Slye made three of five field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-26 win over the Buccaneers.

Slye converted from 49, 46 and 29 yards on his respective field-goal makes, but missed a rarely seen, 60-yard fair-catch kick as the first-half clock expired. Like that attempt, he also missed wide right from 41 yards in the second half. Despite those failures, however, Slye still notched an impressive 13 points, giving him 56 through Carolina's first six outings.

Fairbairn converted one of two field-goal attempts and two of three extra-point attempts in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Chiefs in Week 6.

Fairbairn has missed kicks in each of the last four games, although none have been costly. At some point, however, the sheer volume of misses could cost him a job, and last year's leading scorer among kickers is sitting at 17th this season. Some of that is due to Houston's improvement in the red zone, but Fairbairn has missed seven kicks (four extra points, three field goals) through the first six weeks.

Boswell hit his only field-goal (20) and all three PATs in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Chargers.

With Devlin Hodges making his first NFL start and the offense already without Jaylen Samuels (concussion) and James Washington (shoulder), Pittsburgh still managed to jump out to a 24-0 lead, with Boswell converting all his kicks. After losing James Conner (quadricep) the offense sputtered, and Boswell didn't get another opportunity to score in the final 23 minutes. With a Week 7 bye, the offense has time to heal heading into a Week 8 matchup with the 0-5 Dolphins.

Bryant made both of his field-goal attempts, and three of four point-after tries during Atlanta's 34-33 loss to the Cardinals.

He has made so many clutch kicks in his Falcons career, but Bryant's missed PAT in the waning moments Sunday may just be the straw that broke the camel's back for this 2019 Atlanta squad -- now having dropped to 1-5 with games upcoming against the Rams, Seahawks and Saints over the next four weeks. Coming into the game, Bryant had converted on 43 of 45 extra-point attempts since the start of last season, but in a high-pressure situation with an unfamiliar holder in Matt Schaub, the 44-year-old kicker was unable to convert. In Week 7, he and the Falcons will face a Rams team that has conceded multiple field-goal tries in every outing thus far this season, with an average of 2.5 attempts against per game.

Lutz made both of his field goal attempts and his lone extra-point attempt in the Saints' 13-6 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

His field goal makes came from 21 and 47 yards out, and he provided crucial offense in a close, low-scoring game. Lutz remains one of the better kicker options in fantasy thanks to a productive Saints offense that gives him plenty of opportunities.

Badgley (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Badgley's season debut will be put on hold, as Chase McLaughlin will continue manning the place-kicking duties.

Badgley (groin) is doubtful for Sunday's tilt against the Steelers, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.

Badgley is trending towards missing another contest due to his lingering groin issue. He hasn't yet made his 2019 debut. Chase McLaughlin will handle kicking duties once again versus Pittsburgh, assuming Badgley isn't able to suit up.

Carlson made his only field-goal attempt as well as all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Bears.

Carlson converted from 41 yards on his lone field goal, continuing his strong start to this season. As he and the Raiders now embark on their bye week, Carlson can take confidence from making 17 of his 18 total kicks thus far, giving him 25 points through five games.

Badgley (groin) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Badgley has yet to make his debut this season as he's dealing with the groin injury, and it looks as though his absence could be extended. If Badgley is forced to miss Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, it will again be Chase McLaughlin assuming kicking duties.

Elliott made his lone field-goal attempt as well as four extra point attempts in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Jets.

Elliott made a chip-shot 28-yarder in the second quarter to end a one-game field-goal drought. He has seen precious few attempts this year, but with the Eagles' offense scoring more over the last two weeks, better times are likely on the horizon for the 24-year-old.
