  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Titans' Nick Folk: Another quiet day

    Folk made his only field-goal attempt and only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Bills.

    The story has been the same for Folk throughout the season, as he's been very accurate but also had limited opportunity due to the state of Tennessee's offense. He has yet to miss a kick this season, but he has attempted multiple field goals in only one of six contests.

  • 49ers' Anders Carlson: Moves back to practice squad

    Carlson reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday.

    Carlson is getting a second chance in the NFL due to multiple injuries to kickers in San Francisco. While he netted both field-goal attempts (55 and 24 yards) during Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, he wasn't without his foibles, missing his only point-after try. With Matthew Wright (shoulder) on injured reserve and with head coach Kyle Shanahan telling Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News on Monday that Jake Moody (ankle) won't be available to return Week 8 against the Cowboys, Carlson again will serve as the 49ers' placekicker this coming weekend.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Drills 59-yarder

    Myers connected on two field-goal attempts and all four extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-14 win over the Falcons.

    Myers drilled a 38-yarder on the opening drive and later hit a season-long 59-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. The veteran kicker has now hit six of nine field-goal tries from beyond 40 yards (67 percent) while making all 19 of his extra-point attempts.

  • Jake Moody K | WAS

    49ers' Jake Moody: Won't play Week 8

    Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Moody (ankle) won't play in next Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    The 49ers have a Week 9 bye, so Moody will get another two weeks to heal from his right ankle sprain. Anders Carlson will again kick for San Francisco after he made both of his field-goal attempts (from 55 and 24 yards) against Kansas City. Carlson, however, missed his one extra-point try.

  • 49ers' Anders Carlson: Kicks two FGs on Sunday

    Carlson went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and missed his only point-after try in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs.

    Carlson made his debut for the 49ers on Sunday and made kicks from 24 and 55 yards out. The former Packers placekicker missed his only PAT, and it was a so-so debut from a fantasy standpoint. If Jake Moody (ankle) is unable to suit up for Sunday's tilt against the Cowboys, Carlson would likely earn another start with San Francisco.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: No field goals required in blowout

    Elliott made all four extra-point tries but didn't attempt any field goals in Sunday's 28-3 win over the Giants.

    The Eagles ran all over the Giants, but that success didn't translate to much fantasy value for their kicker. Elliott has only attempted a total of eight field goals through six games this season, making six. Both marks rank 31st among all kickers.

  • Joshua Karty K | LAR

    Rams' Joshua Karty: Struggles in victory

    Karty missed his only field-goal attempt and made two of three PAT attempts during Sunday's 20-15 victory against the Raiders.

    The rookie kicker missed an extra point for the second consecutive game, and sent a 35-yard field-goal attempt into the left upright in the fourth quarter, a field goal that was critical because it would have pushed the Rams into a two-possession lead over the Raiders. Karty had been a reliable kicker through the Rams' first four games, but a trio of misses in his last two games will be something to monitor going forward, with a tough task at hand in Week 8 against one of the top teams in the NFC in the Vikings.

  • Vikings' Will Reichard: Stays busy in loss

    Reichard made both extra-point tries and all three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Lions.

    Reichard remained flawless in Week 7, making field goals from 57, 42 and 48 yards out in the process. The rookie kicker is now 12-for-12 on FGAs and 18-for-18 on PATs this season, including an impressive 4-for-4 on kicks of 50-plus yards. Reichard and the Vikings will travel to Los Angeles next for a Thursday tilt with the Rams.

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Perfect in easy win

    Bass made both of his two field-goal tries and converted all four of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 34-10 win versus the Titans.

    The longest field goal Bass made in Week 7 (30 yards) was actually shorter than an extra point, so his share of Buffalo's points came with relative ease. He's been mostly solid so far this season and should have a high fantasy floor as long as the Bills' offense keeps putting up points in bunches.

  • Packers' Brandon McManus: Makes game-winning kick

    McManus made all three extra points he attempted and a game-winning 45-yard field goal as time expired in Sunday's 24-22 victory over the Texans.

    McManus replaced Brayden Narveson as Green Bay's kicker last week, and it took him no time at all to make an impact for his new team. The Packers have been seeking consistency at the kicker spot for a while, so he figures to hold down the job for a team that ranks seventh in the league at 26.6 points per game with two games to go in Week 7.
