Santos knocked home his only field goal attempt in Week 3 against the Chargers, adding three extra points.

Santos is a perfect 7-for-7 in field goal attempts through three weeks, and should continue to receive opportunities behind a Chiefs offense that has an improved potency from previous campaigns.

Barth connected on a 34-yard field goal and converted a pair of extra point attempts Sunday against the Cowboys.

Making his first field goal of the season, Barth ended up with five points. With only two field goal attempts over three games, he's not much of a fantasy option, except in the very deepest of leagues.

Myers converted one of two field-goal attempts and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's Week 3 loss to Baltimore.

Myers connected on a 49-yard attempt midway through the fourth quarter to give Jacksonville a 17-16 lead, but with an opportunity to put Jacksonville up four with just over three minutes remaining, Myers' attempt from 52 yards was blocked. The Ravens recovered the ball and were able to drive down for what would prove to be the game-winning field goal with 1:02 remaining. Myers is now 4-of-6 overall on the season, while converting all six of his extra-point attempts.

Hopkins was 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on extra points in Sunday's win over the Giants.

Hopkins had a busy day Sunday, knocking down five field goals, the longest from 49 yards out. The 25-year-old remains perfect on the year and has knocked down at least three field goals each game, making him one of the most prized kickers in fantasy leagues.

Walsh made both field-goal attempts, from 31 and 28 yards, but missed his only extra-point attempt Sunday.

Walsh continues to be inconsistent from shorter distances this season as he's missed two extra-point attempts and a 37-yard field-goal attempt. However, there are no signs the Vikings are considering a change at kicker.

Boswell made 1-of-2 field goals (40) in Pittsburgh's 34-3 loss to Philadelphia on Sunday.

The day got off to a bad start when Markus Wheaton dropped a touchdown pass in the back of the end zone on Pittsburgh's opening drive, and Boswell had his ensuing 36-yard field goal attempt blocked. After averaging 31 points the first two weeks, the Steelers struggled offensively all game, limiting Boswell's scoring opportunities.

McManus converted four-of-five field goal attempts and all three PAT attempts in Sunday's win over the Colts.

McManus nailed field goals of 23, 43, 33 and 35 yards on Sunday, his lone blemish being a 54-yard miss following the game's opening drive. With Denver's offense, again, having plenty of success in the middle of the field, but some struggles as they approach the goal line, McManus should be called on often this season.

Tucker connected on both of his PAT attempts as well as all three of his field goal attempts in Sunday's win over the Browns.

Tucker has hit all five of his field goal tries this season, including four beyond 40 yards and two of 50 yards or more. That's progress for the All-Pro kicker. After going 10-for-11 on kicks of 50 yards or greater in the first two seasons of his career, distance has been Tucker's Achilles heel as of late, with a rate of just eight out of 19 in 2014 and 2015.

Barth missed his only field-goal attempt, but converted both of his extra-point attempts Monday against the Eagles.

Barth missed a 31-yard field-goal attempt as he hit the left upright early in the game when the Bears were still in the contest. As the kicker on a weak offense, he's little more than a backup fantasy option.

Bryant hit two chip-shot field goals and all three extra points in Sunday's win over the Raiders.

Both of his field-goal attempts were shorter than his extra-point attempts, but it's good to see the veteran showing off some accuracy, even if it is from close range. Bryant is a good play Week 3 against the Saints.
