McManus converted all three of his point-after attempts and a 33-yard field goal during Sunday's 26-24 loss to Jacksonville.

McManus put aside some concern that he had a case of the yips after back-to-back weeks with shanked PAT attempts (though one was erased by a defensive offsides call). If all checks out, McManus is pretty darn reliable from inside 50 yards, but fans would be justified in their concern, given McManus' place on a team that just scored over 20 points for the first time since early December 2018. Additionally, Denver draws a matchup against a tough Chargers team in Week 5.

Carlson converted his lone field-goal attempt from 26 yards and added four extra points in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Colts.

Carlson has yet to miss an extra point during his young career, while he also remains perfect on field goal attempts from 20-to-29 yards. The Raiders' offense finally got cooking during the first half of Sunday's tilt, but Carlson has attempted no more than one field goal in each of the team's first four contests to begin the season. Next up is a tough matchup in London against the Bears and their elite defensive unit.

Hopkins converted his only field-goal attempt in Sunday's 24-3 loss to the Giants.

Hopkins' 21-yard chip shot in the second quarter was the Redskins' only points of the afternoon. He's been perfect on all six extra-point attempts this year, and he's connected on four of five field-goal tries, missing once from 43 yards in Week 3. It could be another uneventful game in Week 5 versus the Patriots' strong defense.

Zuerlein connected on both field-goal attempts (58, 44 yards) and all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 55-40 loss to Tampa Bay.

The opportunities continue to pile up for Zuerlein, and he's now hit nine of 11 field-goal attempts through four games. More importantly for fantasy purposes, he's also posted a serviceable point total in each of the first four weeks. He projects to remain a high-floor, high-ceiling kicker.

Gonzalez made one of three field-goal attempts and his sole point-after try during Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Seahawks.

Coming into Week 4, Gonzalez led all kickers with 30 points on the strength of no missed kicks. After the Cardinals marched into Seahawks territory on their first possession, he was given a chance from 43 yards, which went wide right. After making a 33-yarder early in the second quarter, Gonzalez went awry again from 48 yards a short time later. While the performance deviated from his perfect start to the season, he should have plenty of opportunity to produce on a weekly basis due to Arizona's propensity to bog down in opposition territory.

Sanders made one of three field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try during Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Chargers.

Sanders' accuracy has usually been reliable through his short career, so the second-year pro's Week 4 performance was somewhat uncharacteristic. It's worth noting that each of Sanders' misses came from at least 50 yards out. On a brighter note, Sanders has now logged two consecutive games with three field-goal tries, and he appears to be seeing an increase in his weekly opportunities.

Prater converted all three field-goal attempts and all three PATs during Sunday's 34-30 loss to the Chiefs.

After missing three kicks in the past two weeks, Prater rebounded in impressive fashion and ultimately connected on attempts from 25, 48 and 53 yards out. The storied veteran is now 48-for-63 on field-goal attempts 50 yards or longer, and his career 76.2 conversion rate on kicks of that distance only trails Robbie Gould's NFL-record 76.3 percent. Prater will continue to be a considerable fantasy option in Week 6 against the Packers after the Lions return from their Week 5 bye.

Myers made both of his field-goal attempts and all three extra points in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Rams.

Myers didn't make a field goal over the first three games, and he only had one attempt. Fantasy owners that held out hope for the 2018 Pro Bowler were rewarded when he connected on field goals from 24 and 33 yards. Myers could have a high-scoring outing in Week 5 against the Rams, which allowed 55 points to the Buccaneers this past Sunday.

Fairbairn made one of two field-goal tries and his lone extra-point kick for four points in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Panthers in Week 4.

Fairbairn's miss came from 52 yards, so it was not a chip shot, but he's got the leg for that distance. He entered the season having made seven of 10 kicks from beyond 50, but it's up to the offense to put him in position to score. Houston's offense was bottled up all day, and Carolina made it difficult for quarterback Deshaun Watson, who was sacked six times and turned the ball over twice. Fairbairn has just five FGA through the first four weeks and has yet to reach double digits in points, an indication that the Texans need to fix their 22nd-ranked offense (19.5 PPG).

Gay converted field-goal attempts of 58 and 21 yards and also made all seven extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 55-40 win over the Rams on Sunday.

The rookie enjoyed an unblemished day after having missed the game-winning attempt in a Week 3 loss to the Giants. Gay's ability to bounce back from the first game-ending misfire of his career certainly had to be heartening for both the coaching staff and his fantasy managers, as his herculean leg and spot on a team with a clearly improving offense combine to make him a high-upside fantasy asset. He'll look to build on Sunday's fruitful effort on the road against the Saints in Week 5, his first dome game as a professional.
