  • Packers' Anders Carlson: Tacks on two field goals

    Carlson made two field goals and one of two extra-point attempts in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Steelers.

    Carlson -- as a result of a block -- did not convert a PAT try for the first time as a professional, but he did make multiple field goals for the fourth time in six games. Although he is putting three points on the board more frequently, he is not giving fantasy players that extra boost, as he has not made an attempt from longer than 37 yards since late September.

  • Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Only needed for PATs

    Aubrey connected on all seven of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 49-17 rout of the Giants.

    The rookie kicker has now converted an incredible 45 straight attempts including both PATs and field goals, with his only career miss coming on his very first extra-point attempt back in Week 1. The Cowboys' offensive efficiency against an overmatched Giants team Sunday prevented Aubrey from really cashing in from a fantasy perspective, however, and he's only seen three FG attempts total over the last three games -- although he does have 14 PATs over that span. That makes him a better floor option than ceiling play heading into a Week 11 clash with the Panthers.

  • Texans' Matt Ammendola: No issues replacing Fairbairn

    Ammendola converted three of three field-goal attempts and all three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Bengals in Week 10.

    Ammendola was added to the active roster after Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) landed on injured reserve, and the kicking game didn't miss a beat. Regardless of which kicker is active, Houston's offense sets up kickers to succeed. The Texans rank sixth in the NFL with 23 field-goal attempts, and the kickers have converted 22.

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Knocks home seven kicks

    Myers connected on all five field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 29-26 win over the Commanders.

    Four of Myers' field goals came from beyond 40 yards, including the 43-yard, game-winning kick as time expired to send the Seahawks to 6-3 on the season. This is the second time this season that Myers hit five field goals in a game. The 32-year-old has now hit 20 of 24 field goals (83 percent) -- the fifth most in the league -- while making all 18 extra-point tries.

  • Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Overcomes missed XP

    Hopkins successfully converted four of four field-goal attempts and one of two extra-point kicks in Sundays' 33-31 win over the Ravens in Week 10.

    As the Browns rallied in the second half, Hopkins missed extra-point loomed large, as the Ravens clung to a one-point lead midway through the fourth quarter. However, the placekicker made up for the miss with a 40-yard field goal as time expired to complete the comeback win. The missed extra point, his first of the season, could have hurt, but Hopkins has been vital to the team's success in 2023. Sunday's effort was the third time in the last five weeks he's made at least four field goals -- Cleveland's won all three of this game. For the season, Hopkins is 24-of-27 on field goals, including a perfect 7-of-7 from beyond the 50, and leads all kickers with 86 points.

  • Giants' Randy Bullock: Moves to active roster

    Bullock was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster by the Giants on Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    The kicker made his 2023 debut with New York in Week 9 against the Raiders but did not attempt an extra point or field goal in a 30-6 defeat. Bullock's elevation to the active roster should indicate that he'll be the kicker again Sunday against the Cowboys over Cade York. Both have been competing for the job since Graham Gano went down with a left knee injury that will require surgery.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Placed on injured reserve

    Fairbairn (quadricep) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Fairbairn will miss at least four games after straining his right quad in Sunday's 39-37 win over the Buccaneers. Matt Ammendola was elevated from the practice squad Saturday and will take over as the Texans' kicker beginning with Sunday's game in Cincinnati.

  • Texans' Matt Ammendola: Set to fill in

    Ammendola will be elevated to the Texans' active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Ammendola will fill in Ka'imi Fairbairn, who likely will miss a couple of games due to a strained quadriceps. Ammendola, a third-year kicker, last played two games with the Cardinals and Chiefs respectively in 2022, converting five of his seven field-goal attempts, but nothing longer than 40 yards.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Out for Week 10

    Fairbairn (quad) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

    The veteran kicker will miss his first game of the season after going 18 for 19 on field goals and nailing all 14 of his extra points through Week 9. Matt Ammendola is on the Texans' practice squad and is expected to be elevated Saturday to handle kicking duties in Sunday's contest.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Still not practicing Friday

    Fairbairn (quadriceps) did not participate at practice Friday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Fairbairn did not practice at all during the week, which means he's likely on track to miss his first game of the season in Week 10. Houston will likely elevate Matt Ammendola from its practice squad to fill in for Fairbairn prior to Sunday's game at Cincinnati.
