Brandon Aubrey K | DAL
Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Expected to be available Sunday
Aubrey won't practice Thursday for the second straight day while away on jury duty, but head coach Mike McCarthy said that the Cowboys "have a plan to make sure he's ready to go" for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Though the organization was willing to pursue an exemption that would allow Aubrey to bypass jury duty, the 29-year-old was reportedly insistent on fulfilling his civic responsibility after he was selected to be part of a 12-person jury for a felony assault case in Tarrant County, Texas. Per Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Cowboys have an expectation that the judge overseeing the assault case will be willing to accommodate the kicker's schedule, which will allow him to potentially practice Friday and play Sunday even if the case isn't resolved by then. Aubrey has been one of the top fantasy kickers this season, converting all nine of his extra-point tries and 17 of 19 field-goal attempts, which includes an 8-for-9 mark from 50-plus yards.

Chase McLaughlin K | TB
Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Misfires on 55-yard attempt
McLaughlin converted one of his two field-goal attempts and knocked down both of his point-after tries in Monday's 41-31 loss to the Ravens.
McLaughlin had gone 11-for-11 on field-goal tries through the Buccaneers' first six games, but he saw his streak of perfection come to an end midway through the third quarter of Monday's contest. He nearly came through with his sixth kick of the season of more than 50 yards, but his 55-yard attempt clanked off the right upright. While being attached to a high-powered Tampa Bay offense, McLaughlin has recorded at least nine points in four of the first seven games, but his scoring opportunities could become more limited over the next few games after the Buccaneers lost their top two receivers (Mike Evans and Chris Godwin) to injuries in Monday's loss.

Austin Seibert K | WAS
Commanders' Austin Seibert: Fills up scoreboard vs. Panthers
Seibert made all four of his field-goal tries and converted all four of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 40-7 win versus Carolina.
Seibert has now made multiple field goals in five of his six games in 2024, and Week 7 was actually his second consecutive game attempting four field goals. Washington has scored as many points through seven weeks as any team in the league (31.1 per game), and Seibert has made as many field goals as any other kicker (19).

Justin Tucker K | BAL
Ravens' Justin Tucker: Delivers 11-point performance
Tucker converted both of his field-goal tries and went 5-for-5 on extra-point attempts in Monday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.
Tucker was perfect for the fourth week in a row and rode the coattails of a potent Baltimore offense en route to his third straight double-digit scoring performance. His second field goal of the night was a 52-yarder, his second-longest kick of the season.

Cam Little K | JAC
Jaguars' Cam Little: Does job in lopsided win
Little made his only field-goal try and converted all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 32-16 win against New England.
Little's field goal in the middle of the third quarter to put the Jaguars up 25-10 came from just 21 yards out, shorter than an extra point. That said, he has now made 11 of his 12 field-goal tries this season and all 14 of his extra-point attempts, so he could have the makings of an elite fantasy asset if Jacksonville can somehow pick up its lethargic offensive play.

Younghoe Koo K | NYG
Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Misses lone FG attempt
Koo made both extra-point tries but missed his lone field-goal attempt during Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Seahawks.
Koo's lone field-goal attempt came from 54 yards out, and he's now 5-for-7 from beyond 50 this season. This was the first time the Falcons' offense failed to score at least 20 points since Week 3 against the Chiefs, but they should be able to move the ball against the Buccaneers' porous defense in Week 8, making Koo a bounce-back candidate.

Chad Ryland K | ARI
Cardinals' Chad Ryland: Nails game-winner vs. Chargers
Ryland converted his only field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries during Monday's 17-15 win over the Chargers.
Ryland's lone field-goal attempt came on the Cardinals' final play of the night, a 32-yarder and his second game-winner of the regular season so far. While filling in for Matt Prater (knee) in Arizona's last three games, Ryland has gone 6-for-7 on field goals and converted all four of his PATs. Prater won't be eligible to come off IR until Week 12 versus Seattle, at the earliest, leaving Ryland in line to start Sunday against the Dolphins and beyond.

Cameron Dicker K | LAC
Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Scores 15 points in loss
Dicker converted all five of his field-goal attempts during Monday's 17-15 loss to the Cardinals.
Dicker had a career performance in Arizona, with Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles offense struggling consistently. He ultimately scored every point for the Chargers, and the 40-yarder Dicker nailed with 1:55 remaining in the fourth quarter would've been enough to put the team ahead, had the defense held. He'll look to carry some positive momentum into Sunday's home game against the Saints.

Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Racks up 15 points in loss
Carlson converted all five of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams.
Carlson was the only Raider to put points on the board in this contest, rebounding from a slow Week 6 outing in which he attempted just one extra point all game against the Steelers. A tough test awaits for this Las Vegas offense with Gardner Minshew at the helm versus the Chiefs in Week 8, but Carlson remains steady when given the opportunity to boot it through the uprights.

Greg Joseph K | LV
Giants' Greg Joseph: Makes lone kick Week 7
Joseph converted his only field-goal try and did not attempt an extra point Sunday in a loss to the Eagles.
Joseph missed a pair of field-goal tries Week 6 but was retained for Week 7 with Graham Gano (hamstring) not yet ready to return. New York's offense was woeful against Philadelphia, so Joseph didn't get much of a chance to redeem himself, though he did score the team's only points on a 38-yard field goal just before halftime. Joseph is now a tolerable 9-for-12 on field-goal attempts on the campaign, but he'll likely give way to Gano as soon as the latter is able to return, potentially as soon as Week 8 against Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football.
