McManus missed two of his three field-goal attempts, including a potential game-winning 51-yarder as time expired, but made both his extra-point tries in Week 9's loss to the Texans.

McManus missed wide right twice, but in his defense, his first misfire came from a whopping 62 yards out. While he was able to convert from 44 yards in the first quarter, McManus will still be disappointed by failing an opportunity to give his team a victory later on.

Gano did not attempt a field goal but made all six of his extra-point tries in Week 9's win over the Buccaneers.

Gano did all that was required of him, bringing his season total to 54 points. He'll hope to get some field-goal opportunities to help boost his tally in Week 10 versus the Steelers.

Butker made his only field-goal attempt from 39 yards and made four of his five extra-point attempts Sunday against the Browns.

Butker has now missed wide on a pair of extra-point attempts after not missing a single one in his career prior to the two contests. Still, there's nothing to suggest the Chiefs' brass is losing faith in him, and Butker kicks for one of the more explosive offenses in the league.

Zuerlein connected on two of three field-goal attempts and hit all three of his extra-point kicks during Sunday' 45-35 loss to New Orleans.

Zuerlein's missed field goal was from 51 yards and his second failed attempt of the season. He still had a productive fantasy day, and with the Rams continuing to score in bunches, the veteran kicker projects to remain a solid asset in all formats.

Joseph converted a 51-yard field goal during Sunday's 37-21 loss to the Chiefs.

Joseph's only action of the game came when he was called upon to make a career-long 51-yard field goal in the first quarter. The rookie kicker has 39 points through seven games.

Sanders converted both field-goal attempts and made his sole extra-point try during Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets.

Sanders accounted for more than half Miami's total points during the Week 9 win, and logged another accurate performance. The seventh-round pick will look to continue building upon an impressive rookie campaign against the Packers on Sunday.

Prater converted all three of his field-goal attempts during Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Vikings.

The Lions offense was even less effective than it was last week against Seattle, especially in the red zone. However, Minnesota's ability to keep Detroit from reaching the painted area ultimately gave Prater a trio of field-goal opportunities, and the veteran rang true on all of his attempts for the sixth time in eight games. While Prater remains one of the most reliable veteran kickers in the game, it might be wise to find another fantasy option in Week 10 when his team travels to the Windy City for an outdoors matchup against a stout Bears defense.

Lutz made his only field-goal attempt and converted all six of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 45-35 win over the Rams.

Lutz's only field goal attempt came on a successful 54-yard try. The 24-year-old has converted 16-of-17 field-goals and 27-of-28 extra-points this season. Lutz's accuracy and presence in New Orleans' high-powered offense make him a top fantasy option at the kicker position.

Hopkins did not attempt a field-goal and converted both extra-point tries during Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Falcons.

Hopkins did not see much utilization Week 9, mostly due to the fact that Washington fell behind early against the Falcons and spent the entire contest reaching for touchdowns. Following a down week, Hopkins will look to bounce back against a league-worst Buccaneers' defense Sunday.

Tucker converted all three of his field goal attempts and converted his lone extra point attempt Sunday against the Steelers.

Tucker was perfect on the day, converting two 23-yard field goals and a 37-yarder. He is tied for seventh in the league with 16 made field goals through nine weeks and his 88.9 conversion rate ranks 12th in the league. Tucker is on a bye before returning to action Nov. 18 against the Bengals.
