  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Costly mistakes in narrow win

    Sanders converted one of three field-goal tries and all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday night's 24-17 win over the Patriots.

    Sanders had a 49-yard attempt blocked in the third quarter, then missed wide left from 55 yards out late in the fourth quarter with a chance to essentially secure Miami's victory. Neither of Sanders' failed field-goal tries were easy attempts, of course. He will have a chance to get right Week 3 versus the Broncos.

    Giants' Graham Gano: Bounces back with game-winning FG

    Gano made his only field-goal attempt and all four extra-point tries against the Cardinals in a Week 2 win Sunday.

    Gano, and the Giants as a whole, had a miserable Week 1, as the veteran kicker missed both of his field-goal tries and suffered an ankle injury to boot in the 40-0 loss against Dallas. However, Gano was able to recover in time to take the field Week 2 and looked to be back in form, drilling the game-winning field goal from 34 yards out with less than 20 seconds on the clock to cap a furious New York comeback. Despite his struggles in the season-opener, Gano has earned a reputation as one of the league's most reliable kickers after making 89 of 97 field-goal tries (including 20 of 25 from 50-plus yards) over the previous three campaigns.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Misses field goal in loss

    Fairbairn converted two of three field-goal attempts and both extra-point kicks in Sunday's 31-20 loss to the Colts in Week 2.

    Fairbairn made a couple of chip shots from 29 and 36 yards but was wide left from 51 yards with just over two minutes left in the game. Had he made the kick, Houston would have been down by one score with a chance to tie the game late. Still, it's hard to lay any blame on Fairbairn's leg. The defense was carved up by Gardner Minshew after Anthony Richardson ran for two touchdowns, before he was removed from the game due to a concussion. And the offense didn't get in gear until the fourth quarter. Fairbairn has three field-goal attempts in each of the first two contests.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Tough sledding

    Myers connected on one of three field-goal attempts and all four extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-31 overtime win versus the Lions.

    Myers missed kicks from 45 and 56 yards despite playing in the comfort of a dome. The 32-year-old has already missed three kicks this season, matching last year's total through just two games. He'll aim to get back on track at home versus the Panthers in Week 3.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Scores five points in loss

    Santos made his lone field-goal attempt in the Bears' 27-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Santos remains one of the most accurate kickers in the NFL, but his fantasy production remains inconsistent due to the Bears offense. Unless Chicago can begin to put more points on the scoreboard, Santos will struggle to crack the top-12 fantasy kickers.

  • Jets' Austin Seibert: Picked up by Jets

    Seibert signed with the Jets' practice squad and was elevated to the active roster Saturday, and he's expected to kick in place of Greg Zuerlein (groin) in Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Seibert kicked in three games for the Lions last season. He went 3-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 12-for-12 on extra points. The veteran has had also had stints with the Browns and Bengals. He has mainly been a fill-in option for teams since starting 16 games in Cleveland during his rookie campaign in 2019. Seibert will revert back to the practice squad Monday.

  • Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Not playing Sunday

    Zuerlein (groin) has been downgraded to out and will not play Sunday against the Cowboys.

    The Jets chose to sign Austin Seibert to the practice squad to replace Zuerlein. Expect more news to surface regarding Zuerlein's availability for future weeks in due time.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Good from 61 yards

    Elliott converted all four of his extra-point attempts and two of his three field-goal tries in Thursday's victory over the Vikings.

    While Elliott did miss one kick, a miss from 55 yards is hardly unforgivable, especially when Elliott converted a 61-yarder as time expired in the first half. The distance was impressive, though arguably more important for his fantasy value was the fact that he was again fairly busy. After only once attempting three or more field goals in a game last year, Elliott has done that in each of the first two weeks this season.

  • Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Questionable with groin injury

    Zuerlein (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Dallas, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Zuerlein didn't practice Friday while tending to a groin injury in his right (kicking) leg. The Jets are expected to sign a kicker to their practice squad Friday or Saturday to have an insurance option on hand in the event that Zuerlein isn't able to play in Sunday's game, which kicks off at 4:25 p.m. ET. Zuerlein is coming off a productive Week 1 game in which he knocked down his lone extra-point attempt and all three of his field-goal tries in the Jets' 22-16 overtime win over the Bills.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Cleared for Week 2

    Gano (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Gano sustained a right ankle injury in this past Sunday's 40-0 loss to the Cowboys, which may have contributed to him having a 45-yard attempt blocked and returned for a touchdown in the first quarter and pushing a 36-yard attempt wide left in the second quarter. The veteran kicker was limited in practices Wednesday and Thursday, but after upgrading to full activity Friday, the Giants are apparently convinced he'll be ready to go for their Week 2 matchup. Gano will get a favorable spot to rebound against a Cardinals squad that allowed 21 first downs to a below-average Commanders offense in the season opener.
