Connor Barth K | CHI
Buccaneers' Connor Barth: Tallies three field goals, three extra points in Week 7
Barth hit all three of his field goal attempts, successfully converting from 22, 45, and 21 yards, and also had three successful extra-point attempts in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Redskins.
Barth has brought the veteran stability the Bucs were hoping for when they signed him to replace inconsistent rookie Kyle Brindza. The sixth-year placekicker is perfect two weeks into his second Tampa stint, successfully converting all six field goal and point-after attempts over that span. Barth will try to extend his impeccable streak in a Week 8 tilt against the Falcons that the Bucs will likely need plenty of scoring to stay in.

Falcons' Matt Bryant: Hits a Field Goal and Extra Point
Bryant connected on a 27-yard field goal and drilled an extra point in Sunday's win over the Titans.
He also missed an attempt from 47 yards late in the final quarter that could have extended Falcons lead to six points. He has only connected on three of his last six field goal attempts, but he remains a perfect 20-for-20 on extra points on the year.

Nick Folk K | ATL
Jets' Nick Folk: Scores 11 points
Folk connected on all three of his field goal attempts and added a pair of extra points Sunday against the Patriots.
Folk has been getting plenty of opportunities lately, as he's now had three field goal attempts in three of his last four games. Unfortunately, this is the first week he's been able to convert all of his chances when being given three attempts. That said, he's averaging 10 points over his last three games and is quickly becoming a starting fantasy option.

Cairo Santos K | CHI
Chiefs' Cairo Santos: Makes three of four
Santos knocked home three of his four attempts in Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Following a couple quiet weeks in which he made just two field goals total, Santos received more opportunities against the Steelers again Sunday, and made the most of them. He's now made 15 of 19 attempts on the season, but kicks for an offense that has been struggling following Jamaal Charles' knee injury. The Chiefs will square off against the Lions at home this week, which could provide him a few more field goal opportunities if the Chiefs continue to finish off drives.

Browns' Travis Coons: Had two field goals in loss to Rams
Coons stayed perfect on the season, sinking two field goals in Sunday's loss to the Rams.
Coons is 14/14 on field goal attempts through the first seven games, and 11/11 on extra point attempts. While he is a solid option at kicker, there are many in line ahead of him in most fantasy leagues due to a stagnant Browns offense that seldom allows for his amazing prowess in the kicking game.

Greg Zuerlein K | NYJ
Rams' Greg Zuerlein: Struggling with accuracy
Zuerlein missed a pair of field goals and made a third attempt in Sunday's 24-6 win against Cleveland.
One of those misses was excusable, as it was a 63-yard attempt, but he also missed a 35-yarder. He has now missed five field goals in his last two weeks and seems to have lost his early-season confidence.

Graham Gano K | NYG
Panthers' Graham Gano: Perfect Week 7 performance
Gano converted both of his field goal attempts and all three extra point tries en route to nine points against the Eagles on Sunday night.
Gano's pair of field goals both came during the fourth quarter, from 35 and 29 yards, respectively. In doing so, Gano brought his season conversion rate to 10-of-13 field goals. With 18-of-19 extra point tries successful as well, Gano totes 48 points on the campaign.

Chris Boswell K | PIT
Steelers' Chris Boswell: Remains perfect in loss
Boswell converted his two field goal attempts (24, 36) and his lone extra point attempt Sunday against the Chiefs.
Boswell remained perfect on the season, and is now 7-of-7 on field goal attempts and 5-of-5 on point after attempts. He has an attractive match-up against division rival Cincinnati in Week 9, against whom Pittsburgh has scored 99 points in their last three meetings.

Justin Tucker K | BAL
Ravens' Justin Tucker: Misses another field goal
Tucker made two of his three field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the 49ers.
Tucker probably has the longest leash of any kicker in the NFL, and he's still 11-for-14 on field-goal attempts this season, with two of the misses coming from beyond 50 yards and the other from 40-49. The Ravens may not be good enough to win games, but the offense has at least been competent enough for Tucker to remain a top-10 kicker. He does get a tough matchup this week, with the Ravens traveling to Arizona.

Travis Coons K | LAR
Browns' Travis Coons: Five total points in defeat
Coons converted his only field goal try (26 yards) and went 2-for-2 on extra point attempts in Sunday's loss to the Broncos.
Coons remained perfect on the season, but didn't really have a lot of opportunities to break his streak. The Denver defense largely kept the Browns' offense in check, which limited the output of the kicking game. Coons will be kicking in a dome when the Browns head to St. Louis for a Week 7 contest against the Rams.
