    Titans' Nick Folk: Shows range in win

    Folk made all three of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 32-27 win over the Texans.

    Folk played a key role in the Titans' upset victory and showed impressive range by making a pair of field goals from 51 yards away and an additional 56-yard kick. He's missed only one of his 18 field-goal attempts this season, highlighted by a perfect record on six opportunities from 50 yards or longer. Folk has now also made multiple field goals in three of his last four games after doing so just once in his first seven contests.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Held back by tepid offense

    Gano did not attempt any field goals and made his only extra-point try in Sunday's 30-7 Week 12 loss to Tampa Bay.

    In New York's first game this season with Tommy DeVito as the starter at quarterback, the team was unable to put up any points until early in the fourth quarter. Gano followed that Devin Singletary touchdown plunge with a successful extra point, but it was the only time he had a chance to kick for points in the game. Since returning from injured reserve Week 10, Gano has attempted only two field goals (making one) over two games. DeVito figures to remain under center moving forward, and the state of the Giants' offense as a whole gives Gano a low floor and ceiling when looking ahead to the remainder of the campaign.

  • Jake Bates K | DET

    Lions' Jake Bates: Makes only field goal in Week 12

    Bates made his only field-goal try and went 3-for-3 on PATs in Sunday's 24-6 win over the Colts.

    Bates was able to nail a 56-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, his only attempt of the day. The kicker has now been limited to just one field-goal try in five of the last six games, but he's hit at least three PATs in six of the last seven contests. Bates remains a perfect 16-for-16 on field-goal attempts heading into Week 13 versus the Bears.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Another seven-point performance

    Santos converted two of three field-goal attempts in the Bears' 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

    For the second week in a row, Santos had a field goal blocked. Otherwise, Santos remains one of the most accurate kickers in the NFL. However, the veteran has surpassed seven points just twice, making him a low-ceiling fantasy lineup option.

  • Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Drills five kicks in Week 12

    Pineiro converted on all four of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.

    Pineiro has now made 16 of his 17 field-goal tries on the season, with his lone miss occurring in the Week 5 loss to the Bears. The 29-year-old has also remained perfect on extra points through 12 weeks, converting on all 18 of his attempts. Pineiro's next opportunity to score for the Panthers will come in Week 13, when the Buccaneers visit Carolina.

  • Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Cleared to kick Sunday

    Pineiro (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Carolina had listed Pineiro as questionable after he was limited in practice Thursday due to the left knee injury before sitting out Friday's session entirely, but the team's decision not to add another kicker to the roster before Saturday's deadline for Week 12 transactions suggested his availability was never in any real jeopardy. Though he's the most accurate kicker in NFL history with a career 89.4 percent success rate on field-goal attempts, Pineiro remains a low-end fantasy option while his scoring opportunities are limited due to being attached to a poor Carolina offense.

  • Commanders' Austin Seibert: Will return to action Week 12

    Seibert (right hip) was removed from the Commanders' injury report Saturday and is expected to play in Sunday's game versus Dallas.

    Seibert will thus make his return Sunday following a two-game absence due to a hip injury. The veteran kicker has been very productive when active this season -- he still ranks third in the league in total points scored (97) despite playing in only eight contests so far. With Seibert's return, Zane Gonzalez appears set to remain on Washington's practice squad after working as the team's placekicker each of the past two weeks.

  • Commanders' Austin Seibert: Questionable, but 'trending' toward return

    Seibert (right hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Seibert has missed back-to-back games due to a right hip injury, but after opening Week 12 prep with a pair of limited practices, he got back to full participation Friday, indicating a return to action is on the horizon. Coach Dan Quinn intimated as much Friday, telling Ben Standig of The Athletic that Seibert is "trending" toward resuming kicking duties for the Commanders this weekend. There's a chance the team still elevates Zane Gonzalez from the practice squad Saturday, but if that doesn't happen, there's little doubt Seibert will be active about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Expected to kick Sunday

    Pineiro (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, but coach Dave Canales said Friday that he thinks Pineiro will be able to play, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Pineiro was injured while celebrating his 36-yard, game-winning field goal in overtime two weeks ago against the Giants in Germany. On the season, Pineiro has made 12 of 13 field-goal attempts and all 17 of his extra-point tries.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Makes two field goals in loss

    Boswell converted two of three field-goal attempts while making his lone extra-point try during Thursday's 24-19 loss to the Browns.

    Boswell missed a 58-yard field-goal attempt wide right to close out the Steelers' first drive of the game Thursday, marking just the second time he's missed a kick this season. However, he was perfect on his next three kicks, including a field-goal attempt and an extra-point try that came in snowy conditions. Despite Thursday's miss, the 33-year-old has still been one of the most accurate kickers in the league to begin the year, converting 31 of 33 field-goal attempts while making all 21 of his extra-point tries.
