Boswell converted both his extra point attempts in the Steelers' 21-14 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Even with the return of Ben Roethlisberger from knee surgery, the offense struggled all game. After falling behind 10-0 and managing just 66 yards of offense in the first half, Pittsburgh was forced to play catchup, limiting Boswell's scoring chances. He has just seven field goals on the season, tied for the fewest in the league this season (Roberto Aguayo, Tampa Bay).

Folk connected on all three of his field-goal attempts (23, 21 and 28 yards) and both of his PATs in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins.

Folk's three field-goal attempts were the most he's had in a game since Week 2 against Buffalo, and with the Jets offense continuing to struggle, there's little reason for optimism that he'll get many more opportunities in Week 10 against the Rams.

Prater connected on all three of his field-goal attempts as well as his lone PAT during Sunday's 22-16 overtime victory against the Vikings.

Prater was perfect Sunday, but no kick was more important than the 58-yarder with two seconds remaining that sent the game into overtime. While this was only the first time all season Prater has made three field goals, it's also the fourth time he attempted three field goals -- he simply hasn't been able to connect on every one before. Point being, the opportunities have been there, so if Prater can continue to display the same accuracy coming of the Lions' Week 10 bye, even more productive fantasy outings should be in store.

McManus converted three PATs and nailed field goals of 28 and 22 yards in Sunday's win over San Diego.

Make it five straight games with at least two field goals for McManus. The benefit of kicking for a team that tends to stall near the goal line is consistent field goal opportunities. The trade off has been that most of those attempts have been chip shots. Just four of McManus' 16 makes this season have been from 40 yards or longer.

Walsh made a 30-yard field goal, his only attempt, and converted his only extra-point attempt in Monday's loss to Chicago.

After much consternation after missing two field goals in Week 1 and two extra-point attempts in his first three games, Walsh has quietly bounced back by making seven of his last eight field-goal attempts. He's also made his last nine extra-point attempts.

Bryant hit two field goals and three extra points in Sunday's win over the Packers.

Bryant has been accurate as ever this season, and he'll continue to get plenty of kicking opportunities in this electric offense. Although he won't be kicking in a dome this week, the Falcons travel to Tampa Bay, who are allowing 27 points a game this season, meaning Bryant should have plenty of chances to sweep the leg.

Santos made three of his four field goals and all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's game against the Colts. However, he clanked a 28-yard field goal off the right upright in his only miss of the day.

Santos has been solid for the Chiefs overall this season but converted just seven of his 10 field-goal attempts in October and has just one attempt from over 50 yards this season. Kansas City faces a slight bump in opposing defense against the Jaguars in Week 9 after three straight games against below-average teams, potentially limiting Santos' attempts a bit more.

Lutz made all four of his field-goal attempts, as well as his only extra-point kick, in Sunday's win against the Seahawks.

Lutz had a career day against Seattle, converting kicks of 21, 22, 41, and 53 yards. The undrafted rookie from Georgia State now has made three field goals of 50 or more yards this season and hit 11 of 15 field-goal attempts in total. He has the confidence of head coach Sean Payton, and backed by a Drew Brees-led offense, Lutz should continue to see plenty of opportunities in the second half.

Prater converted two of three field-goal attempts as well as his only PAT during Sunday's game against the Texans.

Though Detroit was largely stifled by the Texans' tough pass defense, Prater still received three field-goal attempts on the day. However, the veteran leg, for the third time this season, was unable to connect on all three. Rather, he again tied his season-high of two conversions. Up next for Prater and the Lions is a visit to Minnesota for a contest in which points may be hard to come by.

Santos finished Sunday's game a perfect 2-for-2 on field goal attempts and made all three extra-point attempts.

After a couple of shaky weeks in the kicking game, Santos appears to have found his groove once again. With a lackluster Colts defense on deck for the Chiefs, he could have another week with multiple field goal attempts ahead.
