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.

Gano converted two of three PATs but didn't attempt a field goal in Sunday's loss to the Raiders.

For the first time in the 2016 campaign, Gano didn't attempt a single field goal. This is odd, as the Florida State product attempted three kicks in three of the Panthers' previous four games. Look for him to be more involved in Week 13 against the Seahawks.

Barth connected on three extra points Sunday against the Titans.

Barth didn't attempt a field goal, and he ended up with a weak fantasy performance. He's not worthy of a roster spot in most fantasy leagues.

Gay was signed by the Bills on Saturday, Bills' sideline reporter Sal Capaccio reports.

After spending two seasons with the Bills, Gay was released by the team in September. Veteran Dan Carpenter has come around after a rough start to the season and was just named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week, so we can presume Gay is around to give the Bills another option on kickoffs, or in case Carpenter is battling some kind of minor ailment.

Boswell connected on all four of his extra point attempts during Thursday's 28-7 win at Indianapolis.

Boswell made the most of his limited scoring opportunities, but continues to be a disappointment to fantasy owners who hoped to take advantage of Pittsburgh's juggernaut offense.

Hopkins went 2-for-4 in field goal attempts and 2-for-2 in extra point attempts in Thursday's loss to the Cowboys.

Hopkins continues to struggle from distance as he is 2-for-5 from over 50 yards this season. He's now 23-of-27 on field goal attempts this season. He'll look to rebound next week indoors at Arizona.

Prater converted three of three field-goal attempts and his only PAT on Thursday against the Vikings.

Prater posted an identical stat line to his Week 9 performance against this same Minnesota team, sending three field goals through the uprights as the Lions again had a tough time reaching the end zone. Since Detroit has been among the league leaders in field-goal attempts per game through the past four weeks, look for Prater to have another productive day next Sunday against the Saints.

Santos knocked home a 22-yard field goal and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

On a day when high winds caused a league-record 11 missed extra-point attempts, Santos' day was unaffected. The Chiefs may struggle to move the ball against Denver next week, which could limit Santos' opportunities for a second straight contest.
