Gano made his lone field-goal attempt and all six of his extra-point tries en route to nine points in Monday night's 45-21 win over the Dolphins.

Gano heads into the bye week in the midst of his most accurate season yet, as he's converted 20 of 21 field goals and 21 of 22 extra points thus far. Combined, Gano's 81 points currently see him ranked sixth in the category league-wide.

The Falcons released Meyer from their practice squad Tuesday.

Meyer was signed onto the Falcons' practice squad last week while Matt Bryant (calf) was nursing an injury. Bryant was ultimately cleared to play in Sunday's win over the Cowboys and endured no setbacks during the contest, so the Falcons will part ways with Meyer in order to open up a spot on the practice squad for quarterback Garrett Grayson.

McManus converted all three of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try en route to 10 points in Sunday's 41-16 loss to the Patriots.

McManus has now reached double figures in back-to-back games heading into Sunday's matchup with the Bengals.

Bryant converted both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries en route to nine points in Sunday's 27-7 win over the Cowboys.

Bryant missed a couple days of practice due to a calf problem, but that didn't prevent him from suiting up and performing well. In fact, the 42-year-old drilled a 50-yard field goal Sunday. Through nine games, Bryant sports 71 points.

Lutz converted both of his field-goal attempts and five of his six extra-point tries en route to 11 points in Sunday's 47-10 win over the Bills.

Lutz now has four double-digit scoring outings this season, but upon missing an extra point Sunday, he's only made all his kicks in three of nine appearances. Given the Saints' offensive production, however, he still boasts 82 points on the campaign.

Zuerlein converted all four of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries en route to 15 points in Sunday's 33-7 win over the Texans.

Zuerlein continues to be an outstanding fantasy asset, as he's now tallied 15 points in three straight games. The league's leading scorer, Zuerlein boasts 23 more points than the next closest kicker.

Gonzalez knocked in his only field-goal attempt during Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Lions. He also converted all three of his PATs.

Gonzalez was successful on a 23-yard attempt Sunday, and his job should be safe for the time being. The rookie kicker is just eight of 12 on field goals on the season, and there was talk of the team trying out other kickers during Cleveland's bye week. That, however, never came to fruition, though another bout with inaccuracy could quickly change that.

Barth made all three of his field-goal attempts while converting an extra point in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Packers.

Barth had his first perfect outing since Week 6, leading to a season-high 10 points. Although he's been a weak fantasy option for most of the season, he's had three field-goal attempts in two straight games, and with the Bears improving a bit on offense, Barth could be emerging as a useful fantasy option.

Fairbairn missed a 34-yard field-goal attempt and made his lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 33-7 loss to the Rams.

Fairbairn has missed two straight field-goal kicks, each from the 30-39 yard range, and has scored just three points over the last two games with Tom Savage at quarterback. We'll never know whether or not the miss played a large factor in Sunday's loss, but it notably occurred during the second quarter at a time when the Texans were down 3-0. Playing without Deshaun Watson (knee), Houston's offense has no margin of error, so it's incumbent on Fairbairn to make kicks that are considered chip shots.

Boswell made two of three field-goals (33, 41) and had a PAT blocked in Pittsburgh's 20-17 come-from-behind win at Indianapolis Sunday.

This was a rough outing for Boswell, who bounced a field goal off the upright and also missed his first PAT of the season, before redeeming himself by making a field goal as time ran out for the win. The Steelers have a short week, hosting the Titans, who allow opposing kickers an average of 7.7 PPG, on Thursday night.
