Prater converted all five field-goal attempts and his only extra-point attempt during Sunday's game against the Saints.

Prater tied his career high for field goals made in a game Sunday, easily logging his most productive day of the season along the way. Prater again showcased his leg power by notching his second 50-yarder in four weeks. He'll look to stay on fire next week against an average Bears defense allowing the 17th-most points per game in 2016.

Boswell (abdomen) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

With Boswell unable to go Sunday, Randy Bullock will handle the Steelers' Week 13 kicking duties.

Boswell (abdomen) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Boswell's addition to the injury report obviously came late in the week with the game just one day away, so the severity of his abdomen issue is a bit unclear. If he's ultimately unable to play, coach Mike Tomlin will either use Randy Bullock (signed early Saturday) or elect to go for two after each touchdown.

Santos made two field goals (both in overtime) and both extra points in Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Santos' game-winner in overtime clanked off the upright and barely squeaked in. He's still perfect in each of the past four weeks and has missed just one PAT this season. While the Chiefs offense isn't continually explosive, they have allowed him the third-most field goal attempts in the league this season. With the Falcons on deck next week, there may be plenty of points to go around.

Sturgis hit both of his field goal attempts and added an extra point in Monday's loss to the Packers.

Sturgis' kicks came from 50 and 48 yards, providing nice production for fantasy owners. He has attempted at least two field goals in every game except one this season and is converting at an 86 percent clip, making him a decent fantasy option in the final stretch of the season.

Tucker buried all four of his field goal attempts, including three from beyond 50 yards, in Sunday's win over the Bengals. He also converted his lone extra point attempt.

According to USA Today, Tucker became the first kicker in NFL history to convert three field goals of 50 or more yards in a half Sunday. He's a perfect 27-for-27 on field goals this season, including a perfect 7-for-7 from beyond 50 yards. Tucker also leads all kickers in field goals made this season by two FGM, besting the 25 from Washington's Dustin Hopkins and Kansas City's Cairo Santos.

Bryant connected one a 45-yard field goal and five extra points in Sunday's win over Arizona.

The crafty veteran is proving to be a reliable and productive kicker for the Falcons and fantasy owners alike, having made 24 field goals this season, and his only two misses have come from over 50 yards. In this explosive offense, Bryant will continue to get many kicking opportunities.

Myers did not attempt a field goal but converted all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's loss to Buffalo.

Myers has converted 83.3 percent of his field-goal attempts on the season, but he remains a lower-tier fantasy option, as volume remains an issue. The 25-year-old has made only 15 field goals through 12 weeks, tying him with Phil Dawson and Greg Zuerlein for 21st in the NFL. On top of that, the Jaguars' offensive struggles have limited Myers to 22 extra-point attempts, also tied for 21st in the league.

Lutz did not attempt a field goal but made all seven of his extra-point tries in Sunday's win against the Rams.

The Saints' offense was firing on all cylinders in a home tilt against Los Angeles, and while Lutz was not afforded any field-goal attempts, he was nonetheless kept busy. Further, after having another kick blocked last week against the Panthers -- the third time he's had a kick blocked this season -- the Saints brought in veteran special teams coach Kevin O'Dea as an assistant earlier this week, and Lutz's kicks were noticeable higher as a result. Despite converting only 16 of 22 field goals this season, Lutz's 38 extra-point kicks lead the league, and with the offense clicking right now, the rookie kicker makes for a solid option in many fantasy leagues.

Folk connected on one of two field-goal attempts, both from 50-plus yards, and hit both of his PATs during Sunday's loss to the Patriots.

Folk was successful on a 51-yard attempt to open the scoring in the first quarter, but his 54-yarder with just over two minutes left in the first half was blocked. He's now had one or zero successful field goals in five of his last six games, and with the struggles of the Jets' offense overall, he's hardly a high-upside fantasy kicking option.
