Boswell made both his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Titans.

Boswell's fantasy production has been remarkably consistent over the first six games of the season, and he had a season-high nine points in Week 7. The 29-year-old was perfect once again Sunday as he's now converted on all nine of his field-goal attempts while going 20-for-21 on extra-point tries. He faces a tough matchup against the Ravens in Week 8, but Boswell has been effective behind the Steelers' strong offensive attack.

Folk made two field goals in Sunday's 33-6 loss to the 49ers.

For a second straight week, Folk made two field goals but didn't attempt an extra point. The New England offense's sudden turn toward lethargy instead of the high-powered attack we witnessed over the first three weeks hasn't affected Folk too much, as he's connected on five field goals, including four from beyond 40 yards, over the last three games. However, that could be his ceiling, especially in games where the Patriots start trailing quickly. Folk carries some risk as a result, but he should be a fine fantasy option next week against the Bills, which have let up 25.4 points per game this year.

Zuerlein converted his only field-goal attempt in Sunday's 25-3 loss to Washington.

The Dallas offense could get absolutely nothing going behind an injury-ravaged offensive line, especially after rookie seventh-round pick Ben DiNucci was forced into action for Andy Dalton (concussion). The outlook for the entire unit is bleak heading into the Week 8 road clash with the Eagles, and Zuerlein -- who hasn't kicked multiple field goals since Week 3 -- seems likely to get limited opportunities once again.

Bass made six of eight field-goal attempts in Buffalo's 18-10 win over the Jets on Sunday.

The misses were not pretty and could have led to an embarrassing defeat for the Bills in what was a surprisingly close game most of the afternoon. However, the rookie sixth-rounder pushed through and ended up making kicks of 53, 48, 46, 37, 29 and 40 yards. In the process, Bass tied the NFL record for field-goal attempts in a game and became the first rookie to have eight attempts in an outing.

Myers hit both field-goal attempts and all four extra points in Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Cardinals.

The Seahawks' hyper-efficient offense left Myers in the dark over the first five games, as he attempted two field goals and a whopping 21 extra points in that stretch, connecting on each one. The Cardinals stopped the Seahawks a couple of times in the first half, affording Myers a chance to make up for lost time with field goals from 41 and 44 yards. The Seahawks still lead the league in red-zone percentage (85.7), but Myers is still attached to the league's highest-scoring offense and should be rostered in fantasy formats. He has a favorable Week 8 matchup, too, as the 49ers' defense has allowed opponents to score on just 46.7 percent of red-zone trips, third in the league.

Slye made one of two field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Saints.

Slye's only miss came on a 65-yard attempt that would've set an NFL record while tying the game with under two minutes remaining. The big-legged kicker was just short on that try, but he converted from 43 yards on his prior field-goal attempt Sunday. Through seven games, Slye now sports 64 points, and he has a great chance to add to that hefty total in Week 8 versus the Falcons.

Fairbairn converted two of three field-goal attempts and both extra-point kicks in Sunday's 35-20 loss to the Packers.

Fairbairn shanked a 38-yard attempt, just his second miss of the season, but benefitted from two stalled red-zone trips to register eight points. It was the third time in the last four games he's had multiple field goals.

Lutz converted both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point attempts in the Saints' 27-24 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Lutz -- who hasn't missed a kick all season -- stayed perfect in this one, converting all five of his kicks, including the go-ahead field goal midway through the fourth quarter. Notched at 24 points apiece following the third quarter, Lutz knocked in a 43-yarder to give New Orleans a three-point edge that it would not relinquish. Lutz will look to keep the momentum going in Week 8 against a Bears team that has allowed the most field-goal attempts to opposing kickers this season.

Koo went 2-for-2 on extra-point attempts during Sunday's 23-22 loss to the Lions.

Koo had provided steady production with an average of three field-goal conversions per game Weeks 1 through 6, but he wasn't afforded a single try in a home loss to Detroit. The Falcons did go for it twice on fourth downs, with one of those attempts involving the decision to pass on a potential 30-yard attempt from Koo. He may garner more opportunities Week 8 during a Thursday night matchup against the Panthers, as Carolina's red-zone defense has been reasonably effective in holding opponents to a 65.2 percent TD rate this season.

Castillo made his lone field-goal attempt from 29 yards out and converted a PAT in Sunday's 18-10 loss to Buffalo.

New York didn't ask much of Castillo in his NFL debut, but he was perfect in his limited opportunities. If Sam Ficken (groin) doesn't heal in time to face the Chiefs in Week 8, Castillo should continue to fill in.
