Bryant (hamstring) practiced fully Thursday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Bryant followed a limited showing Wednesday with a full practice one day later, clearing him for his typical place-kicking duties. On the backs of eight successful field goals and 16 made extra points, he currently sits third in scoring with 40 points.

Bryant (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

The Falcons' No. 1 scoring offense has been a boon for Bryant's prospects, and he hasn't disappointed, making all eight field goal tries and every one of his 16 PATs. With 40 points on the ledger, he sits behind just Dustin Hopkins and Mike Nugent in the scoring department, but a limited practice Wednesday causes some concern for Bryant's Week 5 availability.

Walsh made a 44-yard field goal, but missed a 46-yard attempt in Monday's win over the Giants. He made all three extra-point attempts.

Walsh's miss doesn't inspire confidence, as he's missed three field goals and two extra points in four games. However, he's missed just one attempt shorter than 40 yards and doesn't appear to be in any danger of losing his job despite some fans calling for him to be replaced.

Myers converted all three of his field goal attempts and all three of his extra point attempts in Sunday's Week 4 win over the Colts.

Myers connected from 22, 46 and 49 yards, and he's now 7-of-9 overall on the season, with both misses coming from beyond 50 yards. The consistency, or lack thereof, of the Jaguars' offense may be Myers' biggest hindrance, though he remains a mid-tier kicker in most fantasy formats. The Jaguars are on bye in Week 5 before heading to Chicago for a Week 6 matchup with the Bears.

Boswell converted al five of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 43-14 win over the Chiefs.

Perhaps Pittsburgh's offense is too efficient, as they scored a franchise-record 22 points in the first quarter, with three touchdowns in a span of six offensive snaps, and head coach Mike Tomlin didn't win any friends in the fantasy community, opting to go for a two-point conversion after their first touchdown. Through the first four games of the season, Boswell has attempted just four field goals, second fewest in the league (Roberto Aguayo, Tampa Bay, 3). The Steelers will now host the Jets, who allow opposing kickers an average of eight points per game.

Lutz did not attempt a field goal but converted all five PATs in the Saints' 35-34 win over the Chargers in Week 4.

Lutz has seen his field-goal attempts decrease in each consecutive game this season, but that may be more due to the Saints' improved red-zone efficiency than a decrease in effectiveness moving the football. While Lutz consequently appears to be an inconsistent fantasy asset, he will remain a high-upside option as long as he's the leg of the New Orleans offense.

Santos missed his only field-goal attempt in Sunday's game against the Steelers, knocking it off the right upright.

Santos entered the contest a perfect 7-for-7 on field goals this season but played his role in the team's blowout loss to the Steelers on Sunday, missing from 49 yards out. He added two extra points in the contest but heads into a bye in Week 5 before traveling to Oakland in Week 6.

Gano made his lone field-goal attempt and both extrapoint tries in Sunday's loss to the Falcons.

Gano's field goal make came from 54 yards, but he was limited to only five total points Sunday due to the Panthers attempting a pair of two-point conversions while trying to narrow a large deficit. After Sunday's outing, Gano has now made eight of 10 field-goal attempts and nine of 10 extra points this season.

Zuerlein converted a 29-yard field goal and hit two extra points during Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Zuerlein has converted all five of his field-goal attempts and each of his six extra-point kicks this season. After hitting just 20 of 30 field goals in 2015, he is trending back toward the reliable kicker who went 50 for 58 (86.2 percent) combined during the 2013 and 2014 campaigns.

Barth made one of two field-goal attempts while also converting both of his extra point kicks Sunday against the Lions.

Barth's miss came from 50 yards out, giving him a disappointing fantasy day with only five points. He's made just two of his four field-goal attempts on the season, making him an extremely weak fantasy option.
