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.

Castillo is active for Monday night's matchup against the Patriots.

With typical No. 1 kicker Sam Ficken (groin) having been ruled out for the AFC East clash, Castillo steps in for his third consecutive start. The 30-year-old out of West Texas A&M has thus far made four of his five field goals for New York on the season, connecting on his lone try from 50-plus yards.

Lutz converted his lone field-goal attempt and all five of his extra-point attempts in the Saints' 38-3 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Another day, another solid effort from one of the league's most accurate kickers. He's missed just one kick all season and will remain an elite option for fantasy managers in Week 10 against San Francisco.

Bass made three of four field-goal attempts and all five extra points in Sunday's 44-34 win over the Seahawks.

Bass missed five field goals over eight games leading up to this outing, but Sunday's misfire shouldn't be held against the rookie. Coach Sean McDermott rolled Bass out for a 61-yard attempt in the winding seconds of the first half, and while he had enough leg on a windless day, he pushed it wide right. Bass has made 73 percent of field-goal tries this year, and he now has 74 points through nine games, tied with four other kickers for fifth in the league.

Hopkins made two field-goal and extra-point attempts apiece in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Giants.

This was Hopkins' first perfect outing since Week 5 and a well-earned one at that, as he connected from 48 and 44 yards. Washington's offense continues to be inconsistent and will be starting Alex Smith under center for the time being, but it could have an intriguing matchup in Week 10 because the Lions have let up at least 22 points in seven of eight games this season.

Blankenship made a 43-yard field goal and his lone extra-point in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Ravens.

Blankenship led the league in points through the first six games, but he took a sharp turn following the Week 7 bye, making just one field goal and four extra points -- he missed two attempts last week -- over the past two contests. The Colts' offense continues to be mediocre, but it should provide more opportunities for Blankenship in Week 10, as the Titans have allowed an average of 25.1 points per game this year.

Prater made two of three field-goal attempts and both of his PATs during Sunday's loss to Minnesota.

Prater badly missed his opening FGA from 46 yards wide left but later redeemed himself with kicks from 23 and 45 yards. The veteran has now converted multiple field goals in five of eight game, with 12 total attempts coming from beyond 40 yards. While the Lions offense could struggle if Matthew Stafford (concussion) is forced to miss time, a Week 10 matchup with a middling Washington team is not something to run away from

Myers made both field-goal attempts and all four extra points in Sunday's 44-34 loss to the Bills.

Myers finally got some tread, as the Bills' defense was able to slow down the Seahawks on Sunday, allowing the kicker to attempt more than one field goal for just the second time this year. He connected on both, and now he's perfect on seven field-goal attempts this year, all of which came from beyond 40 yards. It's been frustrating to roster Myers in fantasy this season, as being part of the highest-scoring offense in the league often merits more work. His value seems to be trending up, however, as he's made five field goals and 12 extra points over the last three weeks.
