Myers connected on a 55-yard field goal and four extra points in Sunday's 31-23 win over the Dolphins.

Myers went two games without even attempting a field goal, but a rare Tyler Lockett drop set him up for a deep try in the first half. Myers nailed it along with four extra points to stay perfect on the season. The Seahawks have converted on 13 of 15 red-zone trips (86.7 percent) this season -- first in the league -- so it's a bit concerning for Myers' fantasy outlook. While this offense is likely matchup-proof, the Vikings' red-zone defense ranks second in the league, allowing opponents to score just 41.2 percent of the time, so perhaps Myers will have more opportunities in Week 5.

Zuerlein didn't attempt a field goal and connected on both his extra points in Sunday's 49-38 loss to the Browns.

The kicker's lack of activity seems baffling given the final score, but with the Cowboys staring at a 41-14 deficit heading into the fourth quarter, they were forced to go for two-point conversions during their comeback attempt and leave Zuerlein cooling his heels on the sideline. He should get more opportunities in Week 5 against the Giants.

Slye missed one of two field-goal attempts but made all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Cardinals.

Slye converted from 27 yards to open the fourth quarter but then went wide right from 42 yards to stall Carolina's next series. Although his seven points produced a decent return, Slye has now missed a kick in three out of four games thus far, leaving further points on the board Sunday.

Santos made his only field-goal attempt in Chicago's 19-11 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Even though Eddy Pineiro was eligible to return from injured reserve this week, Santos continued to serve as the Bears' kicker, but with only 14 points over the last three weeks, he'll continue to be a low-floor fantasy option while he retains the job.

Lutz made all five of his extra-point attempts in the Saints' 35-29 win over the Lions on Sunday.

New Orleans rolled to five touchdowns on the afternoon, and Lutz wasn't needed for any field goals in this one. Through four weeks, Lutz is perfect on 21 total kicks (six field goals, 15 extra points), and he'll remain an elite fantasy option when the Saints face the Chargers in Week 5.

Sanders converted all five field-goal attempts during Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Seahawks.

Miami's offense was extremely inefficient in the red zone Week 4, resulting in Sanders getting more field-goal opportunities than he had in the last three games combined. The third-year pro remains perfect on the year, and he had a long of 45 yards Sunday. Sanders always carries the risk of turning in just one or two field-goal attempts in a contest, but he's now delivered a glimpse of the ceiling his accuracy can provide when given the opportunity.

Prater did not attempt a field goal but made three of three PATs during Sunday's 35-29 loss to the Saints.

In a weird game where neither team attempted a single field goal, Prater was also hurt by the Lions needing to go for two late in the game. While this is a letdown after Prater's big performance in Week 3, the veteran kicker will remain a solid fantasy option when Detroit reconvenes from its Week 5 bye.

Koo (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Packers, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

This was hardly surprising considering Koo did not practice all week. Elliott Fry will slide in as the starting kicker in what figures to be a high-octane shootout against the Packers. The Packers are averaging the most points scored (40.7) through three weeks with the Falcons narrowly behind in sixth place (30).

Koo (groin) didn't participate in Friday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The Falcons have already stated that Koo is likely to miss time, and a second straight DNP to start the practice week aligns with that notion. Elliott Fry is on the practice squad and likely will be elevated if Koo is indeed ruled out.

McManus converted field goals of 40, 54 and 53 yards during Thursday's 37-28 win over the Jets. He added four point-after conversions.

First-time starter Brett Rypien didn't do McManus many favors in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter. With the Broncos down by one, Rypien took a 10-yard grounding penalty on third down, forcing McManus to try from 53 yards out. He nailed it for his second field goal of 50 or more yards of the quarter. The Temple product is on pace to tie his career-best field-goal percentage for a season (85.7% in 2015) and shatter his career mark for conversions of 40 yards or more (14 in 2018).
