  • Taylor Russolino: Demoted to practice squad

    Russolino reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Russolino endured a disastrous day filling in at kicker Saturday against the Bills with Brandon McManus residing on the reserve/COVID-19 list for Week 15. The XFL standout made just one of three point-after attempts, missing his lone field-goal try of 51 yards.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Misses only field-goal attempt

    Sanders missed his lone field-goal try but converted both extra-point attempts during Sunday's 22-12 win over the Patriots.

    Sanders' lone attempt came from 52 yards out at the end of the second quarter, but the ball sailed wide left. Saturday's upcoming road game against the Raiders figures to provide more scoring opportunities, particularly if some of Miami's top weapons can get healthy. All of DeVante Parker (hamstring), Myles Gaskin (COVID-19 list) and Mike Gesicki (shoulder) were absent versus New England.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Saints' Wil Lutz: Nails three extra points

    Lutz made all three of his extra-point attempts in the Saints' 32-29 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Lutz had another disappointing game, though this week it was due to a lack of opportunity and not two missed field goals. Lutz has been tough to trust for fantasy purposes in recent weeks, but he'll get a solid draw with Minnesota in Week 16.

  • Football Team's Dustin Hopkins: Misses extra point

    Hopkins made a 48-yard field goal but missed his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Seahawks.

    Hopkins made his 12th field goal from beyond 40 yards this season, and he's now 12 for 18 from that range. The veteran kicker has now made 23 of 30 field-goal tries and 27 of 29 extra-point attempts this season. While Hopkins has been a bit inconsistent this season, this was the first time since Week 7 that he failed to connect on two or more field-goal tries. He'll look to get back on track in Week 16 against the Panthers.

  • Cowboys' Greg Zuerlein: Big day in wild win

    Zuerlein converted two of his three field-goal attempts and all five of his extra points in Sunday's 41-33 win over the 49ers.

    His 60-yard attempt at the end of the first half drifted wide right, but otherwise Zuerlein took full advantage of his largest volume of the season, as the Cowboys scored 40 or more points for the first time since Dak Prescott (ankle) got hurt. The veteran kicker has seen at least three FG attempts in four straight games and six of the last seven, giving him significant upside in Week 16's clash with the Eagles.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Scores six points

    Gano made both field-goal attempts in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Browns.

    Gano made kicks from 39 and 37 yards, putting up the Giants' only points in Week 15. The 33-year-old kicker continues to be automatic this year, as he's connected on 28 of 29 field-goal tries and has only misfired from 57 yards. He'll look to keep the hot streak alive in Week 16 against the Ravens.

  • Nick Folk K | ATL

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Lone scorer in divisional loss

    Folk connected on all four field-goal attempts in Sunday's 22-12 loss to the Dolphins.

    Folk made two field goals from 45 yards out, and he added kicks from 42 and 35 yards as well. The veteran kicker was the Patriots' only scorer Sunday. He continues to be extremely dependable; he's converted 25 of 27 field goals (93 percent), including 12 kicks from beyond 40 yards. He'll look to keep it rolling in Week 16 against the Bills.

  • Colts' Rodrigo Blankenship: Drills 53-yarder

    Blankenship connected on both field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Texans.

    Blankenship nailed a 35-yarder on the first drive of the second quarter, and he drilled a 53-yarder on the next drive, marking a career long with his first made field goal from beyond 50 yards. The rookie is in the race for the most points in the league, as his 125 ties him for second and has him just eight points shy of Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo.

  • Matt Gay K | LV

    Rams' Matt Gay: Hits all four kicks in loss

    Gay connected on 45- and 42-yard field-goal attempts and both his extra-point kicks during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Jets.

    The second-year kicker has been reliable for Los Angeles and fantasy managers through five games, and he's also set up for another solid performance in Week 16 against the Seahawks. Gay is worth considering in most settings.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Sets record in Sunday's win

    Myers connected on both field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-15 win over Washington.

    Myers made field goals from 43 and 40 yards. With his second field goal of the afternoon, Myers set a Seahawks record of 31 straight made field goals in the regular season, dating back to Week 10 of last year. Myers has been automatic, and he's up to 102 points this season.
