Tucker connected on all three of his field goals and also went 3-for-3 on extra points Sunday against the Seahawks.

All of Tucker's field goals came from under 30 yards but he was still automatic nonetheless. Tucker is now a perfect 16-for-16 on field goals and 20-for-20 on extra points. He has posted double-digit fantasy points in three straight games as well. Tucker will be on a bye in Week 8 but is one of the rare kickers worth holding onto during an off week. He'll return to action Week 9 against the Patriots.

Butker knocked home each of his three field-goal attempts and three extra-point attempts in Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Butker's effort Sunday marked the third time in seven games that he's attempted at least three field goals. He's tallied the most extra-point attempts in the league through the first seven weeks, though it's come at the expense of fewer field goals compared to some of his fellow kickers. The loss of Patrick Mahomes for some time could slow the Chiefs offensively a bit, which may lessen Butker's impact inthe short term.

Coach Anthony Lynn said Monday that Badgley (groin) hasn't been brought back yet because he's unable to resume kickoff duties, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.

Badgley warmed up prior to Sunday's game against the Titans, suggesting he's close. However, as evidenced by this news, he'll have to get the green light for kickoffs before returning to action. Badgley will certainly have a shot to play Sunday against the Bears, but if he can't go again, it will be Chase McLaughlin handling kicking duties.

Maher went 3-for-3 on field goal attempts and 4-for-4 on extra-point attempts during Sunday's 37-10 win over the Eagles.

Maher set a new career long with the 63-yarder and gave the Cowboys a 27-7 lead heading into halftime. It's been an up-and-down season as the 29-year-old is only 10-for-14 on field goals, but he now has 60-yard makes in back-to-back weeks while converting all 22 of his PATs. The Cowboys have a quality matchup with the Giants on tap for Week 8.

Carlson made his only field-goal attempt and converted all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 42-24 loss to the Packers.

Carlson connected from 45 yards out during the Raiders' opening drive to give his team an early lead, though he would add just three more points throughout the remainder of the contest. The second-year Auburn product has yet to attempt more than one field goal in a given week this season, but the opportunity may arise in Week 8 against a Texans squad that has given up 24 or more points in three consecutive games.

Sanders converted all three extra-point tries during Sunday's loss to the Bills.

Sanders wasn't called upon to attempt a field goal during Sunday's loss. In four of seven games this season, he's had one or zero field-goal opportunities. The second-year kicker is facing a tough Week 8 matchup against the Steelers.

Prater converted his only field-goal attempt as well as all three PATs during Sunday's 42-30 loss to Minnesota.

After a huge performance Monday night in Green Bay, Prater didn't have nearly as many opportunities to kick field goals against a Vikings team that wasn't as stout in the red zone as the Packers were. It didn't help that Prater had a 50-plus yard attempt taken away from him at one point after a successful Vikings challenge and a subsequent Lions false start penalty knocked Detroit out of field-goal range. Given his upside as a fantasy option, Prater should be worth another roll of the dice when the Lions take on a weak Giants defense in Week 8.

Hopkins missed his sole field-goal try during Sunday's loss to the 49ers.

Hopkins' miss came as he dealt with steady rain and muddy field conditions. In six of seven games this season, he's converted one or fewer field goals. Hopkins doesn't warrant fantasy consideration heading into Thursday's tilt against the Vikings.

Gonzalez made both field-goal tries and all three extra-point attempts during Sunday's win over the Giants.

Gonzalez continues to compile solid numbers. He's made 18 of 21 field-goal tries through seven games and has been perfect on point-after attempts. He'll look to keep his momentum up against a stingy New Orleans defense Week 8.

Myers made three of four field-goal attempts and converted a lone extra point in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Ravens.

Myers remains perfect below 40 yards, as he converted on field goals from 31, 34 and 35 yards. However, Myers continues to struggle above the 40-yard mark, as he has made just one of four tries after he missed a 53-yard attempt wide right. He should have an intriguing amount of opportunities in Week 8 against the Falcons, who have allowed at least 34 points in three straight contests.
