Matt Ammendola K | HOU
Texans' Matt Ammendola: Misses two from long distance
Ammendola missed both of his field-goal attempts and made three of three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Jaguars in Week 12.
Two missed field goals in a one-score game loom large, although each were from deep. Ammendola was wide right from the 50 near the end of the first half, then hit the crossbar on an attempt to the tie the game from 58 yards out with 29 seconds left. Ammendola, who is filling in for Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps), has missed his last three FGA.

Blake Grupe K | NO
Saints' Blake Grupe: Logs six field-goal tries Week 12
Grupe connected on five of six field-goal attempts during Sunday's 24-15 loss to the Falcons.
Grupe logged a career-high six field-goal attempts in this injury-ridden outing for New Orleans' offense. With this unit unable to come through with touchdowns while in opposing territory, the team relied on its undrafted rookie kicker to hang in the game. Grupe's was perfect on his first five field-goal tries, which ranged from 25 to 52 yards. But, he came up short on a 54-yard attempt with just under 30 seconds remaining, thus ending his team's slim chances for a comeback win. Grupe has now hit 24 of the first 30 field-goal tries of his career, and all six of his misses have come on attempts of 40 or more yards.

Greg Zuerlein K | NYJ
Jets' Greg Zuerlein: No FG attempts again
Zuerlein didn't attempt a field goal and converted one of two PATs in Friday's 34-13 loss to the Dolphins.
After benching Zach Wilson in favor of Tim Boyle during the previous game, the Jets' struggling offense looked no better in Boyle's first start of 2023. At least Wilson usually got the team in field-goal range a few times per game; Boyle didn't lead the offense into Miami territory until the fourth quarter. Zuerlein hasn't attempted a field goal over the past two games.

Jake Moody K | WAS
49ers' Jake Moody: Converts all attempts Thursday
Moody made his only field-goal attempt from 32 yards out and went 4-for-4 on point-after tries in Thursday's 31-13 win over Seattle.
Moody barely broke a sweat on his five kicks Thursday, as his only field-goal attempt wound up being a shorter kick than his four successful PATs. The end result was another clean outing for the rookie, who has converted 85 percent of his field goals (17-for-20) and all 37 of his extra-point attempts through 11 games this season. Moody will be one of the new faces introduced to a developing rivalry between NFC powerhouses when the 49ers visit the Eagles on Dec. 3.

Younghoe Koo K | NYG
Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Cleared to play
Koo (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against New Orleans, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Koo has played every game this season and missed just one field-goal attempt and one PAT. That he has far more of the former (22) than the latter (15) is a testament both to Koo's reliability and the Falcons' dysfunction on offense. The team is going back to Desmond Ridder under center after a bye, playing at home against the Saints in a game whose winner will reside in first place in the NFC South.

Anders Carlson K | NYJ
Packers' Anders Carlson: Another so-so showing
Carlson made one of two field-goal attempts and two of three extra-point tries in Thursday's 29-22 victory over the Lions.
Carlson matched his Week 11 marks in terms of makes and attempts, though he did hit a field goal from beyond 40 yards this time around. As Green Bay's playoff chances rise, the odds they look at another kicker do as well. However, there has still been no indication they are considering a change. Regardless, fantasy players shouldn't expect much scoring from Carlson in Week 13, as Green Bay will take on a Kansas City team that limits opposing kickers as well as anyone.

Cade York K | CIN
Cade York: Inked to practice squad
The Giants signed York to its practice squad Friday.
York rejoins the Giants organization just two days after he was cut loose from the 53-man roster. The Giants signed him off the Titans' practice squad earlier this month, but he was never active for a game during his three weeks on the roster. The Giants appear to have settled on veteran Randy Bullock as their kicker moving forward with Graham Gano (knee) on injured reserve.

Joey Slye K | TEN
Commanders' Joey Slye: Knocks down only field goal in loss
Slye converted on a 43-yard field-goal try and his lone extra-point attempt during Thursday's 45-10 loss to Dallas.
Slye wasn't presented many scoring opportunities in Thursday's blowout loss, with the Commanders finding themselves trailing significantly from an early stage. Washington's offense will look to get back on track versus the Dolphins in Week 13, though Miami's defense has notably improved of late.

Randy Bullock K | NYG
Giants' Randy Bullock: Joins active roster
The Giants signed Bullock to their active roster Friday.
New York has already elevated Bullock three times this season, so he had to be signed to the active roster in order to suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots. Bullock has been perfect so far for the Giants, converting both of his field-goal tries and all six extra-point attempts across three appearances, though he hasn't yet tried a single kick from 50+ yards out. New York also signed Cade York to the team's practice squad.

Jason Myers K | SEA
Seahawks' Jason Myers: Misses 53-yarder
Myers connected on two of three field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point try in Thursday's 31-13 loss to the 49ers.
Myers made field goals from 30 and 51 yards, but he missed a 53-yarder as time expired in the second quarter, marking the second straight week where he couldn't convert on a kick from beyond 50 yards. The veteran kicker has now hit four of eight kicks from beyond 50 yards this season and 25 of 31 overall field-goal attempts (80.6 percent).
