Matt Prater K | BUF
Bills' Matt Prater: Imperfect in Week 9
Prater missed his only field-goal try and went 4-for-4 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 28-21 win over the Chiefs.
Prater was unable to extend Buffalo's lead to two scores late in the fourth quarter, hitting the right upright on a 52-yard field-goal try with 27 seconds left in regulation. The kicker hadn't missed a field-goal attempt since Week 3 prior to Sunday's miscue. On the year, the 41-year-old has now gone 12-for-14 on field-goal tries, including 1-for-3 from 50-plus yards, while making 25 of 26 PATs over eight games.

Broncos' Wil Lutz: Converts game-winning kick
Lutz went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made his only PAT in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Texans.
Lutz had a 51-yard field-goal try blocked in the first quarter, but he was able to get his revenge later, delivering the Broncos a victory with a 34-yard field goal as time expired in regulation. The kicker has now gone 11-for-13 on field-goal tries, including 2-for-4 from 50-plus yards, while making all 22 of his extra-point attempts over nine games this season.

Ernest Jones LB | SEA
Seahawks' Ernest Jones: Done for night
Jones (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday night's contest against the Commanders.
Jones is dealing with an apparent knee injury, which he likely suffered in the first half, and he'll now be forced to take a seat until the conclusion of Sunday Night Football. In his absence, Tyrice Knight and Chazz Surratt are candidates to step into larger roles at interior linebacker versus Washington.

Joshua Karty K | LAR
Rams' Joshua Karty: Underwhelming in Week 9
Karty missed his only field-goal attempt and went 4-for-5 on PATs in Sunday's 34-10 win over New Orleans.
Karty pushed an extra-point try wide left in the second quarter before missing a 39-yard field-goal attempt wide right later in the quarter. The kicker has now gone a disappointing 10-for-15 on field-goal tries, including 1-for-2 from 50-plus yards, while converting 23 of 26 PATs over eight games this season.

Travis Kelce TE | KC
Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Gains 66 yards Sunday
Kelce finished with four receptions on five targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 28-21 loss to Buffalo.
Kelce finished right around the single-game averages of 4.6 receptions and 59.3 yards that he entered Sunday's contest with, highlighting the consistent production the aging superstar has provided in fantasy this season. The 35-year-old enters Kansas City's Week 10 bye with a solid 41-540-3 receiving line through nine starts, putting him on pace to finish with his first 1,000-yard campaign since 2022. It is worth noting that Kelce was evaluated for a concussion at halftime, but he was cleared for the second half and finished without any reported setbacks. Kelce and the Chiefs will attempt to get back into the win column in a road tilt against the Broncos on Nov. 16.

Blake Grupe K | NO
Saints' Blake Grupe: Limited workload in Week 9
Grupe made his only field-goal attempt and PAT in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Rams.
Grupe was limited to just one field-goal try for the third week in a row, connecting on a 39-yarder in the second quarter. The kicker now has gone 16-for-22 on field-goal tries, including 3-for-6 from 50-plus yards, while making all 12 of his extra-point attempts over nine games this year.

John Parker Romo K | ATL
Falcons' Parker Romo: Untimely miss in loss
Romo made his only field-goal attempt and went 2-for-3 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots.
Romo connected on a 38-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter before he later pushed an extra-point attempt wide right with 4:40 remaining in regulation, leaving the Falcons down by one point. The kicker has been inconsistent through seven contests with Atlanta this year, missing kicks in three separates games. Romo has now gone 11-for-14 on field-goal tries, including 1-for-2 from 50-plus yards, while making 10 of 11 PATs this season.

Ashton Jeanty RB | LV
Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Bounces back out of bye week
Jeanty took 13 carries for 42 yards while corralling all five of his targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-29 overtime loss to Jacksonville.
Jeanty used the Raiders' bye week to rebound nicely from his worst game as a pro against Kansas City in Week 7, nabbing his third touchdown reception of the year in Sunday's narrow defeat. The Boise State product still finished with a per-carry average below four yards for the third consecutive contest running behind Las Vegas' shoddy offensive line, but his contributions as a receiver balanced out a nice fantasy score in the end. Jeanty will have to work for another strong outing in Week 10 against Denver's top-10 rush defense on Thursday Night Football.

Quentin Johnston WR | LAC
Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Gets back on track
Johnston recorded four receptions on five targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.
Johnston bounced back from a zero-target performance in Week 8, thanks primarily to 23- and 19-yard receptions -- the latter of which went for a touchdown. Most importantly, he seemed to regain his role in the Chargers' offense, matching Keenan Allen and Oronde Gadsden in targets. Overall, Johnston logged his highest yardage total since Week 4 and is likely to remain a volatile fantasy performer, though he has a touchdown in five of eight games this season

Seahawks' Josh Jobe: Suffers concussion during SNF
Jobe (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday night's contest against the Commanders.
Jobe sustained a concussion in the second quarter of the game, and he will now be sidelined until the conclusion of the game. In his absence, Nehemiah Pritchett stands to see an uptick in usage at cornerback versus Washington.
