  • Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Misses PAT in Week 1 loss

    Aubrey made just two of three extra-point attempts in Sunday night's 28-20 loss to the Giants.

    The big-legged kicker didn't attempt a field goal against New York. His missed PAT came after a Javonte Williams touchdown in which he also picked up a taunting penalty to push Aubrey's extra-point try back to a 48-yard attempt. Widely drafted as the top kicker in fantasy this summer, Aubrey's Week 1 was less than ideal. He finished as fantasy's No. 4 overall kicker in points per game last season.

  • Vikings' Will Reichard: Makes all five kicks in Week 1

    Reichard converted his lone field-goal attempts and four PATs in Sunday's 39-22 win over the Packers.

    Reichard got the scoring started for Minnesota with a 38-yard field goal in the first quarter. With a 25-22 lead early in the fourth quarter, coach Kevin O'Connell passed on a PAT and instead opted to go for two following a Justin Jefferson touchdown. Reichard has been a top-eight fantasy kicker in each of the previous two seasons, as he's 58-for-66 on field-goal tries and a perfect 73-for-73 on extra points since entering the NFL in 2024.

  • Jake Bates K | DET

    Lions' Jake Bates: Perfect in Week 1 victory

    Bates made his lone field-goal attempt and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-30 overtime win over the Saints.

    Bates had a subpar 2025 season, converting just 27 of 34 field-goal tries and 54 of 56 PATs, and he followed it up with a rough preseason this summer. However, he was perfect against New Orleans, converting a chip-shot 23-yard field goal with the four extra points. Bates led all NFL kickers in point-after attempts and makes last season in Detroit's high-powered offense. If he can get his field-goal percentage back up closer to 90 percent, Bates should regain K1 status in fantasy this season.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Make four of five kicks in Week 1 win

    Boswell went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made both PATs in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Falcons.

    Boswell's miss came from 56 yards in the fourth quarter, as he pushed it wide right. It kept Atlanta in the game trailing by just seven points with 6:58 to play. The veteran kicker's makes were from 43 and 28 yards. Boswell was fantasy's No. 16 overall kicker in points per game last season, as he made just 27 of 32 field-goal attempts and 42 of 43 extra-point tries over 17 regular-season games in a low-scoring Steelers offense.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Converts all five kicks Sunday

    Fairbairn made his lone field-goal attempt and all four PATs in Sunday's 36-31 loss to Buffalo.

    Fairbairn's field goal was drilled from 58 yards in the fourth quarter to bring the Texans within one point. Fantasy's No. 1 overall kicker last season, Fairbairn has had a mistake-free 2026 to this point after he went perfect during the preseason. The 32-year-old led the NFL in field-goal attempts (48) and makes (44) last season while also converting all 28 of his extra-point tries over 15 regular-season games.

  • Matt Gay K | LV

    Raiders' Matt Gay: Perfect in Week 1 win

    Gay converted both of his field-goal attempts and all three extra points in the Raiders' 27-13 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Gay signed with Las Vegas in the offseason and beat out Kansei Matsuzawa for the Raiders' kicking job over the summer. He's looking for a bounce-back season after struggling in 2025 with the Commanders and 49ers, converting a career-low 73.9 percent of his field-goal tries, including just four of nine from 50-plus yards. Gay's field goals were good from 47 and 30 yards against Miami on Sunday.

  • Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Makes all five kicks Sunday

    McLaughlin went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all three extra-point tries in Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Bengals.

    McLaughlin got the scoring started in this one, converting a 34-yard field goal early in the first quarter before later making a 51-yard kick in the third quarter to cut the Bengals' lead to 14 points. The veteran kicker finished 2025 as fantasy's No. 12 kicker in points per game after making a career-best 11 field goals from 50-plus yards. He'll be in a good spot next Sunday at home against the lowly Browns, who just surrendered 34 points to the Jaguars in Week 1.

  • Zay Flowers WR | BAL

    Ravens' Zay Flowers: Day-to-day heading into Week 2

    The Ravens are viewing Flowers as day-to-day after he sustained a left hamstring injury in Sunday's 41-23 win over the Colts that isn't considered serious, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Despite exiting the Week 1 win with just under six minutes remaining in the second quarter, Flowers still delivered for fantasy managers, posting five receptions for a career-high 150 yards and a touchdown on six targets. Though Flowers had previously appeared on the Ravens' Week 1 injury report with a hamstring issue, he's seemingly dealing with a minor aggravation of the injury, as Rapoport indicates that the wideout likely would have checked back into Sunday's contest if it was a playoff game. The Ravens will send Flowers in for an MRI just to confirm that he's not dealing with a more serious injury, and if imaging reveals nothing concerning, he'll have a real chance at playing Week 2 against the Saints.

  • Isaiah Likely TE | NYG

    Giants' Isaiah Likely: Scores twice in Week 1 win

    Likely caught all eight of his targets for 78 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 28-20 win over the Cowboys.

    Likely showcased excellent chemistry with quarterback Jaxson Dart, as all of their attempted connections resulted in completions, including touchdowns of 15 yards in the second quarter and two yards in the third, which turned a 7-7 tie into a 21-7 Giants lead. Malik Nabers (knee) suited up and led the team with nine targets, but no other teammate exceeded four targets or 27 receiving yards. Likely looks like an integral piece of the Giants' passing game heading into a Week 2 road game against the Rams on Monday Night Football.

  • Dak Prescott QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Held to 175 passing yards in loss

    Prescott completed 22 of 34 passes for 175 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Giants. He also rushed twice for 14 yards.

    Prescott connected with CeeDee Lamb for a one-yard touchdown in the second quarter and found Javonte Williams for a 17-yard touchdown in the fourth. Prescott's interception in the final minute of the first half proved costly, as the Giants scored a go-ahead touchdown six plays later and led the rest of the way. Lamb finished with just 44 yards and George Pickens had only 28, as Dallas' talented passing game was stuck in first gear. Prescott, who finished third in the league with 4,552 passing yards during the 2025 regular season, will try to pick up the pace in Dallas' Week 2 home opener against the Commanders.
