Lutz made both of his field-goal attempts as well as all four extra-point tries in Monday night's 34-7 win over the Colts.

Lutz has been good for this exact same stat line in four of his last five games. Only the distances of the field goals have varied. He remains a top kicking option heading into Week 16 at Tennessee.

Carlson made three of four field-goal attempts and an extra point in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Jaguars.

Carlson converted on tries from 33, 34 and 27 yards, but he kicked a 45-yard try in the fourth quarter wide left. The second-year kicker has now missed three of his last eight field-goal tries -- all from beyond 40 yards. Still, coach Jon Gruden said he won't bring in kicker competition this week, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports. "We are going to see this kid kick himself out of it," Gruden said. " I got a lot of faith in this guy. I really do." For now, Carlson's job is safe, but he'll need a strong end to the season to up his chances of becoming a Las Vegas Raider.

Badgley connected on his lone field-goal attempt and single extra-point attempt in the 39-10 loss Sunday to the Vikings.

The scoreline says it all, as the Chargers fell hopelessly behind early, relegating Badgley to an afterthought. The 24-year-old has yet to miss a kick from 45 yards or shorter in 2019.

Butker converted all three of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Butker didn't attempt an extra-point on the day, as the first touchdown resulted in a botched snap by punter Dustin Colquitt, and the second was a two-point conversion to make up the lost points. Even with a tough Bears defense up next, the Chiefs offense should move the ball enough to get Butker tries again in Week 16.

Elliott made his lone field-goal attempt and four extra points in Sunday's 37-27 win over Washington.

Elliott made a 25-yard field goal on the Eagles' opening drive of the game. He's missed just two of 21 attempts on the year while making 29 of 31 extra-point attempts.

Head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Zuerlein is dealing with a muscle strain in his leg and is questionable for Saturday's game against the 49ers, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Zuerlein was barely used in Sunday's 44-21 loss to Dallas, making his only extra-point attempt. It's unclear how he sustained the injury, but the fact that he could miss time suggests it's cause for concern. McVay said the team will explore its options at kicker this week just in case, but it's still too early for Zuerlein to be in serious jeopardy of missing Week 16.

McManus converted a 32-yard field goal during Sunday's 23-3 loss in Kansas City.

Sunday was the second time in Denver's last four games in which McManus accounted for the Broncos' entire scoring output with a single field goal. Despite that modest production, McManus still ranks seventh in the league with 24 field goals. He will end the season in the Mile High air against Detroit and Oakland, owners of, respectively, the league's 26th- and 28th-ranked scoring defenses.

Zuerlein connected on his only extra-point attempt during Sunday's 44-21 loss to Dallas.

The Cowboys got ahead in the second quarter and took Zuerlein out of the game before halftime. It was a disappointing fantasy showing for the veteran, and obviously, at the wrong time of the season. Unfortunately, a road date with the 49ers in Week 16 doesn't project as a favorable setup, either.

Prater made a 44-yard kick and two extra points in Sunday's 38-17 loss to the Buccaneers.

Prater has now hit 27 straight extra points, and he's connected on 23 of 28 field goals (82 percent). He continues to be excellent from deep as well, making six of seven field goals from beyond 50 yards. Prater could hit some deep bombs in Week 16 at Denver's high altitude.

Gay drilled a 46-yard field goal and clanked a 54-yard attempt off the left upright while also making all five of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 38-17 win over the Lions on Sunday.

It was another busy day for Gay, as the Buccaneers racked up their second consecutive 38-point tally. Gay did see a streak of 15 straight successful kicks come to an end with the long misfire, but he continues to profile as an elite asset heading into fantasy title games in Week 16, with the possibility of an uptick in field-goal opportunities if Tampa is missing both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin due to hamstring injuries.
