Sanders made both extra-point attempts during Sunday's 37-20 divisional loss to the Bills.

Sanders has now logged four games without a field-goal attempt in 10 contests. His lack of opportunities Sunday came due to Miami's offense stalling with regularity, as has been the norm this season. The second-year pro isn't worth fantasy consideration heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Browns.

McLaughlin converted his lone field-goal attempt from 43 yards out and was 3-for-3 on point-after tries in Sunday's 36-26 win over Arizona.

McLaughlin didn't suffer any mental blocks after shanking a potential game-winning field goal against Seattle last week, as he was a perfect 4-for-4 overall on kicks in a tight contest. Robbie Gould's (quadriceps) status will be up in the air heading into a primetime matchup against the Packers on Sunday, while the rookie fill-in has likely won back the trust of the team to continue kicking in the event its veteran starter is unable to go.

Slye made his only kick, a 31-yard field goal, in Sunday's 29-3 loss to the Falcons.

Slye scored Carolina's only points, and although he did all that was required of him, the rookie's production has tailed off in recent weeks. In the Panthers' last four games, he's managed merely 16 points, marking a stark contrast compared to his 56 through the first six weeks.

Coach Matt Nagy said after Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Rams that Pineiro won't be replaced as Chicago's kicker after missing both of his field-goal attempts in the contest, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Pineiro misfired from 48 and 47 yards in the first quarter before knocking down an extra point in the second half for his lone scoring of the night. Though Nagy gave Pineiro a vote of confidence, it's still not out of the question that the Bears will explore other options after watching the second-year player miss four field goals and an extra-point attempt over the last four games.

Fairbairn missed his lone field-goal attempt and converted one extra-point kick in Sunday's 41-7 loss to the Ravens in Week 11.

Fairbairn was wide right late in the first half on a 43-yard attempt, his second miss in as many weeks. It was the fifth time in 10 games that Fairbairn has been held to one field goal or fewer.

Koo went 3-for-4 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on extra points during Sunday's 29-3 win against the Panthers.

Koo missed his first career field goal as a Falcon, but with Atlanta having won two straight games and the kicker perfect on his other seven tries, many backers of the team are likely to shrug off the failed 38-yard attempt. Though the Falcons' 26-point margin of victory masked the error somewhat, the reliability of the kicking game will be paramount if Atlanta is to go on a six-game run and give itself any chance whatsoever at the postseason. Upcoming next for Koo is a matchup against a Buccaneers defense that is giving up 3.9 red-zone scoring attempts per game.

Will Lutz connected on both of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point attempts in the Saints' 34-17 blowout victory over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Both of Lutz's field goals came in the first quarter, as he drilled kicks from 44 and 26-yards out. He's been perfect since the Week 9 bye, going 5-for-5 on field goals and 4-for-4 on extra points.

Gay drilled his only field-goal attempt from 55 yards and also was good on both of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 34-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

The rookie got another opportunity to show off the booming leg that caught the team's eye coming out of college, with Gay drilling his third kick of more than 50 yards in four tries this season. The Buccaneers' offense typically provides Gay with more scoring chances than he saw Sunday, but even in a game where he sees a downturn in opportunity, he can still reward fantasy managers. Gay will hope to square up on multiple field-goal attempts in a Week 12 matchup against the Falcons.

McLaughlin will be the 49ers' kicker in Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals because Robbie Gould (quadriceps) is inactive, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

This decision was expected after Gould carried a doubtful tag into this outing. McLaughlin was solid in his first start with the 49ers last week, connecting on three of four field-goal attempts, including two over 40 yards. Although the rookie missed a potential game-winning kick, coach Kyle Shanahan has faith in McLaughlin, who will look to build off of Week 10's performance in this divisional matchup.

McLaughlin is expected to remain the 49ers' kicker Sunday against the Cardinals with Robbie Gould (quadriceps) listed as doubtful for the contest, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

McLaughlin filled in for Gould in Monday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Seahawks, nailing an extra point and field goals from 39, 43 and 47 yards in regulation but badly missing on a 47-yard game winner will less than three minutes left in the extra period. Despite the misfire, McLaughlin appears set to get another shot at redemption in Week 11, barring an unexpected recovery from Gould over the next two days. The 49ers didn't work out any kickers following the Monday night loss, signaling that they're contend to proceed with McLaughlin until Gould is back to full health.
