  • Broncos' Brandon McManus: Makes lone kick

    McManus converted his only field-goal attempt but didn't have any extra-point tries in Sunday night's 22-9 loss to the Chiefs.

    McManus converted from 42 yards on his lone kick of the evening. The veteran hasn't missed a kick but has managed just seven points over the past two weeks, slowing his scoring pace as he approaches Week 14's game versus the Lions.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Stays on point in Pittsburgh

    Tucker went 2-for-2 on field goals and converted his lone extra-point try Sunday against the Steelers.

    Tucker remained automatic despite playing in one of the most notoriously difficult stadiums for kickers. He made field goals of 35 and 28 yards to extend his streak of games with multiple field goals to three. Tucker goes to another windy road stadium Sunday in Cleveland.

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Costly miss in divisional loss

    Bass was 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and converted his only extra-point try in Monday's 14-10 loss to the Patriots.

    The fourth-quarter miss -- while understandable given the outrageous winds -- really hurt the Bills, as on their next (and final) drive they were well into New England territory but now needed a touchdown to win instead of a field goal, had Bass converted on the previous drive. The four-point output represents Bass's second-lowest game of the season, while his 98 points on the campaign sits tied for fifth among kickers. He'll get a better opportunity to score more and not have winds blowing the ball all over the stadium when the Bills meet the defending champion Buccaneers in Week 14.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Connects on four of five kicks

    Butker connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and one of his two extra-point tries Sunday against the Broncos.

    After missing just one kick through the first nine weeks, Butker has misfired at least once in each of the last three contests. He still hasn't missed on a field goal from inside of 40 yards at this point and has just two missed PATs on his 2021 resume, so there isn't much to worry about at this point. On a positive note, Butker has attempted three or more field goals in each of the last three games after trying no more than two through the first nine games, so there's a reason for optimism regarding his fantasy outlook moving forward.

  • Nick Folk K | ATL

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Accounts for six points

    Folk made both field-goal attempts during Monday night's 14-10 win over the Bills.

    Folk wasn't called upon to attempt a single extra point as a result of Monday's windy conditions, which inspired the Patriots to go for a two-point conversion after their lone touchdown. The veteran kicker could see more action against the Colts on Dec. 18, after New England's bye.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Misses one kick

    Sanders secured two of three field-goal tries and both extra-point attempts during Sunday's win over the Giants.

    Miami's offense has operated with more consistency down the stretch, and as a result Sanders has now logged four straight games with at least two field-goal attempts. After the Dolphins' bye, Sanders stands to face a plus matchup Dec. 19 versus the Jets.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Cardinals' Matt Prater: Connects on all five kicks

    Prater nailed both field-goal attempts and all three point-after tries during Sunday's 33-22 victory at Chicago.

    In the Cardinals' last game back in Week 11 at Seattle, Prater put together his worst showing of the season, missing a pair of field goals and an extra point. This time around, he had veritable layups when Arizona's offense faltered in the red zone, connecting from 33 and 25 yards. The nine-point effort ensured that Prater returned to the top 10 among kickers on a per-game basis (7.6, tied with the Eagles' Jake Elliott). Prater will aim to keep up the momentum next Monday versus the Rams.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Misses long field goal

    Myers missed a 56-yard field goal try but made all three extra-point attempts in Sunday's 30-23 win over the 49ers.

    Myers' longest field goal of the season is 53 yards. We know he has the leg because he made a 61-yarder last season, but he left this one short. It's been a tough year for Myers, as he has connected on nine of 14 field-goal attempts (64 percent) and just four of eight tries from beyond 40 yards (50 percent). The good news is that his next two games are in dome settings (Houston and Los Angeles).

  • Mike Badgley K | BUF

    Colts' Michael Badgley: Misses first field goal with Colts

    Badgley made one of his two field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 31-0 win over the Texans.

    Badgley missed a 35-yard attempt wide left in the first quarter, but he was able to bounce back in the second half to connect on a 23-yarder. Rodrigo Blankenship (hip) remains without a timetable to return, but given the Colts' Week 14 bye, he has a lot of time to recover before Indianapolis returns to action Dec. 18. If Badgley remains the starter in Week 15, he could be in line for a solid workload against the Patriots' stout defense.

  • Nick Folk K | ATL

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Confirmed active for Monday night

    Folk (knee) is listed as active for Monday's game against Buffalo.

    The Patriots' kicker has missed just three of 34 field-goal attempts this season, all three of which came from 50-plus yards. Folk will face a difficult challenge Monday night with forecasts predicting sustained winds of 25-to-35 miles per hour. Both teams may shy away from kicking field goals as a result of the severe weather.
