McLaughlin made two of his three field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point attempt in the 20-13 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

McLaughlin, who is filling in for Michael Badgley (groin) after the starting kicker suffered a setback in his rehab, had his first professional field-goal attempt blocked in what proved to a laughably inept first half from the Chargers. McLaughlin did save his fantasy day by connecting on his next two attempts, both of which occurred in the fourth quarter, but the Chargers' offensive woes to date have made rostering the team's kicker in fantasy a difficult proposition most weeks.

McManus converted field goals of 40 and 46 yards and two point-after attempts during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Chargers. He missed a 54-yard attempt during the contest.

McManus has now converted 30 consecutive field-goal tries from inside 50 yards, a streak that dates back to Week 15 of the 2017 season. That sort of consistency, paired with his just recently snapped streak of 90 consecutive point-after attempts, provides the kind of reliability kickers seldom offer. McManus is not, however, your guy for the big-point kicks. Despite a powerful leg, he has now missed seven consecutive tries from 50 yards and out, last converting such a kick in Week 1 of last season.

Tucker converted all four of his field-goal attempts Sunday against the Steelers as well as both of his extra-point attempts.

Tucker was the hero for the Ravens on Sunday, booting a 46-yarder in the open end of Heinz Field to deliver a victory in overtime. According to Jamison Hensley of ESPN, Tucker is now 24-for-25 on field goals at Heinz Field, a mark of 96 percent while other opposing kickers are making 79 percent of their attempts since the stadium opened in 2001. Tucker is 10-for-10 on field goals on the year and will return home to face the Bengals in Week 6.

The Titans released Santos on Monday.

Santos missed all four of his field-goal tries during Sunday's loss to the Bills, and the disastrous day ultimately cost the veteran his roster spot. With Ryan Succop (knee) not eligible to return until Week 8, expect the Titans to sign an interim kicker in the near future.

Butker nailed his two field-goal attempts and one extra-point attempt Sunday against the Colts.

Butker and the Chiefs had a relatively slow offensive day thanks to injuries popping up across the board. It marked the first time this season the third-year kicker didn't attempt four extra points. As the Chiefs get healthier in the coming weeks, there should be more opportunities for Butker in the kicking game again.

Maher converted one of three field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries during Sunday's loss to the Packers.

Maher's two misses came from 54 and 33 yards, respectively. Across five contests, Maher has converted just four of seven field-goal tries, but he's been perfect across 17 extra-point attempts. He's likely primed for a favorable game script against the Jets in Week 6.

Hopkins converted his sole extra-point try during Sunday's loss to the Patriots.

Hopkins didn't attempt a single field goal during Sunday's blowout loss. The veteran kicker's accuracy has been reliable through five contests, but he'll remain off the fantasy radar until such time as Washington's offense is able to give him opportunities on a more reliable basis.

Lutz made a 29-yard field goal and all four extra-point attempts in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Buccaneers.

Following a monster four field-goal performance in Week 4, Lutz was only called upon for chip shots against the divisional foe. He was perfect, though, and he's now connected on 11 of 12 field-goal attempts and 10 of 11 extra points this year.

Santos missed all four of his field-goal attempts in Week 5 against Buffalo. He did convert his lone extra-point attempt.

Santos had a disastrous day and cost the Titans a chance at victory. Two of his kicks came from 50 and 53 yards, making them a bit more excusable. On the other hand, he also missed a 36-yard attempt and had another 33-yard effort blocked. Overall, it was a disastrous day for Santos, who may now be on the hot seat while filling in for the injured Ryan Succop (knee).

Gonzalez made four of five field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries during Sunday's win over the Bengals.

Gonzalez missed one field goal during Sunday's win, but he more than made up for any mistakes by securing the Cardinals' first win of the season. Due to the struggles of Arizona's offense in the red zone, Gonzalez is benefiting from substantial weekly opportunity.
