  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Perfect in win

    Boswell made all three of his extra-point tries and both of his field-goal attempts in a 27-14 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    Boswell opened the scoring with a 30-yard make in the first quarter, then made a 54-yard field goal to give the Steelers a 13-7 lead going into halftime. The veteran kicker is now 36-for-39 on FGAs this season and remains a perfect 29-for-29 on PATs.

  • Jets' Anders Carlson: Busy in Week 14 loss

    Carlson made all four of his field-goal attempts and both PAT tries in Sunday's 32-26 overtime loss to the Dolphins.

    Carlson's leg strength wasn't tested, as his longest kick was a 42-yard field goal that put the Jets up by three with 52 seconds left in the fourth quarter. He demonstrated strong accuracy, but it was all for naught, as Miami tied it up in the final seconds of regulation before scoring a walk-off touchdown in overtime. Carlson could be busy again in Week 15, giving him fantasy streaming appeal against the 3-10 Jaguars.

    Lions' Jake Bates: Makes winning field goal

    Bates converted all four of his extra-point tries and both of his field-goal attempts in a 34-31 win over the Packers on Thursday.

    Bates came through in the clutch again for the Lions, making a 35-yard attempt as time expired. He also made a 43-yard try early in the second quarter and is now 21-for-22 this season, for a 95 percent conversation rate. Next up for Bates and the Lions is a Week 15 matchup with the Bills.

  • Chad Ryland K | ARI

    Cardinals' Chad Ryland: Misses FG attempt in loss

    Ryland made his only point-after attempt and missed one of two field-goal tries in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Seahawks.

    Ryland was good from 28 yards out but hit the left upright on a 40-yard attempt that could have brought Arizona within six points midway through the fourth quarter. The second-year pro is now 19-for-23 on field-goal attempts this season in nine games, with all four misses coming between 40 and 49 yards. With a Matt Prater (knee) return looming, it's possible Ryland won't be the Cardinals' kicker much longer.

  • Cam Little K | JAC

    Jaguars' Cam Little: Makes chip shot in win

    Little converted his lone field-goal attempt and extra-point try in Sunday's 10-6 win over the Titans.

    Little connected from 23 yards out early in the fourth quarter to get Jacksonville on the scoreboard, and he later made his only PAT attempt after a Tank Bigsby touchdown run. The rookie kicker hasn't had many opportunities this season but has converted 18-20 FGAs overall.

  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Makes lone field-goal attempt

    Dicker connected on both extra-point tries and his only field-goal attempt in a 19-17 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Dicker converted a 37-yard try with a little over four minutes remaining, giving the Chargers a 17-16 lead at the time. The 24-year-old is now 28-for-30 on the season on FGAs and hasn't missed a kick since Week 9.

  • Chiefs' Matthew Wright: Comes through in the clutch

    Wright made all four field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Chargers.

    Wright was perfect, connecting from 47, 33, and 50 yards out, before converting the game-winning 31-yard try as time expired, sealing a win for the Chiefs. The 28-year-old is now 8-for-9 on FGAs in two games with Kansas City this season and could operate as the team's kicker in Week 15 against the Browns if Harrison Butker (knee) isn't ready to return from IR.

  • Vikings' Will Reichard: Misses field goal in win

    Reichard made all six extra-point tries but missed his lone field-goal attempt in a 42-21 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Reichard missed his third field goal of the season when a 47-yard attempt on the Vikings' opening drive of the second half hit the left upright. However, the rookie kicker did remain perfect on PATs and has made all 29 extra-point tries this season.

  • Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Two misses in loss

    Hopkins misfired on both field-goal attempts and converted two extra-point kicks in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Steelers in Week 14.

    Hopkins missed wide left on a 38-yarder just before halftime and wasn't close on a 43-yarder he pushed on the first drive coming out of the break. If converted, those two field goals would have tied the game at 13-13. The Browns were in position to add another field goal in the fourth quarter, but coach Kevin Stefanski opted to punt, down 27-7 at the time, from the Steelers' 39-yard line. Hopkins has missed kicks in four of the last five games, going 3-for-9 during that stretch. There will most certainly be a competition next summer for the placekicking job.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Has clutch field-goal try blocked

    Gano went 1-of-2 on field-goal attempts and didn't try an extra point in a 14-11 loss to New Orleans on Sunday.

    Gano put the Giants on the board with a 43-yard field goal in the second quarter, but he wasn't asked to attempt the extra point when New York scored its lone touchdown late in the fourth, as the team elected to try for a two-point conversion (which they succeeded on). The veteran kicker got the opportunity to tie the game with 11 seconds remaining in regulation with a 35-yard field-goal attempt, but the Saints blocked the kick, resulting in the Giants' eighth consecutive loss. The blocked kick can't be pinned on Gano -- Saints defender Bryan Bresee leaped over New York's offensive line to get his hand on the ball -- but it meant that Gano has made less than two field goals in four of the six contests he's suited up for this season. With the Giants' offense struggling to put up points, Gano isn't an appealing fantasy target in all but the deepest of leagues.
