Elliott did not attempt a field goal in Sunday's 33-22 loss to the Raiders. He was perfect on his two extra-point tries.

Elliott has one or zero field-goal attempts in three of his last five games. He has a nice matchup on tap in Week 8 against the Lions, however.

Carlson made both of his field-goal attempts and converted three of four extra-point tries in Sunday's 33-22 win over the Eagles.

Carlson failed to convert just four total extra-point attempts throughout his first 44 games as a Raider, but he's now missed a pair over his past five contests. Nonetheless, he's accounted for 58 total points through the first seven weeks of the regular season.

Prater made his only field-goal attempt and all four point-after tries during Sunday's 31-5 win versus the Texans.

Prater's seven points were his second fewest of the season -- tied with Week 3 at Jacksonville -- but he remains embedded in the top five in scoring in the NFL at nine points per game (tied with the Patriots' Nick Folk). As a beneficiary of the Cardinals' Kyler Murray-led offense, Prater can continue to be utilized in lineups on a weekly basis, including Thursday's showdown with the Packers.

The Saints didn't activate Lutz (core) from injured reserve Monday, making him ineligible to play Week 8 at Seattle, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Lutz was designated to return from IR last Monday, but one week wasn't enough for him to get back to 100 percent from the core muscle surgery he underwent in early August. He'll thus aim to be available Sunday against the Buccaneers, but in the meantime New Orleans will roll with undrafted rookie Brian Johnson at kicker.

Slye went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts but missed his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Colts.

Slye had to deal with rough weather in Santa Clara on Sunday, as winds were swirling and the rain was continuous throughout the entire contest. While the 25-year-old missed an extra point, he did manage to hit an impressive 56-yard field goal in the poor conditions. Robbie Gould (groin) will be forced to miss at least one more contest, so Slye is lined up to get another start against the Bears next Sunday.

Badgley converted his only field-goal attempt from 43 yards and made all three extra-point attempts in Sunday's win at San Francisco.

Badgley converting all four kicks was no small feat given the the rainy and windy conditions. With Rodrigo Blankenship (hip) landing on injured reserve prior to the Week 6 contest, Badgley will continue to be Indy's placekicker. However, it's not clear when Blankenship may return.

Folk made both of his field-goal attempts (including a 50-yarder) en route to recording 12 points in Sunday's 54-13 win over the Jets.

Folk continues to manage a left knee issue that has had him listed as questionable in advance of the Patriots' last four contests, but it's something that he's been able to work through. We don't expect that to change in Week 8, when the Patriots face the 4-2 Chargers on the road.

Gay connected on two field-goal kicks and both extra-point attempts during Sunday's 28-19 win over Detroit.

Gay has now missed just a single field goal and single extra point through seven games to start the year, and he's established himself as a go-to option at kicker in most settings. It's also worth noting that Los Angeles doesn't have its bye until Week 11.

McPherson converted both of his field-goal attempts while making all five of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 41-17 win over the Ravens.

McPherson was successful from 52 and 30 yards out in the first half, but he didn't attempt a field goal after halftime, as the Bengals found the end zone on all four of their scoring drives in the second half. The rookie out of Florida started 5-for-8 on field-goal attempts through five games but has gone 4-for-4 over the last two.

Gano converted all three field-goal attempts and a pair of PAT tries in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Panthers.

With New York's defense stymieing Sam Darnold and the Panthers, the offense pulled away late on another busy afternoon for Gano. The former Carolina kicker has now converted 15 of his league-leading 17 field-goal attempts, as a Giants offense that moves the ball well but struggles to punch it in has provided ideal conditions for the accurate Gano to thrive.
