McManus made all three of his field-goal attempts as well as his lone extra-point try in Saturday night's 17-16 loss to the Browns.

McManus converted from 44, 42 and 29 yards on his respective field goals, helping him hit double figures in points for the first time since Week 4.

Lutz made both his field-goal tries but did not attempt an extra point in Monday night's 12-9 win over the Panthers.

Lutz converted from 46 and 24 yards on his respective attempts, but had his opportunities limited again by a New Orleans offense that struggled in comparison to its standard. The kicker has now gone four straight games without double-digit points, a noticeable decline from his five through the Saints' first 10 outings.

Tucker connected on both field-goal attempts and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers.

Tucker converted field-goal attempts from 24-yards and 35-yards out. He improves to 28-for-30 on field-goal attempts this season -- fifth best percentage in the league of those over at least 20 attempts.

Hopkins made three field goals and an extra point during Sunday's 16-13 win over the Jaguars.

After putting up a goose egg in Week 14, Hopkins nailed three field goals for the fourth time this season. It still remains hard to rely on Hopkins for the rest of year, however, as the absence of Alex Smith under center has stalled Washington's offense.

Joseph converted a 40-yard field goal and both of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 17-16 win over the Broncos.

Joseph hasn't missed a field goal since Oct. 28 against the Steelers, though he's only attempted four since then. While his opportunities have been scarce, he's proved to be a capable kicker in the NFL.

Elliott made three of four field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries in Sunday night's 30-23 win over the Rams.

Elliott's night started promisingly enough as he nailed a 51-yard attempt to open the game's scoring in the first quarter. The 23-year-old made two shorter attempts in each of the next two quarters but missed from 53 yards out with a chance to ice the game late in the final period. The Memphis product has now missed field-goal tries in back-to-back games and will try to right the ship at home Week 16 against Houston.

Gonzalez converted both of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Falcons.

Gonzalez didn't attempt a field goal Sunday, as the Cardinals struggled to move the ball with much efficiency. The second-year kicker has made 75 percent of his kicks since joining Arizona's active roster.

Carlson converted all three of his field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point try during Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Bengals.

Carlson is now a perfect two for two from 50-plus yards since becoming a Raider, but also has been perfect in five straight games since the team's bye week. The rookie appears to have put his early-season struggles in the rear-view mirror as a Monday night showdown against the Broncos approaches in Week 16.

Zuerlein hit all three of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point kicks during Sunday's 30-23 loss to Philadelphia.

After a season-worst showing against Chicago last week, it was encouraging to see Zuerlein bounce back against the Eagles. He's now connected on 20 of 22 field-goal attempts and hit 23 extra points since returning from a groin injury in Week 7. Look for the veteran to finish the 2018 regular season strong with favorable matchups against Arizona and San Francisco on deck.

Prater missed his only field-goal attempt but made his only PAT during Sunday's 14-13 loss to Buffalo.

Prater made a critical miscue on a missed 48-yard field goal attempt that would've given the Lions the lead in the final frame -- which marked the veteran's first missed field goal in the fourth quarter over the past three seasons. Given the Lions' massive offensive struggles in the absence of Marvin Jones (knee), Kerryon Johnson (knee) and Golden Tate (traded), it isn't wise to bet on Prater getting many opportunities to rebound during Detroit's tough Week 16 matchup against the Vikings.
