Zuerlein connected on one of two field-goal attempts and all four extra-point kicks during Sunday's 31-9 win over Arizona. His missed field goal was from 57 yards.

The veteran hasn't been as efficient this season with an 86.2 field-goal percentage, but he's had enough kicking opportunities to mitigate the decline. After all, Zuerlein has hit 21 field goals and 26 extra-point kicks through the past nine games. He continues to be one of the more reliable fantasy kickers.

Carlson connected on field-goal attempts of 43 and 45 yards and also drilled three extra points in the Raiders' 27-14 win over the Broncos on Monday.

The rookie connected on multiple field-goal attempts from beyond 40 yards for the first time in his career Monday, and he extended his streak without a field-goal miss to seven games overall. Carlson also has compiled nine or 10 points in three of his past four games, and he has an 11-point tally on his 2018 ledger as well. The Auburn product has been a definite bright spot for the Raiders in a forgettable transition year, and he'll look to head into the offseason with momentum when Oakland tangles the Chiefs in Week 17.

McManus missed a 58-yard field goal attempt as time expired in the first half and drilled two extra-point tries in the Broncos' 27-14 loss to the Raiders on Monday.

McManus was brought on for the Hail Mary field-goal attempt after Case Keenum connected with Courtland Sutton for 20 yards down to the Raiders 40-yard line with four seconds remaining in the first half. However, the kick came up short, and McManus wouldn't get another field-goal opportunity the rest of the night. Despite the miss, McManus' 82.6 percent success rate this season (19-for-23) on field goals represents a nice improvement from the 75.0 percent figure he generated in 2017, and his only misses have all come from beyond 50 yards. He'll look to finish the campaign on a strong note versus the Chargers in Week 17.

Elliott made both of his field-goal attempts and two of three extra-point tries in Sunday's 32-30 win over the Texans.

Elliott again put his team in a precarious position by missing the extra-point try after the Eagles' first fourth-quarter touchdown that left them with just a 13-point advantage. He more than made up for it, however, as he punched a 35-yarder in to win it as time expired. The Memphis product also made a 47-yard attempt in the contest and has not missed from inside 50 yards since Week 7. Elliott will try to keep that streak intact with the Eagles' playoff hopes on the line Week 17 at Washington.

Santos made field-goal attempts of 37 and 45 yards while misfiring on a 52-yard try in the Buccaneers 27-20 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday. He also drilled both of his extra-point attempts.

The 27-year-old's one miss was relatively excusable considering the distance, and Santos had a solid eight-point afternoon overall by making his other four kicks. The five-year veteran is 7-for-10 on field goals and has drilled all 15 of his extra points since joining the Bucs in Week 11. He'll be a serviceable fantasy option once again in the Week 17 finale against the Falcons and likely has done enough to be considered as a leading candidate for the placekicking role in 2019.

Bryant converted on his lone field-goal attempt of 39 yards and went 3-for-3 on extra points during Sunday's 24-10 win against the Panthers.

Bryant continues to build upon his ever-reliable form, knocking nine of his 10 field-goal tries through the uprights since returning from a hamstring injury Week 11 and converting on 18 of 19 field-goal attempts overall this season. If there is a black mark on Bryant's 2018 resume, it comes as a result of shaky results on point-after tries. The veteran kicker has missed multiple PATs for the first time in his past 17 seasons as a pro. In Week 17, Bryant's fantasy upside remains limited facing a Buccaneers team that's allowed 25 field-goal attempts all year, largely in part to a putrid red-zone defense that is allowing touchdowns on 77.8 percent of opponents' red-zone drives.

Tucker made three of his five field-goal attempts and an extra point in Saturday's win over the Chargers.

Tucker's line was deflated by a series of long kicks against Los Angeles. He missed a makable 53-yard attempt and a 65-yard prayer as time expired in the first half. He did manage to connect from 56 yards and on his shorter attempts. He's hitting on 89 percent of his field goals this season (31-for-35) and continues to be one of the best fantasy options in the league at his position.

Hopkins made all three of his field-goal attempts and an extra point in Sunday's loss to the Titans.

Hopkins scored 10 points for the second week in a row, hitting on three field goals in a game for the fifth time this season. He's drilling an impressive 90 percent of his field goals this season (26-for-29). He'll look to maintain the quality play in Washington's season finale against the Eagles in Week 17.

Gonzalez made one of his two field-goal attempts and missed his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's loss to the Rams.

Gonzalez tallied just three of a possible seven points Sunday, though his missed field goal was from over 50 yards. Since joining the Cardinals in Week 13, Gonzalez has made four of five extra-point attempts and four of six field-goal tries.

Fairbairn made his lone field-goal attempt and three of four extra-point kicks in Sunday's 32-30 loss to the Eagles.

Fairbairn had been successful on 24 consecutive kicks before a second-quarter extra-point attempt sailed wide right. Despite the miss, he managed a credible six points and maintained his NFL scoring lead with 142 points after 15 games.
