Lutz made three field goals -- from 49, 45 and 21 yards -- and four extra points in Sunday's win against the Falcons.

Lutz was busy in the victory in Atlanta, and his clutch extra point with just over a minute in regulation helped send the game to overtime. Although Lutz probably has only league-average accuracy, he has a big leg and is backed by the Saints' explosive offense, which makes him a solid fantasy option most weeks.

Lutz made all three of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries en route to 13 points in Sunday's 43-37 win over the Falcons.

Lutz' point tally tied for the second highest in any game across his three-year career. All three of his field goals came during the second quarter, when he converted from 49, 21 and 45 yards. He'll hope New Orleans' prolific offense can give him more chances to shine in Week 4 versus the Giants.

McManus did not attempt a field goal but did convert both his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Ravens.

McManus wasn't afforded many opportunities by the Broncos offense, which struggled. With the high-flying Chiefs coming to town in Week 4, however, he could benefit from a high scoring game.

Butker converted a 37-yard field goal on his lone attempt and made all five of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 38-27 win over the 49ers.

Butker has racked up more extra points (16) than any kicker so far, benefitting from a Chiefs offense that's been unstoppable through three weeks. Should it become less efficient, however, Butker could rack up more points through field-goal attempts, as he's been limited to two such opportunities this season. On the whole, though, his team's success has translated into a fine start.

Boswell converted one of his two field goals and three of four extra-point attempts in Monday's 30-27 win over the Buccaneers.

Through three games, Boswell has made just one of four field goals and has missed two extra-point attempts. Minnesota and Cleveland already replaced their kickers after shaky starts, so we'll have to watch if Pittsburgh brings anyone in this week. Even if Boswell keeps his job, he'll next face the Ravens, who have held opposing kickers to just five points per game this season.

Sanders converted all four of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 28-20 win over the Raiders.

Sanders did not attempt a single field goal. Despite showing reliable accuracy thus far, Miami's offense doesn't seem likely to offer Sanders the volume needed to serve as a top fantasy option at the position. The rookie will look to build upon an impressive beginning to the season in Week 4's matchup against the Patriots.

Gano converted from 40 yards on his lone field-goal attempt and made all four of his extra-point tries en route to seven points in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Bengals.

Gano has now made all 11 kicks he's been faced with through the first three weeks. That gives him a total of 17 points heading into Carolina's bye week.

Hopkins converted his only field-goal attempt during Sunday's 31-17 win over the Packers. He also made all four of his extra points.

Sunday marked the second time in just three games that Hopkins has been held to just one field-goal attempt, as opportunities have thus far evaded him in 2018. The Redskins are on a bye in Week 4, and though he's a reliable kicker, he's not worth holding on to while he's idle.

Tucker drilled two of his three field goals while knocking in all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 27-14 win over Denver.

It was a rare block against Tucker that made for the crooked stat line. Otherwise, Tucker, who has rightfully earned the reputation as one of the league's most reliable kickers, was perfect on the day. The veteran helped Baltimore distance itself in the first half by draining a pair of 52-yard boots and figures to be an asset as the Ravens seek to get back to the playoffs.

Elliott made two of his three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 20-16 win over Indianapolis and tacked on two extra points.

Elliott missed wide left from 55 yards in the first quarter before quickly rebounding to make a 33-yard try in the second and tying the game at 13 in the third from 24 yards out. The second-year kicker has now missed his only two opportunities of more than 40 yards this season, but he's perfect on three tries from closer in. The Memphis product will try to find success from long range on the road at Tennessee in Week 4.
