Chris Boswell K | PIT
Steelers' Chris Boswell: Perfect on extra-point tries
Boswell didn't have any field-goal attempts but converted all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders.
Boswell didn't record a field-goal attempt for the first time this season, but he matched his season-high mark of four extra-point tries as the Steelers' offense found success following the Week 9 bye. The 33-year-old has still been one of the most efficient kickers in the league over the first half of the season, converting 23 of 24 field-goal attempts while making all 20 of his extra-point tries.

Brandon Aubrey K | DAL
Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Supplies only points in rout
Aubrey connected on both his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Eagles.
It was a brutal day for the Dallas offense without Dak Prescott (hamstring) under center, and Aubrey produced the team's only points with a couple of first-half FGs, the longest of which went for 46 yards. Prescott could be headed for season-ending surgery, so Aubrey's ceiling suddenly looks a lot lower ahead of a Week 11 tilt against the Texans, and potentially for the rest of 2024.

Jake Elliott K | PHI
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Perfect in blowout win
Elliott converted on both of his two field-goal attempts and made all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 34-6 win at Dallas.
Elliott's longest field-goal attempt in Week 10 came from 39 yards out early in the fourth quarter to put the Eagles up 31-6. He's been automatic on short kicks this season and gets plenty of chances with one of the league's top offensive units, so he projects as a solid fantasy play when Philadelphia hosts the Commanders in Week 11.

Nick Folk K | ATL
Titans' Nick Folk: Misses first kick of season
Folk converted one of his two field-goal tries and made both of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 27-17 loss against the Chargers.
Folk had made all 11 of his field-goal tries in his first eight games of the season, but he pushed a 49-yard attempt wide right in the second quarter of Sunday's contest. Unless Tennessee turns things around in a major way offensively during the home stretch of the year, Folk doesn't figure to be the most reliable fantasy option over that span.

Cam Little K | JAC
Jaguars' Cam Little: Quiet in low-scoring affair
Little did not record any field-goal tries but made his only extra-point attempt during Sunday's 12-7 loss versus the Vikings.
For the second straight week, Little was held without a field-goal attempt in Week 10. The Jaguars' offense was already struggling with Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) under center, and things certainly didn't improve with Mac Jones at the helm Sunday. It's probably safe to leave Little on waivers in most formats for Jacksonville's game at Detroit in Week 11.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Broncos' Wil Lutz: Potential game-winner blocked
Lutz did not convert on either of his two field-goal tries but made both of his two extra-point attempts during Sunday's 16-14 loss at Kansas City.
In a game decided by just two points, Lutz converting on just one of his field-goal attempts could have made the difference. It's hard to pin too much blame on him though, as his 60-yard try at the end of the half came up just short, and what would have been a game-winning 35-yarder as time expired was blocked by Leo Chenal. He'll be looking to bounce back in Week 11 versus the Falcons.

Cameron Dicker K | LAC
Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Steady in win
Dicker converted both of his two field-goal tries and made all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 27-17 win versus the Titans.
Dicker's farthest kick Sunday came from 37 yards out, just a bit longer than an extra point, so he wasn't necessarily put to the test in Week 10. It was nonetheless a positive development for him, as he had missed kicks in each of his two games prior. He'll be kicking in a dome again in Week 11 versus the Bengals.

Chad Ryland K | ARI
Cardinals' Chad Ryland: Solid in runaway win
Ryland converted his only field-goal try and made all four of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 31-6 win versus the Jets.
Ryland's only field goal came from just 37 yards out as time expired in the first half, so nothing especially difficult was asked of him in Week 10. With that said, he now hasn't missed a kick since Week 5 and projects as a solid fantasy option for the home stretch of the season after the Cardinals' bye in Week 11.

Ka'imi Fairbairn K | HOU
Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Rebounds in loss
Fairbairn connected on three of four field-goal attempts and nailed both extra-point kicks in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions in Week 10.
Fairbairn, who missed a pair of field-goal tries in a Week 9 loss to Jets, rebounded with an 11-point effort, his seventh double-digit week in 10 games. His lone miss was wide left on a 56-yard attempt late in the game, which gave possession to the Lions near midfield and set up their game-winning field goal with no time left on the clock. Despite the miss, it's hard to pin this loss on Fairbairn; all finger-pointing should be directed at the defense and offense. Houston owned a 23-7 halftime lead but failed to build on that advantage and allowed Detroit to score on its final three possessions.
