Maher kicked two field goals and an extra point in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks.

His 50-yard field goal in the second quarter gave the Cowboys their first points of the day. After a shaky NFL debut in Week 1, Maher hasn't missed a kick in the two games since, but the team's lackluster offense limits his fantasy ceiling heading into a Week 4 tilt with the Lions.

Prater converted all four of his field-goal attempts and both PATs during Sunday's 26-10 victory over the Patriots.

Those who've stuck with Prater in the wake of his disappointing regular-season debut were handsomely rewarded Sunday, and the kicker has now converted six field goals and five extra points over the last two weeks. Considering no other kicker leaguewide has attempted as many field goals through three games -- coupled with the improving state of the Lions offense -- Prater has reestablished himself as one of the better fantasy options at his position.

Sturgis made his only field-goal attempt Sunday, but made just two of his three extra-point attempts in the 35-23 loss to the Rams.

Sturgis' missed extra point didn't exactly come back to bite the Chargers, but it's clear that special teams problems are still plaguing this team. Sturgis has failed to generate much fantasy production, but that's thanks in large part to the team's ability to convert in the red zone. He'll face the 49ers in Week 4.

Bryant did not attempt a field goal, but connected on all three of his point-after tries during Sunday's 43-37 overtime loss to New Orleans.

Fantasy owners invested in Falcons skill-position players are thrilled with the team's red-zone resurgence Sunday, but those with stock in Bryant are underwhelmed with the veteran kicker's production through Week 3. Bryant has yet to break eight points (standard scoring) in any of Atlanta's games this year, and his three-point outing against the Saints marks his lowest output since Week 7 of the 2017 season. He hasn't missed a field-goal try yet this year, but the volume just hasn't been there, as Bryant has only three attempts to his credit on the young season.

Fairbairn converted all three of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point kick in the Week 3 loss to the Giants.

Houston's offense was unable to finish in the red zone Sunday, scoring just twice in five trips inside the 20, which enabled Fairbairn's highest scoring output of the season. His 54-yarder was a season long and gives him four makes in six attempts beyond the 50-yard line for his career.

Joseph converted both of his field goals and one extra-point attempt during Thursday's 21-17 win against the Jets.

In Joseph's first game as an NFL kicker, he did what Zane Gonzalez struggled to do -- put the ball through the uprights. Even though the Browns currently lead the league in field-goal attempts, Joseph shouldn't be considered a reliable fantasy kicker until his sample size of success grows a bit larger.

Myers connected on a 28-yard field goal and both of his PAT attempts in Thursday's 21-17 loss to Cleveland.

Myers wasn't asked to do much, as the Jets raced out to a 14-0 lead and mustered just one field goal the rest of the way. Things don't project to get any easier for this offense with a trip to Jacksonville next on the docket.

Sanders did not attempt a field goal and missed one of his three extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Jets.

Sanders was perfect while scoring nine points in Week 1, so he'll be disappointed by Sunday's letdown on his third and final extra-point opportunity. The rookie will look to clean things up this weekend versus the Raiders.

Butker did not attempt a field goal, but made all six of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 42-37 win over the Steelers.

Butker did all that was asked of him from a Kansas City offense that was highly efficient Sunday. Given how well the Chiefs have moved the ball so far this season, Butker should have plenty of scoring opportunities going forward, even if those were limited to one-point chances in Week 2.

Boswell missed his only field-goal attempt from 49 yards and went 3-for-4 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs.

It's been a shaky start to the season for Boswell, who is now 0-for-2 on field goal attempts. Both attempts have come from over 40 yards, so it isn't time for the Steelers to hit the panic button yet.
