  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Chad Ryland K | ARI

    Cardinals' Chad Ryland: Solid in runaway win

    Ryland converted his only field-goal try and made all four of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 31-6 win versus the Jets.

    Ryland's only field goal came from just 37 yards out as time expired in the first half, so nothing especially difficult was asked of him in Week 10. With that said, he now hasn't missed a kick since Week 5 and projects as a solid fantasy option for the home stretch of the season after the Cardinals' bye in Week 11.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Rebounds in loss

    Fairbairn connected on three of four field-goal attempts and nailed both extra-point kicks in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions in Week 10.

    Fairbairn, who missed a pair of field-goal tries in a Week 9 loss to Jets, rebounded with an 11-point effort, his seventh double-digit week in 10 games. His lone miss was wide left on a 56-yard attempt late in the game, which gave possession to the Lions near midfield and set up their game-winning field goal with no time left on the clock. Despite the miss, it's hard to pin this loss on Fairbairn; all finger-pointing should be directed at the defense and offense. Houston owned a 23-7 halftime lead but failed to build on that advantage and allowed Detroit to score on its final three possessions.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Scores three points in defeat

    Santos converted his lone field-goal attempt in the Bears' 19-3 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

    Santos has connected on one or fewer field goals in six of Chicago's last seven games. Unless the Bears are able to make drastic improvements on offense, Santos will remain a low-floor fantasy option.

  • Blake Grupe K | NO

    Saints' Blake Grupe: Nails both FGs in Week 10

    Grupe went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries during Sunday's 20-17 victory against the Falcons.

    Grupe put the Saints on the board with a 38-yard field goal in the second quarter, and he scored the team's final three points with a 26-yarder in the third quarter. The second-year kicker has missed just one of his 19 field-goal attempts through the first 10 games of the season. Lately New Orleans' offense has not been nearly as hot as it was to start the year, but Grupe's surefire efficiency makes him a reliable backup option or waiver-wire pickup in fantasy leagues. He'll look to remain accurate during next week's home game versus the Browns on Sunday, Nov. 17.

  • Vikings' John Parker Romo: Goes perfect in debut

    Romo made all four of his field-goal attempts during the Vikings' 12-7 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Romo had a productive outing in his regular-season debut as he scored all 12 of Minnesota's points. His longest kick was a 45-yard field goal, and he will likely serve as the team's starting kicker for another three games as Will Reichard (quadricep) remains on injured reserve.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Makes three field goals vs. Denver

    Butker made all three of his field-goal attempts and connected on his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 14-13 win over the Broncos.

    All of Butker's field-goal attempts Sunday came from under 40 yards, with his longest being a 36-yard field goal in the second quarter. He connected on a 28-yard field goal in the third quarter and hit the eventual game winner from 20 yards out late in the fourth quarter. Through nine regular-season games, Butker has gone 18-for-20 on field-goal attempts and 21-for-22 on extra-point tries. He'll look to add to his total in what should be a high-scoring affair in Week 11 against the Bills on Sunday, Nov. 17.

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Makes three field goals Sunday

    Bass converted on all three of his field-goal tries and all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 30-20 win over the Colts.

    Bass has now been perfect on his field-goal attempts across the team's last three games after struggling earlier in the season. He has now gone 15-for-18 on field-goal attempts and 27-for-30 on extra-point attempts across nine games this season.

  • Matt Gay K | WAS

    Colts' Matt Gay: Makes two field goals Sunday

    Gay made both of his field-goal tries and both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's Week 10 loss to Buffalo.

    Gay wasn't really challenged, as his field goals came from 27 and 23 yards, respectively, but he nonetheless did his job in making all four of his kicks. The veteran placekicker has made multiple field goals in each of his past seven contests, giving him a solid floor in fantasy leagues. However, he's gone just 2-for-5 on attempts of 50-plus yards this year after making 15 of 22 tries from that distance across the previous two campaigns.
