Matchup Ratings

Chris Boswell has only one field-goal attempt over his last two outings for the Steelers, but in Week 17, he gets a Browns defense that has allowed 26.5 points per game this season, tied for 11th-most in the league.

Graham Gano has missed only one field goal all season for the Giants and will face a Dallas squad in Week 17 yielding an even 30 points per contest in 2020, which is 30th in the NFL.

Wil Lutz and the Saints have only attempted two total field goals in two games since Drew Brees returned, but New Orleans averaged 2.0 field goals in 9 games before Brees' original injury and now have a decent Week 17 matchup with a Panthers defense that ranks 17th in points allowed per game (24.6) in 2020.

Brandon McManus has missed at least one kick in three straight games, but he could have opportunities to spare in Week 17 as the Broncos host a Raiders team allowing 29.8 points a game, 29th in the league.

Justin Tucker has had multiple field-goal opportunities in three of his past four games for the Ravens, and in Week 17, he gets a Bengals defense that ranks in the middle of the pack in allowing 25.7 points per game this season.

Ka'imi Fairbairn has connected on 23 of 27 field-goal attempts this season heading into Houston's Week 17 finale at home against a Titans team that's allowing 26.7 points per game.

Dan Bailey hasn't made a field goal in two of the Vikings last three games, but he's quietly attempted multiple field goals in four of five and at least three PATs in six of nine, giving him some potential in a Week 17 matchup against a Lions defense that's allowed double-digit points to opposing kickers just once all year, largely due to the fact they allow far more TDs than FGs.

Harrison Butker hasn't missed a kick in six straight games, but with Kansas City having already clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC and likely to rest key players, the offense could struggle to provide him with opportunities in Week 17 against a Chargers team allowing 27.0 points a game, 24th in the league.

Nick Folk extended his field-goal streak to 26-straight, but missed a PAT to add to the Patriots misery heading into Week 17 against his former team, the Jets.

Matt Gay has connected on just seven field goals over the Rams' last four games, and he'll have a Week 17 matchup against an Arizona defense that allows just 1.5 made field goals per contest.

Sam Ficken had both a field goal and an extra point blocked for the Jets heading into Week 17 against the Patriots as he looks to end his poor season (12-for-15 on extra points) on a high note.

Michael Badgley has missed five kicks in the last five games, making him a risky option in Week 17 as the Chargers face a Kansas City team allowing only 21.6 points a game, sixth in the league.

Mason Crosby has at least three PATs in eight straight for a high-flying Packers offense, but has multiple field goals just once in that span and in none of his last seven, suggesting a stable yet low floor with no ceiling in Week 17 against a Bears defense that's allowed multiple field goals just once in six weeks.

Austin Seibert has converted just five of his seven field-goal chances in his past two outings for the Bengals, and in Week 17, he gets a Ravens defense allowing just 20.0 points per game this season, the fourth-lowest number in the league.

Jake Elliott has made one field goal or fewer in 12-straight games for the Eagles and will face a difficult test in Week 17 against a stingy Washington squad surrendering just 21 points per contest, which is fifth in the NFL.
