Romo went 3-for-4 on field-goal tries while making both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 23-22 win over the Cardinals.

Romo converted from 44 yards, 55 yards and 31 yards in the victory, with his lone miss coming in the third quarter on a 43-yard try. The kicker has now made 11 out of 12 field-goal attempts since taking over as the team's kicker in Week 10 against the Jaguars. With Will Reichard (quadricep) eligible to return from injured reserve in Week 14, it's unclear if Romo will remain on the active roster for at least one more game.

Dicker made all three of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Falcons.

Dicker made three field goals in the first half, connecting from 45 yards, 51 yards and 34 yards against Atlanta. The kicker has now converted at least two field goals in seven of the last eight games, becoming a rather consistent fantasy asset. Dicker has now gone 27-for-29 on field-goal tries while making 21 of 24 extra-point attempts in 2024.

Slye went 3-for-5 on field-goal tries while making his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Colts.

Slye began his day with three straight field-goal makes from 35 yards, 31 yards and 54 yards versus Indianapolis. He then missed a chip-shot 25-yarder on the team's final possession of the first half before later missing a nearly impossible 68-yard attempt to end the game. The kicker has now made 22 of 28 field-goal tries while going 17-for-18 on PATs in 2024.

Ryland connected on five of six field-goal attempts and his sole point-after try during Sunday's 23-22 loss at Minnesota.

The Cardinals offense continually stalled in the red zone, affording Ryland successful FGAs from 32, 31, 24, 40 and 23 yards. His only miss, a 45-yard attempt early in the second quarter, ultimately ended up being the difference in the one-point defeat, but Sunday's 16-point outing marked his most productive of the campaign by a large margin (his previous high in a game was 10 points back in Week 5 at San Francisco). Matt Prater, Arizona's primary kicker, hasn't made any notable progress as he resides on injured reserve due to a left knee injury, so Ryland is lined up to continue in his current role next Sunday against the Seahawks.

Gay converted his only field-goal attempt while going 2-for-2 on PATs in Sunday's 25-24 win over the Patriots.

Gay made a chip-shot 25-yard field goal in the third quarter, giving Indianapolis a 17-16 advantage at that point. It was the first contest since Week 3 that Gay did not make multiple field goals, ending a nine-game streak for the kicker. Gay has now gone 22-for-25 on field-goal tries while making all 22 of his extra-point attempts in 2024.

Patterson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Patterson was added to the Falcons' practice squad Friday -- then subsequently elevated to the active roster Saturday -- to provide insurance for Atlanta in case Younghoe Koo wasn't able to play Sunday due to a hip injury. Koo is active for Sunday's contest, so Patterson's services are not needed.

Koo (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Despite drawing a questionable tag, Koo was expected to suit up Sunday after logging a full practice Friday. After going 2-for-7 on field-goal attempts from Weeks 7-10, Koo bounced back with a perfect outing against Denver in Week 11 before Atlanta's Week 12 bye. It's been a mixed bag for the veteran kicker this season, but the Falcons' improved offense has given Koo more opportunities than in previous seasons.

Wright reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Wright was the Chiefs' placekicker for Friday's game against the Raiders. He went 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts and converted his lone extra-point try as he paced Kansas City to a 19-17 win over Las Vegas. With Harrison Butker (knee) on injured reserve and Spencer Shrader nursing a hamstring injury, Wright could be the Chiefs' starting kicker for Week 14 against the Chargers on Sunday, Dec. 8.

The Commanders elevated Gonzalez from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Tennessee.

This move became a foregone conclusion when Austin Seibert was placed on injured reserve Friday due to a groin injury. Gonzalez did well serving as the Commanders' kicker in Weeks 10 and 11, making all three of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries. Seibert came back for Week 12 but struggled against Dallas and subsequently landed on IR, opening the door for Gonzalez to reprise his role as the team's kicker. He's now been elevated three times on the campaign, so Washington will need to sign Gonzalez to its active roster in order for him to continue kicking on game day beyond this week.

The Falcons elevated Patterson from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's clash against the Chargers, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

Patterson just joined Atlanta's practice squad Friday after being cut by the Jets earlier in November. He had played in one game for New York, making all three of his extra-point tries while not attempting a field goal in Week 9 versus Houston. Patterson may just be kicking insurance for the Falcons in Sunday's contest, as primary kicker Younghoe Koo (hip) logged a full practice session Friday and is expected to be able to suit up.
