Chiefs kicker Cairo Santos connected on just one of his three field goal attempts Sunday, converting from 35 yards out.

Santos wasn't really at fault for either of his two missed attempts, with one being blocked and one coming from 66 yards as time expired. He remains among the league leaders in field goals made following seven field goals in Week 4, and the loss of Jamaal Charles could lead to more stalled drives and field goal opportunities for Santos moving forward.

Eagles kicker Caleb Sturgis converted all four of his field goal attempts and three of his four extra point attempts in Sunday's 39-17 win over the Saints.

Despite missing an extra point in two straight games, Sturgis looked much better in his second game with the Eagles. It likely helped that the stakes weren't nearly as high, with three of his field goals coming in the second half after the Eagles' lead had ballooned to multiple scores. Head coach Chip Kelly said Monday that the team is sticking with Sturgis as their kicker moving forward.

Jaguars kicker Jason Myers converted his only field goal attempt Sunday, knocking in a 31-yarder in the third quarter.

Coming off of a disastrous Week 4 in which he missed two potential game-winning field goals, Myers rebounded with a quiet Week 5. While the lone field goal attempt left owners with sometime to be desired, Myers did provide four made extra points.

Coons was marvelous again Sunday, hitting four field goals (43, 43, 37, 32) and converting his lone extra point attempt.

Coons converted his first career game-winning field goal in overtime, drilling a 32-yard shot to lock down the victory for the Browns. He may have even scored a few more points had the Browns not attempted multiple two-point conversions late in the game. The 23-year-old has been quietly productive for Cleveland, and remains without a missed kick in the 2015 season. This output has lifted Coons into the league's top-ten total scorers with 42 points on the year.

Hopkins made two of three field goals - making a 52 yarder and missing a 53 yarder in Sunday's loss to the Falcons.

Hopkins is eight for nine on field goals this season.

Kicker Billy Cundiff has been signed by the Bills, according to WKBW in Buffalo.

The veteran kicker will likely be the backup to Dan Carpenter, who has been dealing with a minor knee issue. The Bills released kicker Jordan Gay to make room for Cundiff on the roster.

Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein connected on a 30-yard field goal and hit all three of his extra points in Sunday's 24-22 victory against Arizona.

Although he hasn't been used extensively, Zuerlein has still been rock solid with six field goals and eight extra points. While that's not going to garner much fantasy attention, he certainly has produced as well as St. Louis could have hoped thus far.

Chiefs kicker Cairo Santos made all seven of his field goal attempts Sunday against the Bengals.

Santos had all of four field goal attempts through three weeks this season, but nearly tripled his total with his efforts Sunday. The Chiefs face the relatively porous defense of the Bears in Week 5, which could lead to a fair amount of scoring chances for a team averaging 25 points per game.

Vikings kicker Blair Walsh made two of three field goals and both extra point attempts in Sunday's loss at Denver. He missed a 39-yard field goal attempt. "He needs to make those kicks. It's disappointing," head coach Mike Zimmer told ESPN 1500 am Twin Cities.

Walsh's struggles continue as he's missed a field goal in his of his last seven games, including the preseason. He's 5 of 7 on field goal attempts during the regular season.

Jaguars kicker Jason Myers connected on 2 of 4 field goal attempts in Sunday's loss to the Colts. Myers was 5 of 6 on the season entering Sunday, and while his two made field goals provided some fantasy value, both misses proved to be costly for the 1-3 Jaguars.

With six seconds remaining in the game, Myers missed what would have been a go-ahead 53-yard field goal, and he again failed to connect in overtime, pushing a 48-yarder wide left on Jacksonville's second possession of the extra period. The Colts subsequently assumed possession at their own 30 yard line and marched down the field for a game-winning field goal of their own.
