Carlson made his only field-goal try but did not attempt an extra point in Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Bears.

Carlson converted from 31 yards on his lone kick of the game, but his decreased opportunities have now seen him post just five points over his last two outings. That recent decline suddenly places Carlson outside the top 10 among kickers league-wide in points (39) through five games.

Butker made both his field-goal attempts and both his extra-point tries in Sunday night's 38-20 loss to the Bills.

Butker converted from 38 yards to open the scoring before drilling a 54-yarder to end the first half. With eight points total Sunday, he brought his season tally to 34 through five games, surprisingly leaving him in the middle of the pack among kickers league-wide thus far.

Bass made his only field-goal attempt as well as all five of his extra-point tries in Sunday night's 38-20 win over the Chiefs.

Bass converted from 30 yards on his lone field goal, which along with his handful of PATs allowed the second-year kicker to remain atop the league in points (52) at his position this season.

Tucker made his only field-goal try but did not attempt an extra point in Monday night's 31-25 overtime win against the Colts.

Tucker converted from 23 yards on his lone attempt Monday, when the Ravens utilized two-point conversions to make a historic comeback. Despite his quiet outing in Week 5, Tucker is still tied for sixth league-wide in points among kickers this season.

Prater missed one of his two field-goal attempts but made both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 17-10 win over the 49ers.

Prater's lone misfire came on an ambitious 61-yard attempt as the first half expired. Prior to then, he converted on a 21-yarder during the second quarter. With five total points Sunday, Prater now boasts 43 on the season, currently ranking fifth in the category among kickers league-wide.

Wright reverted back to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Wright operated as the primary kicker Sunday, as Josh Lambo (coach's decision) was inactive. However, he failed to take advantage of the opportunity, as he hit the upright on a PAT during the first quarter and left a 53-yard field goal short.

Sanders converted his only field-goal try and both extra-point attempts during Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers.

The Dolphins' offense once again failed to provide Sanders with many opportunities, but he remains steadfast when called upon. The fourth-year pro has only missed one field-goal attempt all season, but he's also only had six opportunities through five games.

Elliott made both of his field-goal attempts as well as his only extra-point try in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Panthers.

Elliott now has back-to-back games with at least two field goals for the first time in more than a year. He's missed just one kick out of 18 this season, including extra points.

McManus connected on both of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Steelers.

McManus made field goals from 29 and 39 yards Sunday. With this performance, the veteran kicker continues without a miss in the 2021 campaign. Up next, the Broncos host a Raiders team giving up an average of 24 points per game to start the season, which could give McManus ample opportunity to keep his streak alive.

Blankenship played through a hip injury suffered during the first quarter of Monday night's game against Baltimore, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

Blankenship obviously wasn't right after suffering the injury, missing one of two extra points and two of four field goal attempts. One of his field goal misses would have won his team the game as time expired. It's currently unclear if the injury will force Blankenship to miss time, but the Colts will likely audition other placekickers heading into Week 6 against the Texans.
