Greg Joseph K | LV
Vikings' Greg Joseph: Struggles versus Packers
Joseph went 1-for-3 on field-goal attempts while making both of his PAT tries in Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Packers.
Joseph made an easy 21-yard field goal early in the first quarter before missing attempts from 46 and 50 yards later in the first half. The missed field goals were his first since Week 8, entering Sunday's contest having gone 13-for-13 over the last eight games, including a 61-yard game winner in Week 16 against the Giants. Joseph has had an up-and-down season, converting 23 out of 30 field-goal tries while also missing five extra-point attempts. The kicker will look to get back on track in the Vikings' regular-season finale in Week 18 as the team travels to face the Bears.

Chase McLaughlin K | TB
Colts' Chase McLaughlin: Converts one field goal in loss
McLaughlin went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts while making his only extra-point try in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Giants.
McLaughlin made a chip-shot 23-yard field goal on the Colts' second possession of the game before later missing a 48-yard try wide right early in the third quarter. The kicker was able to make his only PAT attempt in the third period as well, maintaining a perfect 17-for-17 on extra points this season. Overall, McLaughlin has gone 29-for-35 on field-goal tries this year, good for an 83 percent success rate. He'll look to make at least one field goal for a 15th consecutive game as the Colts take on the Texans in their final contest of the campaign in Week 18.

Patterson was limited to PAT duty through the first three quarters, but he converted a 53-yard field goal during the final stanza to put the finishing touches on Jacksonville's victory. The 23-year-old is 28-for-33 on field-goal attempts and 34-for-35 on PATs through 16 games this season.

Ka'imi Fairbairn K | HOU
Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Logs lone points in loss
Fairbairn converted his lone field-goal attempt in Sunday's 31-3 loss to Jacksonville in Week 17.
Fairbairn's 56-yard field goal in the third quarter prevented Houston from being shut out. The veteran placekicker has bounced back from an injury-marred 2021 to make 93 percent (28 of 30) of his FGAs, including all six from 50 and beyond.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Saints' Wil Lutz: Nails 54-yarder in win
Lutz went 2-for-2 field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries during Sunday's 20-10 victory over Philadelphia.
Lutz split the uprights on a 54-yard attempt to put the Saints up 10-0 midway through the second quarter. This marked the 28-year-old's first attempt of 50 yards or more since Week 5, and he's now gone 4-for-5 on such attempts this season. Lutz will enter the final week of the 2022 campaign converting a career-low 79 percent of his 29 field-goal attempts, though he's been perfect on all 32 of his extra-point tries over 16 games.

Cade York K | NYJ
Browns' Cade York: Makes all kicks
York converted his lone field-goal attempt and all three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 24-10 win over Washington in Week 17.
York gave the Browns a 3-0 first-quarter lead when he buried a 37-yarder. Later in the quarter, he booted a chip shot from 25 yards, but Washington was offside on the play. That prompted head head coach Kevin Stefanski to bring the offense back to go for it on 4th-and goal from the 3-yard line, but Washington stopped them on downs.

Graham Gano K | NYG
Giants' Graham Gano: Perfect in big Week 17 win
Gano converted his lone field-goal try and all five of his extra-point attempts Sunday in the Giants' 38-10 victory versus Indianapolis.
Gano wasn't challenged much in the blowout win, as his lone field-goal try came from 36 yards out. Still, the veteran came through on that attempt as well as on all five of his extra-point tries to help the Giants earn a playoff-clinching victory. Over the past three weeks, Gano has converted all six of his field-goal tries and eight of his extra-point attempts.

Mike Badgley K | BUF
Lions' Michael Badgley: Totals 11 points
Badgley converted two of two field-goal attempts and five of five PATs during Sunday's 41-10 win over the Bears.
Following three consecutive weeks with at least three field-goal tries, Badgley has attempted just three over his past two games combined. At least he was fed a healthy amount of PATs this time around to buoy his fantasy output. Next up for Badgley is a Week 18 matchup with a beatable Packers defense within the outdoor confines of Lambeau Field.
