  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Supplies all nine points Monday

    Carlson went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts during Monday's 20-9 loss to the Chargers.

    The Raiders' offense was limited to just 218 total net yards in Monday's loss, but Carlson put the team on the board with field goals from 54, 40 and 37 yards. The veteran kicker has started the season 5-for-6 on field-goal tries and 2-for-2 on PATs. Next up for the Raiders is a tough road game against the Commanders on Sunday.

  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Connects on all four kicks

    Dicker made both of his field-goal attempts and went 2-for-2 on extra-point tries during the Chargers' 20-9 win over the Raiders on Monday.

    All four of Dicker's kicks came from within 40 yards, with his 38-yard try early in the first quarter being his longest kick. He hasn't attempted a field goal more than 40 yards, but his distance has never been an issue as he went 16-for-20 across the 2023 and 2024 regular seasons. Dicker's leg will be needed in the Chargers' Week 3 contest against a Broncos defense that yielded five field goals to Spencer Shrader across the Colts' seven offensive scoring drives in Week 2.

  • Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Misses another kick in Week 2

    McLaughlin missed his only field-goal attempt and made two PATs in Monday's 20-19 win over the Texans.

    McLaughlin once again connected with the upright in Week 2, missing a 38-yard field goal in the third quarter. The kicker has now missed two field goals and one extra-point try over the first two games of the year, and he'll look to get back on track in the team's Week 3 matchup with the Jets on Sunday.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Connects on two FGAs in Week 2

    Fairbairn went 2-for-2 on field-goal tries and made one PAT in Monday's 20-19 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Fairbairn made a 35-yard field goal in the first quarter before later adding a 53-yard make in the fourth. The kicker has now opened the season having gone 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts, including three makes from 50-plus yards, over two games.

  • Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Reverts to practice squad

    Patterson reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday.

    Patterson is filling in as the team's kicker due to Jason Sanders being on injured reserve with a hip injury. Patterson has made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries so far this season, and he'll likely be elevated once again ahead of the team's Week 3 matchup versus the Bills on Thursday night.

  • Vikings' Will Reichard: Scores team's only points Week 2

    Reichard made both of his field-goal attempts and didn't try any extra points in Sunday's 22-6 loss to Atlanta.

    Minnesota didn't have much to celebrate on a day when its offense struggled mightily, but Reichard at least kept the team from getting shut out by nailing both of his field-goal tries. The first was a chip-shot 33-yarder in the second quarter, while the second was a more challenging 51-yarder with time expiring just before halftime. Reichard has begun the season a perfect 4-for-4 on field-goal tries through two games, with two of his makes coming from over 50 yards.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Misses field goal in Week 2

    Butker went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Eagles.

    Butker missed a 58-yard field goal wide right in the first quarter before later connecting on a 56-yarder to finish off the team's first possession of the second quarter. The kicker's miss proved to be the difference in the contest, though it's hard to pin the blame on him considering the distance. Butker has now converted four of five field goals, two of which were from 50-plus yards, and made two out of three PATs over the first two games in 2025.

  • Bengals' Evan McPherson: Connects on all five kicks

    McPherson made his lone field-goal attempt and went 4-for-4 on extra-point tries during the Bengals' 31-27 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    All of McPherson's kicks came from within 35 yards, with his lone field goal coming from 31 yards out in the second quarter to cut the Bengals' deficit to four points. McPherson went just 16-for-22 on his field-goal attempts during the 2024 regular season, but he has converted on all eight of his kick attempts through the first two games of the 2025 campaign. However, his fantasy floor could be impacted, considering Jake Browning is set to take over as the Bengals' starting quarterback since Joe Burrow is expected to miss a minimum of three months while recovering from surgery on his toe turf injury, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

  • Patriots' Andres Borregales: Overcomes early blunders

    Borregales went 1-for-3 on extra-point attempts but made both of his field-goal tries during the Patriots' 33-27 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Borregales got off to a dreadful start by missing his first two extra-point tries. However the rookie sixth-rounder was able to rebound with a 22-yard chip shot before connecting on a 53-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter to give the Patriots a six-point lead. Borregales has missed three kicks to start the season and will look for more consistent results in Week 3 against the Steelers on Sunday.

    Browns' Andre Szmyt: Bounces back against Ravens

    Szmyt made his only field-goal attempt and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Ravens.

    Szmyt had a few high-profile misses in Week 1 that cost the Browns a chance at victory. The stakes were lower in Sunday's blowout loss, but he did manage to convert a 38-yard field goal attempt late in the second quarter. Szmyt will need to continue proving himself, but he showed improvement in Week 2.
