Zane Gonzalez K | MIA
Cardinals' Zane Gonzalez: Makes five kicks Sunday
Gonzalez made two of three field-goal attempts and all three extra-point attempts during Sunday's 27-13 win over Seattle.
Gonzalez missed his first field goal since Week 5 when his 45-yard attempt was blocked during the third quarter, though he still converted from 22 and 46 yards Sunday. The 24-year-old is enjoying a fantastic first full season in Arizona, as he's 30-for-34 on field goals and 31-for-32 on extra points through 15 games.

Dustin Hopkins K | CLE
Redskins' Dustin Hopkins: Attempts zero field goals
Hopkins converted all five extra-points and did not attempt a field goal during Sunday's 41-35 overtime loss to the Giants.
The 29-year-old didn't attempt a field goal for the third time this season, despite the Redskins posting their highest point total of the year. The 29-year-old is 22-for-27 on field goals and 20-for-21 on extra-point tries through 15 games this season.

Greg Zuerlein K | NYJ
Rams' Greg Zuerlein: Costly missed field goal
Zuerlein connected on one of his two field-goal attempts and all four extra-point kicks during Saturday's 34-31 loss to San Francisco.
While it was early in the third quarter when Zuerlein missed a 52-yard, field-goal attempt, it was still costly. The veteran has missed half of his field-goal kicks over the past four weeks and owns an underwhelming 74.2 conversion percentage for the campaign. It's a disappointing mark after Zuerlein hit 90.3 percent over the previous three seasons, but it is worth noting he missed practices this week because of a quadriceps injury.

Chase McLaughlin K | TB
Colts' Chase McLaughlin: Makes lone field-goal attempt
McLaughlin converted his only field-goal attempt and all five extra-point attempts during Sunday's 38-6 win over the Panthers.
The 23-year-old made his only field goal during the third quarter as the Colts were seemingly in command of this contest from the start. McLaughlin is now 3-for-4 on field goals and 9-for-9 on extra points in three games since taking over for Adam Vinatieri (knee).

Nick Folk K | ATL
Patriots' Nick Folk: Converts all four kicks
Folk made all three field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point attempt during Saturday's 24-17 win over the Bills.
Folk continued his strong campaign for New England by converting from 20, 36 and 51 yards in the pivotal divisional matchup. The 35-year-old is 13-for-16 on field goals and 9-for-9 on extra points in six games, though two of those misses came from 40-plus yards in brutal weather Week 12.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Saints' Wil Lutz: Drills six kicks in win
Lutz made his only field-goal attempt and connected on all five of his extra-point tries in the Saints' 38-28 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Lutz was perfect once again, connecting on all six of his kicks in Sunday's win. The performance extends his streak of perfection to seven games, as he's now made 16 of 16 field-goal attempts and 23 of 23 extra-point tries since returning from the Week 9 bye. Lutz will look to continue his mistake-free stretch in Week 17 when the Saints travel to Carolina.

Eddy Pineiro K | SF
Bears' Eddy Pineiro: Collects three points
Pineiro made his only field-goal attempt in the Bears' 26-3 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Pineiro was good from 46 yards out, and he failed to receive a couple other chances to kick when the Bears were forced to throw the ball on fourth downs late in the game. He's failed to top seven points in any of his last eight games, and he'll be a low-upside lineup option in Week 17 against the Vikings.

Younghoe Koo K | NYG
Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Misses another kick
Koo went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on PATs during Sunday's 24-12 win against the Jaguars.
The 25-year-old may be the most accomplished onside kicker of the 2019 NFL season, while he's gone 82.4 percent on field goals since Week 11. Upcoming next is a promising opportunity for Koo if he can level out his consistency, with Atlanta taking on a Buccaneers team that ranks tied for 32nd in the NFL with 2.5 field-goal attempts allowed per game.

Chris Boswell K | PIT
Steelers' Chris Boswell: Hurt by offensive struggles
Boswell made his lone field-goal (49 yards) and extra-point attempt in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Jets.
This was a repeat of Boswell's performance in Week 15 as Pittsburgh's offense continues to be anemic. Although he scored 11 points against Baltimore earlier this season, Boswell shouldn't be counted on by fantasy owners still playing in Week 17.

Jason Sanders K | MIA
Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Active as expected Week 16
Sanders (illness) is active for Sunday's Week 16 tilt against the Bengals.
This merely serves as official confirmation of what was already expected, as coach Brian Flores had stated he expected Sanders to play, and the Dolphins had not brought in any other placekickers as a contingency plan. Sanders will thus be available to face a Bengals squad that's allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to kickers (8.6) in standard scoring formats.
