McManus made his lone field-goal attempt and all four extra-point tries during Sunday's 31-30 win over the Chargers.

The 29-year-old converted a 35-yard field goal during the first quarter and was successful on all the extra-point tries for Denver's four second-half touchdowns, including the game-winning PAT as time expired. McManus made six field goals Week 6, but he has only two attempts over the past two games. However, he draws an appealing fantasy matchup against the Falcons in Week 9.

Boswell didn't have any field-goal attempts but converted on all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Ravens.

The Steelers didn't attempt any field goals Sunday, but Boswell took care of business after four trips to the end zone as the team remained undefeated in 2020. Sunday marked the first game of the season in which the team didn't line up for a field goal, as the 29-year-old has gone 9-for-9 on his field-goal attempts while converting on 24 of his 25 extra-point tries. He'll face the Cowboys next week, a team that's provided a favorable matchup for opposing kickers this season.

Bass made his lone field-goal attempt and all three-extra point attempts during Sunday's 24-21 win over the Patriots.

The 23-year-old was called upon for eight field-goal attempts last week (he made six), but his only attempt Sunday was the game-winner, as he converted from 28 yards to break a 21-21 tie with four minutes left in the fourth quarter. Bass has endured an up-and-down rookie campaign, going 13-for-18 on field-goal attempts and 21-for-22 on extra-point attempts through eight games. A matchup with the Seahawks next week should provide plenty of opportunities for points for the Buffalo offense.

Lutz connected on four of five field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point attempts in the Saints' 26-23 OT win over the Bears on Sunday.

Lutz missed his first kick of the year in this one. He made up for the miss with a game-winning 35-yarder in overtime. Lutz will look to keep up his elite play in Week 9 against Tampa Bay.

Folk made both field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try during Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Bills.

The veteran kicker put up New England's only points of the first half with field goals from 43 and 33 yards during the second quarter, but he was only called upon for one PAT in the second half. Folk two field goals in each of the past three games, and the Week 9 contest versus the Jets provides a favorable matchup.

Blankenship converted three of five extra-point attempts during Sunday's 41-21 win over the Lions.

The 23-year-old struggled mightily coming out of the bye week, as he pushed two PATs wide right. Blankenship didn't attempt any field goals, but he still could have had a six-point day if he converts the PATs, as the Colts opted for a two-point conversion after his first miss. Blankenship is 16-for-18 on field-goal attempts and 18-for-20 on extra-point attempts this season, and Sunday's performance could put him on thin ice if he struggles again next week versus the Ravens.

Zuerlein connected on three of four field-goal attempts in Sunday's 23-9 loss to the Eagles.

At the end of the first half, the veteran kicker reminded everyone why he was given the nickname Greg "the Leg," drilling a low, line-drive kick that cut through the wind at Lincoln Financial Field and cleared the uprights with room to spare for a 59-yard field goal. It's the first time since Week 3 that Zuerlein has booted multiple field goals in a game, but the Cowboys' sputtering offense may not provide him with many opportunities next week against the Steelers, even if Andy Dalton (concussion) is back under center.

Slye made his only field-goal attempt as well as both of his extra-point tries in Thursday night's 25-17 loss to the Falcons.

Slye converted from 39 yards on his field-goal effort but again had his opportunities limited by a Panthers offense that struggled to move the ball. With All-Pro tailback Christian McCaffrey (ankle) seemingly set to return in Week 9, however, Slye could get more involved going forward, and his current total of 69 points through eight games still represents quality value.

Castillo connected on three of four field-goal attempts in Sunday's 35-9 loss to Kansas City.

Filling in for Sam Ficken (groin) for a second consecutive week, Castillo capped each of New York's first three drives with field goals, connecting from 39, 55 and 48 yards. His fourth field-goal attempt of the first half came from 47 yards out and was blocked. New York's sputtering offense went completely dormant after halftime, as the Jets went a third consecutive game without scoring a single point in the second half. If Ficken's unable to recover for the Week 9 clash with the Patriots, Castillo would retain the Jets' kicking duties.

Santos connected on all three of his field-goal attempts in Chicago's 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Santos drilled a field goal at the end of regulation to send the game to overtime while tying his season high with 11 points. Although he's posted at least eight points in three of his last four games, he also has a pair of performances with fewer than five points, making him an inconsistent fantasy option with a low scoring floor.
