  • Joshua Karty K | ARI

    Rams' Joshua Karty: Quiet day in victory

    Karty connected on all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 21-14 win against the Saints.

    The rookie's grasp on the Rams' kicking role had weakened after a multi-week slump, and while his performance on Sunday didn't do much to move the needle towards restoring that confidence, a misfire on any of his three extra-point attempts would have been the fourth straight week that Karty would've recorded a missed kick. A tough matchup with the Bills in Week 14 will be Karty's next opportunity to produce.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Makes three field goals in win

    Boswell made three of four field-goal attempts while converting all five of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 44-38 win over the Bengals.

    Boswell has now missed kicks in back-to-back weeks, but Sunday's miss against Cincinnati came on a blocked kick early in the third quarter. However, the 33-year-old still saw plenty of work in Pittsburgh's high-scoring win, and he's now converted 34 of 37 field-goal attempts while making all 26 of his extra-point tries this season.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Reliable in road win

    Elliott made his only field-goal try and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 24-19 win at Baltimore.

    Elliott's only field goal of the day, which put the Eagles ahead 24-12 late in the fourth quarter, was a 35-yarder, only a bit longer than an extra point. He still hasn't missed a field goal from within 39 yards this season and profiles as a relatively safe fantasy option when Philadelphia hosts the Panthers' weak defense in Week 14.

  • Cam Little K | JAC

    Jaguars' Cam Little: Knocks two field goals in loss

    Little made two of his three field-goal tries during Sunday's 23-20 loss versus the Texans.

    Little did not get to kick any extra-point attempts in Week 13, as Jacksonville's first touchdown of the day in the fourth quarter only cut Houston's lead to 23-12. His miss came from 55 yards out earlier in the fourth quarter, and both of his made field goals Sunday were short kicks. He doesn't profile as a great fantasy option heading into a Week 14 matchup at Tennessee.

  • Jets' Anders Carlson: Minimal volume in loss

    Carlson didn't attempt a field goal and made one of two PAT attempts in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks.

    Carlson's PAT attempt was blocked after the Jets' first touchdown, so the Jets went for two after one of their other two scores. He also recovered a fumble by Seahawks kickoff return man Laviska Shenault. Greg Zuerlein (knee) is eligible to come off IR in Week 14 against the Dolphins, but if the veteran isn't ready to return, then Carlson would continue to kick for the Jets.

  • Packers' Brandon McManus: Perfect in Week 13

    McManus made all three of his field-goal tries and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during Thursday's 30-17 win versus the Dolphins.

    McManus' first field goal of the day was a 46-yarder with time expiring in the first half to give Green Bay a 24-3 lead. He has now gone three straight games without a missed kick and will be trying to keep that streak alive when the Packers travel to take on Detroit's resilient defense in Week 14.

  • Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Reliable vs. division rival

    Aubrey made both of his two field-goal tries and all three of his extra-point attempts during Thursday's 27-20 win versus the Giants.

    Aubrey's longest field goal in Week 13 came from 33 yards out, the same length as an extra point. Even so, he appears to be back in rhythm after missing kicks in each of Dallas' prior two games. He'll be looking to keep it going when the Cowboys play host to the Bengals' dodgy defense in Week 14.

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Misses only field-goal try Sunday

    Bass missed his only field-goal attempt but made all five of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 35-10 win versus the 49ers.

    Over a backdrop of freezing temperatures and swirling snow, field goals proved to be a relatively unappealing option Sunday. Bass missed his only attempt, a 49-yarder, in the fourth quarter with the game already well in hand for Buffalo. He'll be kicking indoors in Week 14 against the Rams.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Back on form

    Fairbairn converted three of three field-goal attempts and two of two extra-point kicks in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Jaguars in Week 13.

    One week after missing a field goal that cost the Texans, Fairbairn was back to his normal self. He twice bailed out the offense, which scored one touchdown in three red-zone trips. Fairbairn also added another one from long distance, a 53-yarder early in the second quarter to open the game's scoring. He ranks second in the league among kickers with 122 points behind the Steelers' Chris Boswell (128).

  • Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Rough outing in loss

    Pineiro converted on three of his five field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Buccaneers.

    Pineiro hadn't missed a kick since the Panthers' Week 5 loss to the Bears before missing field goals of 38 and 45 yards in the first half of Sunday's overtime loss. The third-year Panther has now converted on 86.4 percent of his field-goal attempts (19 of 22) this season while remaining perfect on point-after tries (20 of 20). He'll look to bounce back from a poor Week 13 performance next Sunday when the Eagles host the Panthers.
