  • Football Team's Dustin Hopkins: Misses extra point

    Hopkins made two of three extra points but didn't attempt a field goal in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Browns.

    Washington's offense was a rollercoaster in Week 3, turning the ball over five times but converting on all three red-zone trips. That didn't bode well for Hopkins, and the kicker also missed an extra point. The team could struggle to move the ball against the Ravens in Week 4, so Hopkins will be a risky fantasy play.

    Giants' Graham Gano: Lone scorer against 49ers

    Gano drilled all three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 36-9 loss to the 49ers.

    It was a rough afternoon for the Giants, so Gano's perfection was one of the long bright spots. He hit kicks from 52, 47 and 42 yards out to produce the Giants' only points. Gano has now connected on six of seven field goals and both extra points this season. The Giants' lethargic offense is a concern for Gano's fantasy outlook, so he is a low-floor player moving forward.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Misses 41-yarder in loss

    Carlson made two of three field-goal attempts and converted a pair of extra points in Sunday's 36-20 loss to the Patriots.

    Carlson missed a 41-yard field-goal attempt wide left for his first failure of the 2020 season after remaining perfect through Week 2, though he still managed to log eight points in New England. The Raiders now return home to Las Vegas for a tough matchup against the undefeated Bills.

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Panthers' Joey Slye: Scores 15 points

    Slye made all five of his field-goal attempts but missed his only extra-point try in Sunday's 21-16 win over the Chargers.

    Slye nailed kicks from 29, 24, 30, 22 and 31 yards as Carolina's offense failed to score touchdowns from in close. The one time the Panthers did find the end zone, however, Slye's extra-point try was blocked. Although he'll be disappointed by having missed two of his five PATs so far, with a season-high 15 points Sunday, Slye still sports a healthy 30 through three weeks.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Three points in loss

    Fairbairn did not attempt a field goal and was successful on all three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 28-21 loss to Pittsburgh in Week 3.

    The Texans' wildly inconsistent offense has rendered Fairbairn unplayable -- he's recorded two, 10 and three points through the first three games. Notably, six of Houston's 10 drives ended in three-and-outs Sunday, naturally capping Fairbairn's upside.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Saints' Wil Lutz: Remains perfect

    Lutz connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point attempts in the Saints' 37-30 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Lutz continued his accurate ways, nailing all six of his kicks in the loss. Through three weeks, he's perfect on six field-goal tries and all 10 extra-point attempts. A matchup with Detroit in Week 4 should offer plenty of chances for Lutz to keep his hot streak going.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYJ

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Plays through leg strain

    Koo suffered a leg strain prior to Sunday's game against the Bears, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Koo's injury explains why he didn't handle kickoff duties Sunday. The 26-year-old also had a pair of misses during the loss to Chicago, as he converted two of three field-goal tries and two of three extra-point attempts. He'll look to get fully healthy before Week 4's game against the Packers on Monday Night Football rolls around.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Posts five points

    Santos made one of two field-goal attempts in Chicago's 30-26 victory over the Falcons on Sunday.

    For the second week in a row, Santos missed a field-goal attempt, and it's unlikely that he'll stand in the way of teammate Eddy Pineiro (groin) taking back his roster spot when Pineiro's ready to return from injured reserve. Although Pineiro is eligible to return next week, there has been no word as to when the team will be faced with a roster decision.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Perfect again in win

    Boswell made both his field-goal attempts and both his extra-point tries during Sunday's 28-21 win over the Texans.

    He connected on a 33-yard field goal to get Pittsburgh on the scoreboard and closed out his day with a 26-yard field goal, with two PATs sandwiched in between. Boswell has been a must-start option in all fantasy formats this season but faces a Tennessee defense in Week 4 that yields just 4.7 points per game to opposing kickers.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Perfect in first win

    Sanders converted his sole field-goal attempt and all four extra-point tries during Thursday's 31-13 win over the Jaguars.

    Sanders remains perfect on the year, though he's now been held to a single field-goal attempt in two of three games. Despite his flawless accuracy, Sanders' low volume of attempts robs him of a reliable fantasy ceiling.
