    Jaguars' Jason Myers: Converts all three field goals in Week 3

    Myers converted three field goals and five extra-point attempts in Sunday's 44-7 drubbing of the Ravens.

    Myers was a bit shaky during the preseason, but he's since righted the ship, and Week 3 marked his best performance of the young season. Myers hit from 23, 45 and 29 yards -- all in the first half -- and is now 7-for-8 on field goals this season.

    Saints' Wil Lutz: Converts two field goals in Week 3

    Lutz made two of three field goals and converted all four of his extra-point kicks in Sunday's 34-13 win against the Panthers.

    Lutz nailed a 50-yard attempt in the fourth quarter, but he couldn't quite connect on a 56-yard field goal on the ensuing drive. Nevertheless, the Saints appear to have the utmost confidence in their young kicker from just about any distance, which should continue to make him a solid fantasy asset in most leagues.

    Chargers' Younghoe Koo: Makes lone field-goal attempt

    Koo made his only field-goal attempt and also knocked home his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs.

    Koo rebounded well after a two-week stretch which saw him miss three of the first four field goals of his career. Still, it wasn't like his lone try Sunday was especially difficult, as Koo drilled a 29-yard attempt to cap off an extended drive by the Chargers. Despite playing in an uptempo offense, Koo will need to string together a handful of consistent performances in order to be a mainstay in fantasy lineups.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Perfect in Week 3 loss

    Fairbairn successfully converted four field-goal attempts and two extra-point kicks in Houston's 36-33 loss to New England in Week 3.

    The Texans had trouble finishing off drives once they got to the red zone, with their 1-for-3 success rate in terms of touchdowns helping to pad Fairbairn's numbers. It was encouraging for his fantasy prospects to see the Houston offense explode in Week 3, after it had scored a total of 20 points the first two weeks. For the season, he's 6-for-6 on field goals and 5-for-5 on extra points, good for 23 points through three games.

  • Nick Folk K | ATL

    Buccaneers' Nick Folk: Mistake-free performance in Week 3

    Folk converted a field goal of 40 yards and made both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Vikings.

    The veteran kicker has been flawless on field goals through the first two games and counts an extra-point miss in last week's opener as his only mistake. Folk's extensive body of work points toward the likelihood of a high-percentage tally on field goals and close to 100 percent accuracy on extra points, and the Bucs offense should give plenty of opportunities for both over the course of the season.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Panthers' Graham Gano: Remains perfect for season

    Gano made both his field-goal attempts and his lone extra point en route to seven points in Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Saints.

    Gano's respectable kicks from 32 and 48 yards maintained his perfect field-goal record through three games. With three extra points to boot, Gano has impressively accounted for 27 points thus far.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Costly missed field goal in loss

    Boswell made one of two field-goals (32) and both extra-point attempts in Pittsburgh's 23-17 overtime loss to Chicago on Sunday.

    Boswell's miss came on a 35-yard attempt that was blocked and returned 73 yards before being fumbled out of bounds in the end zone for a touchback. However, an illegal bat penalty on holder Jordan Berry gave the Bears the ball at the Pittsburgh 1-yard line, leading to a Connor Barth field goal with no time remaining in the first half. Fantasy owners may want to look for other kicking options in Week 4, as Boswell averaged just 4.5 points in his two games against Baltimore last season.

  • Connor Barth K | CHI

    Bears' Connor Barth: Converts one of two field-goal attempts Sunday

    Barth scored five points in Sunday's victory over the Steelers.

    Barth connected on a chip-shot field goal while missing a longer attempt earlier in the contest. As the kicker on one of the weaker offenses in the league, he's not a very reliable fantasy option.

  • Rams' Greg Zuerlein: Totals 11 points in high-scoring win

    Zuerlein connected on both his field-goal attempts and converted five extra-point kicks during Thursday's 41-39 win over San Francisco.

    With the Rams offense showcasing the ability to move the ball and put points on the scoreboard, Zuerlein's fantasy value is on the rise. Of course, he's also helped his cause by hitting all seven of his field-goal attempts and converting each of his 12 extra-point kicks through three games. The Rams have a favorable matchup against the Cowboys on deck in Week 4, too.

  • Blair Walsh K | ATL

    Seahawks' Blair Walsh: Misses PAT in Week 2

    Walsh made two field goals Sunday but missed his only point after attempt.

    Walsh's long was of 27 yards. His penchant for missing PATs is partly what got him released in Minnesota last year.
