  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Misses only FG attempt Sunday

    Elliott went 0-for-1 on field goals Sunday against the Ravens.

    This was a poor outing for Elliott, who missed only his second field goal of the season on a 52-yard attempt (wide right). Both his misses this season have come on attempts over 50 yards, which will be something to keep an eye on. He'll look to put this performance behind him with Thursday's divisional tilt against the Giants quickly approaching.

  • Cowboys' Greg Zuerlein: 50 percent on field goals Monday

    Zuerlein went 1-for-2 on field goals and converted one extra point Monday against the Cardinals.

    Zuerlein was able to knock through a 34-yard field-goal attempt but was wide right on a 58-yard attempt later in the contest. The veteran is now 9-for-11 on field-goal attempts this season, with both misses coming on kicks over 50 yards.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Perfect on Sunday

    Tucker went 3-for-3 on field goals and converted three extra points Sunday against the Eagles.

    A perfect outing for Tucker on Sunday, he hit two field-goal attempts from 46-yards out and one from 55-yards away. He'll look to keep his perfect streak alive once the Ravens come back from their bye in Week 8.

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: One ugly miss

    Bass was 1-for-2 on field-goal tries and made both of his extra-point attempts in Monday's loss to the Chiefs.

    The miss was on a 52-yarder to end the half and was wide enough right to say the golfer's equivalent would be pushing a drive all the way over to the other fairway. The rookie was true on his other three attempts, which all in all isn't too bad on a chilly, misty day, Bass' first experience with Buffalo's sometimes inclement weather. After six weeks, Bass sits in a tie for 23rd in fantasy kicker scoring with 36 points. Part of that is due to the team's 73.9 red-zone touchdown percentage.

  • Cardinals' Zane Gonzalez: Nails lone field goal

    Gonzalez connected on his one field-goal attempt and added five extra points in Monday's 38-10 win against the Cowboys.

    Two weeks in a row Gonzalez has yet to miss an attempt. The Cardinals' offense was incredibly efficient, scoring touchdowns on all but one of their attempts inside the opponent's 30-yard line. Expect a similar type of performance against the Seahawks' defense that is currently allowing 27 points per game.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Misses another PAT

    Butker finished Monday's game versus the Bills 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts while connecting on just two of his three extra-point tries.

    While Butker has misfired on just one field goal through the first six weeks, he's begun a troubling trend of missing on extra-point attempts, missing one in four of the last five contests. Fortunately, it hasn't cost the Chiefs a game to date, but it's something to monitor as the season progresses. Kansas City is averaging north of 29 points per contest through the first six, so there is plenty of reason to believe Butker will continue to get his opportunities in the kicking game.

  • Broncos' Brandon McManus: Nails six field goals

    McManus converted field goals of 45, 44, 27, 52, 20, and 54 yards during Sunday's 18-12 win over the Patriots.

    Kudos to you if you started McManus on Sunday, as the Temple product set a franchise record with six field goals while serving as the entirety of the Broncos' scoring offense. He's converted 11 consecutive field-goal attempts, including five from 50 yards or further. McManus is tied for the league lead with nine conversions from 40 yards out out.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Lions' Matt Prater: Converts two of three FGA

    Prater made two of three field-goal attempts and four of four PATs during Sunday's 34-16 victory over the Jaguars.

    Prater missed wide left from 57 yards out but connected from 31 and 41 yards. While the veteran has been somewhat frustrating to own this season due to near goose eggs in Weeks 2 and 4, Prater has the green light to attempt kicks from 50 yards out on a weekly basis and is usually productive when he gets the opportunities. In a Lions offense that is close to fully healthy, Prater could have a big Week 7 against a Falcons defense that has given up the fifth-most points per game (30.7) in 2020.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Rings up eight points

    Gano made two field goals and two extra points in Sunday's 20-19 win over Washington.

    Gano did most of his work in the first half, connecting on a 33-yarder on the Giants' first offensive drive and adding a 20-yard chip shot in the second quarter. The 33-year-old squeezed in two extra points -- a season high -- as well. He's now made at least two field goals in five straight games and ranks seventh in the league with 51 total points. The Giants' inconsistent and shaky offense is a concern for Gano, but he keeps producing anyway. He should be considered a solid option in Week 7 against the Eagles, which have allowed at least 23 points in four straight outings.

  • Nick Folk K | ATL

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Drills both field goals

    Folk made both field-goal attempts in Sunday's 18-12 loss to the Broncos.

    Folk missed two field goals over the first two weeks, but he's been perfect over the last three games, connecting on six field goals. On Sunday, he hit kicks from 38 and 41 yards. Folk's season long is from 43 yards, but he's made every attempt from within 40 yards. Next week, the Patriots will play the 49ers, which have allowed just 21.5 points per game; however, Folk could see some extra opportunities since they've allowed the third-lowest red-zone success rate (46.7 percent) in the NFL.
