Zuerlein hit both his field-goal attempts and six of seven extra-point kicks during Monday's 54-51 win over Kansas City.

The veteran kicker is putting up fantasy points like clockwork, as he's now connected on 12 of 13 field-goal attempts and 17 of 18 extra-point kicks through five games since returning from a groin injury in Week 7. Zuerlein is positioned to finish the season strong and should be considered a high-end option following Los Angeles' Week 12 bye.

Badgley made one of his two extra-point attempts and knocked in all three of his field-goal attempts Sunday during the 23-22 loss to the Broncos.

Badgley's lone extra point miss was critical given the scoreline, but it's worth pointing out that's Badgley's first miss of any kind this season. The rookie kicker replaced Caleb Sturgis as the starter in Week 10 and remains a solid fantasy option given his place in an excellent Chargers offensive attack.

Gano missed his only field-goal attempt as well as one of his two extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Lions.

Gano's mistakes proved costly for the Panthers in a one-point defeat. He hit the left upright on a 34-yard attempt during the third quarter, then failed on his extra-point try to begin the fourth. The veteran has now missed three PATs this season, and although his missed field goal marked his first of the campaign, he'll still be eager to put his best foot forward in Week 12 versus the Seahawks. That being said, with just 10 points over the last three games, Gano's stock is down at the moment.

Lutz converted both field-goal attempts and all six of his extra-point tries during Sunday's win over the Eagles.

Lutz benefits from an incredible floor in New Orleans' high-octane offense, and has not missed a kick since Week 5 of the regular season. The 28-year-old remains one of the top fantasy options at the kicker position heading into Thursday's tilt against the Falcons.

Carlson converted all three of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries during Sunday's 23-21 win over the Cardinals.

Carlson logged his second consecutive perfect game and played a key role in securing Oakland's Week 11 victory. The rookie fifth-round pick will look to record another solid outing against the Ravens on Sunday.

Tucker converted all three of his field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try during Sunday's win over the Bengals.

Tucker logged his third consecutive perfect game, including a long field-goal try of 56-yards. The talented kicker accounted for 10 of Baltimore's total points during Sunday's 24-21 win against Cincinnati. He'll look to log another strong outing against the Raiders in Week 12.

Maher missed one of two extra points but connected on all three of his field-goal attempts, including a 42-yarder as time expired, in Sunday's 22-19 win over the Falcons.

While he's hardly been automatic -- Maher's missed one kick, either field goal or extra point, in four straight games -- he's still maintained a solid fantasy floor most weeks, booting multiple field goals in seven of his last nine contests. With the low-powered Dallas offense often sputtering in the red zone, Maher should continue to see plenty of opportunities down the stretch.

Fairbairn converted three of his five field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point kicks for 11 points in Sunday's 23-21 victory over Washington.

Fairbairn experienced the highs and lows of placekicking in the Week 11 win. His 54-yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter turned out to be the game-deciding score, but he misfired on a 45-yarder later in the game which would have made life easier for the Texans. He also missed a 44-yarder earlier in the contest. Still, he's been a productive kicker in 2018, leading the NFL with 27 FGA while successfully converting 81.5 percent of his kicks.

Elliott attempted no field goals and made his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 48-7 loss to New Orleans.

The Eagles got absolutely trounced in this one, and the offense never managed to get much going. It marks the second time this season that Elliott has been held without a field-goal but the first time he wasn't even called on for an attempt. The Memphis product has just one multi-field-goal game over his last four but will look to rebound as he goes from the worst matchup for kickers in the Saints to the best one in the Giants at home Week 12.

Bryant succeeded on his only extra-point attempt and put all four of his field-goal tries through the uprights during a 22-19 loss to Dallas on Sunday.

Fresh off a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury, the 17-year veteran appeared clutch as usual, connecting on tries from 21, 41, 45 and 53 yards out against the Cowboys. Bryant has potential to be a popular waiver-wire addition heading into a Thanksgiving night game against New Orleans, for what figures to be a high-scoring affair. The Saints haven't proven to be an especially fruitful matchup for kickers this season, however, allowing the sixth-fewest field-goal attempts, largely in part to a red zone defense giving up touchdowns on 72.4 percent of drives.
