Maher connected on one of two field-goal attempts and all three of his extra points in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

The Cowboys' first drive of the night stalled at the Minnesota 39-yard line, and Maher ended up missing the ensuing 57-yard FG attempt -- setting up the Vikings for their first TD of the night after they exploited the excellent field position. The Dallas kicker did boot a 23-yarder in the fourth quarter, however. Maher has converted only 70 percent (14-for-20) of his field-goal opportunities this season, but four of the six misses have come from 50-plus yards, and he's a perfect 29-for-29 on PATs.

Gay drilled field-goal attempts of 30, 45 and 41 yards and all three of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 30-27 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Gay would have been 2-for-3 if not for the Cardinals being called offsides on his 46-yard misfire wide left early in the fourth quarter. Gay attempted the kick again five yards closer and drilled it to snap 20-20 tie at the time. The rookie now has 12 successful kicks in 13 tries over the last two games, as the Buccaneers' aggressive offense continues to afford him no shortage of scoring opportunities. Factoring in Sunday's production, Gay has an 86.4 percent success rate on field goals and has scored 80 points overall.

Butker nailed four of his five field-goal attempts and two of his three extra-point attempts Sunday against the Titans.

Butker was perfect on field goals when he took the field for a game-tying attempt with just three seconds remaining. Unfortunately, that didn't go well, with the Titans blocking his 52-yard attempt as time expired. The final missed kick doesn't detract from his solid overall fantasy day, and there's a good chance he will continue seeing opportunities to kick with Patrick Mahomes piloting a high-powered Chiefs offense.

Carlson converted two of three field-goal attempts and two of three extra-point tries in Thursday's 26-24 win over the Chargers.

Carlson's missed 53-yard attempt wasn't much of a concern, but his failure to convert an extra point with roughly one minute remaining in the contest gave the Chargers life. The Raiders' defense prevailed down the stretch, however, so Carlson can forget about the error and look forward to an easier matchup in Week 11 against the Bengals.

Tucker converted all seven of his extra-point attempts Sunday against the Bengals.

The Ravens hung 49 points on the Bengals and Tucker hit on each of the extra-point tries, moving him to 31 of 32 on extra points in 2019. Tucker is one of three kickers averaging 9.0 fantasy points per game or more, alongside Kansas City's Harrison Butker and Arizona's Zane Gonzalez. He will return home in Week 12 when the Ravens host the Texans.

Slye made his only field-goal attempt as well as his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Packers.

Slye converted from 50 yards on his field goal, now giving him five makes from at least that far already this season. Although he's managed just 13 points over the past three games, Slye's season total of 69 is still rather respectable.

Zuerlein connected on one of his two field-goal attempts and converted his lone extra-point kick during Sunday's 17-12 loss to Pittsburgh.

Zuerlein's miss came from 56 yards, so it was hardly a chip shot, and the miss isn't as concerning as his dwindling opportunities. The Los Angeles offense is struggling against formidable defenses, and it's hurt the kicker's numbers in three of the past four games. His fantasy value is beginning to decline.

Prater made both of his field-goal attempts as well as his only PAT during Sunday's 20-13 loss to Chicago.

Another 50-yard field goal salvaged Prater's fantasy output on a day quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) was surprisingly not able to play. However, the general ineptitude of replacement starter Jeff Driskel could continue to limit the Lions' scoring chances, so it may be wise to avoid Prater in Week 11 on the road against the Cowboys should Stafford again be ruled out.

Sanders made all three field-goal attempts and his sole extra-point try during Sunday's 16-12 win over the Colts.

Sanders had his best game of the season Sunday, converting field-goal tries from 47, 48 and 48 yards out. Miami's offense has proven somewhat more consistent as of late, so Sanders could be worth fantasy consideration Week 11 against a Bills defense known for stinginess in the red zone.

Gonzalez converted both field-goal tries and all three extra-point attempts during Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Buccaneers.

Gonzalez has now made 24 of 27 field-goal attempts and all 18 extra-point tries this season. His toughest attempt of the day came in the form of a 54-yard conversion. The 2017 seventh-round pick will look to keep his momentum up against a stingy 49ers' defense Week 11.
