Younghoe Koo K | NYG
Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Misses three kicks in rough outing
Koo missed three of four field-goal attempts but made both extra-point tries during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.
Koo's first field goal missed wide left from 53 yards out and his last attempt from 46 yards hit the right upright. He's now 3-for-9 from beyond 40 yards over his last six games. Koo also had a 35-yarder blocked Sunday. The veteran kicker has certainly had some heroics in his career, including a career-long 58-yard, game-winning field goal against the Saints in Week 4, but he's currently in a funk after missing three field goals in a three-point loss to a divisional foe.

Jake Moody K | CHI
49ers' Jake Moody: Innaccurate in return
Moody (ankle) went 3-for-6 on field-goal attempts while converting both of his point-after tries in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.
Moody returned from an ankle injury that cost him three weeks of game action, but the results were mixed upon returning Sunday. The 2023 third-round pick wound up missing three field-goal attempts (44, 49 and 50 yards) before nailing his sixth and final attempt for the win. Moody went 13-for-14 on FGA in five games prior to getting injured, so perhaps Sunday's poor showing was simply the kicker shaking off the rust from a long layoff. Barring a rash roster move, Moody should remain kicking for San Francisco in a crucial matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday.

Jake Bates K | DET
Lions' Jake Bates: Nails clutch kicks in win
Bates went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Texans.
Bates was limited to two PATs entering the fourth quarter, but that's when he left his mark in Week 10. The 25-year-old nailed a 58-yard field goal with 5:06 left in the game, tying it up at 23-23. He later walked it off with a game-winning 52-yarder as time expired. Through nine games in 2024, Bates is a perfect 14-for-14 on field-goal tries, including three makes from 50-plus, while also going 32-for-33 on PATs.

Chris Boswell K | PIT
Steelers' Chris Boswell: Perfect on extra-point tries
Boswell didn't have any field-goal attempts but converted all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders.
Boswell didn't record a field-goal attempt for the first time this season, but he matched his season-high mark of four extra-point tries as the Steelers' offense found success following the Week 9 bye. The 33-year-old has still been one of the most efficient kickers in the league over the first half of the season, converting 23 of 24 field-goal attempts while making all 20 of his extra-point tries.

Brandon Aubrey K | DAL
Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Supplies only points in rout
Aubrey connected on both his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Eagles.
It was a brutal day for the Dallas offense without Dak Prescott (hamstring) under center, and Aubrey produced the team's only points with a couple of first-half FGs, the longest of which went for 46 yards. Prescott could be headed for season-ending surgery, so Aubrey's ceiling suddenly looks a lot lower ahead of a Week 11 tilt against the Texans, and potentially for the rest of 2024.

Jake Elliott K | PHI
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Perfect in blowout win
Elliott converted on both of his two field-goal attempts and made all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 34-6 win at Dallas.
Elliott's longest field-goal attempt in Week 10 came from 39 yards out early in the fourth quarter to put the Eagles up 31-6. He's been automatic on short kicks this season and gets plenty of chances with one of the league's top offensive units, so he projects as a solid fantasy play when Philadelphia hosts the Commanders in Week 11.

Nick Folk K | NYJ
Titans' Nick Folk: Misses first kick of season
Folk converted one of his two field-goal tries and made both of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 27-17 loss against the Chargers.
Folk had made all 11 of his field-goal tries in his first eight games of the season, but he pushed a 49-yard attempt wide right in the second quarter of Sunday's contest. Unless Tennessee turns things around in a major way offensively during the home stretch of the year, Folk doesn't figure to be the most reliable fantasy option over that span.

Cam Little K | JAC
Jaguars' Cam Little: Quiet in low-scoring affair
Little did not record any field-goal tries but made his only extra-point attempt during Sunday's 12-7 loss versus the Vikings.
For the second straight week, Little was held without a field-goal attempt in Week 10. The Jaguars' offense was already struggling with Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) under center, and things certainly didn't improve with Mac Jones at the helm Sunday. It's probably safe to leave Little on waivers in most formats for Jacksonville's game at Detroit in Week 11.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Broncos' Wil Lutz: Potential game-winner blocked
Lutz did not convert on either of his two field-goal tries but made both of his two extra-point attempts during Sunday's 16-14 loss at Kansas City.
In a game decided by just two points, Lutz converting on just one of his field-goal attempts could have made the difference. It's hard to pin too much blame on him though, as his 60-yard try at the end of the half came up just short, and what would have been a game-winning 35-yarder as time expired was blocked by Leo Chenal. He'll be looking to bounce back in Week 11 versus the Falcons.

Cameron Dicker K | LAC
Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Steady in win
Dicker converted both of his two field-goal tries and made all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 27-17 win versus the Titans.
Dicker's farthest kick Sunday came from 37 yards out, just a bit longer than an extra point, so he wasn't necessarily put to the test in Week 10. It was nonetheless a positive development for him, as he had missed kicks in each of his two games prior. He'll be kicking in a dome again in Week 11 versus the Bengals.
