Tucker converted his only field-goal attempt as well as all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Colts.

Tucker split the uprights with a 48-yarder late in the fourth quarter, bringing his season tally to 71 points through eight games. The star kicker has missed just one of 42 total attempts this term, representing an elite model of consistency.

Gonzalez made one of two field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Dolphins.

Gonzalez converted from 37 yards on his first field goal but didn't have enough leg on a 49-yard attempt to tie the game just after the two-minute warning. That costly miss came after a turbulent outing in Arizona's game prior, so Gonzalez will undoubtedly aim for more consistency ahead of this Sunday's visit from the Bills.

The Titans signed Tavecchio to the practice squad Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Tavecchio's addition comes after the Titans placed Tucker McCann (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list last week. The Titans want dependable depth at kicker, however, as Stephen Gostkowski had a few rough games before Week 9. He got back on track against the Bears, though, drilling all three kicks. Tavecchio last played for the Falcons in 2018 when he hit all five field-goal attempts, including two from beyond 50 yards.

Zuerlein made all four field goals and his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Steelers.

Zuerlein drilled field goals from 38, 39, 44 and 45 yards to put together a solid day for fantasy managers and keep Dallas in an unexpectedly close game. After connecting on just seven field goals through the first six games, the veteran kicker has added seven more over the past two weeks as the offense has begun to move the ball a little better following the season-ending ankle injury to Dak Prescott, without becoming more efficient in the red zone. The Cowboys will enjoy a Week 10 bye, and Zuerlein could have a decent opportunity in Week 11 against a pitiful Vikings defense.

Folk hit all three field-goal attempts and all three extra points in Monday's 30-27 win over the Jets.

This was Folk's best game of the season, as he hit field goals from 45 and 29 yards, and added three extra points before nailing the game-winning 51-yarder as time expired in the fourth quarter. The 36-year-old kicker has now made all 13 field-goal attempts over the past six games while connecting on eight of nine extra points in that stretch.

Badgley made two out of his three field-goal attempts and added two extra points in Sunday's 31-26 loss to the Raiders.

After finally bouncing back from a multiweek slump in last Sunday's loss to the Broncos, Badgley went right back to his inconsistent ways, shanking an attempt from 48 yards out in the first quarter. This was his fourth game of the season in which he missed a kick from at least 40 yards out, but he did manage to convert his 45-yard attempt during the second quarter. The 25-year-old has now completed 14 of his 19 field-goal attempts this season and added an additional 19 extra points.

Butker tallied two field goals and three extra points Sunday versus the Panthers.

On the downside of Butker's stat line is that he misfired on a pair of kicks, so there were potential points left off the board yet again. The fourth-year kicker missed from inside of 50 yards just once all of last season but has already done so twice and has missed six extra-point attempts after knocking home 45 of 48 in 2019. While both present a mild concern, it's not enough of an issue at this point to worry about his job security.

Castillo made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his PAT tries in Monday's 30-27 loss to the Patriots.

Castillo was true from 35 and 50 yards. The kicking position has been one of the few positives for the Jets this season, as Sam Ficken (groin) missed just one field-goal attempt in six games and Castillo has missed only once in three games since being called upon to fill in.

The Jaguars signed McLaughlin off the Vikings' practice squad Tuesday.

McLaughlin won't immediately count against Jacksonville's 53-man roster while he completes COVID-19 testing and screening protocols upon joining a new organization, but the Jaguars expect to have him available to serve as their kicker Sunday in Green Bay. With Jacksonville recently shutting top kicker Josh Lambo (hip) down for the season, McLaughlin is likely to kick for the team for at least two games before potentially ceding his role to practice-squad member Aldrick Rosas (suspension), who will be eligible to rejoin the roster Week 12. McLaughlin saw action with the Colts, Chargers and 49ers in 2019, converting 18 of 23 field-goal attempts and all 26 of his extra-point tries.

Folk (back) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Jets.

Seven games into the season, Folk has logged 44 points overall and has been a middling fantasy option of late thanks to the uneven performance of 2-5 New England's offense.
