McManus made a 30-yard field goal and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 34-16 loss to the Jets.

McManus did all that was required of him on a day when Denver's offense struggled to put him in scoring position. Through five games, McManus has registered 24 points, converting all 18 of his kicking opportunities.

Koehn signed with the Giants' practice squad on Tuesday.

Koehn had spent the offseason with the Giants, but the team ultimately went with incumbent starter Aldrick Rosas, who has been off to a great start this season. However, with the kicker dealing with a quadriceps injury on a short week, Koehn would likely be promoted to the active roster for Thursday's game against the Eagles should Rosas be inactive.

Butker converted each of his three field-goal attempts and also made all three extra-point attempts Sunday against the Jaguars.

The Chiefs' offense was barely slowed Sunday, but a few stalled-out drives resulted in three field-goal attempts, nearly matching the four Butker had coming into Week 5. He has already attempted 22 extra points this season, nearly matching the 28 he logged over 13 games as a rookie last year. Given the explosiveness of the Chiefs' offense, more of the same should be on the way for Butker.

Joseph made two of three field-goal attempts, including a game-winning 37-yarder in overtime, in Sunday's 12-9 victory over the Ravens. He also missed his lone PAT attempt.

Though Joseph missed a field goal and an extra point, he converted when it counted most, though it was anything but pretty. The rookie kicker is now six of seven on field goals for the season.

Sanders made his only field-goal attempt and both of his PATs during Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Bengals.

Though Sanders is perfect on field goals for the season, the rookie kicker has just three attempts, making him undesirable in fantasy leagues. Unless his opportunities dramatically increase, explore other kicking options.

Gano made all four of his field-goal attempts, including a 63-yarder as time expired, and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 33-31 win over the Giants.

Gano's game-winning kick came from just one yard shy of the NFL record, making for a highly dramatic finish in Carolina while keeping him perfect on the season. Besides his 63-yard bomb, Gano converted from 47 yards twice and 39 yards on his other field goal. Overall, his 15 points tied for the second most he's produced in any of his 80 career games.

Elliott made two field-goal attempts and added one extra point in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Vikings.

For the first three quarters of the game, Elliott was the only Eagle to score. He was successful from 30 and 28 yards out to stay perfect on the season on tries from within 40 yards. The 23-year-old will look to make that elusive first long kick of the year Week 6 in New York against the Giants.

Tucker converted three of four field-goal attempts during Sunday's 12-9 loss to the Browns.

Even though Baltimore struggled to get anything going offensively, Tucker still tried four field goals for the second time in as many weeks -- which marks the first two times the kicker has attempted that many since Week 16 of the 2016 campaign. His lone miss wasn't his fault, as it was blocked by Browns cornerback Denzel Ward. With the Ravens in top 11 in the league in both offensive yards per game and points per contest, look for the two-time first-team All-Pro kicker to continue to be one of the busiest kickers in the league.

Santos hit two field goals and converted his three extra-point attempts during Sunday's 33-31 win over Seattle.

While Santos' fantasy value and tenure kicking for the Rams may be fleeting, he's definitely worth a look in most settings while Greg Zuerlein (groin) is on the shelf. After Sunday's solid showing, Santos has connected on 92 of 109 field goals (84.4 percent) dating back to his rookie season in 2014.

Zuerlein (groin) may return for a Week 6 game in Denver, Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The Rams had originally been hoping to get their kicker back for Week 5, but he ended up missing a fourth consecutive game. Given his strong track record along with the impressive state of the Rams offense, Zuerlein will be an elite option at his position whenever he's able to play again.
