  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Back on form

    Fairbairn converted three of three field-goal attempts and two of two extra-point kicks in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Jaguars in Week 13.

    One week after missing a field goal that cost the Texans, Fairbairn was back to his normal self. He twice bailed out the offense, which scored one touchdown in three red-zone trips. Fairbairn also added another one from long distance, a 53-yarder early in the second quarter to open the game's scoring. He ranks second in the league among kickers with 122 points behind the Steelers' Chris Boswell (128).

  • Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Rough outing in loss

    Pineiro converted on three of his five field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Buccaneers.

    Pineiro hadn't missed a kick since the Panthers' Week 5 loss to the Bears before missing field goals of 38 and 45 yards in the first half of Sunday's overtime loss. The third-year Panther has now converted on 86.4 percent of his field-goal attempts (19 of 22) this season while remaining perfect on point-after tries (20 of 20). He'll look to bounce back from a poor Week 13 performance next Sunday when the Eagles host the Panthers.

  • Vikings' John Parker Romo: Converts three field goals in win

    Romo went 3-for-4 on field-goal tries while making both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 23-22 win over the Cardinals.

    Romo converted from 44 yards, 55 yards and 31 yards in the victory, with his lone miss coming in the third quarter on a 43-yard try. The kicker has now made 11 out of 12 field-goal attempts since taking over as the team's kicker in Week 10 against the Jaguars. With Will Reichard (quadricep) eligible to return from injured reserve in Week 14, it's unclear if Romo will remain on the active roster for at least one more game.

  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Hits three field goals in win

    Dicker made all three of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Falcons.

    Dicker made three field goals in the first half, connecting from 45 yards, 51 yards and 34 yards against Atlanta. The kicker has now converted at least two field goals in seven of the last eight games, becoming a rather consistent fantasy asset. Dicker has now gone 27-for-29 on field-goal tries while making 21 of 24 extra-point attempts in 2024.

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Patriots' Joey Slye: Misses two FGAs in loss

    Slye went 3-for-5 on field-goal tries while making his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Colts.

    Slye began his day with three straight field-goal makes from 35 yards, 31 yards and 54 yards versus Indianapolis. He then missed a chip-shot 25-yarder on the team's final possession of the first half before later missing a nearly impossible 68-yard attempt to end the game. The kicker has now made 22 of 28 field-goal tries while going 17-for-18 on PATs in 2024.

  • Chad Ryland K | ARI

    Cardinals' Chad Ryland: Season-high point tally Sunday

    Ryland connected on five of six field-goal attempts and his sole point-after try during Sunday's 23-22 loss at Minnesota.

    The Cardinals offense continually stalled in the red zone, affording Ryland successful FGAs from 32, 31, 24, 40 and 23 yards. His only miss, a 45-yard attempt early in the second quarter, ultimately ended up being the difference in the one-point defeat, but Sunday's 16-point outing marked his most productive of the campaign by a large margin (his previous high in a game was 10 points back in Week 5 at San Francisco). Matt Prater, Arizona's primary kicker, hasn't made any notable progress as he resides on injured reserve due to a left knee injury, so Ryland is lined up to continue in his current role next Sunday against the Seahawks.

  • Matt Gay K | WAS

    Colts' Matt Gay: Makes only field-goal try Sunday

    Gay converted his only field-goal attempt while going 2-for-2 on PATs in Sunday's 25-24 win over the Patriots.

    Gay made a chip-shot 25-yard field goal in the third quarter, giving Indianapolis a 17-16 advantage at that point. It was the first contest since Week 3 that Gay did not make multiple field goals, ending a nine-game streak for the kicker. Gay has now gone 22-for-25 on field-goal tries while making all 22 of his extra-point attempts in 2024.

  • Falcons' Riley Patterson: Inactive for Week 13

    Patterson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Patterson was added to the Falcons' practice squad Friday -- then subsequently elevated to the active roster Saturday -- to provide insurance for Atlanta in case Younghoe Koo wasn't able to play Sunday due to a hip injury. Koo is active for Sunday's contest, so Patterson's services are not needed.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYG

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Good to go

    Koo (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Despite drawing a questionable tag, Koo was expected to suit up Sunday after logging a full practice Friday. After going 2-for-7 on field-goal attempts from Weeks 7-10, Koo bounced back with a perfect outing against Denver in Week 11 before Atlanta's Week 12 bye. It's been a mixed bag for the veteran kicker this season, but the Falcons' improved offense has given Koo more opportunities than in previous seasons.

  • Chiefs' Matthew Wright: Back to practice squad

    Wright reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Wright was the Chiefs' placekicker for Friday's game against the Raiders. He went 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts and converted his lone extra-point try as he paced Kansas City to a 19-17 win over Las Vegas. With Harrison Butker (knee) on injured reserve and Spencer Shrader nursing a hamstring injury, Wright could be the Chiefs' starting kicker for Week 14 against the Chargers on Sunday, Dec. 8.
