  • Cardinals' Zane Gonzalez: Hits all six kicks Week 2

    Gonzalez nailed all three field-goal attempts and all three point-after tries during Sunday's 30-15 victory against Washington.

    Gonzalez was busy from the outset of the contest, hitting two extra points in the first quarter and not looking back. Along the way, he made field goals from 49, 33 and 28 yards Week 2. With 18 points through two games, Gonzalez sits in a tie for eighth among kickers in scoring and is a good bet to remain in the top 10, as he's attached to a Cardinals offense led by Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins and Kenyan Drake.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Saints' Wil Lutz: Perfect again

    Lutz made his lone field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point attempts in the Saints' 34-24 loss to the Raiders on Monday.

    His only field-goal attempt came from 31 yards out. Through two weeks, Lutz remains perfect on 10 total kicks, and he'll likely have plenty of opportunity to add to that total in Week 3 against Green Bay.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Nails game-winner

    Butker was a perfect 3-for-3 on field goals, including a game-winning kick from 58 yards out in overtime, Sunday versus the Chargers.

    The only blemish on his record was a blocked PAT, which marked the first miss of any kind so far this season in his kicking game. Even more impressive, Butker hit a pair of kicks from beyond 50 yards Sunday, which can pay major dividends in some fantasy formats. Kansas City's road doesn't get any easier with the Ravens on tap in Week 3 -- this is an opponent that could limit field-goal attempts.

  • Mike Badgley K | BUF

    Chargers' Michael Badgley: Nails two field goals

    Badgley made both of his field-goal attempts and added two extra points in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Chiefs.

    The Chargers' offense looked pretty impressive after rookie quarterback Justin Herbert stepped in for the injured Tyrod Taylor (ribs), which set Badgley up nicely for extra points. Badgley's only missed field goal this season came from 50 yards. After his 43-yard attempt this week was a success, the 25-year-old has yet to miss a kick from 40 yards or shorter this season. Next week's game against the Panthers should set up well for Badgley, as the Panthers have allowed a total of six field goals through two weeks.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Automatic in Houston

    Tucker connected on all four of his field goal attempts Sunday and converted all three of his extra point attempts.

    Tucker was busy again Sunday with seven total kicks and he continued his perfect start to the season. According to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, Tucker has now made 65 consecutive field goals from 40 yards or closer. Tucker leads all kickers in fantasy points with 23.0 through two games.

  • Colts' Rodrigo Blankenship: Hits all six kicks

    Blankenship connected on all four field goals and two extra points in Sunday's 28-11 win over the Vikings.

    Blankenship missed a 30-yard field goal in Week 1, but the undrafted free agent bounced back with perfection against Minnesota, including a 44-yard field goal. The Colts have moved the ball well with Philip Rivers under center, and they draw another favorable matchup in Week 3 with the Jets coming to town.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Misses kick in close loss

    Gano made two of three field goals and his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Bears.

    Gano missed a 57-yard field goal wide left in the waning seconds of the first half, a mistake that is highlighted further by the Giants' four-point loss in which they were on the 10-yard line as time expired. Still, Gano has a strong track record, and his job won't be in jeopardy at this time. He'll look to bounce back in Week 3 versus the 49ers' depleted defense, although the Giants' offense will be without Saquon Barkley (knee) and possibly Sterling Shepard (toe) as well.

  • Nick Folk K | ATL

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Misses long field goal

    Folk made two of three field goals and all three extra points in Sunday's 35-30 loss to the Seahawks.

    Folk sent a 51-yard field goal wide left late in the second quarter, a miss that had reprecussions on the final score. This comes after Folk misfired ona 45-yard attempt in Week 1. However, coach Bill Belichick reiterated Monday that "[Folk] is our kicker," according to Doug Kyed of NESN.com. Expect the veteran to be in the lineup for Week 3's showdown against the Raiders, but his leash could be getting shorter with rookie fifth-round pick Justin Rohrwasser on the practice squad.

  • Football Team's Dustin Hopkins: Drills lone kick

    Hopkins connected on a 24-yard field goal -- his lone kick -- in Sunday's 30-15 loss to the Cardinals.

    The Football Team never got into field-goal range in the first half, and they entered halftime down 20-0. As a result, Hopkins was only afforded one field-goal try, as Washington attempted two-point conversions following both touchdowns in the fourth quarter. These sorts of game scripts won't be unusual for Washington this season, but considering the Browns have let up at least 30 points in both games this year, Hopkins could have a decent opportunity in Week 3.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Drills five extra points

    Myers made all five extra-point tries in Sunday's 35-30 win over the Patriots.

    The Seahawks took three trips to the red zone, but Russell Wilson tossed a touchdown each time, adding two more deep TD passes as well. That meant Myers didn't get any field-goal opportunities in Week 2, although he was perfect on extra points. It's disappointing for fantasy managers, but the Seahawks are highly unlikely to sustain Sunday's red-zone efficiency, meaning Myers is likely due for positive regression in Week 3 versus the Cowboys.
