  • Commanders' Zane Gonzalez: Signs to active roster

    The Commanders signed Gonzalez to their active roster Monday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    The 29-year-old was elevated to the Commanders' active roster to kick in three of their last four games, with Austin Seibert sidelined due to groin and hip injuries. Seibert was placed on injured reserve Nov. 26 and is eligible to return for Washington's Week 18 matchup against the Cowboys at the earliest. Gonzalez's signing Monday suggests he'll remain the Commanders' kicker until Seibert is back from injury. Gonzalez struggled in Washington's blowout win over the Titans on Sunday, missing both of his field-goal attempts. However, he's converted all 10 of his extra-point tries over three games and has the support of head coach Dan Quinn, who said he's "pleased with what they've seen over the last month" regarding Gonzalez's performance.

  • Jake Moody K | CHI

    49ers' Jake Moody: Struggles in snow storm

    Moody went 1-for-3 on field-goal attempts while hitting his only point-after try in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Bills.

    Moody missed multiple attempts for the second time in four weeks, shanking kicks from 45 and 55 yards out. The kicker's last blunder-filled outing came in calm conditions, but a harsh snow storm in Buffalo was likely the culprit this time around. The sophomore has missed just one FGA in his seven other active games this season, leading to a decent 76 percent make rate through nine total contests. Moody should resume his consistent play with a pair of home tilts on tap in sunny Santa Clara, CA, starting with the Bears this coming Sunday.

  • Joshua Karty K | LAR

    Rams' Joshua Karty: Quiet day in victory

    Karty connected on all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 21-14 win against the Saints.

    The rookie's grasp on the Rams' kicking role had weakened after a multi-week slump, and while his performance on Sunday didn't do much to move the needle towards restoring that confidence, a misfire on any of his three extra-point attempts would have been the fourth straight week that Karty would've recorded a missed kick. A tough matchup with the Bills in Week 14 will be Karty's next opportunity to produce.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Makes three field goals in win

    Boswell made three of four field-goal attempts while converting all five of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 44-38 win over the Bengals.

    Boswell has now missed kicks in back-to-back weeks, but Sunday's miss against Cincinnati came on a blocked kick early in the third quarter. However, the 33-year-old still saw plenty of work in Pittsburgh's high-scoring win, and he's now converted 34 of 37 field-goal attempts while making all 26 of his extra-point tries this season.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Reliable in road win

    Elliott made his only field-goal try and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 24-19 win at Baltimore.

    Elliott's only field goal of the day, which put the Eagles ahead 24-12 late in the fourth quarter, was a 35-yarder, only a bit longer than an extra point. He still hasn't missed a field goal from within 39 yards this season and profiles as a relatively safe fantasy option when Philadelphia hosts the Panthers' weak defense in Week 14.

  • Cam Little K | JAC

    Jaguars' Cam Little: Knocks two field goals in loss

    Little made two of his three field-goal tries during Sunday's 23-20 loss versus the Texans.

    Little did not get to kick any extra-point attempts in Week 13, as Jacksonville's first touchdown of the day in the fourth quarter only cut Houston's lead to 23-12. His miss came from 55 yards out earlier in the fourth quarter, and both of his made field goals Sunday were short kicks. He doesn't profile as a great fantasy option heading into a Week 14 matchup at Tennessee.

  • Jets' Anders Carlson: Minimal volume in loss

    Carlson didn't attempt a field goal and made one of two PAT attempts in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks.

    Carlson's PAT attempt was blocked after the Jets' first touchdown, so the Jets went for two after one of their other two scores. He also recovered a fumble by Seahawks kickoff return man Laviska Shenault. Greg Zuerlein (knee) is eligible to come off IR in Week 14 against the Dolphins, but if the veteran isn't ready to return, then Carlson would continue to kick for the Jets.

  • Packers' Brandon McManus: Perfect in Week 13

    McManus made all three of his field-goal tries and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during Thursday's 30-17 win versus the Dolphins.

    McManus' first field goal of the day was a 46-yarder with time expiring in the first half to give Green Bay a 24-3 lead. He has now gone three straight games without a missed kick and will be trying to keep that streak alive when the Packers travel to take on Detroit's resilient defense in Week 14.

  • Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Reliable vs. division rival

    Aubrey made both of his two field-goal tries and all three of his extra-point attempts during Thursday's 27-20 win versus the Giants.

    Aubrey's longest field goal in Week 13 came from 33 yards out, the same length as an extra point. Even so, he appears to be back in rhythm after missing kicks in each of Dallas' prior two games. He'll be looking to keep it going when the Cowboys play host to the Bengals' dodgy defense in Week 14.

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Misses only field-goal try Sunday

    Bass missed his only field-goal attempt but made all five of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 35-10 win versus the 49ers.

    Over a backdrop of freezing temperatures and swirling snow, field goals proved to be a relatively unappealing option Sunday. Bass missed his only attempt, a 49-yarder, in the fourth quarter with the game already well in hand for Buffalo. He'll be kicking indoors in Week 14 against the Rams.
