  • Redskins' Dustin Hopkins: Connects on five kicks

    Hopkins made two field goals and three extra points in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Eagles.

    Hopkins set a season high when he connected from 53 yards in the fourth quarter, and he drilled a 43-yarder on the next drive. The 29-year-old kicker is enjoying a decent season, as he's made 22 of 27 kicks (81 percent). The Redskins host the Giants in Week 16.

  • Cardinals' Zane Gonzalez: Connects on five extra points

    Gonzalez made a 21-yard field goal and five extra points in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Browns.

    Gonzalez hasn't missed a field goal since Week 5, including four kicks from beyond 40 yards over those nine games. The 24-year-old kicker has been superb this year, making 28 of 31 field goals (90 percent) and 28 of 29 extra points (97 percent).

  • Nick Folk K | ATL

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Impressive in win

    Folk made two field goals and four extra points in Sunday's 34-13 win over the Bengals.

    Folk didn't miss Sunday, as he converted field goals from 40 and 46 yards. After missing three kicks over the previous two weeks, this is a good sign for Folk, who tightened his grasp on the starting placekicker role. The Patriots host the Bills in Week 16.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Comes down to earth

    Sanders made two of three field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries during Sunday's 36-20 loss to the Giants.

    While Sanders didn't match Week 14's outlier of eight field-goal attempts, he turned in a solid fantasy performance during Sunday's loss. He's got an advantageous matchup against the Bengals on deck Week 16.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Makes four kicks

    Myers converted a 30-yard field-goal attempt and three of four extra points in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Panthers.

    Myers' extra-point miss could've been costly if the Seahawks weren't able to ice the game on the final drive. He's now missed two extra points in as many games, but the 28-year-old has connected on his last nine field-goal attempts, including two kicks over 40 yards. Myers and the Seahawks host Arizona in Week 16.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Four points in defensive battle

    Boswell made his lone field-goal (49 yards) and extra-point attempt in Pittsburgh's 17-10 loss to Buffalo on Sunday night.

    Coming into the contest, the Bills had allowed the least fantasy points to opposing kickers (3.7 per game), so it was no surprise that Boswell would have few scoring opportunities. On a personal note, the field goal was the 125th of his career -- fourth most in franchise history. Boswell has a more attractive game in Week 16, as opposing kickers average 7.4 fantasy points per game against the Jets.

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Panthers' Joey Slye: Perfect in defeat

    Slye made his only field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Seahawks.

    Slye converted from 52 yards on his lone field goal and has now gone three straight games without a missed kick. That has helped stabilize his value following his Week 12 letdown against the Saints. With two weeks left in the season, Slye currently sits on 96 points scored for the campaign.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Perfect in Week 15 win

    Fairbairn made his lone field-goal attempt and all three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Titans in Week 15.

    The Texans were in the red zone five times and converted three for touchdowns. The other two ended with Fairbairn's 29-yard field goal and an interception. He has just 22 field-goal attempts in 2019 after a league-leading 42 tries last season. Houston's red-zone efficiency has robbed Fairbairn of opportunities; however, the third-year kicker is in line for a potentially productive Week 15 when Houston faces Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers rank 30th in scoring defense.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYJ

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Onside kick called off by penalty

    Koo made his lone field-goal attempt from 43 yards out and went 2-for-2 on point-after tries during Sunday's 29-22 win against the 49ers.

    The trick shot specialist converted yet another successful onside kick Week 15 against San Francisco, but the play was waved off by an illegal formation penalty. The reigning Special Teams Player of the Week pooched a beautiful bouncing kickoff attempt into the arms of Foyesade Oluokun, as Atlanta benefited from the element of surprise in recovering an onside kick to open up the second half, but after the five-yard penalty was enforced Atlanta elected to boot it deep. In addition to being a secret weapon on kickoffs, Koo has been more reliable as a place kicker of late as well, nailing all 11 of his field goals and PATs over the past two weeks after failing on one of each Week 13 against the Saints.

  • Bears' Eddy Pineiro: Posts seven points

    Pineiro connected on two field goals and an extra point in Chicago's 21-13 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Pineiro posted seven or fewer points for the seventh-straight time, and he'll be a low-upside fantasy option in a Week 16 home matchup against the Chiefs.
