Joseph made both of his field-goal attempts and extra-point tries in the Vikings' 27-20 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Joseph had only attempted two field goals all season coming into the day, but fortunately for fantasy managers, he saw more action in Week 5 and came through when called upon. The Florida Atlantic product made his first kick from 40 yards out and then followed up with another from 29 yards, making him 4-for-4 on attempts this season. He also remained perfect on PATs, connecting on both to give him a perfect 14-for-14 on the showing for the season in that category. Next up for Joseph and the Vikings is a divisional matchup with the Bears.

Boswell converted all three of his field-goal attempts during the Steelers' 17-10 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

The Steelers' offense largely struggled once again Sunday, but Boswell put the team on the board in the second quarter by making a 43-yard field-goal, and he also drilled two field-goal attempts in the fourth quarter. Boswell had to win a kicking competition in the preseason to retain his job after making just 71.4 percent of his field-goal attempts last year. However, heading into the Steelers' Week 6 bye, he's converted all 10 of his field-goal attempts while making all five of his extra-point tries this season.

Gay connected on all three field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Titans.

A week after missing his only FGA, Gay was able to connect from 43, 35 and 28 yards out in a perfect 3-for-3 performance. He's now 9-of-10 on the season heading into a matchup with the Jaguars in Week 6.

Koo made both of his field-goal attempts and his only point-after try during Sunday's 21-19 win over the Texans.

Koo was off to a shaky start this year, but he put those concerns behind him with a quality performance versus Houston. He wasn't asked to go beyond his range, which helps, but this is exactly the type of production we've come to expect from the sixth-year kicker. Koo has never had the biggest leg, but he consistently makes the kicks he should and has been lights out with the game on the line, sinking eight game-winning kicks over the past three years.

McPherson made both of his field-goal attempts and all four extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-20 win over the Cardinals.

With the Bengals able to find the end zone multiple times in Week 5, McPherson was able to kick as many PATs as he had all season, going 4-for-4 and bringing his season total to 8-for-8. Both of his FGAs were good from 40 yards out, leaving him perfect on the year on field-goal tries under 50 yards, and 9-for-11 overall. Next up for McPherson and the Bengals is a Week 6 matchup with the Seahawks.

Aubrey converted his only extra-point attempt and a 50-yard field goal in Sunday's loss to the 49ers.

The rookie kicker was once again perfect, but the struggles of the Dallas offense in San Francisco gave him few opportunities to showcase his skills. Aubrey has drilled 14 straight FG attempts to begin his NFL career and 10 straight PATs after missing his very first one, and he figures to be a lot busier in Week 6 against the Chargers.

Fairbairn converted all four field-goal attempts and one extra-point kick in Sunday's 21-19 loss to Atlanta in Week 5.

This was Fairbairn's third consecutive week with double-digit points. The eight-year veteran made kicks from 38, 43, 28 and 42 yards, upping his season accuracy rate to 94 percent (15-of-16). Fairbairn's 11 points per week could help any fantasy team.

Gano made three of four field-goal attempts and converted his only extra-point try against Miami in a loss Sunday.

The Giants mostly struggled on offense again, with their only TD coming on a second-quarter pick-six. However, they were at least able to move the ball enough to give Gano four field-goal tries, and he connected on three of them, including on a 51-yarder in the fourth quarter. The veteran kicker did miss an attempt for the first time since Week 1, though it was a tough try from 55 yards out. This was the first time Gano has been given more than two field-goal opportunities in a game this season; despite his big leg, it will be hard for him to score many points if the team's offense continues to struggle.

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.

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.
