Tucker went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and converted two extra-point tries in Sunday's win over the Steelers.

Tucker was automatic Sunday night, knocking through field goals from 28, 31, 47 and 49 yards away. He is now 6-for-7 on field-goal attempts past 40 yards on the season.

Lutz was 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's win over the Giants.

Lutz has been perfect over the past two weeks, connecting on seven field-goal attempts in that span. He'll look to maintain perfection next Monday against the Redskins.

Sanders converted his only extra-point attempt in the Dolphins' 38-7 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Sanders simply did not receive scoring opportunities in Week 4 thanks to an inept showing from the Dolphins offense. Though the rookie kicker has shown reliable accuracy this season, it seems unlikely that he'll receive the volume necessary to serve as a top fantasy option.

Coach Sean McVay said Zuerlein (groin) may return Week 5 at Seattle, Rich Hammond of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Zuerlein seems to be progressing a bit faster than expected, though he's far from a lock to make it back. Given his status as an elite kicking option in the fantasy world, it's a situation worth monitoring Wednesday when the Rams release their first injury report of the week.

Prater converted his only field-goal attempt and three PATs during Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Cowboys.

The Lions had trouble consistently getting into field-goal range against a Cowboys defense that entered the game sitting in the top 10 in most statistical categories. Prater subsequently fell victim to low usage. However, the veteran is still averaging 2.5 field-goal attempts per game on the season. Therefore, look for him to bounce back in a Week 5 matchup against the Packers in what could be a high-scoring affair, one that will notably be played within the indoor confines of Detroit's Ford Field.

Maher connected on both his extra-point attempts and all four of his field-goal tries, including a 38-yarder on the final play of the game, in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Lions.

The rookie has now converted eight straight field goals since missing the first attempt of his NFL career. The Cowboys' offense looked better in Week 4 but still had difficulty finishing drives, and Maher could prove to be one of the better fantasy options available for the rest of the season, as he's likely to get multiple FG attempts each week.

Myers connected on field goals of 27 and 38 yards in Sunday's 31-12 loss to the Jaguars.

Myers didn't miss a kick, though he didn't get to attempt a PAT with New York opting to go for two after its lone touchdown. Expect the fourth-year kicker -- who's made all seven of his field-goal tries this season -- to be busier against a less stout Broncos defense in Week 5.

Boswell converted on both field-goal tries (34, 39) during Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Ravens.

This season has gotten off to a rough start for Boswell, and this was his first game without a missed kick. He has not scored more than six points in any game and next faces the Falcons, against which opposing kickers have averaged 7.5 points in four games.

Bryant converted on 3-of-3 field-goal tries with three successful extra-point attempts, but Atlanta lost 37-36 to Cincinnati on Sunday.

Money Matt connected on attempts from 28, 32 and 55 yards out, keeping him perfect on field goals in 2018 (6-for-6), with one point-after try that clanked off the upright and was no good in Week 1. Bryant may have been more valuable prior to the Week 4 explosion had Atlanta's red-zone offense not been so effective, but he is a potential top-five option at kicker moving forward given the ease with which the team has been pushing the ball downfield over the past three weeks.

Fairbairn converted 3-of-4 field-goal attempts and all four extra-point kicks for 13 points in a 37-34 Week 4 overtime against Indianapolis.

On a day when the Colts' Adam Vinatieri set a new NFL career record by making his 566th field goal, the Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn was the bigger headliner. He booted two field goals in overtime to clinch Houston's first win of the season. This was the second straight week with double-digit points for Fairbairn, who has 11 field-goal attempts through four games, tied for most in the NFL.
