Tucker made his only field-goal attempt as well as both of his extra-point tries in Sunday night's 23-17 loss to the Patriots.

Tucker converted from 24 yards on his field goal, but for the third straight week was only afforded one attempt outside of PAT work. That trend has left him with six or fewer points in each game over that span, hurting his recent production. He'll hope for more chances in Week 11 versus the Titans.

The Rams signed Gay on Tuesday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

After cutting bait with long-time kicker Greg Zuerlein in the offseason, the Rams have cycled through a number of kickers, including Samuel Sloman and Kai Forbath. Forbath was the casualty of an ankle injury this past Sunday versus the Seahawks and was placed on IR, with the corresponding move the signing of Gay. As a member of the Buccaneers last season, Gay made 27 of 35 field-goal attempts and 43 of 48 point-after tries across 16 games.

Badgley had zero field-goal attempts and added three extra points in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Dolphins.

The opportunities for Badgley were very limited in this matchup. While the kicker had a less than average performance against the Raiders last week, he at least did not miss any extra points in this contest. Game script essentially relegated Badgley to the sidelines, particularly during the second half as the Chargers attempted to mount an unlikely double-digit comeback. Badgley did manage to convert every one of his extra-point attempts, boosting his total to 22 for the season.

The Giants placed Gano (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.

Just days removed from putting pen to paper on a contract extension, Gano has tested positive for COVID-19 and will be away from the team for an undetermined amount of time, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. The Giants don't have another kicker on the active roster or practice squad, but with the team in the midst of its bye week it can wait to make a decision on who will be the placekicker for its next game Sunday, Nov. 29 at Cincinnati.

Carlson made all three of his field-goal attempts and was perfect on four extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-12 win over the Broncos.

Carlson's impressive Week 10 effort was highlighted by a 52-yard boot early in the second half to put Las Vegas up by seven. He ultimately recorded a season-high 13 points as a divisional matchup against the Chiefs now awaits.

Elliott made his lone field-goal attempt in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Giants.

Elliott was not used for an extra point because the Eagles went for two after both of their touchdowns. The 25-year-old has only seen six attempts over the last six weeks and has missed half of them.

Santos made a pair of field goals and an extra point in Chicago's 19-13 loss to Minnesota on Monday.

Santos connected on a pair of field goals from less than 45 yards away in the first half, but after converting an extra point following the Bears' return of the second-half kickoff for a touchdown, he wasn't given another opportunity to increase his scoring total. He's now been held to fewer than eight points in three of his last four games, making him an underwhelming weekly fantasy option.

Gonzalez made all four field-goal attempts and both point-after tries during Sunday's 32-30 win against the Bills.

With 14 points during this Week 10 epic, Gonzalez moved into 13th place in total points (74) and 12th in points per game (8.2) among NFL kickers this season. The latter mark is ahead of his 7.9 points per game from a season ago, placing him on the fringe of weekly relevance as a complement to the league's seventh-best scoring attack (29.6 points per game) and the No. 1 offense overall (425.4 yards per game).

Gay is expected to be brought to Los Angeles to compete with Austin MacGinnis for the Rams' kicking job, J.B. Long of the Los Angeles Rams Radio Network reports.

Gay will have to clear COVID-19 protocol before he can participate. and coach Sean McVay expects that to commence by Saturday. Starting kicker Kai Forbath injured his ankle in the Rams' Week 10 over the Seahawks. The fact that Los Angeles is already looking at two potential kickers going forward indicates that Forbath could miss some time. As a result, Gay will look to make an impression once he joins the team.

Sanders converted three of four field-goal tries and both of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 29-21 win over the Chargers.

Sanders' first miss of the season went wide right from 47 yards out in the fourth quarter, but he still boasts a 95 percent field-goal conversion rate on the year. He's seen multiple field-goal tries in four of the last six games.
