Gano (left knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Bryan Strickland of the Panthers' official site reports.

Despite converting his only field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries, Gano said he dealt with some pain in the knee of his plant leg during Sunday's 24-17 loss to Tampa Bay. His full participation at Wednesday's practice suggests he's on track to play through the injury Sunday in Cleveland, but there isn't a ton of fantasy appeal in his December road matchup with a cold-weather team that has a solid defense.

Joseph did not attempt a field goal but made his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 29-13 loss to the Texans.

Joseph did all that was required of him amid a turnover-filled day from the Browns offense. He'll hope he's called upon more in Week 14 versus the skidding Panthers.

McManus made one of his two field-goal attempts and hit all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Bengals.

McManus converted from 29 yards but missed wide left on a 50-yard attempt to begin the game. Through 12 appearances, he's totaled 78 points but hasn't topped six points since Week 7.

Maher made both his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Week 13's 13-10 win over the Saints.

Maher converted from 26 and 46 yards on his two field goals. The 29-year-old rookie has scored at least seven points in four straight games, bringing his season tally to 95.

Lutz made his lone field-goal and extra-point try in Week 13's 13-10 loss to the Cowboys.

Lutz still hasn't missed since Week 5, but he didn't get as many opportunities as usual as New Orleans' offense was surprisingly stymied. In fact, his four points marked a season low. Fortunately, his upcoming matchup against the Buccaneers figures to be a higher-scoring affair.

Elliott connected on both of his field-goal and extra-point attempts in Monday's 28-13 win against the Redskins.

Elliott has now converted each of his last six kicks of 40 yards or longer, including a 46-yarder in the fourth quarter of Monday's game. After struggling with consistency early in the season, the Memphis product hasn't missed in his last five games. Elliott will get to kick indoors in Week 14 on the road against the Cowboys.

Hopkins made both of his field-goal attempts and converted his only extra-point try in Monday's loss to the Eagles.

Hopkins performed better than expected in a game that saw backup quarterback Colt McCoy leave with a lower leg injury. McCoy was replaced by third-string QB Mark Sanchez, and the offense seemed to stall. Washington is already without quarterback Alex Smith (lower leg) for the season, so Hopkins will be difficult to trust for the remainder of the season.

Zuerlein connected on three field goals and hit all three of his extra-point kicks during Sunday's 30-16 win over Detroit.

The veteran has now hit 15 of 16 field-goal attempts and 20 of 21 extra-point kicks over his past six games. Not only is it an impressive stretch, but it affirms his status as an elite kicker in the fantasy ranks. Zuerlein projects to remain a top option with Los Angeles continuing to score in bunches and also in pursuit of the top seed in the NFC.

Butker knocked home both of his field-goal attempts and four of his five extra-point tries during Sunday's game against the Raiders.

While a kicker getting the volume of Butker on the weekly basis is bound to miss on occasion, the fact that he's now missed a PAT in consecutive weeks for the second time this season and four overall is slightly concerning. Still, he's seemingly in no danger of losing his duties and should be owned in nearly all formats kicking for the NFL's most prolific offense.

Badgley hit one of his two field goal attempts and both of his extra points in Sunday's 33-30 win over the Steelers.

Badgley missed from 52 yards in the game's first quarter, but after a crazy sequence in which the Steelers committed three straight offsides penalties resulting in two untimed downs, the rookie kicker was able to convert the game winner from 29 yards out. The Chargers have a favorable home matchup against the Bengals in Week 14, so Badgley could find himself busy in a game where the offense should be able to move the ball down the field.
