Lutz converted both field-goal attempts and all six of his extra-point tries during Sunday's win over the Eagles.

Lutz benefits from an incredible floor in New Orleans' high-octane offense, and has not missed a kick since Week 5 of the regular season. The 28-year-old remains one of the top fantasy options at the kicker position heading into Thursday's tilt against the Falcons.

Carlson converted all three of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries during Sunday's 23-21 win over the Cardinals.

Carlson logged his second consecutive perfect game and played a key role in securing Oakland's Week 11 victory. The rookie fifth-round pick will look to record another solid outing against the Ravens on Sunday.

Tucker converted all three of his field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try during Sunday's win over the Bengals.

Tucker logged his third consecutive perfect game, including a long field-goal try of 56-yards. The talented kicker accounted for 10 of Baltimore's total points during Sunday's 24-21 win against Cincinnati. He'll look to log another strong outing against the Raiders in Week 12.

Maher missed one of two extra points but connected on all three of his field-goal attempts, including a 42-yarder as time expired, in Sunday's 22-19 win over the Falcons.

While he's hardly been automatic -- Maher's missed one kick, either field goal or extra point, in four straight games -- he's still maintained a solid fantasy floor most weeks, booting multiple field goals in seven of his last nine contests. With the low-powered Dallas offense often sputtering in the red zone, Maher should continue to see plenty of opportunities down the stretch.

Fairbairn converted three of his five field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point kicks for 11 points in Sunday's 23-21 victory over Washington.

Fairbairn experienced the highs and lows of placekicking in the Week 11 win. His 54-yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter turned out to be the game-deciding score, but he misfired on a 45-yarder later in the game which would have made life easier for the Texans. He also missed a 44-yarder earlier in the contest. Still, he's been a productive kicker in 2018, leading the NFL with 27 FGA while successfully converting 81.5 percent of his kicks.

Elliott attempted no field goals and made his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 48-7 loss to New Orleans.

The Eagles got absolutely trounced in this one, and the offense never managed to get much going. It marks the second time this season that Elliott has been held without a field-goal but the first time he wasn't even called on for an attempt. The Memphis product has just one multi-field-goal game over his last four but will look to rebound as he goes from the worst matchup for kickers in the Saints to the best one in the Giants at home Week 12.

Bryant succeeded on his only extra-point attempt and put all four of his field-goal tries through the uprights during a 22-19 loss to Dallas on Sunday.

Fresh off a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury, the 17-year veteran appeared clutch as usual, connecting on tries from 21, 41, 45 and 53 yards out against the Cowboys. Bryant has potential to be a popular waiver-wire addition heading into a Thanksgiving night game against New Orleans, for what figures to be a high-scoring affair. The Saints haven't proven to be an especially fruitful matchup for kickers this season, however, allowing the sixth-fewest field-goal attempts, largely in part to a red zone defense giving up touchdowns on 72.4 percent of drives.

Boswell made both his extra point tries during their 20-16 win against Jacksonville.

Jacksonville did a good job against the potent Pittsburgh offense, resulting in Boswell's worst outing this season and his lowest point total since Week 6 of the 2016 season. The offense should fare better against Denver in Week 12.

Santos did not attempt any field goals and was perfect on all five extra-point attempts in the Buccaneers' 38-35 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

Santos maximized his opportunities, drilling every extra-point try he was afforded. The veteran kicker has the talent to stabilize the team's placekicking position, considering he brought a respectable 84.1 percent career success rate into Tampa. He'll look to log his first field-goal opportunities in a Week 12 matchup versus the 49ers.

Hopkins made each of his three PATs and missed a 63-yard field-goal attempt in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Texans.

Bothered by a groin injury during the week, Hopkins was cleared to play but didn't get any realistic chances besides the trio of extra points. His lone field-goal attempt fell short in the closing seconds of the game, with the Redskins dropping to 6-4 after losing their starting quarterback to a severe leg injury. Hopkins is attached to the most injury-riddled offense in the league, with Smith now the fourth starter to be lost for the season. A Week 12 matchup with the slow-paced Cowboys on Thanksgiving isn't likely to help.
