Myers didn't attempt a field goal but connected on all three extra points in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the 49ers.

This was the first time Myers didn't try a field goal since Week 3. He'll end the regular season with 23 made field goals on 28 attempts (82 percent), and he made all 17 tries from within 40 yards. Myers has never played an NFL playoff game, so we'll see how he responds to the pressure in Sunday's wild-card game against the Eagles.

Sanders made both his field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries during Sunday's 27-24 win over the Patriots.

Sanders played his part perfectly during Sunday's upset divisional win. He finishes the season having converted 23 of 30 field-goal tries and 29 of 30 extra-point attempts across 16 contests, though it's worth noting that seven of his field goals came Week 14 against the Jets. Sanders also caught a touchdown Week 13 via a fourth-and-goal trick play. The New Mexico product remains under contract in Miami through 2021.

Boswell made his lone field-goal (26 yards) and extra-point attempts in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Ravens.

Boswell was the victim of an underwhelming offense and scored just four points for a third straight game. Still, this was a bounce-back year for Boswell, who finished the 2019 season as the eighth highest scoring kicker in the league and third best in the AFC. Playing in all 16 games, Boswell tied for first in the league by hitting 100 percent of his extra points (28) and third in the league with a 93.5 field-goal percentage -- converting 29 of 31 attempts -- with a long of 51 yards. If the Steelers can avoid the multitude of injuries that derailed this season, Boswell will be a high-upside kicker option in 2020.

Koo went 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts, while sinking his lone point-after try during Sunday's 28-22 overtime win against the Buccaneers.

Across eight games as Atlanta's placekicker, Koo established a proficient 88.5 percent conversion rate on field goals as well as a 15-for-16 mark on PATs. Koo got off to a shaky start to his Falcons career by missing three of his first 12 tries from the field, but he steadied out and was able to convert on 14 consecutive kicks to close out 2019. In addition to his improved accuracy, Koo also provided the unique benefit of being an effective onside kicker, successfully converting two onside kicks this season while having another two offset by penalty. Koo's contract expires over the offseason, but with a lack of reliable kicking options across the NFL, Koo may be brought back for the sixth year of the Dan Quinn era.

Lutz made all six of his extra-point attempts in the Saints' 42-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

He'll end the year going 32-of-36 on field goals and 48-of-49 on extra points, making all 15 of his field-goal attempts from inside 40 yards. Lutz has been an elite option at his position all season, and he'll take his accurate leg into the playoffs.

Pineiro converted four field goals and an extra point in the Bears' 21-19 win over the Vikings in Week 17, and he finished the season with 23 field goals in 28 attempts.

Pineiro was a disappointment in his first season with the Bears, as he made just 82 percent of his field-goal attempts. In terms of fantasy, he only surpassed seven points on four occasions, and as he enters the last year of a two-year contract, he'll be a marginal fantasy option in 2020 drafts.

Prater (illness) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Prater was added to the injury report Friday as a limited participant and received the questionable tag due to the illness, but it won't end up impacting his availability for Week 17. The 35-year-old is 24-for-29 on field goals and 33-for-34 on extra points this season and will look to finish the 2019 campaign on a strong note.

Prater is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers due to an illness, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Prater took every rep during the Lions' first two practices of the week before the ailment limited his activity in Friday's session, prompting Detroit to give him a designation for the regular-season finale. Unless the Lions add another kicker to the 53-man roster prior to Saturday's deadline for Week 17 transactions, Prater probably won't be at any real risk of sitting out against Green Bay.

Gay (back) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

It sounds like Gay is feeling better and will be able to handle his kicking duties to close out the season Week 17 against the Falcons. He's made 27 of his 32 field-goal tries this season, with three of the misses coming from beyond 50 yards.

Gay (back) was a limited participant in Wednesday's projected practice report.

Gay was banged up on a field-goal attempt that was blocked in the team's Week 16 loss to the Texans. However, he remained in the game and later made a 50-yard field goal, giving some indication that the injury was minor. That he was projected to be a limited participant Wednesday is a positive sign for his availability in the team's Week 17 matchup against the Falcons.
