Jake Moody K | WAS
49ers' Jake Moody: Stays perfect in win
Moody went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on point-after tries in Thursday's 30-12 win over the Giants.
Moody has been perfect to begin his pro career by converting all 18 kicking opportunities presented to him through three games. Thursday's FG attempts were of the chip-shot variety, coming from 21, 28 and 36 yards, but the rookie was able to show off his driver on a 57-yard conversion in Week 2. Moody has quickly become one of the top kicking options in fantasy behind San Francisco's high-octane offense. The Michigan product will look to continue his early success in a plus matchup against the Cardinals on Oct. 1.

Greg Zuerlein K | NYJ
Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Set to practice Friday
Zuerlein (groin) will kick at practice Friday, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
Zuerlein returned to limited practice participation Thursday and will again test out the groin injury that kept him sidelined in Week 2 against Dallas and in practice Wednesday. If the veteran kicker shows that he's over the injury in practice Friday, he would likely return to action Sunday against the Patriots. Should Zuerlein require more recovery time, Austin Seibert would be in line to get elevated from the practice squad for a second consecutive game.

Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Back to practicing Thursday
Zuerlein (groin) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
Zuerlein was forced to sit out due to his groin injury in Week 2, but his presence at practice Thursday is a step in the right direction ahead of Week 3. He'll still probably need to practice in full Friday in order to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Absent from Wednesday's practice
Zuerlein (groin) didn't practice Wednesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Zuerlein remains bothered by the groin injury that prevented him from suiting up in this past Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. Austin Seibert was signed to the practice squad and subsequently made his only field-goal attempt in Week 2 after being elevated in Zuerlein's absence. If Zuerlein hasn't fully healed in advance of this weekend's matchup the Patriots, Seibert would be in line for another elevation from the practice squad.

Chris Boswell K | PIT
Steelers' Chris Boswell: Perfect in victory
Boswell converted both of his field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries during the Steelers' 26-22 win over the Browns on Monday.
Boswell didn't see much work during the Steelers' blowout loss in the regular-season opener, but he converted two field-goal attempts from at least 50 yards during Monday's primetime victory. Boswell has had nine attempts from 50-plus yards in each of the past two seasons, and it was encouraging to see him make both of his attempts Monday. The 32-year-old converted just 71.4 percent of his field-goal attempts last year but has had a solid start to 2023 despite seeing limited work over Pittsburgh's first two games.

Dustin Hopkins K | CLE
Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Misses first kick
Hopkins converted two of three field-goal attempts and was not needed for extra-point kicks in Monday's 26-22 loss to the Steelers.
Hopkins' makes from 43 and 55 yards bookended a 43-yarder that went wide left. He lined up for an extra-point kick, but Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski opted for a two-point conversation after a Pittsburgh penalty. The Browns went for two points following their other touchdown. Hopkins has made five of six FGA and his lone XPA following the team's wild ride with Cade York.
