  • Packers' Brandon McManus: Costly missed field goal in loss

    McManus went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made his only PAT in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers.

    McManus made field goals from 49 and 27 yards in the second quarter before missing a 43-yard attempt wide left at the conclusion of the team's first possession of the second half. The kicker has now gone 4-for-7 on field-goal tries over two games since returning from a quadriceps injury, and on the year he's gone a disappointing 11-for-16 overall through six games. While McManus was sidelined for Week 6 and 7, Lucas Havrisik went 4-for-4 on field-goal tries, including a franchise-record 61-yard make, while making all six of his PATs. It's unclear if the Packers would swap to Havrisik, who's still on the team's active roster.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Makes pair of field goals in loss

    Butker made both of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Bills.

    Butker made multiple field goals for the first time since Week 4, connecting from 46 and 19 yards in the second quarter. The kicker had attempted just two total field goals over the team's last four contests combined entering Week 9. Butker has now gone 14-for-17 on field-goal tries, including 3-for-5 from 50-plus yards, while making 23 of 26 PATs over nine games this year.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Rams' Davante Adams: Another multi-touchdown effort

    Adams recorded five receptions on seven targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Saints.

    Adams made the most of his five receptions, turning in two catches of at least 20 yards while also finding the end zone twice. This marked his second consecutive game with multiple touchdowns and only the third time this season he's reached at least 60 receiving yards. While Adams has been reliant on finding the end zone to maintain his fantasy value, the Rams remain one of the more efficient passing offenses in the league with heavily concentrated targets. He could also be in for additional volume in Week 10 against the 49ers if Puka Nacua (chest) is forced to miss additional time.

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Titans' Joey Slye: Connects on two FGAs in Week 9

    Slye went 2-for-2 on field-goal tries and made both of his PATs in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Chargers.

    Slye was able to get back on track in Week 9, making a 49-yard field goal in the second quarter and a 37-yarder in the fourth. The kicker has now made multiple field goals in six contests this year, and he's connected on 17 of 23 field-goal attempts, including 6-for-9 from 50-plus yards, through eight games overall.

  • Cam Little K | JAC

    Jaguars' Cam Little: Makes history with 68-yard FG

    Little made all three of his field-goal attempts and each of his three point-after tries during the Jaguars' 30-29 overtime win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    It was a nice bounce-back performance for Little, who had missed three of his last four kicks entering Week 9. He put the Jaguars on the board as time expired in the first half with a 68-yard field goal, and in doing so broke the NFL record for the longest made field goal, which was previously held by Justin Tucker (66 yards). It wasn't even Little's longest make of his NFL career, as he connected on a 70-yard field goal during the Jaguars' first preseason contest. The second-year kicker is now 13-for-17 on field-goal attempts and 17-for-18 on extra-point tries through eight regular-season games.

  • Luke McCaffrey WR | WAS

    Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Ruled out for rest of SNF

    McCaffrey (shoulder) won't return to Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    McCaffrey was injured while returning the opening kickoff. He was initially deemed questionable to return but got ruled out shortly thereafter. Deebo Samuel, Chris Moore, Jaylin Lane and Treylon Burks are the four other wide receivers dressed for Washington. Lane or Samuel will likely take over as the kickoff returner.

  • Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Loses showdown with Josh Allen

    Mahomes completed 15 of 34 pass attempts for 250 yards, no touchdowns and one interception while adding five yards on his only carry in Sunday's 28-21 loss to Buffalo.

    Mahomes picked a poor time to have his worst passing performance of the season after being outshined by rival Josh Allen (123.2 QB rating) in a loss that reshaped the landscape atop the AFC. It was Mahomes' first contest in 2025 in which he failed to register a touchdown, and also the first time he finished with a completion rate below 50 percent. Even with Sunday's dud, the 29-year-old heads into the upcoming bye week completing 65 percent of his passes for 2,349 passing yards and 21 total touchdowns through nine starts. Fantasy managers will have to search for a replacement signal-caller in Week 10 before Mahomes returns to action against Denver on Nov. 16.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Hits two field goals in win

    Boswell made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his PATs in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Colts.

    Boswell was able to make multiple field goals for the fifth time this season, connecting on a 25-yard attempt as time expired in the first half before later adding a 46-yarder in the fourth quarter. The kicker has now gone 16-for-18 on field-goal tries while making all 20 of his extra-point attempts over eight games this season.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Totals 17 yards in loss

    Kamara totaled six carries for 14 yards and caught one of three targets for three yards during Sunday's 34-10 defeat to the Rams.

    Kamara was completely stonewalled and had a season low in yards while also tying his season low for carries in a game. Instead, Taysom Hill led the team with 30 rushing yards on four carries. Kamara also fumbled on his final carry of the game in the fourth quarter. The ninth-year running back didn't see an uptick in usage even with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough making his first career start, as the Rams dominated the Saints in time of possession 43:53-16:07. Over the last five games, Kamara has now averaged 8.2 carries for 24.2 yards. He also hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 1. Kamara's production is well below his reputation as a bell-cow back in fantasy, and his lack of explosiveness and limited production will likely continue to limit his output going forward. The Saints next face off with the Panthers in Week 10 on Sunday.

  • Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA

    Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Top target in Week 9 loss

    Shaheed reeled in five of nine targets for 68 yards during Sunday's 34-10 loss against the Rams.

    Shaheed saw a team high in targets from rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, who made his first career start after being named QB1 over previous starter Spencer Rattler. New Orleans' offense didn't show much improvement with their new signal-caller, but Shaheed had his third-most productive outing of the season, tallying at least 50 receiving yards for the fourth time. It was also his fourth game with at least nine targets; meanwhile, WR1 Chris Olave tied with Juwan Johnson for the team's second-most targets (four). It will be worth monitoring if this target share continues during the Saints' Week 10 contest versus Carolina.
