Maher connected on both his extra-point attempts and all four of his field-goal tries, including a 38-yarder on the final play of the game, in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Lions.

The rookie has now converted eight straight field goals since missing the first attempt of his NFL career. The Cowboys' offense looked better in Week 4 but still had difficulty finishing drives, and Maher could prove to be one of the better fantasy options available for the rest of the season, as he's likely to get multiple FG attempts each week.

Myers connected on field goals of 27 and 38 yards in Sunday's 31-12 loss to the Jaguars.

Myers didn't miss a kick, though he didn't get to attempt a PAT with New York opting to go for two after its lone touchdown. Expect the fourth-year kicker -- who's made all seven of his field-goal tries this season -- to be busier against a less stout Broncos defense in Week 5.

Boswell converted on both field-goal tries (34, 39) during Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Ravens.

This season has gotten off to a rough start for Boswell, and this was his first game without a missed kick. He has not scored more than six points in any game and next faces the Falcons, against which opposing kickers have averaged 7.5 points in four games.

Bryant converted on 3-of-3 field-goal tries with three successful extra-point attempts, but Atlanta lost 37-36 to Cincinnati on Sunday.

Money Matt connected on attempts from 28, 32 and 55 yards out, keeping him perfect on field goals in 2018 (6-for-6), with one point-after try that clanked off the upright and was no good in Week 1. Bryant may have been more valuable prior to the Week 4 explosion had Atlanta's red-zone offense not been so effective, but he is a potential top-five option at kicker moving forward given the ease with which the team has been pushing the ball downfield over the past three weeks.

Fairbairn converted 3-of-4 field-goal attempts and all four extra-point kicks for 13 points in a 37-34 Week 4 overtime against Indianapolis.

On a day when the Colts' Adam Vinatieri set a new NFL career record by making his 566th field goal, the Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn was the bigger headliner. He booted two field goals in overtime to clinch Houston's first win of the season. This was the second straight week with double-digit points for Fairbairn, who has 11 field-goal attempts through four games, tied for most in the NFL.

Lutz made three field goals -- from 49, 45 and 21 yards -- and four extra points in Sunday's win against the Falcons.

Lutz was busy in the victory in Atlanta, and his clutch extra point with just over a minute in regulation helped send the game to overtime. Although Lutz probably has only league-average accuracy, he has a big leg and is backed by the Saints' explosive offense, which makes him a solid fantasy option most weeks.

Lutz made all three of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries en route to 13 points in Sunday's 43-37 win over the Falcons.

Lutz' point tally tied for the second highest in any game across his three-year career. All three of his field goals came during the second quarter, when he converted from 49, 21 and 45 yards. He'll hope New Orleans' prolific offense can give him more chances to shine in Week 4 versus the Giants.

McManus did not attempt a field goal but did convert both his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Ravens.

McManus wasn't afforded many opportunities by the Broncos offense, which struggled. With the high-flying Chiefs coming to town in Week 4, however, he could benefit from a high scoring game.

Butker converted a 37-yard field goal on his lone attempt and made all five of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 38-27 win over the 49ers.

Butker has racked up more extra points (16) than any kicker so far, benefitting from a Chiefs offense that's been unstoppable through three weeks. Should it become less efficient, however, Butker could rack up more points through field-goal attempts, as he's been limited to two such opportunities this season. On the whole, though, his team's success has translated into a fine start.

Boswell converted one of his two field goals and three of four extra-point attempts in Monday's 30-27 win over the Buccaneers.

Through three games, Boswell has made just one of four field goals and has missed two extra-point attempts. Minnesota and Cleveland already replaced their kickers after shaky starts, so we'll have to watch if Pittsburgh brings anyone in this week. Even if Boswell keeps his job, he'll next face the Ravens, who have held opposing kickers to just five points per game this season.
