  • Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Clinches first win

    Pineiro made all three of his field-goal attempts but missed his only extra-point try in Sunday's 15-13 win over the Texans.

    Pineiro converted from 46 and 37 yards prior to making a 23-yarder as time expired. With his last kick clinching Carolina's first win of the season, Pineiro compensated for missing a PAT earlier on Sunday. Through seven games, he now sports 47 points.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Makes pair of XPs on Monday

    Carlson converted both of his extra-point attempts in Monday's 26-14 loss to the Lions.

    Carlson was able to play through the groin injury that impacted his practice availability earlier in the week, but he ultimately wasn't given the chance to attempt a field goal on Monday Night Football. The 3-5 Raiders now head back home for a Week 9 matchup against the Giants.

  • Lions' Riley Patterson: Busy day

    Patterson converted four of five field-goal attempts and both of his PATs during Monday's 26-14 win over the Raiders.

    After giving fantasy managers nothing last week, Patterson saw as many field goal attempts as he had the previous four weeks. He ultimately nailed a quartet of kicks ranging from 31 to 52 yards only to miss his final attempt from 26 yards out. While Patterson didn't maximize his output, it was nice to see his upside as a fantasy asset within a productive Lions offense. He will look to stay productive once Detroit returns from a Week 9 bye to take on a weak Chargers defense.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Perfect vs. Pats

    Sanders converted his only field-goal attempt and all four extra-point tries during Sunday's 31-17 win over New England.

    Sanders didn't need to do much during Miami's divisional Week 8 win, but he did put together his sixth consecutive game without a missed kick. He could be presented with more scoring opportunities when the Dolphins take on the Chiefs in Germany in Week 9.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Cardinals' Matt Prater: Nails both kicks Sunday

    Prater connected on his only field-goal attempt and sole point-after try during Sunday's 31-24 defeat to the Ravens.

    Despite the close margin of victory, the Cardinals were down 21-7 entering the fourth quarter and went for two after both of their touchdowns down the stretch, limiting Prater's chances. He thus matched his third-lowest point total (four) in eight games on the campaign, which pushed his scoring average from 6.7 to 6.4 points per game. Prater may have a tough time producing Sunday against a Browns team that has conceded the fourth-fewest FGAs (11) to opponents in seven contests this season.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Titans' Nick Folk: Limited to extra-point attempts

    Folk made all four of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Falcons.

    For the first time this season, Folk did not attempt a field goal. He still did what was asked of him, making a season-high four extra-point attempts. Folk has yet to miss a kick this season as the Titans head into a Week 9 matchup against Pittsburgh.

  • Blake Grupe K | NO

    Saints' Blake Grupe: Perfect in Week 8 win

    Grupe made his only field-goal attempt and all five of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 38-27 victory versus Indianapolis.

    Grupe didn't see any difficult kicking attempts, as his lone field-goal try came from just 27 yards out to extend the lead to 38-27 in the final minute. The undrafted rookie missed three of his eight field-goal attempts over the previous two contests, so it's not to say that he's completely out of the woods yet. Grupe has now gone 17-for-21 on field-goal attempts while hitting all 16 of his PATs through eight games.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Misses long field goal Sunday

    Tucker want 1-for-2 on field goals Sunday against the Cardinals and converted all four of his extra point attempts.

    Tucker had an uncharacteristic miss on a field goal try, as his 53-yard attempt clanked off the upright. He was otherwise solid, drilling a 48-yard field goal and converting his extra-point attempts. Tucker is now 13-of-16 on field goals and 21-of-22 on extra points through eight weeks and sits tied for 11th in kicker scoring with 60 points. The Ravens return home to host the Seahawks in Week 9.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Mostly on extra-point duty

    Elliott converted his lone field-goal attempt and all five of his extra points in Sunday's 38-31 win over Washington.

    Elliott was accurate from 51 yards in the first quarter and then wasn't asked to do anything difficult the rest of the way. It's the third straight week in which he's attempted just a single field goal, which follows a streak in which he attempted at least three kicks in five consecutive games to begin the year.

  • Raiders' James McCourt: Healthy scratch Monday

    McCourt (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's contest at Detroit.

    The Raiders elevated McCourt from the practice squad Monday as insurance in the event their regular kicker Daniel Carlson was unable to play through a groin injury. Having said that, Carlson is active for Week 8, relegating McCourt to a healthy scratch.
