Zuerlein missed three of his four field-goal attempts and connected on both his extra points in Tuesday's loss to the Ravens.

The nine points he left on the table didn't ultimately matter in a 34-17 defeat, but it was still a dreadful performance from the veteran kicker. Zuerlein missed from 40, 53 and 52 yards on three straight attempts, but it may have just been one of those nights in Baltimore, as even the normally ultra-reliable Justin Tucker missed a 36-yarder. The Dallas offense has been handing him plenty of opportunities lately -- Zuerlein's attempted at least three FGs in four of the last five games -- but his inability to convert consistently puts his fantasy utility on shaky ground.

Wright reverted from Pittsburgh's active roster to the practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

The 24-year-old was perfect in his debut Monday against Washington, making his lone field-goal attempt and both PATs during the loss. The availability of Chris Boswell (hip) will determine whether Wright receives another chance to kick Week 14.

Hopkins went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made both extra-point tries in Monday's win over the Steelers.

Hopkins nailed all three field-goal attempts from the 40-49 yard range Monday. Since Washington's Week 8 bye, Hopkins has gone 11-for-13 on field-goal attempts -- with all but one attempt coming from at least 30 yards out.

Bass made both of his field-goal attempts (37 and 28 yards) and all four extra-point tries in Buffalo's win over the 49ers on Monday night.

That makes three straight flawless games for the rookie out of Georgia Southern, who's proven to be a strong draft choice following some early season struggles. Bass has made every single attempt starting in Week 8 with the exception of a 61-yard try before halftime in Week 9. While the schedule and the weather are tough factors down the stretch, a strong-legged rookie hitting his stride in a hot offense makes for a good fantasy play, even considering the negative factors. Bass currently sits fourth in the league in scoring with 105 points following Week 13 action.

McManus made one of two field-goal attempts and his lone PAT during Sunday's 22-16 loss to Kansas City.

The 29-year-old converted from 53 yards during the first quarter, but he missed wide left on a 57-yard field goal shortly before halftime. It's his first missed field goal since Week 2, which was also a 50-plus yard attempt. McManus is 22-for-24 on field-goal attempts and 19-for-20 on PATs through 12 games this season.

Folk (back) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice report.

Folk has been a regular on the Patriots' injury reports since early November with the back issue, but it has yet to prevent him from kicking in a game this season. Even if Folk ends up being listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Rams, he's more likely than not to gain clearance ahead of the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Wright converted on his lone field-goal attempt while making two extra-point tries in Monday's 23-17 loss to Washington.

Wright made his NFL debut Monday with Chris Boswell (hip) inactive, and the 24-year-old performed well with the opportunities he was given. Wright's status for the Steelers' Week 14 contest against Buffalo depends on Boswell's health Sunday.

Butker nailed all five of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's game versus the Broncos.

Butker was called on for more than three attempts for the first time all season Sunday thanks to a stingy Broncos defense, and he made more than two kicks for just the third time. He only attempted one extra point on the day but served as the team's primary source of scoring, accounting for 15 of the team's 22 points on the board. With some potentially high-scoring contests rounding out the 2020 season, Butker could be in line for a strong fantasy finish.

Badgley missed both of his field-goal attempts and didn't add any extra points in Sunday's 45-0 loss to the Patriots.

It was a disaster of a game for the third-year pro, as the Chargers put together one of the worst performances by a special teams unit in NFL history. Badgley's first missed attempt came on the Chargers' opening possession, amounting to his second missed field goal from at least 40 yards out in his last four attempts. His second miss was far more crucial, as the Patriots blocked the long attempt and returned it for a touchdown to end the half up 28-0. With just four games to go, it's hard to imagine the Chargers will make a switch at kicker, but considering Badgley ranks near the bottom in the NFL in terms of kick percentage (71 percent), it's quite clear the 25-year-old is playing for his job.

Carlson made his only field-goal attempt and converted all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Jets.

Carlson nailed a 48-yard field goal in the second quarter, but he was ultimately contained to just two PATs in the second half as he brought his total to seven points for the contest. Las Vegas is now slated to host the Colts and their periodically stingy defense Week 14.
