Gano made a 48-yard field goal and missed his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Seahawks.

This was the first time since Week 8 that Gano didn't attempt more than one field goal, and his streak of 17 straight extra-point conversions also came to an end. However, his 48-yarder made a big difference in the five-point win, forcing the Seahawks to go for a touchdown instead of a field goal on their final drive. Gano will hope for more opportunities next week against the Cardinals.

Gay connected on one of his two field-goal attempts and hit all five extra-point kicks during Sunday's 38-28 win over Arizona.

Fantasy managers would have liked to have seen Gay hit his 37-yard field-goal attempt in the fourth quarter, but five extra points padded his stat line. While the sophomore has already missed two field goals through three games, his fantasy numbers have been serviceable. Gay projects to remain a middling option in most settings.

Fairbairn was successful on two of three field-goal attempts and made two extra-point kicks in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Colts.

Fairbairn's miss was wide right from 53 yards, but the kicker was successful on a boot from 52 yards, his third make in five tries from beyond the 50. The Texans are on the road Week 14 against a Bears defense that ranks 13th in scoring (23.7 PPG).

Koo went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts while converting his lone point-after try during Sunday's 21-16 loss to New Orleans.

The reigning NFC Special Teams Player of the Month carries his hot streak into December, as he's now converted on 24 consecutive field-goal tries. Koo's deep-range success persists, with his first-quarter conversion from 53 yards out placing him at a perfect 7-for-7 on 50-plus-yard attempts this season. The 26-year-old has a strong chance of keeping up his prolific scoring pace Week 14 against the Chargers, with Los Angeles surrendering the eighth-most field-goal attempts per game in the NFL (2.2).

Lutz missed his only field-goal attempt and converted all three of his extra-point attempts in the Saints' 21-16 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Lutz appeared to injure his leg on the missed attempt, but he was ultimately able to finish the game and seems to have avoided any significant injury. He'll take on the Eagles in Week 14.

Castillo didn't attempt a field goal and made two of three PAT attempts in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Raiders.

New York's offense came away with touchdowns when it got in close, limiting Castillo's impact. He missed a PAT, which forced New York to go for two after a subsequent touchdown to make up the lost point. Castillo will remain New York's kicker against Seattle in Week 14 with Sam Ficken (groin) still on IR.

Sanders converted all four of his field-goal tries and his sole extra-point attempt during Sunday's 19-7 win over the Bengals.

Sanders made the most of a messy game that saw five players ejected late, as he accounted for 13 of 19 points on offense for Miami. With 28 field goals through 12 contests, Sanders has already surpassed his previous career-high mark.

Santos made his only field-goal attempt while making three of four extra-point conversions in Chicago's 34-30 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Santos has failed to surpass seven points in any of his last four games, making him a risky lineup option during the fantasy playoffs.

Folk (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

The veteran has received the questionable tag for each of the past four games, and he'll continue to play through the back issue. Folk is 19-for-21 on field-goal attempts and 20-for-22 on PATs through 11 games.

The Steelers are expected to elevate Wright from the practice squad to serve as their kicker Monday against Washington, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

A second-year pro out of Central Florida, Wright looks poised to make his NFL debut Week 13 after the Steelers downgraded top kicker Chris Boswell (hip) from questionable to doubtful for the contest. Wright's stint with the organization spans less than a week after he was signed to the practice squad Nov. 30, but he attended training camp with the Steelers in 2019. During his collegiate career, Wright converted 55 of 71 field-goal attempts (77.5 percent), with a long of 50 yards.
