McManus didn't attempt a field goal in Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Ravens but made his only PAT attempt.

McManus didn't get the opportunity to kick any field goals Sunday, as the Denver offense struggled to move the ball throughout most of the contest. The 30-year-old kicker will look to make the most of his opportunities while continuing his perfect streak in a Week 5 matchup against the Steelers.

McLaughlin made two of two field-goal attempts and was not asked to kick an extra point in Sunday's 14-7 win over the Vikings.

McLaughlin, who has not missed a kick yet, converted from 48 and 53 yards in the win. It was his third successful attempt from beyond the 50. The Browns lined up for an extra-point kick following their lone touchdown, but a defensive delay-of-game penalty changed their thinking. With the penalty enforced, Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski opted to go for a two-pointer from the one-yard line, and the team was successful.

Boswell converted his lone field-goal attempt while making both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Packers.

Boswell missed a kick in last week's loss to Cincinnati, but he got back on track in Week 4 by making three kicks, including a 52-yard field goal in the second quarter. The veteran has made 85.7 percent of his field-goal attempts while converting each of his seven extra-point tries across the first four games of the 2021 campaign.

Folk (left knee) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Buccaneers.

Folk's knee issue led to him being limited at practice this week, but he remains the only kicker on the Patriots' active roster and now will look to extend his team-record streak of 35 straight made field-goal attempts. Three games into the 2021 season, Folk has notched 30 points, while connecting on all nine of his FG tries.

Santos converted a field goal and three extra points in the Bears' 24-14 win over the Lions on Sunday.

With just one game of more than six points, Santos hasn't provided enough scoring to be considered a strong fantasy option.

Fairbairn was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Fairbairn missed the first three games while recovering from a leg injury, but the 27-year-old will make his return Week 4 in what figures to be a difficult matchup against a tough Buffalo defense. Fairbairn will replace Joey Slye, who was waived earlier this week after going 11-of-13 on total kicks to start the season.

Wright has reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad per the NFL's transaction log.

Wright replaced Josh Lambo (personal) on the team's active roster for Thursday's Week 4 loss to the Bengals. He converted all of his PATs and did not attempt a field goal during the contest.

Folk (left knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Buccaneers after practicing in a limited fashion this week.

Though the Patriots had Brett Maher and Riley Patterson in for workouts, Folk remains the only kicker on the team's active roster, with Quinn Nordin (abdomen) currently on IR. If Folk's Week 4 status indeed is in any danger, a roster move would need to occur, so until or unless that happens, pencil him in to be a go Sunday night.

Joseph (hip) isn't listed on the injury report heading into Sunday's game against the Browns.

Joseph was limited in practice Thursday but should suit up against Cleveland. He has missed only once on seven field-goal attempts this season, but it was a costly one, as Joseph's misfire from 37 yards out on the game's final play led to Minnesota's 34-33 Week 2 loss to Arizona.

Wright made all three of his PATs and did not attempt a field goal during Thursday's 24-21 loss to the Bengals.

The 25-year-old was promoted from the practice squad to kick Thursday with Josh Lambo (personal) unavailable, and he delivered on the few opportunities he had versus Cincinnati. Wright is poised to revert to the practice squad, but he could receive a longer look from the Jags given Lambo is 0-for-3 on field goals and 5-for-7 on PATs through three games this season.
