Sanders converted both of his field-goal tries and both extra-point attempts during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Jets.

Sanders' two kicks came from 54 and 51 yards out, respectively. The third-year pro is compiling an outstanding season, as he has just one miss across 11 contests. He'll get a favorable matchup against the Bengals in Week 13.

Gonzalez connected on one of two field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Patriots.

The Cardinals rolled out Gonzalez to try a 45-yard field goal to put the team up three points with 1:47 remaining in regulation. The 25-year-old pushed the kick wide right, providing the Patriots with a chance to win the game. As time expired in the fourth quarter, Patriots kicker Nick Folk drilled a 50-yarder to hand the Cardinals another heartbreaking defeat. This is the second time in four weeks that Gonzalez has missed a key field-goal try, as he left a potentially game-tying 49-yard attempt short in the Week 9 loss to the Dolphins as well. He's now 16-for-21 on field goals this year, and he's connected on just 10 of 15 tries from beyond 40 yards. Job security is a legitimate question right now.

The Steelers signed Wright to the practice squad Monday.

The Steelers are wisely adding an emergency kicker with playoffs on the horizon. Starting kicker Chris Boswell isn't in any danger of losing his job based on merit, but depth is essential with COVID-19 still prompting uncertainty on a weekly basis. Wright hasn't played a game since entering the league as an undrafted rookie in 2019.

Hopkins connected on both field-goals attempts and all five extra-point tries in Thursday's 41-16 win over the Cowboys.

This was arguably Hopkins' best performance of 2020, as he avoided missing a kick for just the fourth time this season. Washington's offense rolled the Cowboys, too, providing him ample opportunities to come through for fantasy managers. However, a Week 13 matchup against the Steelers could prove tough for the Football Team to get rolling against.

Prater made a 29-yard field goal and both extra-point attempts in Thursday's 41-25 loss to the Texans.

Prater remains perfect from short range, as he's connected on all 10 field-goal tries from within 40 yards while going 26-for-26 on extra-point attempts. This was the third time in five games that he attempted just one field goal. He's been tough to depend on with fluctuating opportunities. A Week 13 matchup against the Bears' sturdy defense provides another challenge for the veteran kicker.

The Jaguars activated McLaughlin (undisclosed) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

McLaughlin missed last weekend's loss to the Browns while on the COVID list, but he'll now be eligible to return to action Week 13. Aldrick Rosas stands to return to the practice squad as McLaughlin slots back into the starting lineup for Sunday's game in Minnesota.

Bass put up nine points in Sunday's win over the Chargers, converting on 45- and 43-yard attempts while making all three of his extra-point tries.

Bass has been excellent following some early season rookie hiccups. In Week 7, he made six field goals on eight attempts in a game where he did all the scoring for the Bills, and he's made every single attempt since that game with the exception of a 61-yard try before halftime in Week 9. Bass has become a fantasy factor now that he's found his footing in an offense that moves the ball well.

Folk made both field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Cardinals.

For the second time this month, coach Bill Belichick trusted Folk with a chance to win the game from 50 yards out. The 36-year-old came through, sending a no-doubter between the uprights and securing a win to bring the Patriots to 5-6. Folk has converted on 18 straight field-goal attempts, including nine kicks from beyond 40 yards in that stretch.

Gano made all four field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Bengals.

Gano extended his perfect streak to nine games, as he's connected on 22 field-goal attempts and 15 extra-point tries in that stretch. He drilled four kicks from beyond 50 yards over that span as well. Gano's automatic right now, but his opportunities could take a slight hit if Daniel Jones (hamstring) is forced to miss next week's game against the Seahawks.

Koo went 5-for-5 on field-goal tries and 4-for-4 on extra-point attempts during Sunday's 43-6 win against the Raiders.

Koo continues to enjoy a breakout campaign, as he leads all kickers in scoring with 10.9 points per game this season. In fact, the 26-year-old has established himself a buffer in that category, compiling 1.8 more points per game than any other NFL kicker with a minimum of three appearances this year. Over 18 games in a Falcons uniform since Week 9 of 2019, Koo has converted an outstanding 92.9 percent of his field-goal attempts.
