Prater missed his only field-goal attempt but converted all three extra-point tries during Sunday's 42-21 loss to Green Bay.

Detroit has struggled to move the ball in the absence of two key offensive pieces, receiver Kenny Golladay (hamstring) and lineman Halapoulivaati Vaitai (foot). Combined with the Lions' inability to find the end zone when they were able to get into scoring position Sunday, Prater ultimately wound up with a single field-goal attempt from 57 yards out, which he missed wide right. If Golladay and Vaitai are able to return in Week 3 -- which seems possible -- Prater could be in for a bounce-back performance against a Cardinals team that has pushed the tempo (79.5 offensive snaps per game) through two weeks into the 2020 campaign.

Bass connected on his only field-goal try -- a 39-yarder -- and made all four extra-point attempts in Sunday's win over Miami.

The field goal was ultimately the difference in the 31-28 win, as Bass looked a lot more comfortable than a shaky Week 1 that might have had some questioning why he was kept over longtime veteran Stephen Hauschka. Bass should have some leash as an actual draft pick -- rare for a kicker -- though playing for a team that should be in contention this season and having a number of important games will mean he'll have to produce like he did in Week 2.

Sanders converted both of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 33-28 loss to the Bills.

Sanders made a kick from 52 yards just before halftime, and he then nailed his final try from 45 yards on the first drive of the fourth quarter. The third-year pro is perfect on the year through two contests, and he could see a slight uptick in opportunities against the Jaguars on Thursday if the contest evolves into a low-scoring affair.

Zuerlein connected on both his field-goal attempts and all four of his PATs in Sunday's comeback win over the Falcons.

His final kick was clutch, as Zuerlein calmly drilled a 46-yard field goal with zeros on the clock to secure the improbable 40-39 victory. The 32-year-old is off to a solid start to his Dallas tenure, and he should continue to get plenty of scoring opportunities alongside one of the most talent-laden offenses in the NFL.

Slye made his lone field-goal attempt as well as both his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Buccaneers.

Slye, who missed an extra point in Week 1, was perfect on his three kicks Sunday, converting from 23 yards on his only field goal. Through two games, the second-year kicker now sports 15 points.

Boswell made his lone field-goal attempt and a trio of extra-point tries in Pittsburgh's 26-21 win over Denver Sunday.

He converted two PATs and a 21-yard field goal that gave Pittsburgh a 17-3 halftime lead. He remained perfect on the day after halftime, making good on his one point-after attempt in the second half. Allowing a league-worst 12.5 points per game to opposing kickers, Week 3 opponent Houston makes Boswell a must-start option in all formats.

Fairbairn made all three of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point kick for 10 points in Sunday's 33-16 loss to the Ravens in Week 2.

Fairbairn rebounded from a disappointing two-point effort Week 1. The Texans' offense made only two forays into the red zone, so they needed Fairbairn's leg more than they would like, including boots of 44 and 45 yards. Houston's offense hasn't been in sync the first two games, which could make for inconsistency from Fairbairn. Perhaps it's due to the new weapons or a new play-caller, offensive coordinator Tim Kelly. Houston looks to solve it's issues Week 3 on the road against Pittsburgh.

Elliott made both of his field-goal attempts and added one extra point in Sunday's 37-19 loss to the Rams.

Elliott has put away three of his four field-goal tries this season. His only miss has come from over 50 yards. The Memphis product will likely see more opportunities in Week 3 against the Bengals.

Koo went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on point-after tries during Sunday's 40-39 loss to the Cowboys.

One week after Koo converted on his third onside kick attempt in as many tries, Dallas' Greg Zuerlein executed a successful onsider of his own, kick-rolling a ball slowly to the 10-yard threshold and enabling C.J. Goodwin to pounce on the loose ball as soon as he became eligible to do so. Koo wasn't granted the opportunity to execute any special-teams miracles during the Week 2 loss, though he was flawless on his seven combined field goal and PATs. He is now 29-for-32 on field-goal tries in his Falcons career, heading into a Week 3 matchup against the Bears.

Santos connected on one of two field-goal attempts in Chicago's 17-13 victory over the Giants on Sunday.

After posting an impressive nine points in the season opener, the missed field goal by Santos resulted in him posting a disappointing fantasy performance. It's possible next week could be his last game with the Bears if Eddy Pineiro (groin) is activated from injured reserve.
