Mike Badgley K | BUF
Chargers' Michael Badgley: Limited in practice Wednesday
Badgley (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Badgley continues to deal with the groin injury that kept him out of the first two games of the season. The 24-year-old was solid for the Chargers last year, converting 15 of 16 field goals and missing just one of 28 extra points. Time is of the essence for Badgley's return, as his replacement, Ty Long, missed two field goals in this past Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Lions.

Harrison Butker K | KC
Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Limited to extra points
Butker went 4-for-4 on extra points in Week 2 against the Raiders.
While Sunday's game wasn't exactly the shootout many were expecting, Butker's output took a hit more than many others. Still, he's perfect on kicks through two weeks and kicks on a team with one of the more explosive offenses in the NFL, which bodes well for his fantasy outlook moving forward.

Jake Elliott K | PHI
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Perfect in loss
Elliott made both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Falcons and did not attempt any extra points.
Elliott gave the Eagles their only points of the first half with field goals of 34 and 41 yards in the second quarter. He'd sit the rest of the affair out though, aside from kickoffs, as Philadelphia twice needed to go for two as the game wound down. The 24-year-old has a good chance to see more scoring opportunities with Detroit on tap at home Week 3.

Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Tallies four points in loss
Carlson converted his lone field-goal attempt from 28 yards and added an extra point in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Chiefs.
The Raiders' offense was unable to produce any scoring drives throughout the entirety of the second half, limiting Carlson's opportunities as a result. Things won't get any easier in Week 3 as Carlson makes his return to Minnesota, though the indoor environment is a positive for the second-year kicker.

Brandon McManus K | GB
Broncos' Brandon McManus: Connects on two attempts
McManus hit field goals of 43 and 32 yards during Sunday's 16-14 loss to Chicago.
McManus almost nixed Denver's comeback attempt with a missed PAT that was called back for offsides. McManus remains fairly automatic inside 50 yards, and -- though probably not ideal for Broncos fans -- continues to benefit from being on a team that consistently puts together drives, yet struggles once entering opponent territory.

Justin Tucker K | BAL
Ravens' Justin Tucker: Perfect again Sunday
Tucker went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts Sunday and converted both of his extra-point attempts against the Cardinals.
Tucker was automatic again Sunday, making field goals of 33, 28 and 51 yards. He has converted all 10 of his extra points and all four of his field goals through two weeks and will likely be busy again in Week 3 when Baltimore faces Kansas City in what's setting up to be a high-scoring contest.

Greg Zuerlein K | NYJ
Rams' Greg Zuerlein: Perfect in win over Saints
Zuerlein converted on both field goals and all three extra points in Sunday's win over the Saints.
Zuerlein wasn't truly tested in this outing, as his field goals came from 24 and 22 yards -- shorter than the extra points. He has now made five of six field goals and all six extra points, and he'll look to continue that success against the Browns in Week 3.

Zane Gonzalez K | MIA
Cardinals' Zane Gonzalez: Nails trio of short kicks
Gonzalez converted all three field-goal attempts but didn't try an extra point in Sunday's loss to the Ravens.
Two of Gonzalez's field goals came from 21 yards and another came from 22. Although the Cardinals did score a touchdown, game flow called for a two-point conversion so Gonzalez was left on the sideline. Gonzalez has now made all seven field goals this year and his only extra point.

Jason Sanders K | MIA
Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Rides bench Week 2
Sanders did not attempt a field goal or extra-point try during Sunday's 43-0 loss to the Patriots.
Sanders fell victim to a second straight blowout, with New England running up the score so high Sunday that the Dolphins could not consider attempting a field goal. Nor was the team able to reach the end zone, resulting in Sanders being kept off the scoreboard entirely. The second-year pro won't warrant fantasy consideration until Miami's offense achieves some sort of consistency.
