Chase McLaughlin K | TB
Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Nails only kick Monday
McLaughlin converted his only field-goal attempt from 53 yards out and didn't attempt an extra point during the Buccaneers' 24-9 loss to the Lions on Monday night.
The Buccaneers offense was surprisingly stymied by a short-handed Lions defense for significant portions of the night, and Tampa Bay went for a two-point conversion after its only touchdown, leaving McLaughlin without an extra-point attempt for the first time since Week 18 of the 2023 season. McLaughlin has been less accurate than usual over the first seven games this season with a 14-for-18 tally on field goals, but following Monday's successful make, he's a perfect 6-for-6 on kicks of 50-plus yards.

Lions' Jake Bates: Makes long field goal during MNF
Bates went 1-for-2 on field-goal tries and made all three of his PATs in Monday's 24-9 win over the Buccaneers.
Bates missed a 54-yard field-goal attempt wide left in the late moments of the second quarter before later adding a 58-yard make in the fourth. The kicker has now gone 8-for-11 on field-goal tries, including 2-for-5 from 50-plus yards, while making all 27 of his extra-point attempts over seven games this season.

Jake Moody K | WAS
Bears' Jake Moody: Returns to practice squad
Moody reverted to the Bears' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Moody filled in for Cairo Santos (thigh) for the second straight week, going 4-for-4 on field-goal tries while making both of his PATs in Sunday's 26-14 win over New Orleans. The kicker can be elevated from the practice squad one more time before he'd have to be officially signed to the active roster.

Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Doesn't get an attempt Sunday
Carlson did not attempt a field goal or extra point in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Chiefs.
The Raiders finished with just 95 yards of total offense on 30 plays and 17:52 of possession time. Carlson has gone 11-of-14 on field-goal tries and 8-of-8 on extra-point attempts in 2025, though his opportunities are limited by the Raiders' offensive struggles.

Jude McAtamney K | NYG
Giants' Jude McAtamney: Misses two extra points
McAtamney went 2-for-4 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 33-32 loss to the Broncos.
The kicker missed a PAT in the second quarter and another one in the fourth, leaving the Giants with only a two-point lead as the Broncos got the ball back to try to drive for the winning field goal. McAtamney has filled in for the injured Graham Gano (groin) for four games, and while he has made both field-goal attempts, he is just 7-of-10 on extra-point tries. Gano has sat out the requisite four games, so his possible return from IR is worth monitoring ahead of next Sunday's matchup with the Eagles.

Matt Gay K | SF
Commanders' Matt Gay: Makes two extra points in loss
Gay went 2-for-2 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Cowboys.
The kicker did not get a chance to attempt a field goal. Gay has yet to miss an extra point this year, going 18-for-18, though he has missed four field goals (10-for-14).

Riley Patterson K | MIA
Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Hits two field goals in loss
Patterson went 2-for-2 on field-goal tries in Sunday's 31-6 loss to the Browns.
The kicker's attempts came from 33 and 26 yards, respectively. Patterson is now 9-for-10 on field-goal tries and 15-of-15 on extra-point attempts this year, though his opportunities can be limited on a 1-6 team that sometimes struggles to score.

Jake Elliott K | PHI
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Misses only FGA in win
Elliott missed his only field-goal attempt and made all four of his PATs in Sunday's 28-22 win over the Vikings.
Elliott missed a 42-yard field-goal try in the fourth quarter, which would prove to be his only attempt of the day. The kicker has now attempted one or fewer field goals in six of the team's first seven games this season and ultimately carries a rather low floor from a fantasy perspective.

Andre Szmyt K | CLE
Browns' Andre Szmyt: Makes every kick Sunday
Szmyt went 1-for-1 on field-goal attempts and 4-for-4 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-6 win over the Dolphins.
Szmyt's field goal came from 30 yards out. The Syracuse product is now 10-of-12 on field-goal tries and 11-of-12 on extra-point attempts in 2025. Before Sunday, the Browns had not scored more than 17 points all year, so their kicker is largely dependent on the amount of opportunities he gets.

Ryan Fitzgerald K | CAR
Panthers' Ryan Fitzgerald: Makes two FGAs in win
Fitzgerald made both of his field-goal attempts and an extra-point try in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets.
Fitzgerald made a 30-yard field goal in the first quarter before later adding a make from 29 yards in the third. The kicker has now made multiple field goals in back-to-back contests and three of the last four. Fitzgerald has made 12 of 13 field-goal tries and 13 of 14 PATs over seven games this season.
