Gonzalez hit his sole field-goal attempt and all three point-after tries during Sunday's 30-10 road win versus the Jets.

After not getting a FGA in Week 4, Gonzalez nailed a 47-yarder in the second quarter Sunday, bringing him to 4-for-6 from beyond 40 yards on the season. He's also attempted exactly three PATs in all five games, missing one along the way. Gonzalez is averaging just 6.4 points per contest, though, which ranks in a tie for 25th among the league's placekickers.

Lutz converted on all three of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries Monday in the Saints' 30-27 win over the Chargers.

Lutz's 36-yard field goal gave the Saints the lead with just over five minutes left in overtime, with the New Orleans defense holding the Chargers to a four-and-out on the ensuing possession to seal the win. Earlier in the contest, Lutz converted from 53 yards out, marking his longest field goal of the season. Through four games, Lutz has yet to miss any of his 27 kicks (nine field goals, 18 extra points).

Butker knocked home his lone field-goal attempt and each of his three extra-point attempts Sunday versus the Raiders.

Butker had some recent struggles with extra points, missing one in each of the last three contests, so his return to form Sunday should calm any potential concerns in that department. Next up is a Bills defense that may be able to slow down the Chiefs enough to force additional field-goal attempts in Week 6.

Badgley missed his lone field-goal attempt and made three of his four extra-points attempts in Monday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Saints.

Badgley had a chance to win the game for the Chargers in regulation, but the 50-yard attempt clanked off the right upright. This marks his second missed field goal from 50 yards this season and fourth out of six tries in his career. The Chargers are on bye for Week 6 and return the following week to face Jacksonville.

Tucker went 2-for-3 on field goals and converted three extra points Sunday against the Bengals.

Tucker missed his first field goal of the season when a 61-yarder drifted wide right at the end of the first half, but that was his lone blemish. He is now 10-for-11 on field goals this year and remains perfect on extra points. The Ravens will hit the road to face the Eagles in Week 6.

The Texans signed Maher to the practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Houston's starting kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn has been perfect over the last three weeks, drilling nine field goals and nine extra points without a miss. Maher will add depth in case things get derailed. Last season with the Cowboys, Maher connected on 20 of 30 field goals and hit all 36 extra-point attempts.

Gano connected on all four field-goal attempts and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Cowboys.

Only four kickers this season have made more than two field goals from beyond 50 yards, but Gano drilled three from that distance Sunday, adding a 25-yarder and two extra points for good measure. The 33-year-old kicker has now hit at least three field goals in three straight games, and he's missed just one kick all year. He gets plenty of opportunities even when facing good defenses, so he should be on fantasy radars in Week 6 against Washington.

Blankenship made all five kicks -- three field goals and two extra points -- in Sunday's 32-23 loss to the Browns.

Blankenship has only missed one field goal from less than 40 yards this season, and he connected on all three from that range Sunday. Colts faithful should be excited to have some stability at the position after legend Adam Vinatieri's disappointing 2019 season, as Blankenship leads the league with 56 points through five games. Even with the Colts' offense being underwhelming, Blankenship is producing and should be universally rostered and started Week 6 against the Bengals.

Hopkins made a 48-yard field goal and his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Rams.

Washington's lethargic offense hasn't provided many opportunities for Hopkins this season. He's made five of seven field goals and eight of nine extra points, and his 48-yarder Sunday ties his season long. Washington has faced some tough competition lately, but it will get an appealing matchup against the Giants next week. The Giants have allowed 26.6 points per game -- the 14th most in the league -- so Hopkins could be a decent stream in deeper fantasy formats.

Boswell converted on his lone field-goal attempt in Sunday's 38-29 win over the Eagles en route to recording eight points.

Boswell has now gone 6-for-6 on his field-goal attempts to begin the season after converting on a 41-yard try Sunday. He also benefited from the high-scoring matchup against Philadelphia, as he was perfect on five extra-point attempts. Through the first four weeks of the season, Boswell has logged 30 points and profiles as a decent fantasy option while working behind Pittsburgh's offense.
