Badgley made his only field-goal attempt and six extra-point attempts in the 45-10 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Badgley put his struggles from last week behind him, connecting on all seven of his kicking attempts over the course of the afternoon. Badgley has missed just one kick in his brief tenure as the starter, but so long as the Chargers continue their excellence in the red zone, the rookie's kicking opportunities remain limited.

Koehn signed with the Giants' practice squad on Friday.

Koehn's spot on the practice squad comes following the release of tight end Garrett Dickerson. The 26-year-old was previously released from New York's practice squad Oct. 12, but he's rejoined the group as an emergency option at the kicker position behind starter Aldrick Rosas.

Prater converted his lone field-goal attempt and his only PAT during Thursday's 23-16 loss to the Bears.

Going up against the Bears' third-ranked scoring defense (19.2 points allowed per game), the Lions predictably had trouble moving the ball most of the game. However, the veteran could be in for a bounce-back effort in Week 13 when the Lions host the Rams' 23rd-ranked scoring defense (25.6). Through 11 games, Prater has successfully converted 20 of 23 field-goal tries and all 22 of his PATs.

Bryant went 2-for-2 on extra-points tries, while putting his lone field-goal attempt through the uprights from 32 yards out during Thursday's 31-17 loss to New Orleans.

Bryant has been just as flawless post-injury as he was prior to a three-game spell on the inactive list, knocking down all eight of his combined extra-point- and field-goal tries over Atlanta's past two games (was 9-for-9 on FGA and 16-for-17 on PATs prior to tweaking hamstring in Week 6). Atlanta's upcoming game against Baltimore isn't the most encouraging kicker matchup, with the Ravens surrendering 15 field-goal attempts all season (fifth-fewest in NFL).

The Cardinals signed Gonzalez to their practice squad Tuesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Gonzalez was added to Arizona's practice squad in order to provide depth for Phil Dawson (hip), who missed Sunday's contest against the Raiders. The second-year kicker was cut by the Browns in September after repeated struggles.

Butker made his only field-goal attempt from 21 yards and made six of his seven extra-point attempts Monday against the Rams.

Butker was busy all night in a game that featured one of the highest scores in NFL history. The Georgia Tech product will likely be a top fantasy option playing for one of the best offenses in the league after the Chiefs return from bye in Week 13.

McManus hit both of his extra-point attempts and a 34-yard field goal during Sunday's 23-22 win over the Chargers.

After missing attempts of more than 50 yards right before halftime and to end the game against Houston in Week 9, McManus buried a 34-yarder to give the Broncos the last-second win. The Temple product is a perfect 24-for-24 on extra-point attempts, and 12-for-12 on field goals of less than 50 yards this season.

Zuerlein hit both his field-goal attempts and six of seven extra-point kicks during Monday's 54-51 win over Kansas City.

The veteran kicker is putting up fantasy points like clockwork, as he's now connected on 12 of 13 field-goal attempts and 17 of 18 extra-point kicks through five games since returning from a groin injury in Week 7. Zuerlein is positioned to finish the season strong and should be considered a high-end option following Los Angeles' Week 12 bye.

Badgley made one of his two extra-point attempts and knocked in all three of his field-goal attempts Sunday during the 23-22 loss to the Broncos.

Badgley's lone extra point miss was critical given the scoreline, but it's worth pointing out that's Badgley's first miss of any kind this season. The rookie kicker replaced Caleb Sturgis as the starter in Week 10 and remains a solid fantasy option given his place in an excellent Chargers offensive attack.

Gano missed his only field-goal attempt as well as one of his two extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Lions.

Gano's mistakes proved costly for the Panthers in a one-point defeat. He hit the left upright on a 34-yard attempt during the third quarter, then failed on his extra-point try to begin the fourth. The veteran has now missed three PATs this season, and although his missed field goal marked his first of the campaign, he'll still be eager to put his best foot forward in Week 12 versus the Seahawks. That being said, with just 10 points over the last three games, Gano's stock is down at the moment.
