  • Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Another solid showing Sunday

    McLaughlin connected on field-goal attempts of 25 and 35 yards and converted both extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 20-6 win over the Titans on Sunday.

    McLaughlin's perfect day was par for the course for the veteran kicker, who's now boasting an 89.5 percent success rate on field goals and remains a perfect 15-for-15 on PATs. The Buccaneers offense is about as middle of the road as it gets in terms of presenting McLaughlin scoring opportunities, but his efficiency keeps him as an above-average fantasy option most weeks. However, this Sunday's road clash against the 49ers could be an exception, as San Francisco's defense appeared refocused and reinvigorated in a Week 10 thrashing of the Jaguars.

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Another disappointing total

    Bass made both of his extra-point kicks and did not have a field-goal attempt in Monday's 24-22 loss to the Broncos.

    Over his last six games, Bass has posted a terrible total of 21 points scored, less than his two-game total of 25 he provided in Weeks 3-4. Bass hasn't been a bad kicker by any means, making 12 of his 15 field-goal attempts and all 28 of his extra-point tries. Instead, those rostering him have been burned by Buffalo's turnover-itis in recent times, and the team no longer seems to be able to score like it did in past seasons. Bass has fallen all the way into a tie for 21st in kicker scoring. Just like the team he kicks for, Bass's season started off with major promise and has fallen into mediocrity. He and the Bills take on the Jets in Week 11, and New York offers a staunch defense that's been great at keeping points off the board.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Titans' Nick Folk: Perfect streak broken

    Folk made two of his three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Folk missed a 51-yard field goal early in the second quarter, his first failed attempt of the season. Even so, he managed to account for the Titans' only points in the game by converting kicks from 38 and 27 yards. Folk has made multiple field goals in seven of nine games on the campaign.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Cardinals' Matt Prater: Connects on five kicks Sunday

    Prater netted all four field-goal attempts and his only point-after try during Sunday's 25-23 win versus the Falcons.

    Prater could have had slightly more output Week 10, but the Cardinals went for two on their first touchdown of the game just before halftime. Still, with Arizona's offense stalling often in Atlanta territory, he was handed FGAs of 51, 46, 56 and 23 yards, all of which he connected on for his most productive performance of the season. And the final one (the 23-yarder) split the uprights as time expired. With quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) now directing the offense, Prater may start to make his way up the most points scored list, but he currently ranks 26th (6.4 points per game) among NFL placekickers that have made at least seven appearances this season.

  • Blake Grupe K | NO

    Saints' Blake Grupe: Logs one field-goal try Week 10

    Grupe converted his only field-goal attempt during Sunday's 27-19 loss to Minnesota.

    Grupe got the Saints on the board by making a 48-yard field goal at the end of the first quarter, but he never saw another opportunity to put the ball through the uprights, as New Orleans attempted two-point conversions on each of their touchdowns while trailing in the second half. Grupe has now gone 19-for-24 on field-goal tries while converting all 19 of his PATs. The rookie could have more opportunities in the Saints' Week 12 matchup against the Falcons following a Week 11 bye.

  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Perfect once more

    Dicker knocked home his lone field-goal attempt and also converted on all five of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 41-38 loss to the Lions.

    The second-year kicker continues to be a revelation, as Dicker has missed just two of his field-goal attempts since joining the Chargers in Week 9 of last season. Expect the 23-year-old to have a solid day with the offense set to square off against the miserable Packers defense in Week 11.

  • Giants' Randy Bullock: Reverts to practice squad

    Bullock reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday.

    Bullock converted his only field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. The 2012 fifth-round pick could have another opportunity to be called up next week versus the Commanders with Graham Gano (knee) still on injured reserve, though Cade York is also on the active roster.

  • Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Short on game-winner

    Pineiro made two of three field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in a 16-13 loss to the Bears in Week 10.

    Pineiro converted from 33 and 39 yards prior to coming up short on a 59-yard attempt to tie the game with under two minutes remaining. Through nine games, he's made 29 of 33 total kicks, accumulating 61 points.

  • Texans' Matt Ammendola: Sent to practice squad

    Ammendola reverted to the Texans' practice squad Monday.

    Ammendola will return to Houston's practice unit for the time being, but he'll likely operate as the team's placekicker again in Week 11 with Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) on injured reserve. Ammendola went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts while also making all three of his PATs in Sunday's 30-27 win over Cincinnati.

  • Jaguars' Brandon McManus: Converts lone kick

    McManus made his only field-goal attempt during Sunday's 34-3 loss to the 49ers.

    The 32-year-old put Jacksonville on the board with a 37-yard field goal during the second quarter, and that ended up being the team's only points of the game. McManus missed two field goals Week 3 against Houston but is otherwise perfect on 18 tries this season, and he also has yet to miss an extra-point attempt. If he's able to maintain this level of accuracy, the 90 percent hit rate would be the best of his career.
