Lutz made two field goals and an extra point in Sunday's loss to the Lions.

Last week, Lutz did not attempt a field goal but hit seven extra-point attempts. Against the Lions in Week 13, Lutz again tallied seven points, nailing his lone extra-point try and converting both of field-goal attempts, one from 40 yards and another from 32 yards. The Saints have been one of the league's best offenses this season -- notwithstanding the offense's meager output in Week 13 -- so Lutz should continue to be afforded plenty of scoring opportunities over the final quarter of the season.

Sturgis missed a field-goal try from 51 yards but made two extra points in Sunday's loss to the Bengals.

It was only Sturgis' second game this year where he hasn't made at least two field goals. He should come out with a stronger performance in a divisional matchup against the Redskins in Week 14.

Tucker converted all five of his extra-point attempts Sunday and made a 55-yard field goal in the Ravens' win over the Dolphins.

Tucker's perfect season continued Sunday as he made all six of his kicks to account for eight total points. His five extra points were more than twice his previous season high as Baltimore was able to put up 38 points on Miami's defense. Tucker's field goal was his league-leading eighth of at least 50 yards this season. For reference, no kicker made more than seven such kicks in the entire 2015 campaign.

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.
