    Patriots' Nick Folk: Perfect in Week 11 loss

    Folk made both field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Texans.

    Folk has now connected on 17 straight field-goal attempts dating back to Week 2, eight of which came from beyond 40 yards. The 36-year-old has shaped up as a consistent fantasy asset, too, as he's tried at least two field goals in five of the last six games.

  • Football Team's Dustin Hopkins: Inconsistencies continue

    Hopkins made two of three field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-9 win over the Bengals.

    Hopkins shook off a groin injury and was able to play in Week 11. It was another uninspiring effort by the 30-year-old kicker, however, as he's now made just 14 of 20 field-goal tries this year, so questions about his job security continue to loom large. Perhaps this will be the last straw, but Washington escaping with a win may cover up Hopkins' blemishes.

  • Colts' Rodrigo Blankenship: Nails game-winning kick

    Blankenship made four of five field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-31 overtime win against the Packers.

    Three field goals in the second half helped the Colts overcome an 11-point halftime deficit and force overtime, and the rookie kicker connected on his fourth of the day from 39 yards in the extra period to secure the team's seventh win of the year. The rookie kicker is now tied with Daniel Carlson for the league high in points (94), and he won't kick in an outdoor setting until Week 16.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Two FGs in Week 11 loss

    Sanders converted both of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Broncos.

    Sanders only has one missed field goal on the year, and he notched his sixth kick of the season from over 50 yards out Sunday. Coming off a game which featured Tua Tagovailoa struggling to move Miami's offense to such an extent that he was pulled in favor of Ryan Fitzpatrick, who didn't have much better luck himself, Sanders' accuracy remains a beacon of consistency for the Dolphins.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Perfect in win

    Fairbairn made both field-goal attempts and all three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 27-20 win over New England.

    With much better conditions Sunday than he had in last week's game in Cleveland, Fairbairn was perfect inside Houston's dome. He's recorded nine points in two of the last three games.

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Panthers' Joey Slye: Makes all four kicks

    Slye made both of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-0 win over the Lions.

    Slye's big leg was on display, as he converted a 56-yarder in the third quarter for a new career long. The second-year pro then made a 37-yard kick in the fourth, bringing his tally to eight points, which marked his best total since Week 6.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYJ

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Sinks all three of his kicks

    Koo went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts during Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Saints.

    During a game in which Atlanta made just one trip to New Orleans' red zone, Koo provided all nine of the Falcons' points, succeeding on attempts from 28, 51 and 52 yards out. With his incredible 96 percent hit rate on field-goal tries, the 26-year-old leads the NFL with 24 conversions despite missing one game this season. Koo is a perfect 5-for-5 from 50-plus yards as Atlanta prepares for a Week 12 matchup against the Raiders.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Lions' Matt Prater: Lays goose egg

    Prater missed his only field-goal attempt during Sunday's 20-0 loss to Carolina.

    The Lions had severe struggles moving the ball while quarterback Matthew Stafford played through a thumb injury. Prater subsequently received a single field-goal attempt from 51 yards out, which he missed wide left. Having previously attempted at least three field goals in six of nine games in 2020, there seems to a solid chance Prater and the Lions rebound in Week 12 against a Texans defense that is allowing the fourth-most total points per game (28.0) in 2020.

  • Jets' Sergio Castillo: Inactive Sunday

    Castillo (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Castillo went 6-for-7 on field-goal attempts and made all four PATs over the past three games, but the return of Sam Ficken (groin) relegates him to the inactive list Week 11.

  • Football Team's Dustin Hopkins: Officially in for Week 11

    Hopkins (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Washington withheld Hopkins from its first two Week 11 practices while he managed the groin injury, but he was able to take every rep during Friday's session. While Hopkins' full activity wasn't enough for him to avoid taking a questionable designation into the weekend, Washington never added another kicker to the 53-man roster, which suggests there was never any real concern about his availability. The 30-year-old has been one of the least-productive fantasy options at kicker this season, converting 12 of 17 field-goal attempts and 16 of 17 extra-point tries through nine games.
