Justin Tucker K | BAL
Ravens' Justin Tucker: Nails two FGAs in win
Tucker went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all four of his PATs in Saturday's 34-17 win over the Steelers.
Tucker made a 51-yard field goal in the first half before nailing a 23-yard chip-shot in the second half of the contest. The performance was the first time since Week 9 that the kicker made multiple field goals without a miss in a game. Tucker is now 21-for-29 on field-goal tries while making 51 of 53 extra-point attempts over 15 games in 2024.

Chris Boswell K | PIT
Steelers' Chris Boswell: Makes lone field-goal attempt
Boswell made his lone field-goal attempt while converting both of his extra-point tries during Saturday's 34-17 loss to Baltimore.
Boswell had made multiple field goals in each of the five games leading up to Saturday's Week 16 tilt, but he had limited opportunities to kick against Baltimore. However, he remained perfect once again and maintained his status as one of the league's most productive kickers this season, as he's converted 39 of 42 field-goal attempts while making all 32 of his extra-point tries.

Brayden Narveson K | TEN
Titans' Brayden Narveson: Set for kicking duties
Narveson will be active as the Titans' kicker in the absence of Nick Folk (abdomen) Sunday against the Colts.
Narveson was elevated from Tennessee's practice squad earlier in the week to serve as insurance for Folk. He served as the kicker in Green Bay earlier in the season and went just 12-for-17 on his field-goal attempts. Given Folk's consistency, Narveson is likely to be a downgrade at the position for Tennessee.

Nick Folk K | NYJ
Titans' Nick Folk: Unable to go in Week 16
Folk (abdomen) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Folk entered Sunday's game as a true game-time decision after managing only one limited practice session during the week. He's been a consistent kicker for the Titans this season, so his absence could affect the team's special-teams play. Brayden Narveson will take over the kicking duties.

Matt Gay K | WAS
Colts' Matt Gay: Active versus Titans
Gay, who had been listed as questionable with a neck injury, is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Titans.
After not practicing Wednesday and Thursday, Gay practiced fully Friday, setting the stage for the kicker to be available for Sunday's contest. In 13 games this season, Gay has recorded 95 points, while connecting on 24 of his 27 field-goal attempts and all 23 of his extra-point tries, a pace that puts him on the fantasy radar in deeper leagues ahead of the next wave of Week 16 action.

Harrison Butker K | KC
Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Makes two field goals vs. Texans
Butker made both of his field-goal attempts and connected on his three extra-point tries in Saturday's 27-19 win over the Texans.
Butker's longest field-goal attempt came from 44 yards. It was his second game back after returning from a four-game absence and IR stint due to a left knee injury. He has now made three field goals and six extra points without a miss since returning.

Ka'imi Fairbairn K | HOU
Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Misses extra point
Fairbairn converted both of his field-goal attempts and one of two extra-point kicks in Saturday's 27-19 loss to the Chiefs in Week 16.
Fairbairn pushed his extra-point miss wide right, which left Houston vulnerable, down 17-16 early in the third quarter. It was his first XP miss of the season and had the potential to impact the eventual outcome. However, the Chiefs won the time-possession battle the rest of the way, and Houston's offense couldn't cash in on its lone red-zone appearance following Fairbairn's miss.

Zane Gonzalez K | WAS
Commanders' Zane Gonzalez: Available against Eagles
Gonzalez (personal) will kick Sunday against the Eagles, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Gonzalez missed practice Wednesday to attend the birth of his child, but he's available to suit up Sunday. Greg Joseph wasn't elevated from Washington's practice squad, confirming Gonzalez's availability. Gonzalez has made three of five field-goal attempts and all 10 PAT tries in three appearances for Washington this season.

Brayden Narveson K | TEN
Titans' Brayden Narveson: Signed by Titans off practice squad
Narveson was signed by Tennessee from the practice squad Saturday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
The decision to sign Narveson to the active roster rather than just elevate him from the practice squad may suggest the Titans anticipate having to use him Sunday against the Colts. Usual kicker Nick Folk (abdomen) is expected to be a game-time decision. A decision on Folk's status, and by extension Narveson's role or lack thereof, will come around 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Brayden Narveson K | TEN
Brayden Narveson: Likely to be elevated Saturday
The Titans are expected to elevate Narveson from the practice Saturday to serve as an emergency option in case Nick Folk (abdomen) is inactive for Sunday's contest at Indianapolis, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Folk managed just one limited practice (Friday) this week and is listed as questionable due to an abdominal injury. Coach Brian Callahan told Turron Davenport of ESPN.com earlier Friday that Folk will be a game-time call, so the Titans' kicker for Week 16 likely will become known about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Narveson was signed to the practice squad Tuesday, which marked his first opportunity since handling kicking duties for the first six games of the season for the Packers. Overall, he was perfect on PATs (16-for-16) but erratic with field goals, connecting on only 12 of 17 attempts.
