  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Perfect on six PATs

    Sanders converted all six of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 42-21 win over Carolina.

    Sanders has only attempted one field goal in Miami's last four games, but he's been 100 percent accurate on an incredible 22 extra-point tries in that same span. The Dolphins' high-flying offense will continue to provide Sanders plenty of scoring opportunities, even if coach Mike McDaniel's aggressiveness means he lacks a reliable floor in terms of weekly field-goal tries. Tua Tagovailoa and company will face a more difficult defensive matchup Week 7 versus the Eagles, however.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYG

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Quiet day in loss

    Koo made his only field-goal attempt and lone extra-point try during Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Commanders.

    Koo hasn't missed a kick in three straight games after a shaky start to the campaign, but he also hasn't received many opportunities. The Falcons fell behind by double figures early Sunday, so they were playing for touchdowns. If the Falcons continue to dig themselves deep holes, Koo simply won't get enough kicks to be a quality fantasy option.

  • Greg Joseph K | LV

    Vikings' Greg Joseph: Tough day in ugly win

    Joseph made two of his three field-goal attempts and one of his two extra-point tries in Sunday's 19-13 win at Chicago.

    Joseph failed to convert on both an extra-point try and a field-goal attempt for the first time this season in Week 6. In his defense, the former kick was blocked and the latter was a 57-yarder on a cool fall day in the Windy City. Even still, Minnesota's offense looked strained without Justin Jefferson (IR-hamstring) and will draw a brutal matchup versus San Francisco's defense in Week 7.

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Commanders' Joey Slye: Gets job done in win

    Slye made his only field-goal attempt and all of his three extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-16 win at Atlanta.

    Slye's toughest task of the day was a 37-yard field goal after the first drive of the game, and he drove it dead center between the uprights. He has struggled somewhat on longer kicks through six games this season, but that might not matter much when Washington travels to take on a weak Giants defense in Week 7.

  • Chad Ryland K | ARI

    Patriots' Chad Ryland: Makes lone FG attempt Sunday

    Ryland made his only field-goal attempt (from 43 yards) in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Raiders.

    Ryland also made both of his extra-point tries Sunday, and through six contests to date, the rookie kicker has compiled a total of 22 points. Until the 1-5 Patriots pick up the pace on offense, Ryland will profile as a low-end fantasy option.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Colts' Matt Gay: Strong day in loss

    Gay made both of his two field-goal attempts and both of his two extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-20 loss at Jacksonville.

    Gay had missed just one kick through five games going into Indianapolis' contest at the Jaguars in Week 6 and continued to be a model of accuracy, including connecting on his fifth 50-plus-yard field goal on as many attempts in 2023. However, in Week 7, the Colts will host a Cleveland defense that's been one of the best in the league through six weeks, dampening expectations for Gay somewhat.

  • Bengals' Evan McPherson: Clutch in Week 6 win

    McPherson made his only field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 17-13 win versus Seattle.

    McPherson didn't get a ton of chances during a low-scoring affair versus the Seahawks, but he answered the call and drove home a 52-yard attempt early in the fourth quarter after a three-and-out from Cincinnati's offense to extend the team's lead to four points, which the Bengals would hold the rest of the way. Cincinnati has struggled to advance the ball the whole length of the field so far this season, putting McPherson on pace for a career high in field-goal attempts. He's remained as effective as ever, but the Bengals will have a tough San Francisco defense on tap after their Week 7 bye.

  • Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Nine made FGs in last two games

    Zuerlein converted all four of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 20-14 win over the Eagles.

    New York's defense forced four turnovers, giving the offense numerous short fields, but it took until the game's final two minutes for the Jets to finally find the end zone. Prior to that point, Zuerlein accounted for the team's first 12 points with makes from 43, 42, 35 and 38 yards. Zuerlein made a 60-yard field goal last season, but the Jets notably turned down a pair of opportunities from 55-plus yards in Sunday's win, electing to go for it once and punt another time.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Perfection again

    Fairbairn converted two of two field-goal attempts and both extra-point kicks in Sunday's 20-13 win over New Orleans in Week 6.

    Fairbairn made a couple of chip shots -- 24 and 22 yards -- and has not missed a kick since Week 2. While Houston's offense did a better job of converted its red-zone trips into touchdowns Sunday, the team ranks 26th with a 38.1 percent touchdown rate on its drives that reach the 20-yard line and in. That has helped Fairbairn rise to the top of kicker scoring. His 17 makes lead all kickers and 18 attempts rank second.

  • Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Misses field goal

    Pineiro missed his only field-goal attempt and made all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Dolphins.

    Pineiro went wide right from 43 yards to end the first half. That misfire contributed toward Pineiro scoring a season-low three points heading into Carolina's bye week.
