Harrison Butker K | KC
Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Limited action in loss
Butker did not attempt a field goal and went 4-for-4 on extra-point tries in Monday's 31-28 loss to the Jaguars.
Butker went without a field-goal try for the first time this season after having attempted at least two in each of the team's first four games of the year. The kicker will enter Week 6 having gone 10-for-13 on field-goal attempts, including 3-for-5 from 50-plus yards, while making 11 of 13 PATs over five contests this season.

Jude McAtamney K | NYG
Giants' Jude McAtamney: Returns to practice squad
McAtamney reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
McAtamney operated as New York's kicker for the second straight week in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Saints, making two PATs in the contest. He's eligible to be elevated from the practice squad one more time before the team would need to officially sign him to the active roster. With Graham Gano (groin) sidelined for at least two more weeks, McAtamney will likely be elevated again for Thursday's game versus Philadelphia.

Spencer Shrader K | IND
Colts' Spencer Shrader: Diagnosed with torn ACL and MCL
Coach Shane Steichen confirmed Monday that Shrader will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee in Sunday's win over the Raiders, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.
It's a tough blow for Shrader, who had finally been making his way in the NFL as a consistent kicker after winning the Colts' job this past summer. The Colts now will need to look outside the organization for a new kicker since they don't currently employ one on the practice squad. Shrader's season ends with him making 13 of 14 field-goal attempts and all 14 extra-point tries.

Spencer Shrader K | IND
Colts' Spencer Shrader: Suffers season-ending knee injury
Shrader is believed to have suffered a season-ending knee injury in Sunday's win over the Raiders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Shrader was injured on an extra-point attempt when a Las Vegas player collided with his right knee, and he's believed to have suffered multiple torn ligaments, per Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star. The Colts now will be in the market for a new kicker. If Shrader's season is indeed over, he'll finish the 2025 campaign having made 13 of 14 field-goal tries and all 14 of his extra-point attempts.

Andres Borregales K | NE
Patriots' Andy Borregales: Drills game winner in Buffalo
Borregales went 3-for-3 on field-goal tries, including a 52-yard game winner in the final minute, and 2-for-2 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills.
The kicker hit the decisive field goal right down the middle with more than enough distance to spare. He also made a 30-yarder and a 19-yarder in the first half, both of which proved decisive as well. The sixth-round draft pick missed a field goal in Week 1 and two extra points in Week 2, but he has been perfect since.

Matt Prater K | BUF
Bills' Matt Prater: Perfect again
Prater made both of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots.
The kicker made a 31-yarder early in the game and a 45-yarder in the fourth to briefly tie it up. Prater is now 10-for-11 on field-goal tries and 15-for-15 on extra-point attempts in 2025, and he has made every kick in four of five games this season. With Tyler Bass (left hip/groin) still on IR for the moment, the Bills' high-scoring kicking job belongs to Prater, who has also made a strong case to keep it.

Evan McPherson K | CIN
Bengals' Evan McPherson: Makes every kick in loss
McPherson hit his only field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the Lions.
The kicker made a 50-yard field goal to put Cincinnati on the board at the end of the first half. McPherson is now 5-for-5 on field goals and 10-for-10 on extra points in 2025, though his opportunities have been limited with an offense that lost its quarterback, Joe Burrow (toe), in Week 2.

Jude McAtamney K | NYG
Giants' Jude McAtamney: Limited opportunities in loss
McAtamney made both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Saints.
The kicker was limited by a Giants offense that struggled after scoring on its first two drives. McAtamney is now 2-for-2 on field goals and 3-for-3 on extra points since replacing the injured Graham Gano (groin). Gano may take his job back once he's ready to return, but McAtamney can continue to make his case for this job, or another, if he gets a third chance with New York on Thursday night against Philadelphia.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Broncos' Wil Lutz: Drills 55-yarder in win
Lutz connected on both field-goal tries and his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Eagles.
The kicker nailed a 55-yarder to open the scoring in the first quarter, and he added a 36-yarder to solidify the Denver lead late in the fourth. Lutz, who hit 88 percent of his field goals in 2023 and 91 percent last year, is off to a good start again in 2025, going 6-for-7 on field-goal tries and 13-for-13 on extra-point attempts so far. If Denver's offense improves, his accuracy should become a real asset in fantasy football.

Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Misses long kick Sunday
Carlson went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts in Sunday's 40-6 loss to the Colts.
The kicker missed wide right on a 57-yard attempt as time expired in the first half, though he did make field goals from 24 and 37 yards, respectively. Carlson is now 9-for-12 on field-goal tries and a perfect 6-for-6 on extra points this season. Between the misses and a Raiders offense that has yet to score more than 24 points this year, Carlson is not one of the better kicking options in fantasy football at the moment.
