Ryland did not attempt a field goal and made both of his PATs in Sunday's 40-20 loss to Houston.

Ryland went without a field-goal try for the first time since Week 10 and the third time overall this year. On the bright side, the kicker snapped his streak of four straight games with a field-goal miss. Ryland has now gone six games in a row with one or zero field-goal makes, and he'll look to be busier in Week 16 against the Falcons.

Lutz did not attempt a field goal and made all four of his PATs in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers.

Lutz went without a field-goal attempt for the first time since Week 4, and he has now made one or zero field goals in six of the last eight games overall. The kicker still has had a strong season, going 20-for-23 on field-goal tries, including 3-for-5 from 50-plus yards, while making all 34 of his extra-point attempts over 14 contests.

Prater went 5-of-5 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 35-31 win over the Patriots.

On a high-scoring day for the Bills' offense, the team's kicker did not get a field-goal try, though he made the most of his extra-point attempts. Prater has now made 43 extra points in 14 regular-season appearances this season, so he does get plenty of scoring opportunities on Josh Allen's team. He just hasn't attempted more than two field goals in a game since Week 2.

Young completed 15 of 24 passes for 163 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints. He added seven rushes for 49 yards.

As has been the case for much of the season, the Panthers were content to rely on the ground game to power their offense. That limited Young to 25 or fewer pass attempts for the sixth time in his last eight matchups, though he did a solid job pushing the ball down the field when called upon. Young's performance was highlighted by a 32-yard touchdown pass that hit Jalen Coker in stride down the right sideline, and he also tacked on three additional completions of at least 20 yards. Despite the positives, Young has been held below 200 passing yards in all but three games this season, and he now has one or fewer touchdowns in four of the team's last six games.

Szmyt made his only field-goal attempt in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Bears.

Szmyt was held to one or zero field-goal attempts for the fourth week in a row, making the most of his only kick in Week 15, converting a 50-yarder in the third quarter. The kicker has now gone 18-for-21 on field-goal tries, including 5-for-6 from 50-plus yards, while making 20 of 21 PATs over 14 games during his rookie campaign so far.

Goff completed 25 of 41 pass attempts for 338 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 41-34 loss to the Rams.

Matthew Stafford bested Goff in a battle of quarterbacks who were traded for each other back in 2021. The latter actually finished with the superior fantasy score after Goff set a new season high in passing yards. It was the fourth time this season that the Cal product threw for three touchdowns with no interceptions, resulting in a sparkling 5.8 TD/INT through 14 starts. Goff will look to continue his strong fantasy campaign when the Lions host the Steelers next Sunday.

Slye went 1-of-2 on field-goal tries and 3-of-3 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the 49ers.

The kicker pushed a 50-yard attempt wide right in the second quarter. Slye has now missed six field goals this year, though he has attempted seven extra points over the last two weeks as Tennessee's offense has started to play a little better.

Hargrave (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against the Cowboys.

Hargrave suffered an apparent groin injury in the second half, placing some doubt on his availability for the rest of the night. In his absence, Levi Drake Rodriguez and Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins are candidates to see an increase in workload on the defensive line.

Pacheco rushed 11 times for 21 yards in the Chiefs' 16-13 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Pacheco logged five more carries than backfield mate Kareem Hunt, but neither back made any inroads against a Chargers defense that had often struggled to stop the run this season. Pacheco's carry total was his highest since Week 8, yet he's yet to eclipse 58 rushing yards during the campaign. Pacheco will finish out the regular season without the benefit of the threat Patrick Mahomes (knee) typically poses to opposing defenses, as the talented signal-caller tore his ACL in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Fitzgerald made his only field-goal try and went 2-for-2 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.

Fitzgerald was limited to one field-goal make for the third straight week, converting a 40-yard attempt in the second quarter. The kicker has now made multiple field goals in just one of the last seven contests, greatly limiting his upside. On the season, the rookie has now gone 20-for-24 on field-goal tries, including 2-for-4 from 50-plus yards, while making 22 of 25 PATs over 14 contests.
