Maher made both his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Week 13's 13-10 win over the Saints.

Maher converted from 26 and 46 yards on his two field goals. The 29-year-old rookie has scored at least seven points in four straight games, bringing his season tally to 95.

Lutz made his lone field-goal and extra-point try in Week 13's 13-10 loss to the Cowboys.

Lutz still hasn't missed since Week 5, but he didn't get as many opportunities as usual as New Orleans' offense was surprisingly stymied. In fact, his four points marked a season low. Fortunately, his upcoming matchup against the Buccaneers figures to be a higher-scoring affair.

Elliott connected on both of his field-goal and extra-point attempts in Monday's 28-13 win against the Redskins.

Elliott has now converted each of his last six kicks of 40 yards or longer, including a 46-yarder in the fourth quarter of Monday's game. After struggling with consistency early in the season, the Memphis product hasn't missed in his last five games. Elliott will get to kick indoors in Week 14 on the road against the Cowboys.

Hopkins made both of his field-goal attempts and converted his only extra-point try in Monday's loss to the Eagles.

Hopkins performed better than expected in a game that saw backup quarterback Colt McCoy leave with a lower leg injury. McCoy was replaced by third-string QB Mark Sanchez, and the offense seemed to stall. Washington is already without quarterback Alex Smith (lower leg) for the season, so Hopkins will be difficult to trust for the remainder of the season.

Zuerlein connected on three field goals and hit all three of his extra-point kicks during Sunday's 30-16 win over Detroit.

The veteran has now hit 15 of 16 field-goal attempts and 20 of 21 extra-point kicks over his past six games. Not only is it an impressive stretch, but it affirms his status as an elite kicker in the fantasy ranks. Zuerlein projects to remain a top option with Los Angeles continuing to score in bunches and also in pursuit of the top seed in the NFC.

Butker knocked home both of his field-goal attempts and four of his five extra-point tries during Sunday's game against the Raiders.

While a kicker getting the volume of Butker on the weekly basis is bound to miss on occasion, the fact that he's now missed a PAT in consecutive weeks for the second time this season and four overall is slightly concerning. Still, he's seemingly in no danger of losing his duties and should be owned in nearly all formats kicking for the NFL's most prolific offense.

Badgley hit one of his two field goal attempts and both of his extra points in Sunday's 33-30 win over the Steelers.

Badgley missed from 52 yards in the game's first quarter, but after a crazy sequence in which the Steelers committed three straight offsides penalties resulting in two untimed downs, the rookie kicker was able to convert the game winner from 29 yards out. The Chargers have a favorable home matchup against the Bengals in Week 14, so Badgley could find himself busy in a game where the offense should be able to move the ball down the field.

Sanders did not attempt a field goal and converted all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Bills.

Sanders has not missed a kick in five straight games, but does not see the workload necessary to achieve fantasy success in the Dolphins' low-scoring offense. The rookie is a lower-tier fantasy option heading into Sunday's divisional tilt against the Patriots.

Gano (knee) converted his lone field-goal attempt and both his extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Buccaneers.

Gano's field goal came from 37 yards, but he admitted after the game that he's dealing with pain in his left knee. Although he hopes to continue playing, Gano's performance level this season has taken a slight dip, and it's worth wondering whether his plant leg issues have contributed toward that. Through 12 outings, he boasts just 72 points.

Gonzalez converted both field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Packers.

Gonzalez showed well in his first start for the Cardinals, converting two field-goal tries of over 40 yards during the Week 13 win over the Packers. The second-year pro out of Arizona State faces a good opportunity to turn his NFL career around if he's able to continue performing well down the stretch, but remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes.
