Will Reichard K | MIN
Vikings' Will Reichard: Bound for IR
The Vikings are expected to place Reichard (quadricep) on injured reserve Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Reichard has been diagnosed with a strained right quad, an injury that may have played a part in his two missed field-goal attempts during Sunday's 21-13 win over the Colts. The rookie out of Alabama had otherwise been perfect through the first nine weeks of the season, connecting on each of his other 14 field-goal tries and going 23-for-23 on extra-point attempts. Minnesota will turn to John Parker Romo as their kicker beginning with Sunday's game in Jacksonville. Reichard will have to miss at least four games once he's formally placed on IR.

Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Zero field-goal attempts Week 9
Koo didn't attempt a field goal but made all three extra-point tries during Sunday's 27-21 win over the Cowboys.
For the first time this season, Koo didn't attempt a field goal. He also lost out on a fourth extra-point try, as the Falcons went for two after a fourth-quarter touchdown, which put them up 27-13. After a perfect start to the season, Koo is 7-for-11 on field-goal attempts over the past five weeks, with all his misses coming from beyond 40 yards. His inconsistency from deep is concerning, but the Falcons' offense has been impressive, so Koo should get plenty of chances to bounce back.

Harrison Butker K | KC
Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Makes only field-goal attempt
Butker made his only field-goal try and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during Monday's 30-24 overtime win versus the Buccaneers.
Butker opened up the scoring Monday with a 40-yard field goal late in the first quarter, but Kansas City's next four scores came in the form of touchdowns. Despite the mostly uneventful game in Week 9, he's still an accurate kicker playing behind a good offense, so he'll remain a quality fantasy option in Week 10 versus the Broncos.

Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Six-point effort Sunday
Carlson converted his only field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Bengals.
Carlson hasn't missed a field-goal attempt since Week 3, and an uninspiring Raiders offense that will likely feature either Gardner Minshew or Desmond Ridder at the helm following a Week 10 bye could struggle to score touchdowns against the Dolphins in Week 11.

Nick Folk K | NYJ
Titans' Nick Folk: Provides game-winning kick
Folk made both of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win against the Patriots.
Folk attempted multiple field goals in a game for the first time since Week 4 and converted from 21 and 25 yards away. He has yet to miss a kick on the season, though the poor Tennessee offense has limited his opportunity.

Jason Myers K | SEA
Seahawks' Jason Myers: Costly blocked kick
Myers made two of three extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-20 overtime loss to the Rams.
Myers had an extra point blocked in the second quarter, marking his first missed extra point since the 2022 season. He'll look to get back on track after the Seahawks' bye week when Seattle faces the 49ers in Week 11.

Jake Elliott K | PHI
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Third miss this season
Elliott made his lone extra-point in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Jaguars but missed one of his two field-goal attempts.
Elliott was good from 43 yards in the second quarter but hit the right upright from 57 yards with 2:16 remaining in the game. The Eagles went for two after three of their four touchdowns, denying Elliott the chance at a big fantasy day despite putting up plenty of points. Elliott has now missed three of his 13 field-goal attempts this season after missing just two of 32 last year, but all of his misses have been from beyond 50 yards.

Jude McAtamney K | NYG
Giants' Jude McAtamney: Heads back to practice squad
McAtamney reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday.
With two Giants place kickers on injured reserve, McAtamney got the call Sunday against the Commanders, connecting on his only field-goal attempt from 31 yards and his sole point-after try. Greg Joseph (abdomen) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, but Graham Gano (hamstring) is a candidate to return to action at any point. If Gano is designated for return this week, McAtamney's time as the team's kicker may be contained to one game. Until that happens, though, McAtamney could get another chance to kck this coming Sunday versus the Panthers.

Joshua Karty K | LAR
Rams' Joshua Karty: Perfect performance Sunday
Karty connected on both of his field-goal attempts and converted both of his extra point-tries during Sunday's 26-20 overtime victory against the Seahawks.
Karty's first FG attempt since Week 7 was a successful 38-yard attempt, and he tacked on a 21-yard chip shot in the third quarter. The rookie kicker was also perfect on extra points and will look to carry his momentum of two straight weeks of perfect accuracy against the Dolphins in Week 10.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Broncos' Wil Lutz: One field-goal attempt in loss
Lutz made his lone field-goal attempt and converted his only extra-point try in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Ravens.
Lutz accounted for four of Denver's 10 points Sunday, as the veteran kicker was seldomly called upon on a day in which the Broncos struggled to move the ball efficiently. The 30-year-old continued his perfect streak on kicks, connecting on a 37-yard field goal late in the second quarter. Lutz now boasts a 95 percent field-goal success rate heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Chiefs.
