Myers made all four extra points but missed a 58-yard field-goal attemptl in Sunday's 28-26 win over the Steelers.

This was Myers' first field-goal attempt of the season, and it was a lengthy one. Myers had the leg to get it there, but he pushed it wide left as time expired in the first half. He has still converted all seven extra points this year.

Maher connected on his lone field-goal attempt and all four of his extra points in Sunday's win over Washington.

The field goal was a 25-yard chip shot, so the second-year kicker remains relatively untested on the year, but Maher has been perfect nonetheless -- 1-for-1 on FGs and 9-for-9 on PATs. With the Dallas offense looking explosive in the early going, there should be plenty of opportunities for Maher to rack up points as the season progresses.

Lutz made all three of his field-goal attempts in the Saints' 27-9 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

For the second week in a row, Lutz hit a 50-yarder, with his makes coming from 34, 42, and 52 yards out. He was the Saints' only source of offense on a day where the team couldn't move the ball downfield, particularly after Drew Brees (hand) exited. Lutz is an elite option at kicker each week, given his accuracy and range.

Fairbairn converted both field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point kick in Sundays' 13-12 win over the Jaguars in Week 2.

Fairbairn was not called upon to attempt a field goal in Week 1, so these two attempts were his first of the season. He remains perfect after two weeks, nailing all seven of his kicks (five extra points, two field goals), although he was bailed out on an extra-point miss in Week 1 by a penalty.

Bryant went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his point-after tries during Sunday's 24-20 win against Philadelphia.

The 44-year-old placekicker sunk his first field-goal try of 2019 by knocking down a 50-yard attempt on Atlanta's first drive of the night. He pulled another 50-yarder wide left later in the contest, only to see Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz gift the ball right back to the Falcons with an interception on the subsequent play. Week 3 brings a matchup against an Indianapolis defense that's conceded just five field-goal attempts over its past five regular and postseason games.

Santos made of one of his two field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point attempts in Week 2 against Indianapolis.

While Santos made the majority of his kicks on the day, his missed field goal was very costly. With 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, he was called upon to convert a 45-yard field goal to put the Titans up seven, however, he pushed the kick wide left -- ultimately allowing Indianapolis to take the lead late in the game. Nevertheless, he's made three of his four field-goal attempts for the season and is perfect in converting seven extra points.

Pineiro made all three of his field-goal attempts in Chicago's 16-14 victory over the Broncos on Sunday.

Not only was Pineiro perfect on the day, but two of his kicks were from more than 50 yards, including a game-winner at the final whistle. After this performance, his job with the team should be quite safe, and he's a player who could see enough field-goal attempts to be a weekly starting option.

Boswell made both field-goal attempts (33, 41) and both PATs in Pittsburgh's 28-26 loss to Seattle on Sunday.

The Steelers suffered numerous injuries while falling to 0-2, and it won't get any easier in Week 3 against the 2-0 49'ers. If fantasy owners haven't already done so, now might be the time to pursue other kicking options.

Prater missed his only field-goal attempt and one of two PATs during Sunday's 13-10 victory over the Chargers.

Prater nearly cost Detroit the game with a pair of costly miscues. The first was a missed PAT on the Lions' opening score and the second was a 40-yard field-goal attempt that sailed wide right. However, Prater only missed one other PAT over the past two seasons and has finished in the top half of the league in accuracy each of the past four seasons, so there's plenty of optimism for him to have a rebound performance in Week 3 against the Eagles.

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

Badgley took a step forward in his recovery from the right groin injury by turning in three limited practices this week, but the activity wasn't enough for him to gain clearance for Week 2. With Badgley is street clothes again, Ty Long will handle both kicking and punting duties for the Chargers for the second straight contest.
