  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Cardinals' Matt Prater: Makes all three kicks Sunday

    Prater netted all three field-goal attempts during Sunday's 26-9 defeat to the Rams.

    Prater accounted for all of the Cardinals' points Week 6, striking true from 55, 32 and 27 yards during the contest. His long made kick in the first quarter also doubled as his 74th from 50-plus yards, which extended an NFL record that he owns, per Darren Urban of the team's official site. After logging just one FGA in the previous two games, Prater again was busy Sunday, marking his fourth occasion this season with exactly three such attempts and helping push him back into a tie for 17th among kickers in scoring (7.2 points per game) with the Dolphins' Jason Sanders.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Titans' Nick Folk: Remains perfect heading into bye

    Folk made all three of his field-goal attempts and converted his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Ravens.

    Folk converted field goals from 26, 27 and 38 yards to extend his perfect start to the season. He's also converted multiple attempts in five of six games on the campaign. While the Titans offense won't provide the most opportunities for Folk, he's been a consistent producer who has shown excellent accuracy.

  • Jaguars' Brandon McManus: Busy day Week 6

    McManus went 3-for-3 on field goals and 4-for-4 on PATs during Sunday's 37-20 win against the Colts.

    The veteran kicker showed off his range Week 6, as he converted field goals from 48, 49 and 51 yards, all three of which came during the second half. McManus has now attempted three field goals in four of the past five games, and he's 12-for-14 through six contests overall this year.

  • Blake Grupe K | NO

    Saints' Blake Grupe: Misses two key FGs in loss

    Grupe connected on two of four field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Texans.

    Grupe had the worst performance of his young career Sunday. After making all but one of his combined kicking attempts in four of the first five games this season, the undrafted rookie missed multiple field goals for the first time, narrowly misfiring on a 52-yarder in the first quarter followed by a bad miss on a 29-yard attempt in the fourth quarter. Grupe's misses ultimately caused the Saints to have to be more aggressive on their final trips into the red zone, resulting in a turnover on downs followed by a game-sealing interception. The 5-foot-7 kicker will now look to bounce back versus Jacksonville on Thursday Night Football.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Misses from 37 yards

    Elliott made both of his extra-point attempts but missed his only field-goal try in Sunday's 20-14 loss to the Jets.

    Elliott had been a big fantasy producer in the first five weeks of the season, averaging over three made field goals per game. He produced a dud in Week 6, however, missing from 37 yards in his lone attempt. The Eagles offense as a whole struggled as they lost for the first time this season, with four turnovers cutting drives short before Elliott got the chance to work.

  • Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Six points in Week 6 loss

    McLaughlin made field-goal attempts from 33 and 36 yards and did not attempt any extra points in the Buccaneers' 20-6 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    The Buccaneers offense offered McLaughlin scant opportunities to put points on the board, but he made good on the two chances he did see. Both of the veteran kicker's made field goals were close calls to varying degree, and McLaughlin now boasts a 90.0 percent success rate on his 10 field-goal attempts and has made all seven point-after tries heading into a Week 7 home divisional clash against the Falcons.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Hits all three FG tries Sunday

    Gano made all three of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 14-9 loss to the Bills.

    The Giants weren't able to score a touchdown in the contest, so Gano's leg was responsible for all of the team's scoring. The veteran converted two 29-yarders and a 43-yarder to finish with exactly three field goals for the second straight week. Gano is 10-for-13 on field-goal tries overall this season, with two of his misses coming Week 1 versus Dallas.

  • Brett Maher K | LAR

    Rams' Brett Maher: Makes FG in all four quarters

    Maher connected on all four field-goal attempts and both of his PATs during Sunday's 26-9 victory against the Cardinals.

    While Maher didn't make a lengthy field goal during his busy day of kicking, he was perfect on all six of his kicks, including field goals from 25, 29, 35 and 43 yards, respectively. The solid day for Maher was something fantasy managers were probably relieved to see after a shaky performance in Week 4 and a complete lack of field-goal attempts in Week 5. Maher now stands at a more reliable 16-for-20 on field goals on the year, making it easier to trust the veteran heading into a Week 7 home matchup against the Steelers.

  • Jake Moody K | WAS

    49ers' Jake Moody: First miss leads to first team loss

    Moody went 1-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Browns.

    Moody's perfect stretch to begin his pro career finally came to an end following after missing two crucial kicks in Week 6's loss to Cleveland. The rookie placekicker missed the first and last of his three attempts Sunday. The first miss came early in the contest from 54 yards out, but it was his final miss on a 41-yard attempt that stands out after his team lost by just two points. Moody will have to shake off his first rough outing in the pros and attempt to bounce back when the 49ers face the Vikings on Monday Night Football in Week 7.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Season-high 13 points in win

    Carlson converted all four of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Patriots.

    Carlson rebounded from his pair of failed field-goal attempts on Monday Night Football in Week 5 by notching his best performance of the season with a 13-point effort Sunday, making four field goals all from inside 40 yards. The Raiders now travel to Soldier Field for a Week 7 matchup against the Bears.
