Myers hit all 10 of his field-goal tries from beyond 40 yards this season before missing a 41-yarder in the win over the Jets. The 31-year-old has been excellent this season, hitting 30 of 32 field-goal tries (94 percent) and 40 of 41 extra-point attempts (98 percent).

Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Makes all kicks
Pineiro made his only field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Buccaneers.

Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Another lengthy miss in Week 17
Zuerlein made two of three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Seahawks.
Zuerlein capped consecutive first-half drives with 44-yard field goals, but he failed to convert from 57 yards out on the opening possession of the second half with New York looking to make it a one-score game. The banged-up Jets' offensive struggles have limited Zuerlein's opportunities in recent weeks, and New York has been eliminated from playoff contention heading into the regular-season finale against the Dolphins.

Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Boots 57-yarder in overtime loss
Carlson made a pair of field goals and converted all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the 49ers.
Carlson's productive performance was highlighted by a 57-yard field goal that tied the contest at 27 apiece with less than five minutes remaining. He's now made 10 of 12 attempts from 50-plus this season, gaining momentum ahead of a Week 18 matchup against the Chiefs at home in Allegiant Stadium.

Matt Gay K | LV
Rams' Matt Gay: Puts up dud
Gay connected on a 23-yard field goal and made his only extra-point attempt during Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Chargers.
A week removed from the best game of the season for the sure-legged kicker, Gay's prospects at repeating his performance appeared promising, as the Chargers defense looked to pose less of a threat than the Broncos defense that the Rams tore apart in Week 16. Aside from a chip-shot field goal to close out the first quarter, however, Gay would only find one other opportunity to produce points, booting a PAT after Malcolm Brown punched in a 21-yard rushing touchdown. The Rams will be looking to play spoiler in Week 18 to a Seahawks team fighting for the final wild-card spot in the NFC; Gay booted three field goals and two extra points in the team's first matchup in Week 13, giving fantasy managers some hope of a rebound performance.

Jason Sanders K | NYJ
Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Costly miss in narrow loss
Sanders missed his only field-goal attempt and converted all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 23-21 loss to New England.
Sanders failed to convert a 51-yard attempt in a divisional loss that saw Miami fall by just two points, now putting him at just 1-for-5 on 50-plus yard field-goal tries this season. He will attempt to record more production versus the Jets in Week 18.

Cardinals' Matt Prater: Heavily involved in Week 17
Prater went 4-for-5 on field-goal tries and made his only PAT attempt in Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Falcons.
Prater was busy again Sunday, making multiple field goals for the fourth consecutive game. The 38-year-old was able to convert a 38-yard field goal in the first quarter and a 36-yarder in each of the second and third quarters before later adding a 57-yard boot in the final period. His only miss came late in the third when he sailed a 43-yard try wide left. Prater has gone 12-for-14 on field-goal attempts over the last four contests, raising his season total to 22 makes over 25 tries while appearing in 12 games.

Patriots' Nick Folk: Nails only field goal in win
Folk converted his only field-goal try while going 2-for-3 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 23-21 victory over the Dolphins.
After missing both of his extra-point attempts in the Patriots' Week 16 loss to the Bengals, Folk was able to nail a 49-yard field goal in the third quarter of Sunday's contest. The kicker did miss a PAT in the contest, and he has now gone 2-for-5 on extra points over the last two weeks after starting the season a perfect 28-for-28. On the campaign, the 38-year-old has converted 31 of 36 field-goal tries, including 4-for-5 from 50 or more yards.

Commanders' Joey Slye: Makes only field goal in Week 17
Slye made one field goal and one PAT during Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns.
Slye was able to convert an extra-point attempt in the first half before later adding a 43-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. The kicker has had limited opportunities in recent weeks, going 3-for-3 on field goals over his last three games. After struggling to maintain a roster spot in 2021, Slye has earned a look moving forward after he's converted 23 out of 26 field-goal tries over 16 games with the Commanders this season.

Chris Boswell K | PIT
Steelers' Chris Boswell: Makes four kicks in primetime
Boswell converted three of four field-goal attempts while making his lone extra-point try during the Steelers' 16-13 win over Baltimore on Sunday.
Boswell had a 48-yard field-goal attempt hit the right upright late in the second quarter Sunday, but he managed to make three total field goals, including a 51-yarder in the third quarter. Although he matched his highest total of field goals made in a single game this season, he's now missed at least one field-goal attempt in three of his four appearances since returning from a groin injury. During those four games, he's made six of 10 field-goal attempts while converting all seven of his extra-point tries.
