  • Blake Grupe K | NO

    Saints' Blake Grupe: Perfect again Week 5

    Grupe nailed both of his field goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 34-0 victory against the Patriots.

    Grupe made all of his kicking attempts for the fourth time in five games this season. The undrafted rookie out of Notre Dame also set a new career-long field goal with a 54-yard conversion to put New Orleans up 24-0 early in the third quarter. He would go on to hit another 53-yarder in the fourth quarter, marking the second-longest made field goal of his young career. Grupe has now hit 11 of 12 field-goal attempts and all nine of his extra-point tries so far this season. He'll look to remain highly efficient versus the Texans on Sunday, Oct. 15.

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Commanders' Joey Slye: Misses key kick Thursday

    Slye converted two of his three field-goal attempts in Thursday's 40-20 loss versus Chicago.

    After the Bears jumped out to a 17-0 lead early in the second quarter, it was clear Washington would be playing catch-up and that Slye's opportunities would be few and far between. The Commanders opted to try for two after both of their two touchdowns on the night and eventually threatened to cut the game down to a one-score margin with five minutes to play. However, Slye pushed a 46-yard attempt wide to the right, effectively putting the contest out of reach. He projects as an average (at best) fantasy option at kicker in Week 6, even given he'll be playing indoors.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Erupts for 16 points

    Santos converted four field goals and four extra points in the Bears' 40-20 win over the Commanders on Thursday.

    Santos came into this game averaging less than four points per game, so his 16-point performance appears to be an outlier. However, if the Bears can build on their recent offensive success, Santos may work his way into being a reliable fantasy option.

  • Brett Maher K | LAR

    Rams' Brett Maher: Keeping kicking job

    Rams head coach Sean McVay said that Maher will remain the team's kicker heading into Sunday's game against the Eagles, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

    McVay addressed the kicker's job status after Maher misfired from 46 and 48 yards out in this past Sunday's 29-23 overtime win over the Colts. Maher turned in an excellent regular season for Dallas in 2022, but he wasn't retained by the team after knocking down just one of his six extra-point attempts between the Cowboys' two postseason contests. He then joined Denver for training camp but lost out to Wil Lutz for the kicking job before the Rams signed him ahead of Week 1. Maher has thus far converted on all of his extra-point tries and on 12 of his NFL-high 16 field-goal attempts through four weeks, with the first two misses of the season coming from 56 and 57 yards out in Week 1. Though Maher's poor accuracy Week 4 was less excusable, he looks like he'll get at least one more game to right the ship.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Misses field goal

    Myers missed one of his two field-goal attempts and made all three of his extra-point tries in Monday night's 24-3 win over the Giants.

    Myers went wide left from 53 yards on his first field goal before making from 34 yards on his next. Through four games, he's missed four of 23 total attempts but still sports 37 points, ranking seventh league-wide among kickers.

  • Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Makes long kick

    Pineiro made both of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.

    Pineiro converted from 26 and 56 yards on his field goals, continuing his strong start to the season. Through four games, he sports 29 points, including at least seven in three straight outings.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: No FG attempts

    Tucker did not attempt a field goal but made all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 28-3 win over the Browns.

    Tucker's production has been lower than usual so far this season, as he's totaled only 23 points through four games. That mark currently places him 26th among kickers in scoring.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Cardinals' Matt Prater: Makes both kicks

    Prater made his only field-goal attempt as well as his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 35-16 loss to the 49ers.

    Prater converted from 38 yards on his field goal. Through four games, he's missed only one of 15 total attempts, compiling 32 points.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Broncos' Wil Lutz: Remains perfect on kicks

    Lutz made his only field-goal attempt while converting all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Bears.

    Lutz continued his perfect streak on kicks that began in Week 2, nailing a 51-yard game-winning field goal late in the fourth quarter. With the Broncos' offense beginning to find itself under coach Sean Payton, it's possible that the veteran kicker may continue to find himself in scoring position more often going forward. Lutz will look to keep his perfect streak going when the Broncos host the Jets in Week 5.

  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Automatic yet again

    Dicker connected on his lone field-goal attempt and also made all three of his extra-point attempts in the 24-17 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    It was a pretty typical game for Dicker, who continues to be near automatic when it comes to field goals within 50 yards. The second-year starter has yet to miss a kick under 50 yards in his NFL career and is situated in an offense that is well-regarded as one of the best in the league.
