Ryan Fitzgerald K | CAR
Panthers' Ryan Fitzgerald: Perfect in win
Fitzgerald went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-24 win over Miami.
Fitzgerald made a 35-yard field goal as time expired in the first half before later connecting on a 49-yarder to finish off the team's first possession of the third quarter. The kicker has now gone 7-for-8 on field-goal tries, including 1-for-2 from 50-plus yards, while making nine of 10 extra-point attempts over five games this season.

Titans' Joey Slye: Hits every field goal Sunday
Slye went 3-for-3 on field goals and 1-for-2 on extra points in Sunday's 22-21 win over the Cardinals.
Slye made field goals from 44, 51 and 29 yards, respectively. The kicker connected on just 2-of-6 field-goal attempts in the previous two games. At the moment, he's a somewhat unreliable kicker on a low-scoring team.

Blake Grupe K | NO
Saints' Blake Grupe: Makes four field goals in win
Grupe went 4-for-6 on field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Giants.
Grupe made field goals from 28, 53, 29 and 28 yards in the victory, but he also missed a 52-yard attempt and a 46-yarder as well. The kicker has now gone 10-for-15 on field-goal tries, including 3-for-5 from 50-plus yards, while making all eight of his PATs over five games this year.

Chase McLaughlin K | TB
Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Makes every kick Sunday
McLaughlin hit all three field-goal tries and all three extra-point attempts in Sunday's 38-35 win over the Seahawks.
The kicker made all three of his field-goal attempts from between 30 and 39 yards. McLaughlin missed a field goal in each of the first three games of the season and an extra point in Week 1, though he has not missed now in two weeks. With the high-scoring Bucs, he should see plenty of opportunities moving forward.

Ka'imi Fairbairn K | HOU
Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Perfect with ample opportunities
Fairbairn made all three field-goal attempts and all five extra-point tries in Sunday's 44-10 win over the Ravens.
Two of Fairbairn's field goals came from 50 or more yards, while the other was good from 34. The kicker is now 11-for-13 on field goals and 9-for-9 on extra points in 2025. If the Texans' offense can keep it going two weeks from now against Seattle, Fairbairn is a viable fantasy option.

Spencer Shrader K | IND
Colts' Spencer Shrader: Unlikely to return with knee injury
Shrader is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders due to a right knee injury, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis report.
Shrader suffered the injury on an extra-point attempt in the second quarter, when Tristin McCollum ran into his right knee. Shrader was slow to walk off the field, and the Colts will seemingly be without a place kicker for the rest of the game, which would necessitate the offense to go for two-point conversions for the rest of Sunday's game.

Andre Szmyt K | CLE
Browns' Andre Szmyt: Perfect day in London
Szmyt made his lone field-goal try and both of his extra-point attempts during the Browns' 21-17 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Szmyt connected on a 31-yard chip shot late in the second quarter to give the Browns a 10-7 lead heading into halftime. The rookie kicker has attempted three kicks or less in each of the last four games due to Cleveland's offense struggling to move the ball down the field. Szmyt has gone 6-for-8 on field-goal attempts and 7-for-8 on extra-point tries through the first five games of the regular season.

Will Reichard K | MIN
Vikings' Will Reichard: Misses lone field goal
Reichard missed his lone field-goal attempt and made all three of his extra-point tries during the Vikings' 21-17 win over the Browns. His field-goal miss may have been due to the ball hitting a camera wire, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Reichard had a chance to tie the game at 17-17 early in the fourth quarter, but his field-goal try from 51 yards out sailed sharply wide right. If it had been ruled to hit the wire, he would have been allowed another attempt. It was Reichard's first missed field goal of the season, and through five games the second-year kicker has gone 8-for-9 on field-goal attempts and 11-for-11 on extra-point tries.

Jude McAtamney K | NYG
Giants' Jude McAtamney: Elevated from practice squad
The Giants elevated McAtamney from the practice squad Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
With Graham Gano (groin) still sidelined, McAtamney will once again handle kicking duties for the G-Men in Week 5 against New Orleans. In his season debut last week, McAtamney converted both of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try against the Chargers.

Chase McLaughlin K | TB
Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: On injury report, no designation
McLaughlin has been added to the Buccaneers' Week 5 injury report Saturday with an illness, but doesn't carry an injury designation.
McLaughlin is the only kicker on the Buccaneers' active roster, and considering that he wasn't given an injury designation, at this stage it doesn't appear as though his status for Sunday's game against the Seahawks will be impacted. Through four contests to date, McLaughlin has made nine of his 12 field-goal attempts and eight of his nine extra-point tries for a total of 35 points in that span.
