  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Cardinals' Matt Prater: Puts up goose egg in Week 9

    Prater played only one snap on special teams during Sunday's 27-0 defeat at Cleveland.

    A moribund Cardinals offense led by rookie fifth-round quarterback Clayton Tune produced just 58 net yards of offense and never got the ball past the Browns' 40-yard line. As a result, Prater's only action of the day was a kickoff to begin the second half. The impending returns of quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) from the reserve/PUP list and running back James Conner (knee) from injured reserve could change Prater's fortunes for the better, but his recent tallies (four, four and zero points) leave a lot to be desired.

  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Nails career-long field goal

    Dicker converted on both of his field-goal attempts and all three extra-point attempts in the 27-6 win over the Jets on Monday.

    Dicker's 55-yard field goal to end the first half was easily a career long and marks his fourth made field goal from 50-plus yards out this season. Usually known as a reliable kicker from shorter distances, the second-year starter has become a bit more consistent even from longer distances and is situated in one of the better offenses in the league.

  • Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Productive in high-scoring loss

    McLaughlin made field-goal attempts of 35, 49 and 55 yards and drilled all four extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 39-37 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

    One week after logging just two field-goal attempts and having one blocked, McLaughlin was the other end of the spectrum in terms of opportunity. The high-scoring affair led to McLaughlin racking up a season-high 13 points while connecting on his fourth field goal of 50+ yards this season. McLaughlin has proven quite the find for Tampa Bay, missing just two of 30 total kicks and offering stellar long-range accuracy. McLaughlin could be in for another busy afternoon in a Week 10 home matchup against the Titans.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Good on both PATs

    Sanders converted both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 21-14 loss to Kansas City.

    Sanders didn't log a field-goal attempt during Miami's international Week 9 loss, with the team having been forced into an aggressive gameplan due to an early deficit. After Miami's bye, Sanders will benefit from a more favorable matchup against the Raiders in Week 11.

  • Giants' Randy Bullock: Back on practice squad

    Bullock reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    In his second stint with the Giants, Bullock was contained to a pair of kickoffs, one to start the third quarter and another following the team's only touchdown when New York opted for a two-point conversion attempt Sunday during the 30-6 loss at Las Vegas. It's unclear if the Giants will continue to roll with Bullock as their placekicker or instead go with Cade York, who is the option on the active roster, during Graham Gano's (knee) stint on injured reserve. If Bullock gets the call Sunday in Dallas, he'll need to be elevated from the practice squad by Saturday afternoon.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Busy day against Seahawks

    Tucker went 3-for-3 on field goals Sunday against the Seahawks and added four extra points in the win.

    The veteran was perfect on his seven tries Sunday as the Ravens offense kept him busy en route to putting up over 30 points for the third consecutive week. Tucker made two field goals from inside 40 yards and one 45-yarder. The Ravens may be hard-pressed to have as smooth of sailing on offense in Week 10 when the Browns travel to Baltimore, but Tucker is still making nearly every attempt he is given.

  • Rams' Lucas Havrisik: Records first miss of career

    Havrisik connected on one of two field-goal attempts during Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Packers.

    On a misty day at Lambeau Field, the Rams offense as a whole sputtered with Brett Rypien at the helm, leaving Havrisik with few opportunities to produce. While he did manage to drill a 52-yard attempt in the second quarter, he pushed a 49-yard try wide right in the third quarter. Havrisik will likely get a pass for the miss with the weather conditions working against him, and he has the Rams' bye in Week 10 to look forward to before facing off against the Seahawks at home in Week 11.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Buries three field goals Sunday

    Carlson converted all three of his field-goal attempts and a trio of extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Giants.

    Carlson didn't let the groin injury that kept him limited in practice throughout the week bother him Sunday, tallying 12 total points for his second-best output of the season through nine games, notably making two of his field goals from 40-plus yards. Although Las Vegas' offense might've shown signs of improvement upon the firing of coach Josh McDaniels and with Aidan O'Connell's promotion to starting quarterback, a tough test awaits Week 10 as a stingy Jets defense arrives to town.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYG

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Busy day at office

    Koo made all four of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Vikings.

    Koo made a season-high six kicks during the Week 9 loss, including two 50-yard field goals. He's made 15 kicks (11 field goals) over his last three games and hasn't missed since Week 3. While the Falcons' offense can sputter at times, Koo remains one of the more consistent placekickers in the NFL and is a strong fantasy option on a weekly basis.

  • Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Sets new NFL record

    Aubrey successfully converted one field-goal attempt and two extra-point attempts in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

    While he didn't see a lot of volume, Aubrey's 51-yard kick straight down the middle of the uprights late in the second quarter not only gave Dallas a 17-14 lead, it set a new NFL record -- the rookie kicker has begun his career with 19 straight successful field goals, breaking the old mark of 18 set by Travis Coons in 2015. Aubrey's also missed only one of his PAT attempts this season, and he'll look to keep rolling in Week 10 against the Giants.
