Sanders did not attempt a field goal and converted all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 34-33 win over the Patriots.

Sanders has now gone two straight games without attempting a field goal. Despite the Dolphins scoring a season-high 34 points, Sanders did not see a large enough workload to achieve fantasy relevance. The rookie does not warrant fantasy consideration outside of deeper leagues, irrespective of his solid accuracy.

Gonzalez made one of two field-goal attempts in Sunday's loss to the Lions.

Gonzalez converted a 22-yard attempt in the fourth quarter after hitting the left upright on a 54-yard try earlier in the contest. It is Gonzalez's first miss as a Cardinal, and he is now 5-for-9 on field-goal attempts this season in stints with the Browns and Cardinals.

Hopkins finished Sunday's game against the Giants without any kicking attempts.

It was a rough day for Hopkins' owners, as he went without a stat line for the first time all season. The 27-year-old is in the midst of a career season highlighted by a career-best field-goal conversion rate (87 percent). Without Alex Smith, Washington's offense has endured a noticeable drop-off, which apparently has trickled down to Hopkins.

Joseph converted both of his field goals and 2-of-3 extra-point attempts in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Panthers.

For the first time in four games, Joseph attempted a field goal, as opportunities have been hard to come by. He nailed two 40-yard-plus attempts Sunday, though he did end up missing an extra point.

Lutz converted each of his two field-goal attempts and two extra-point attempts during Sunday's 28-14 win over the Buccaneers.

The Saints' high-octane offense has made Lutz a valuable commodity in many leagues. Following Sunday's performance, Lutz extended his streak of regular-season contests with a field goal to 34 games. Factoring in his efficiency and an opportunistic offense, Lutz remains a top option each week.

Tucker knocked through his only field goal attempt from 28 yards and converted each of his three extra point attempts during Sunday's 27-24 loss to Kansas City.

It was a typical day at the office for Tucker, who is now 26-for-28 on the season. Tucker's six points ended his streak of four consecutive games with at least 10 points, but that is more of a product of opportunity than anything else. The 29-year-old has used this season as a platform to unequivocally prove he still has plenty left in the tank.

Butker converted all three of his extra-point attempts Sunday against the Ravens, but he missed a pair of his four field-goal attempts in the contest.

Butker's misses didn't turn out to be too costly for the Chiefs, as they wound up taking home the victory in overtime regardless. The second-year kicker's return to perfection on extra-point attempts is encouraging, though he failed to come through in the clutch on a last-second field goal during the contest. He could have an opportunity to make up for it in what should be a tightly-contested Week 15 game Thursday against the Chargers.

Carlson converted his lone field-goal attempt from 44 yards and made all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Steelers.

Carlson has now made all seven of his field-goal attempts over the Raiders' past four contests, finding a groove after a brutal start to his rookie campaign. Oakland's offense also has displayed improvements with 57 total points the past two weeks, providing Carlson with additional opportunities to collect points of his own.

Zuerlein connected on two of three field-goal attempts during Sunday's 15-6 loss to Chicago.

The Rams never found their offensive footing against the Bears, and Zuerlein had his worst fantasy showing since returning from a groin injury in Week 7. A Week 15 date with the Eagles is up next, so look for the veteran kicker to rebound with Philadelphia showing signs of weakness against playoff-caliber teams of late.

Santos missed field-goal attempts of 46 and 40 yards while hitting both of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 28-14 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Santos had enjoyed a perfect first two games in a Buccaneers uniform heading into Sunday, but his unblemished record was sullied fairly early on against the Saints. Santos' early-second-quarter 46-yard attempt hit the right upright, while his 40-yard try to end Tampa's first drive of the second half went wide right altogether. The veteran kicker at least did maintain his perfect tally on extra points, but given the team's struggles to find consistency at the kicker position in recent seasons, his two misses are likely more cause for concern than they would be on other clubs. Santos could find opportunities for redemption at a premium Week 15, as the Bucs draw an unenviable road matchup versus the stingy Ravens defense.
