Koo went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and converted on his lone extra-point try during Sunday's 35-22 loss to the Buccaneers.

The former Chargers kicker has been extremely efficient in the early going of his Falcons career, knocking down 10 of 11 field goals and seven of seven PATs. During Sunday's inter-divisional showdown of sub-.500 clubs, Koo converted on field-goal tries of 25, 38 and 40 yards. While he's hit better than 90 percent of his attempts through three games, Koo has yet to be tested from 50-plus yards as Atlanta heads into a Thanksgiving night matchup against a Saints defense that ranks among the top 10 in the NFL with just 2.9 red-zone scoring attempts allowed per game.

McLaughlin will serve as the 49ers' kicker for Sunday's game against the Packers with Robbie Gould (hip) inactive.

For the third straight game, McLaughlin will work as the team's starting kicker. The rookie has been solid, connecting on four of five field goals and all four extra-point tries. Gould is making progress in recovery, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, so McLaughlin's days in the Bay Area may soon be numbered.

Boswell made all three of his field-goal attempts (26, 26, 47) and his lone extra-point try in Pittsburgh's 16-10 win over Cincinnati on Sunday.

After suffering his first missed kick under 50 yards last week and averaging just three points in the previous two games, Boswell delivered a nice effort in an otherwise low-scoring affair. With several players still on the mend -- and questions as to who will be under center for Pittsburgh in Week 13 -- fantasy owners should look elsewhere for a kicker against a Cleveland team that held Boswell to one point two weeks ago.

Pineiro converted a pair of field goals along with an extra point in the Bears' 19-14 victory over the Giants on Sunday.

Although it didn't end up hurting the team, Pineiro missed one of his two extra-point attempts. With his recent struggles, there's room for concern as to whether the Bears will continue to keep him on the roster. This was the first time in four weeks that Pineiro scored more than two fantasy points, making him difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

Fairbairn made both of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point kicks in Thursday's 20-17 win over the Colts .

Fairbairn connected from 35 and 36 yards and remains a perfect 9-for-9 inside the 40-yard line. His overall productivity, however, has dropped off in 2019, largely due to Houston scoring more touchdowns when entering the red zone. Fairbairn ranks 23rd among kickers with 6.5 points per game.

Myers was a full participant in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

As such, Myers will be good to go for Week 12 at Philadelphia. He's made 14-of-19 field-goal attempts on the year and hasn't missed from inside 40 yards.

Myers (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Coming out of the bye week, Myers is battling a hip injury that makes his status uncertain for Sunday's game against the Eagles. The Seahawks haven't signed another kicker to the roster, so they may not view this as a problem moving forward. Nevertheless, continue to monitor his practice capacity as the week progresses.

Zuerlein connected on a 38-yard field goal and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Bears.

Zuerlein's been unusually shaky this year, as he made 18 of 23 tries (78 percent) -- his worst conversion rate since 2015. The 31-year-old has yet to miss an extra point, though, and he's drilled everything under 40 yards over the last two seasons. Zuerlein and the Rams will take on a strong Baltimore defense in Week 12.

Badgley connected on three of his four field-goal attempts in the 24-17 loss Monday to the Chiefs.

Badgley's miss was a critical one, as the Chargers were playing with all the momentum in the first half, only for their multiyear kicking woes to resurface once more. The second-year kicker is now 80 percent on field-goal attempts this season, although both of his misses have come from the 40- to 49-yard range, and he hasn't even attempted a field goal from 50 or more yards.

Butker knocked home his only field-goal attempt and all three of his extra points Monday against the Chargers.

Scoring was scarce to come by Monday in Mexico City, but Butker took advantage of his minimal opportunities in the kicking game. The NFL's top kicker in terms of points has a bye week on tap before the Chiefs return to action in Week 13 to face an Oakland defense surrendering 25.0 points per game.
