Carlson made his lone field-goal attempt from 48 yards and added a trio of extra-point conversions in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Chargers.

Carlson didn't do anything to negatively impact his job security in Week 16, which is an improvement from the dicey stretch that preceded Sunday's tilt in Los Angeles. He'll look to stay on track during the Raiders' regular season finale against Denver as the silver and black fight for a playoff spot.

Gay converted field-goal attempts of 50 and 41 yards, had a 54-yard attempt blocked, and converted two extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Saturday.

Gay was banged up on the first-quarter block, but his ability to drill a 50-yarder later in the period corroborated his health. The rookie heads into the regular-season finale against the Falcons with a solid 84.4 percent success rate on 32 field-goal attempts and 122 points overall, making him one of the best fantasy assets at the position on the season.

Tucker converted one field goal and all four of his extra-point attempts Sunday against the Browns.

Tucker is on pace to finish the season with the fewest field-goal attempts of his career as he's attempted just 25 through 15 games. He has never attempted fewer than 33 field goals in any season of his eight-year career, nor has he made fewer than 29 field goals in any of those seasons. His accuracy is near his peak, though, as Tucker has converted 96 percent of his field goals, which is second only to his 97.4 percent conversion rate in 2016. Of course, Tucker has made up for the lack of field goals with a massive spike in extra points. Tucker is already 15 extra-point attempts ahead of his previous career high as he heads into the season finale against the Steelers. Only Harrison Butker and Will Lutz have more fantasy points than Tucker among kickers.

Butker made both of his field-goal attempts and two of his three extra-point attempts Sunday against the Bears.

Butker has now missed three PATs on the season but continues to convert field goals at a high percentage, knocking home at least 89 percent in each of his first three seasons. Butker added another make from 50-plus Sunday, upping his season percentage to 50 from 50 or beyond. From inside the 50, Butker has been superb, nailing 30 of his 31 attempts.

McManus converted field goals of 34 and 26 yards and all three of his point-after tries during Sunday's 27-17 win over the Lions.

McManus snapped a two-game streak in which he kicked just a single field goal. Still, he's seventh in the league with 26 made field goals and his 11 conversion of at least 40 yards are tied for fifth in the league. The season ends Sunday against a Raiders team against whom McManus converted three of four field goal attempts in Week 1.

Prater converted his only field-goal attempt and both of his PATs during Sunday's 27-17 loss to Green Bay.

The return of Kerryon Johnson didn't bring enough of a lift to the Lions offense to make Prater fantasy-relevant. The limitations of quarterback David Blough simply haven't allowed for many scoring opportunities, and Prater's numbers have suffered. After averaging over 2.2 attempts in the first 11 games of the season, Prater has only attempted five in David Blough's four consecutive starts. It'll remain hard to trust the otherwise dependable Prater during Sunday's season finale against the Packers.

Joseph made all four of his extra-point attempts in the team's Week 16 loss to the Saints.

Joseph wasn't tested in particularly difficult fashion as he was not asked to attempt a field goal in his debut with the team. However, he did make all four of his extra-point attempts, eliminating mistakes in the kicking game that had plagued the Titans for much of the season. With Ryan Succop on injured reserve (knee), Joseph is likely to serve as the team's kicker in Week 17 against the Texans.

Elliott made one of his three field-goal tries and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's 17-9 victory over the Cowboys.

Elliott converted a 36-yarder to get Philadelphia out to a 3-0 lead in the first quarter but failed from 53 yards with just 34 seconds remaining in the second, allowing the Cowboys to set up a field goal before the half expired. He'd hook a 55-yard try wide left in the fourth that again set up a Dallas field goal on the succeeding drive. The two attempts from beyond 50 yards were just his second and third of the year.

Myers made a 51-yard field goal and two extra points in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Cardinals.

It was Myers' second field goal made over 50 yards this year, and he's now made 11 straight field goals, although only three of them were from beyond 40 yards. Myers has made 23 of 28 field goals this year (82 percent) and all 17 from under 40.

Sanders made one of two field-goal attempts and all five extra-point tries during Sunday's 38-35 overtime win against the Bengals.

Sanders missed a 47-yard field-goal try in the fourth quarter, but he made up for the error by maintaining perfect accuracy on point-after tries and sealing the contest in OT as time expired. The second-year placekicker was initially listed as questionable for Week 16 due to an illness but managed to play through the issue.
