Joey Slye K | TEN
Titans' Joey Slye: Locks in for regular season
Slye made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point attempts in Friday's 23-13 preseason win over the Vikings.
Slye has had limited opportunities and showed some inconsistency early in the preseason, but he was excellent with his opportunity in Friday's win. He made field goals from 53 and 63 yards away, and looks to be locked in as Tennessee's kicker heading into the regular season.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Broncos' Wil Lutz: Perfect on kicks
Lutz made all three of his field-goal tries while converting his lone extra-point attempt in Saturday's 28-19 win over the Saints.
Lutz connected on field goals from 25, 29 and 32 yards out Saturday in the Broncos preseason finale against New Orleans. The veteran kicker enters his third season with the Broncos in 2025 and will look to build upon his excellent 91 percent field-goal percentage from last season, the second-highest mark of his career. The season is a contract year for the 31-year-old, as he is set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2026. With the Broncos projected to take another step forward on offense in quarterback Bo Nix's second season, Lutz could see even more opportunities in scoring range during the 2025 campaign.

Chad Ryland K | ARI
Cardinals' Chad Ryland: Perfect on four kicks Saturday
Ryland converted both field-goal attempts and extra-point tries in the Cardinals' 20-10 preseason win over the Raiders on Saturday night.
Ryland knocked home 23- and 30-yard field goals in the second and fourth quarter, respectively, allowing him to finish the preseason with an unblemished resume. The 2023 fourth-round pick of the Patriots was 4-for-4 with a long of 50 yards on field goals during the three-game exhibition slate and also went 5-for-5 on PATs, and he heads into the regular season as the Cardinals' starting placekicker after impressing in place of an injured Matt Prater down the stretch in 2024.

Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Perfect in preseason finale
Dicker made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point attempts in Saturday's 30-23 preseason loss to the 49ers.
Dicker converted attempts of 52, 37 and 27 yards, and he has not missed a kick since the Hall of Fame Game. He's locked in as the Chargers' kicker entering the regular season and has converted over 90 percent of his field-goal attempts in each of the last two years with the Chargers.

Tyler Bass K | BUF
Bills' Tyler Bass: Busy night in preseason debut
Bass converted three of four field-goal attempts and made both extra-point tries in the Bills' 23-19 preseason win over the Buccaneers on Saturday night.
Bass had missed the Bills' first two preseason tilts due to a pelvic injury, but the veteran kicker looked to be in midseason form in his first game action of any kind since January. Bass connected on attempts from 37, 37 and 39 yards before misfiring on his shortest try of the night, a 26-yarder late in the fourth quarter that he missed wide right. Chris Brown of the team's official site reports head coach Sean McDermott confirmed Bass was limited to a distance of 48 yards in his first game back, but added that the coaches would "continue to bring him along this week." Given Saturday's performance, Bass looks set to reprise his fantasy-friendly role as the Bills' placekicker beginning with a Week 1 Sunday night home showdown against the Ravens.

Jason Sanders K | MIA
Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Expected back by Week 1
Coach Mike McDaniel said Saturday that Sanders (undisclosed) is expected to be fine for Miami's Week 1 game against the Colts on Sept. 7, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Sanders didn't kick for Miami in its preseason finale Saturday, though McDaniel didn't specify what is plaguing the kicker. Sanders made 37 of 41 field-goal tries, including 12 of 14 from 50-plus yards, across 17 regular-season games last season. He also converted 26 of 28 extra-point attempts.

Cam Little K | JAC
Jaguars' Cam Little: Impressive in preseason finale
Little converted both of his field-goal attempts in Saturday's 14-6 preseason loss to the Dolphins.
Little accounted for all of Jacksonville's scoring, nailing kicks from 59 and 43 yards away. He also made a 70-yard field goal in Jacksonville's first preseason contest, so he appears more than ready to handle kicking duties in Jacksonville's regular-season opener against the Panthers. Little is coming off an impressive rookie campaign, as he converted 27 of his 29 field goals, including 13 of 15 from 40 yards or more.

Evan McPherson K | CIN
Bengals' Evan McPherson: Boots pair of PATs in loss
McPherson knocked through both of his extra-point tries and did not log any field-goal attempts in the Bengals' 41-14 preseason loss to the Colts on Saturday afternoon.
The fifth-year pro is coming off a 2024 downturn that saw him convert a career-low 72.7 percent of his field-goal attempts, but he seems poised for a bounce-back campaign if his preseason performance is any indication. McPherson saw time in all three of the Bengals' exhibitions and converted his three field-goal attempts and nine PATs over that span, and his association with a prolific Joe Burrow-led offense therefore makes the talented kicker's outlook bright heading into the 2025 season.

Brandon Aubrey K | DAL
Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Shows off leg in preseason finale
Aubrey connected on his only field goal attempt and all four of his extra points in Friday's 31-13 preseason win over the Falcons.
Aubrey showed he was ready for the regular season with another jaw-dropping kick, as he drilled a 64-yard FG right at the end of the first half. Heading into his third NFL season, the Notre Dame product remains the league's preeminent kicker from long distance after converting 14 of 17 attempts from 50 yards or longer in 2024. If Dak Prescott can stay healthy and lead the Cowboys' offense to a better overall performance this year, it might turn some of those desperation FGs into PATs, but Aubrey figures to be extremely productive regardless -- after leading the league with 157 points as a rookie in 2023, he finished second behind Pittsburgh's Chris Boswell last year with 150.

Harrison Mevis K | NYJ
Jets' Harrison Mevis: Misses 55-yard attempt Friday
Mevis missed his only field-goal attempt from 55 yards in Friday's 19-17 preseason loss to the Eagles.
Mevis has a bigger leg than Nick Folk, but the latter's accuracy already had Folk pegged as the favorite in the Jets' kicking competition, and Friday's results may have sealed the deal for Folk, who made his only field-goal attempt from 41 yards. The Jets will almost certainly cut down to one kicker prior to the Sept. 7 regular-season opener against the Steelers.
