  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Produces handsomely in win

    Fairbairn converted all three field-goal attempts and all four extra-point kicks in Sunday's 37-17 win over Jacksonville in Week 3.

    After a couple of serviceable weeks, Fairbairn broke out in Week 3 with 13 points, his first double-digit effort of the season. He ranks third among kickers in scoring with 30 points and is tied for third with nine field-goal attempts over the first three weeks.

  • Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Three more FGs in Week 3

    Aubrey connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and his only PAT try in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

    The rookie kicker converted from 26, 27 and 49 yards out, and Aubrey is a perfect 10-for-10 on FG attempts to begin his NFL career. If the Cowboys continue to struggle in the red zone behind a banged-up offensive line -- they scored only one TD on five trips to the red zone Sunday -- Aubrey should keep producing at an elite level.

  • Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Perfect in win

    Hopkins converted both field-goal attempts and all three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Titans in Week 3.

    Hopkins was successful from 48 and 52 yards in the first half, helping the Browns build a 13-3 halftime lead. He's made both of his kicks from beyond the 50 this season and provided much-needed calm to the kicking game. Hopkins has converted seven of eight FGAs, with the lone miss coming from 43 yards last week.

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Plays role in offensive outburst

    Bass made all three of his field-goal attempts and was 4-for-4 on extra points in Sunday's 37-3 win over the Commanders

    Bass has 31 points already on the season, currently tied for third in the league among kickers. He's also been even more accurate than usual, going 7-for-7 on field goals -- including two from 50-plus -- while knocking in all 10 of his extra-point attempts. Bass was a top-five fantasy kicker to begin the season, and while that's proven true so far, he could receive a further boost knowing that quarterback Josh Allen has been tasked with keeping things closer to the vest following a turnover-laced performance vs. the Jets in Week 1.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Scores four points in defeat

    Santos converted his lone field-goal attempt in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Santos is averaging just five points per game as the Chicago offense struggles to put points on the board. Unless the team can solve its offensive woes, Santos will remain a low-upside fantasy option.

  • Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Accurate in return

    Zuerlein (groin) made his only field-goal attempt from 52 yards away and converted his lone PAT attempt in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Patriots.

    Zuerlein didn't miss a beat in his return after missing the previous game due to a groin injury. Wet conditions didn't deter the veteran kicker on a 52-yard field-goal attempt in the second quarter. New York's averaging just 14.0 PPG, so Zuerlein's opportunities will likely remain limited moving forward.

  • Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Good to go Week 3

    Zuerlein (leg) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

    The 35-year-old was considered questionable for Sunday after sitting out Week 2 with the leg injury, and he'll be back on the field after a one-game absence. Zuerlein made 92 percent of his field goals inside 50 yards last year and had a strong showing in the season opener, making all three of his field-goal attempts plus one PAT.

  • Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Trending toward playing

    Zuerlein (leg) is expected to serve as the Jets' kicker for Sunday's game against the Patriots, as New York opted not to elevate Austin Seibert from the practice squad ahead of Saturday's deadline for Week 3 roster moves, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Zuerlein's availability will be confirmed approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Jets release their inactive list. Seibert filled in last week for the veteran and made his only field-goal attempt in the Jets' blowout loss to the Cowboys.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Drills 57-yard FG against 49ers

    Gano made both of his field-goal attempts in Thursday's Week 3 loss to San Francisco.

    The Giants tried for a two-point conversion on their only touchdown, so Gano didn't get a chance to attempt any extra points. However, the veteran kicker hit a 44-yard field goal in the first quarter and converted an attempt from 57 yards out just before halftime. Gano has made all three of his field-goal tries over his past two games and appears to be back on track after an uncharacteristic pair of misses in a season-opening loss to Dallas.

  • Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Questionable despite full practice

    Zuerlein (leg) logged a full practice Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Zuerlein's ability to practice fully Friday puts him in good shape to return after a one-game absence. The veteran kicker steadily increased his participation throughout the week, as Zuerlein was limited Thursday after Wednesday's DNP. Whether the Jets choose to elevate kicker Austin Seibert from the practice squad prior to Sunday's game will be a telling sign regarding Zuerlein's availability, or lack thereof.
