and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) for the most recent two.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Makes one of two FG tries in return

    Gano went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and converted both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's Week 10 loss to Carolina in Germany.

    Gano returned to action for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 2. The veteran kicker's first chance at putting up points went awry, as he drove a 43-yard field-goal try wide right in the second quarter. Gano managed to bounce back from there, converting both of his extra-point attempts before drilling a clutch 42-yard field goal in the final 10 seconds of the fourth period to send the game into overtime. Despite his early miss Sunday, Gano seems to be recovered from the hamstring issue, and he'll almost certainly be the Giants' placekicker against Tampa Bay in Week 12 following New York's Week 11 bye.

  • Commanders' Austin Seibert: Still nursing hip issue

    Seibert (hip) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation.

    Seibert was sidelined for the Commanders' Week 10 loss to the Steelers after likely tweaking his hip the week prior, and Monday's estimated DNP suggests he could be in jeopardy of missing additional time. If the 27-year-old is unable to practice in at least a limited fashion Tuesday or Wednesday, Zane Gonzalez will likely serve as Washington's top kicker again in Week 11's matchup against the Eagles on Thursday night.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYG

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Misses three kicks in rough outing

    Koo missed three of four field-goal attempts but made both extra-point tries during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.

    Koo's first field goal missed wide left from 53 yards out and his last attempt from 46 yards hit the right upright. He's now 3-for-9 from beyond 40 yards over his last six games. Koo also had a 35-yarder blocked Sunday. The veteran kicker has certainly had some heroics in his career, including a career-long 58-yard, game-winning field goal against the Saints in Week 4, but he's currently in a funk after missing three field goals in a three-point loss to a divisional foe.

  • Jake Moody K | WAS

    49ers' Jake Moody: Innaccurate in return

    Moody (ankle) went 3-for-6 on field-goal attempts while converting both of his point-after tries in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.

    Moody returned from an ankle injury that cost him three weeks of game action, but the results were mixed upon returning Sunday. The 2023 third-round pick wound up missing three field-goal attempts (44, 49 and 50 yards) before nailing his sixth and final attempt for the win. Moody went 13-for-14 on FGA in five games prior to getting injured, so perhaps Sunday's poor showing was simply the kicker shaking off the rust from a long layoff. Barring a rash roster move, Moody should remain kicking for San Francisco in a crucial matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday.

  • Jake Bates K | DET

    Lions' Jake Bates: Nails clutch kicks in win

    Bates went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Texans.

    Bates was limited to two PATs entering the fourth quarter, but that's when he left his mark in Week 10. The 25-year-old nailed a 58-yard field goal with 5:06 left in the game, tying it up at 23-23. He later walked it off with a game-winning 52-yarder as time expired. Through nine games in 2024, Bates is a perfect 14-for-14 on field-goal tries, including three makes from 50-plus, while also going 32-for-33 on PATs.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Perfect on extra-point tries

    Boswell didn't have any field-goal attempts but converted all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders.

    Boswell didn't record a field-goal attempt for the first time this season, but he matched his season-high mark of four extra-point tries as the Steelers' offense found success following the Week 9 bye. The 33-year-old has still been one of the most efficient kickers in the league over the first half of the season, converting 23 of 24 field-goal attempts while making all 20 of his extra-point tries.

  • Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Supplies only points in rout

    Aubrey connected on both his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Eagles.

    It was a brutal day for the Dallas offense without Dak Prescott (hamstring) under center, and Aubrey produced the team's only points with a couple of first-half FGs, the longest of which went for 46 yards. Prescott could be headed for season-ending surgery, so Aubrey's ceiling suddenly looks a lot lower ahead of a Week 11 tilt against the Texans, and potentially for the rest of 2024.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Perfect in blowout win

    Elliott converted on both of his two field-goal attempts and made all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 34-6 win at Dallas.

    Elliott's longest field-goal attempt in Week 10 came from 39 yards out early in the fourth quarter to put the Eagles up 31-6. He's been automatic on short kicks this season and gets plenty of chances with one of the league's top offensive units, so he projects as a solid fantasy play when Philadelphia hosts the Commanders in Week 11.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Titans' Nick Folk: Misses first kick of season

    Folk converted one of his two field-goal tries and made both of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 27-17 loss against the Chargers.

    Folk had made all 11 of his field-goal tries in his first eight games of the season, but he pushed a 49-yard attempt wide right in the second quarter of Sunday's contest. Unless Tennessee turns things around in a major way offensively during the home stretch of the year, Folk doesn't figure to be the most reliable fantasy option over that span.
