Randy Bullock K | NYG
Giants' Randy Bullock: Nails only FG attempt in win
Bullock made his only field-goal try and all four of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's Week 11 31-19 victory over Washington.
Bullock converted from 36 yards out midway through the fourth quarter for his second made field goal in as many attempts this season. New York surprisingly put up a hefty amount of points in the win, which allowed Bullock to pad his scoring total with four extra-points. The veteran hasn't been challenged with any long or pressure-packed kicks in his three games since taking over for Graham Gano (knee), but he also hasn't done anything negative to give New York reason to go in another direction.

Cade York K | CIN
Giants' Cade York: Healthy scratch again
York (coach's decision) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
The 22-year-old had a chance to win the kicking job in New York after Graham Gano (knee) was placed on injured reserve, but it seems as if he's lost the competition, with Randy Bullock assuming the team's kicking duties. York has yet to appear in an NFL game since signing with the Giants' in early November.

Matt Ammendola K | HOU
Texans' Matt Ammendola: Signs with active roster
The Texans signed Ammendola to their active roster Saturday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
As expected, Ammendola will operate as Houston's kicker in Week 11 after signing with the team's active roster Saturday. The 26-year-old had no problems stepping in for the injured Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) last week, as he converted on all six of his attempted kicks (three field goals and three extra points).

Giants' Randy Bullock: Set to kick again Week 11
The Giants elevated Bullock from their practice squad Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Bullock has served as New York's kicker over the past two weeks, with Graham Gano (knee) on injured reserve. He didn't get to attempt any field goals in his first contest, but Bullock connected on his only try -- a 40-yarder -- last week against Dallas. Given the struggles of the Giants' offense, Bullock isn't a particularly appealing option for fantasy managers ahead of Sunday's game versus Washington.

Evan McPherson K | CIN
Bengals' Evan McPherson: Misses field goal Thursday
McPherson converted one of his two field-goal attempts and both of his two extra-point tries in Thursday's 34-20 loss at Baltimore.
In an otherwise mistake-free game for McPherson, he was unable to send home a 53-yard attempt on the first play of the second quarter that would have cut the Ravens' lead to 7-6. He still hasn't missed from 49 yards or fewer in 2023, but another long miss in Week 11 sent his conversion rate on kicks of 50-plus yards down to 60 percent for the season. With Joe Burrow (wrist) set to miss the rest of the campaign, fantasy prospects for Cincinnati's entire offense and McPherson take a huge ding going into the home stretch.

Justin Tucker K | BAL
Ravens' Justin Tucker: Another busy outing Thursday
Tucker connected on both of his field-goal tries and all four of his extra-point attempts Thursday against the Bengals.
Tucker got back on track Thursday after having a kick blocked in Week 10 against the Browns. He is tied for fifth in the league in field goals made with 19, and the Ravens' high-flying offense of late has put Tucker second in made extra points (33) as well. Tucker and the Ravens head to Los Angeles in what should be another high-scoring affair in Week 12.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Broncos' Wil Lutz: Hits game-winning field goal
Lutz made all four of his field-goal attempts and missed his only extra-point try in Monday's 24-22 loss to the Bills.
Lutz converted a pair of 40-yard field goals as well as kicks from 49 and 36 yards, the last of which won the game for Denver with no time left on the clock. Although he missed his lone point-after try, the veteran's 12 points marked his second-highest tally this season.

Ravens' Justin Tucker: Has kick blocked
Tucker missed one of his two field-goal attempts and made all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Browns.
Tucker converted a 37-yard field goal but later had a 55-yarder blocked. Overall, he finished with seven points, leaving him with 80 through 10 games, which is tied for the third-most among kickers league-wide.

Riley Patterson K | MIA
Lions' Riley Patterson: Another productive outing
Patterson converted both of his field-goal attempts and five of five PATs during Sunday's 41-38 win over the Chargers.
While his two field-goal tries are a far cry from the five he saw in Week 8, Patterson remained busy coming out of the bye. However, despite the recent production, Detroit still sits 28th in the league in field-goal attempts per game despite ranking top-six in points per game (26.8), yards per game (406.4), and yards per play (5.9). The hope for Patterson is that his association with a high-powered offense -- that is now fully healthy after the return of David Montgomery -- will lead the Memphis product to better fantasy production over the second half of the season. Up next is a home matchup against a Bears defense allowing the sixth-most points per game (25.5) in 2023.

Younghoe Koo K | NYG
Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Perfect in loss
Koo made his only field-goal attempt and both point-after tries during Sunday's 25-23 loss to Arizona.
Koo was limited to just three kicks after making a season-high six last week against the Vikings. Regardless, he's still made 18 kicks (12 field goals) over his last four games and hasn't missed since Week 3. The Falcons' offense is inconsistent, especially now that they're fully embedded in a quarterback controversy, but Koo remains one of the more consistent placekickers in the NFL.
