Brandon McManus K | GB
Broncos' Brandon McManus: Scores five points
McManus both made and missed 40-yard field goal attempts during Sunday's 25-13 win over the Colts, when he also hit both his extra-point tries.
McManus missed wide right on his first field-goal attempt, but was able to straighten things out to convert his second effort from 40 yards. Although McManus has scored 90 points this season, he's missed eight of 30 field-goal opportunities.

Giorgio Tavecchio K | ATL
Raiders' Giorgio Tavecchio: Misses one kick
Tavecchio made and missed 39-yard field goal attempts in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys, when he also converted both of his extra-point tries.
Tavecchio's miss came as the first-half clock expired. Considering the Raiders lost by three, that wide-left effort proved rather costly. Through 14 games, Tavecchio sports just 73 points.

Blair Walsh K | ATL
Seahawks' Blair Walsh: Just one point
Walsh did not attempt a field goal but made his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 42-7 loss to the Rams.
Walsh did all that was required of him Sunday, but unfortunately, that barely translated into any fantasy success. Through 14 games, he now sports 91 points.

Dustin Hopkins K | CLE
Redskins' Dustin Hopkins: Perfect in win Sunday
Hopkins was 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-15 win over the Cardinals.
Hopkins returned to the field Sunday after spending the previous eight weeks on injured reserve due to a strained rotator muscle in his right hip. The third-year pro didn't skip a beat in his return, knocking down a pair of field goals from 24 yards and 32 yards away.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Saints' Wil Lutz: Scores seven points
Lutz made a 23-yard field goal and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-19 win over the Jets.
Lutz's seven-point performance brought his tally to 123 this season, ranking him fifth in the category leaguewide.

Jake Elliott K | PHI
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Reaches double figures
Elliott made field goals from 28 and 20 yards in Sunday's 34-29 win over the Giants, when he also hit all four of his extra-point tries.
Elliott's production didn't suffer from the Eagles being forced into a change at quarterback, as his 10 points gave him a fifth double-digit outing on the campaign.

Justin Tucker K | BAL
Ravens' Justin Tucker: Notches nine points
Tucker made field goals from 31 and 43 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Browns, when he also connected on all three of his extra-point tries.
Tucker has now tallied at least eight points in 10 straight games, a span during which he's missed just one kick. His 121 points currently see him ranked sixth in the category.

Greg Zuerlein K | NYJ
Rams' Greg Zuerlein: Returns to double figures
Zuerlein made field goals from 36 and 31 yards in Sunday's 42-7 win over the Seahawks, but missed one of his five extra-point tries.
Zuerlein's two missed PATs this season have occurred over the past three games, giving him something to fine-tune as he prepares for the playoffs. Despite those miscues, his 158 total points still comfortably lead the league.

Zane Gonzalez K | MIA
Browns' Zane Gonzalez: One field goal versus Ravens
Gonzalez made a 45-yard field goal during Sunday's 27-10 loss to Baltimore.
Though his attempts are still few and far between, Gonzalez has seemingly turned his season around after a rough start by converting six of his last seven field goals. The rookie kicker is 13-for-18 on the season.

Matt Prater K | BUF
Lions' Matt Prater: Flawless against Bears
Prater converted both of his field-goal attempts and both PATs during Saturday's 20-10 victory over the Bears.
Prater's two field goals put his team on top early, and it was a lead the Lions wouldn't relinquish before the final whistle. The Central Florida product hasn't missed a single attempt from any range since his uncharacteristically poor performance against the Ravens in Week 13 and remains an upper-tier fantasy kicker for Detroit's Week 16 matchup with Cincinnati.
