  • Mike Badgley K | BUF

    Chargers' Michael Badgley: Bounces back with game-winner

    Badgley made all four of his field-goal attempts as well as his only extra-point try in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Broncos.

    Badgley converted from 37, 43, 25 and 37 yards on his respective field goals, with his final one clinching victory for the Chargers with just under a minute remaining. After recent miscues, Badgley will be pleased by his performance Sunday, which also netted him a season-high 13 points. He'll now aim to close the season strong in Week 17 versus the Chiefs.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Clean outing against Giants

    Tucker connected on both field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Giants.

    Tucker missed a kick in three straight games leading up to Week 16, but he bounced back with a perfect outing Sunday. Both field-goal tries came from within 30 yards. Tucker has made just 25 field goals this season, and he'll need to make at least three in the season finale against the Bengals to avoid a career low in the category.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Minimal usage in Week 16

    Butker knocked home his lone field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point attempts in Week 16 versus the Falcons.

    Butker's run of perfection in the kicking game extended to six straight games Sunday, with Butker going 10-for-10 on field goals and 18-for-18 on extra points over that span. He should have a few opportunities to add to his perfect streak in the regular-season finale, but it's worth noting that the Chiefs could rest some of the usual starters with the No. 1 seed in the AFC already locked up.

  • Nick Folk K | ATL

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Hits 45-yard FG

    Folk made his only field-goal attempt (from 45 yards) and missed an extra point in Monday night's 38-9 loss to the Bills.

    Through 15 games, Folk has made 26 of his 28 field goal attempts, while hitting 26 of 29 extra-point tries, for a total of 104 points. He's a hit-or-miss fantasy option heading into Week 17, given the inconsistencies of New England's offense.

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Stays true in dominant win

    Bass made his lone field-goal attempt -- a 22-yarder -- as well as all five of his extra-point tries in Monday's 38-9 win over the Patriots.

    Bass has been the recipient of extra opportunities lately as the Buffalo offense is clicking on all cylinders. He's also started to put together a nice stat line following a rocky start to his rookie season, as he now sits with a 28-for-34 (82 percent) mark on field-goal attempts and is 49-of-51 on extra-point tries. Bass is fourth in the league in scoring with 133 points.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Makes all three kicks in Week 16

    Elliott made his lone field-goal attempt as well as both extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Cowboys.

    The Eagles got up early on the Cowboys, and it looked like Elliott might have one of his bigger games of the season. Unfortunately, he was not called on again after his 38-yard field goal with 3:44 remaining in the first half.

  • Broncos' Brandon McManus: Has costly miss

    McManus converted an extra point and field goals of 30, 50 and 52 yards during Sunday's 19-16 loss at the Chargers.

    McManus' leg from 50-plus yards kept the Broncos in the game Sunday, but it was his uncharacteristic miss earlier that contributed to the Broncos' loss. McManus shanked a 42-yard attempt early in the second quarter, and, after the play was called back for a defensive offsides, McManus hit the upright on the 37-yard retry. It was McManus' first miss from inside 40 yards since Week 5 of the 2017 season. He'll look to start a new streak Sunday against Las Vegas, against which McManus converted an extra point and field goals of 50 and 33 yards in Week 10.

  • Matthew Wright: Moved back to practice squad

    Wright reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Wright converted on all four of his point-after tries during Sunday's win over Indianapolis, though he was not afforded a field-goal attempt in the contest. The 24-year-old has been reliable over two appearances this season, knocking down all six of his PATs while draining his lone field-goal try of 37 yards Week 13 against Washington. As Chris Boswell continues to deal with a groin injury, there remains a chance of Wright being activated for Pittsburgh's regular-season finale at Cleveland.

  • Matt Gay K | LV

    Rams' Matt Gay: Hits all three kicks in loss

    Gay connected on all three of his field-goal attempts during Sunday's 20-9 loss to Seattle.

    The sophomore kicker has now hit all six of his field-goal attempts and all five of his extra-point kicks over the past three weeks. Before setting Gay into fantasy lineups in Week 17, it will be important to check on Los Angeles' quarterback situation, as Jared Goff (thumb) underwent surgery Monday.

  • Nick Folk K | ATL

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Gets nod for MNF

    Folk (back) is listed as active heading into Monday's night game against the Bills.

    Folk was labeled as questionable entering the day, but a Week 16 activation keeps the 36-year-old without a missed game on the 2020 campaign. He's been reliable in his second season kicking for the Patriots, knocking down 25 of 27 field-goal tries. A 92.6 percent conversion rate this season represents a substantial improvement from Folk's career 81.4 percent mark.
