    Broncos' Wil Lutz: Perfect on kicks

    Lutz made his only field-goal attempt while converting both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Texans.

    Lutz continued his perfect streak on field-goal attempts Sunday, making all 12 of his tries since Week 10. With that said, the veteran kicker was unable to produce much against the Texans as the Broncos' offense struggled to get much going throughout the contest. Lutz will look to have more of an impact on the scoreboard when the Broncos visit the Chargers in Week 14.

  • Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Limited to PATs in win

    McLaughlin did not attempt any field goals and made all three of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 21-18 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    McLaughlin did not get any field-goal tries for the second time in three games, although this time that unfolded in victory. The veteran kicker has been true on 41 of the 43 total kicks he's attempted through 12 games, including a perfect 22-for-22 tally on extra-point attempts. McLaughlin will have the benefit of kicking in a dome environment during Sunday's Week 14 divisional road clash against the Falcons.

  • Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Makes his kicks

    Pineiro made his only field-goal attempt and lone extra-point try in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Pineiro converted from 23 yards on his field goal. With the Panthers offense struggling to move the ball, though, he was limited to four points for the third straight week. That stretch leaves him with 73 points on the season, placing him outside the top 25 at his position.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Converts two field goals in loss

    Elliott made both of his field-goal attempts and went 1-for-1 on extra points in Sunday's 42-19 loss to the 49ers.

    Elliott was good from 26 and 39 yards to account for all of the scoring in the first quarter, but the Eagles would be outscored 42-13 the rest of the way. The game represented the Eagles' second-lowest point total of the year, though it was also their first game with multiple field-goal attempts since Week 5.

  • Texans' Matt Ammendola: Reverts to practice squad

    Ammendola reverted to Houston's practice squad Monday.

    Ammendola made all three of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's win over the Broncos as continues to fill in for Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadricep). Fairbairn is now eligible to come off injured reserve, but head coach DeMeco Ryans said he was still uncertain if Fairbairn will be ready for the Week 14 game against the Jets; therefore, Ammendola could be in line to play once again.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Nails all six PATs

    Sanders converted his only field-goal attempt and all six extra-point tries during Sunday's 45-15 win over Washington.

    Sanders wasn't called upon to attempt many field goals Sunday, as at no point did the Dolphins' offense stall, but he was money on point-after tries. He faces another matchup Week 14 in which Miami figures to enter as a heavy favorite, with the Dolphins taking on the Titans on Monday.

  • Lions' Riley Patterson: Bounces back

    Patterson converted two of two field-goal attempts and all three PATs during Sunday's win over the Saints.

    This is a respectable statistical bounce-back effort after Patterson hit rock bottom in Week 12. Through 12 games, the Memphis product has now seen multiple field-goal attempts six times but none at all in five of the other contests. While the floor is non-existent, Patterson could again be a worthwhile roll of the dice in a road matchup in Week 14 against a Bears defense allowing the sixth-most points per game (24.7) this season.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Titans' Nick Folk: Costly missed extra point

    Folk made two of his three extra-point attempts and both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to the Colts.

    Folk has been excellent this season, as he entered Sunday's contest having missed only one field goal across 23 attempts while making all 17 extra-point attempts. He was mostly on target once again, though he missed a vital point-after attempt late in the fourth quarter that would have given the Titans a one-point lead. That miss was influenced by an injury to Ryan Stonehouse (knee), as his absence forced Ryan Tannehill into the game as the holder, and he went on to mishandle the snap on Folk's missed kick. Assuming the Titans resolve their situation at holder before their Week 14 matchup against the Dolphins, Folk should remain a reliable kicking option.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Stays perfect at Green Bay

    Butker converted both of his two field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 27-19 loss at Green Bay.

    Both of Butker's field goals came from within 40 yards after the Chiefs' offense stalled out in the red zone, so it was a relatively easy day at the office despite the freezing weather. Kansas City still has a top-10 offense and Butker still hasn't missed this season, so weather will be the only concern in Week 14 when the Chiefs host a beatable Bills defense.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Suffers rare miss Sunday

    Boswell converted just one of his two field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 24-10 loss versus the Cardinals.

    Boswell's miss from 45 yards out late in the third quarter was just his second miss this season and his first since Week 8 versus Jacksonville, when he missed from 61 yards away. Otherwise, he's been incredibly accurate, held back only by a Pittsburgh offense that's averaging just 16.0 points per game. The Steelers will square off against a solid defense in Week 14 versus the Patriots, so Boswell won't be a great fantasy option despite his effectiveness.
