Slye made all three of his field-goal attempts and both his extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Falcons.

Slye converted from 38, 39 and 22 yards on his field-goal tries, bringing his tally to 11 points on the day. The second-year pro has notched double-digit points in three of five outings this season, with Sunday's performance marking his second without a missed kick.

Fairbairn converted all three field-goal attempts and was three of three on extra-point kicks in Sunday's 30-14 win over the Jaguars.

Houston's offense moved the ball more consistently in Week 5, reaping the benefits of an effective running game, which enabled Fairbairn to post a season-high 12 points. He's scored 23 points over the last two weeks, and Sunday's game was third in five contests that he's converted at least three field goals.

Elliott missed his only field-goal attempt but was good on all three extra-point tries in Sunday's 38-29 loss to Pittsburgh.

Elliott wasn't called to kick a field goal until the Eagles' final drive of the game, and he sent the 57-yard attempt wide right. His only two misses on the year have come from more than 50 yards. The 25-year-old will have a chance to redeem himself at home against Baltimore in Week 6.

Koo went 3-for-3 on field-goal tries while converting his lone point-after attempt during Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Panthers.

After being ruled out for Atlanta's Week 4 loss to the Packers with a groin injury, Koo resumed his strong 2020 campaign against Carolina by pushing his field-goal conversion rate to 91.7 percent. Coupling his efficient FG rate with his success on onside kicks, Koo has been a fine special-teams asset in 12 career appearances for the Falcons. Dependability on extra points has been the area of Koo's game where there remains room for improvement, as he has already missed two of nine attempts on the year.

Sanders converted all five field-goal attempts and each of his four extra-point tries during Sunday's 43-17 win over the 49ers.

Sanders was automatic in Sunday's upset win, as he has been through the season. Not only is the third-year placekicker perfect through five games, but by beginning the 2020 campaign with 14 consecutive field-goal conversions, he's now set a new franchise record. Coming off back-to-back games with five field goals, Sanders will be a tempting fantasy option for Week 6.

Santos made a pair of field goals and two extra points in the Bears' 20-19 victory over the Buccaneers on Thursday.

Santos hit a 38-yard field goal with a little more than a minute left to give the Bears the win. However, he's averaging just five points per game and therefore remains a low-upside fantasy option.

The Texans recently brought Maher in for a visit, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Houston's current placekicker, Ka'imi Fairbairn, has missed just one kick in 2020 and is successful on 83.8 percent of his field-goal attempts during his career. It's unclear if Houston is looking to make a change. Maher has spent time with the Jets, Cowboys, the Browns and the Washington football team during his time in the NFL, and he's also put in time in the Canadian Football League.

Koo (groin) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Koo wasn't able to suit up in Monday's loss to the Packers, but he now looks back to full health. The Falcons have already demoted Elliott Fry back to the practice squad, indicating Koo will be good to go for Atlanta's Week 5 matchup with the Panthers.

Folk made his only field-goal attempt and lone extra-point try in Monday's 26-10 loss to the Chiefs.

Folk was only provided two scoring opportunities and capitalized on them both, with his field goal coming from 43 yards. Although he only produced four points, Folk can be pleased by Monday marking his first outing without a miss this season, giving him some positive momentum ahead of Week 5's game against the Broncos.

Tucker made his only field-goal attempt as well as all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-17 win over Washington.

Tucker converted from 46 yards on his lone field-goal opportunity Sunday. That make kept his perfect kicking record intact so far and helped bring his season total to 38 points through four games.
