Converts career-high 37 FGs in 2024
Sanders converted both of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries during Sunday's 32-20 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Sanders ends the 2024 campaign with a 90 percent conversion rate, having gone 37-for-41 on field-goal attempts and 26-for-28 on PATs. The veteran has two years remaining on his deal with the Dolphins. Coach Mike McDaniel's offense will work to bounce back with Tua Tagovailoa (hip) during the 2025 campaign, and better red-zone efficiency could cause Sanders' total number of field-goal opportunities to decline, but to be balanced out by an uptick in PATs. Sanders figures to be in the mix as a…read more

Sanders converted both of his field-goal tries and both extra-point attempts during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Browns.
Analysis: Sanders has been perfect on 25 consecutive field-goal attempts across his last 10 appearances. On the year, he boasts a 90 percent conversion rate (35 of 39) on field-goal tries and has made 24 of 26 PATs. He'll work to close out the regular season strong Week 18 at home against the Jets.

Scores 17 points in Week 16 win
Sanders converted all five of his field-goal attempts during Sunday's 29-17 win over the 49ers. He also made both of his extra-point tries.
Analysis: Sanders accounted for more than half of Miami's total points during the Week 16 win, his most productive game of the 2024 campaign. The veteran is now three field-goal conversions away from his career-best mark of 36, with Sunday's upcoming road matchup against the Browns representing his first of two remaining regular-season contests to set a new career high.

Fairly accurate in loss
Sanders converted both of his field-goal tries but missed his only extra-point attempt during Miami's 20-12 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Analysis: Sanders missed just his second PAT of the year during Sunday's loss, making him 20-for-22 on extra-point attempts across 14 appearances. In terms of field goals, Sanders is now a solid 28-for-32. Sanders has logged at least two-field goal attempts in 12 of 14 appearances this season, providing him with a solid fantasy floor heading into a tough Week 16 game against the 49ers at home.

Nearly perfect in OT win
Sanders converted all four of his field-goal attempts during Sunday's 32-26 win over the Jets. He missed his lone extra-point try.
Analysis: Sanders' lone miss of Week 14 came on a PAT, as he was otherwise perfect, inducing on a long 57-yard field goal. The veteran has now gone seven straight games without missing a field-goal attempt. On the season, across 13 appearances, Sanders is 26-for-30 on field-goal tries and 20-for-21 on PATs. He'll look to remain accurate on the road against Houston in Week 15.

Converts lone field-goal try
Sanders converted his only field-goal attempt in Thursday's 30-17 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Sanders wasn't allotted many scoring opportunities during Thursday's loss, in which Miami succumbed to an early deficit and had to aggressively pursue touchdowns in an ultimately failed comeback attempt. A home matchup against the Jets in Week 14 should allow the Dolphins' offense to return to a more normal game script. Thursday's loss represents just the second time in 12 appearances this season that Sanders has logged less than two field-goal tries.

Perfect in lopsided win
Sanders made both of his two field-goal tries and converted all of his four extra-point attempts during Sunday's 34-15 win versus the Patriots.
Analysis: Sanders' longest kick Sunday came from 51 yards out late in the fourth quarter to put Miami up 34-15. He has now gone five consecutive games without a missed kick, and he'll be hoping to keep up the momentum in Week 13 at Green Bay.

Flawless in blowout win
Sanders made both of his two field-goal tries and converted all four of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 34-19 win versus the Raiders.
Analysis: Sanders made multiple field goals without missing a kick for his fourth straight contest in Week 11, including a 46-yarder to put Miami up 34-19 with less than two minutes remaining to play. He'll look to stay hot when the Dolphins host the Patriots in Week 12.

Sanders made all three of his field-goal attempts and converted both of his extra-point tries during Monday's 23-15 win against the Rams.
Analysis: Sanders has now made multiple field goals in three consecutive games, and he hasn't missed a kick during that span despite attempting three field goals from 50-plus yards out. It looks like he'll have another good setup in Week 11 when Miami hosts the Raiders.

Faultless in road loss
Sanders made both of his two field-goal tries and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 30-27 loss at Buffalo.
Analysis: Sanders made multiple field goals for his second straight contest in Week 9, further demonstrating his accuracy on short kicks this season. The Dolphins' offense appears to be back on track with Tua Tagovailoa under center again, and Sanders will get the benefit of kicking indoors in Week 10 against the Rams.

Perfect in Week 8 loss
Sanders converted both of his field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries during Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Sanders was perfect for Miami in Tua Tagovailoa's return to the starting lineup, which despite a disappointing loss, featured the Dolphins' best scoring day of the season. The reliable placekicker has had at least two field-goal tries in six of seven appearances this season, and he'll hope for consistent opportunities again on the road against Buffalo in Week 9.

Sanders converted one of two field-goal tries and his lone extra-point attempt during Sunday's 16-10 loss to Indianapolis.
Analysis: Sanders missed from 54 yards out early in the fourth quarter, hitting the left upright. The veteran kicker has now missed four of 14 field-goal tries across six games, though each of those failed conversions has come from 40-plus yards out.

Solid in narrow win over Patriots
Sanders converted three of four field-goal attempts during Sunday's 15-10 win over New England.
Analysis: Sanders missed one field-goal try from 41 yards out, but he converted kicks from distances of 54, 47 and 32 yards away. He hasn't been afforded the chance to kick a PAT in three consecutive games. After a Week 6 bye, Sanders and the Dolphins will face off against the Colts on the road.

Analysis: Sanders' performance didn't impact the game, but he was successful from 44 and 56 yards out, bringing him to 6-for-8 on FGAs in the 2024 campaign. Next up for the New Mexico product and the Dolphins is a visit to New England for a Week 5 matchup.

First miss of season
Sanders converted one of two field-goal attempts during Sunday's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Sanders accounted for all of Miami's points in the team's convincing Week 3 loss to Seattle, a game in which neither of Skylar Thompson (ribs) or Tim Boyle were able to adequately pilot the offense while under center. With Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) still on IR for the foreseeable future, Sanders may continue to have his opportunities stymied by below-average offensive play. The Dolphins' next chance to get back on track will come versus Tennessee on Monday night.

Converts only FGA in TNF loss
Sanders converted his only-field goal attempt and his lone extra-point try during Thursday night's 31-10 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: The Dolphins' offense struggled mightily Thursday, leaving Sanders to cope with a game script that demanded the team to forsake field-goal opportunities. With Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) looking uncertain to play Week 3 against Seattle, and potentially longer, Sanders' scoring prospects could be minimized by a limited offense for the foreseeable future.

Converts game-winner Week 1
Sanders converted two of three field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Sanders missed wide left from 42 yards out in the fourth quarter, but he more than made up for the gaff by converting from 37 yards out with less than five minutes remaining, then nailing a 52-yarder to put Miami ahead as time expired. The sixth-year pro will look to remain clutch Week 2, as the Dolphins prepare for a divisional Thursday Night Football matchup against the Bills.

Little doing in wild-card loss
Sanders converted his only extra-point try during Saturday's 26-7 wild-card loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Sanders didn't attempt a field goal during Saturday's frigid weather conditions, especially with Miami's offense stalling early. The loss was reminiscent of the Dolphins' regular-season finale loss to Buffalo, another contest in which trailing from the outset cost Sanders a chance to factor into the offense significantly. Still, Sanders is coming off a solid season in which he converted 24 of 28 field-goal attempts, with his only misses coming from 40-plus yards out.

Quiet end to impressive season
Sanders did not attempt a field goal during Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Bills. He converted both extra-point tries.
Analysis: Sanders had attempted at least two field goals in six of his prior seven games heading into Sunday's divisional loss, but Miami's offense was never put in a position to chase anything less than a touchdown. Across 17 games this season, Sanders converted 24 of 28 field-goal attempts (86 percent) and a career-high 58 of 59 extra-point tries. He'll look to maintain his consistency during the playoffs, beginning with a Saturday road matchup against the Chiefs in the wild-card round.

Bright spot in embarrassing loss
Sanders converted both of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try during Sunday's 56-19 loss to Baltimore.
Analysis: Sanders converted field goals from 38 and 27 yards out Sunday, but as the Ravens' lead slowly expanded, Miami was forced to pursue touchdowns more aggressively and foresake the kicking game. As long as the Dolphins are able to keep Week 18's crucial divisional matchup against Buffalo closer, Sanders should see more scoring opportunities. In seven appearances since the Dolphins' bye, Sanders has averaged 2.7 field-goal tries per game.

Heroic effort in narrow win
Sanders converted all five of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try during Sunday's 22-20 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Sanders' career performance made the difference in Miami emerging victorious over Dallas, as he converted three field goals from 50-plus yards out, plus the game-winner from short range as time expired. The kicker's utilization was somewhat unusual, as the Dolphins' offense was able to move up and down the field but struggled to finish out drives. Sanders could be busy again Week 17, with a road matchup against the Ravens looming.

Perfect in blowout win
Sanders converted all three of his field-goal tries and all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 30-0 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Sanders wasn't called upon for any difficult kicks in Sunday's win, with his long attempt of the day coming from 37 yards out. He faces a tougher Week 16 matchup against the Cowboys, however, one in which Miami's offense may not be put in such a comfortable position. Since the Dolphins' bye in Week 10, Sanders has attempted at least two field goals in four of five games.

Crucial blocked kick in loss
Sanders converted two of three field-goal tries and all three of his extra-point attempts during Monday's 28-27 loss to Tennessee.
Analysis: Sanders had a 44-yard field-goal attempt blocked by Denico Autry in the final minutes of the second quarter, a score which could've potentially put Miami over the top in Monday's narrow loss. The Dolphins may need to rely on the kicking game more than usual to put up points Week 15 versus the Jets' stout defense, especially if top playmaker Tyreek Hill (ankle) is less than 100 percent.

Analysis: Sanders missed his first field-goal try since Week 2, a 50-yarder, in Sunday's one-score win, but he also converted one FGA from 51 yards out. The veteran has historically struggled from that distance, but he's otherwise ranked among the NFL's most accurate kickers.

The Dolphins' high-flying offense will continue to provide Sanders plenty of scoring opportunities, even if coach Mike McDaniel's aggressiveness means he lacks a reliable floor in terms of weekly field-goal tries.

Analysis: Sanders missed his first field goal since Week 9 in Sunday's disappointing loss, just one game after he went 3-for-3 on field goals in a narrow game against the Bills. On deck for Week 17 is a must-win divisional contest against the Patriots, and after Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) threw three interceptions against Green Bay, coach Mike McDaniel could trend towards more conservative playcalling.

Good on only FGA
Sanders converted his lone field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries during Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Sanders has back-to-back games with just one field-goal attempt, a pattern that coincides with Tua Tagovailoa's recent struggles on offense. The Dolphins have a tough matchup against the Bills on deck Week 15, so if the offense isn't able to get back on track, fantasy managers may want to look for a starting option other than Sanders.

Analysis: Sanders predictably saw plentiful opportunities Sunday, in a matchup that saw Houston's defense look overmatched by Miami's offense straight out of the gate. The kicker likely could have put up more points if the Dolphins didn't opt to take the foot off the gas pedal after taking a 30-0 lead, ultimately pulling quarterback Tua Tagovailoa early.

Shortest miss of career
Sanders failed to convert his only field-goal try but made all five of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 35-32 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Sanders' miss came on a 29-yard attempt just prior to halftime, the shortest whiff in his NFL career. It's important context that Sunday's contest took place in a windy Soldier Field setting, which played a factor in Miami going for multiple fourth-down conversions rather than attempt to kick in adverse conditions. Sanders' opportunities should normalize versus the Browns in Week 10, though he's only had more than two field-goal attempts in two games this season.

Perfect in Sunday night win
Sanders converted all three of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try during Sunday's 16-10 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Sanders accounted for the majority of Miami's points during Sunday Night Football, as Tua Tagovailoa struggled to move the offense during the second half. The Dolphins' offense will have a chance to get right Week 8 versus Detroit, a matchup which could again provide Sanders with opportunities to get on the scoreboard.

Another long miss
Sanders converted one of two field-goal tries and his sole extra-point attempt during Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Sanders has now missed from 50-plus yards out in three straight weeks, all of which have been contests that saw Miami's offense struggle due to in-game quarterback injuries. The team should have Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) back under center versus the Steelers in Week 7, so there's optimism that the offense gets right, giving Sanders more stable opportunities.

Misses long field goal
Sanders converted one of two field-goal tries and both extra-point attempts during Sunday's 40-17 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Sanders can't be trusted to receive significant opportunities with a third-string quarterback under center, and it could fall to Skylar Thompson to make another start Week 6 if neither Tua Tagovailoa or Teddy Bridgewater can clear the concussion protocol. Sanders has now missed from 50-plus yards out in back-to-back weeks.

Good on three of four kicks
Sanders converted three of four field-goal attempts and missed his only extra-point try during Thursday's 27-15 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Sanders' only missed field-goal try came from 50-plus yards out and with significant wind, but it was good to see him receive increased opportunities. In Miami's previous two games, Sanders had been limited to just extra-point conversions. The Dolphins are looking ahead to a divisional matchup against the Jets in Week 5.

No field-goal tries again
Sanders did not attempt a field goal during Sunday's 21-19 win over the Bills. He converted all three of his extra-point tries.
Analysis: Sanders has now gone back-to-back weeks without a field-goal attempt. While that certainly won't be the norm for Sanders this season, it does leave the kicker as a low-floor fantasy option for Thursday's game against the Bengals. In Week 1 versus the Patriots, Sanders converted his pair of field-goal attempts.

Makes all six extra points
Sanders converted all six of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 42-38 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: The Dolphins began Week 2 immediately facing a deficit due to a kick-return touchdown by Devin Duvernay (concussion), and the game script only got worse from there. As such, the team never had a real chance to settle for field goals, but Sanders did avoid making any mistakes handling point-after tries. He hasn't yet missed a kick and will look to remain perfect versus Buffalo in Week 3.

Accuracy drops notably in 2021
Sanders converted 23 of 31 field-goal attempts and 34 of 35 extra-point tries across 17 appearances in 2021.
Analysis: Sanders' spectacular 92 percent field-goal conversion rate from 2020 fell to just 74 percent in 2021, though he remained exceptional in terms of extra points. The Dolphins will bring in competition for Sanders this offseason, at the very least, though there isn't a potential out written into his contract until 2023.

Only scorer in convincing loss
Sanders converted one of two field-goal attempts during Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Sanders has now missed a kick in back-to-back games, though Sunday's failed conversion came from over 50 yards out. The placekicker accounted for all of Miami's points in Week 17's blowout loss, but the script of the game resulted in very few scoring opportunities.

Sanders made his only field-goal attempt and all four extra-point tries during Sunday's win over the Jets.
Analysis: Sanders performed reliably during Sunday's divisional win, accounting for seven points. Prior to Sunday's game Sanders had logged four straight contests with at least two field-goal tries, however, so his involvement versus New York was somewhat disappointing. He could get more chances versus the Saints on Monday night, as long as Miami's defense can keep the overall score close.

Analysis: Sanders is sitting at a career-worst 72 percent field goal conversion rate through 11 games this season, and Sunday's miss came from only 32 yards out. The four-year veteran will get a chance to bounce back versus the Panthers in Week 12, but if Sanders' accuracy issues continue down the stretch, he could find his position with the Dolphins in jeopardy.

Sanders converted all three of his field-goal attempts during Thursday's 22-10 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: Sanders also converted his lone extra-point try. Baltimore's stingy defense, in combination with what was a narrow and low-scoring affair through most of Thursday's contest, prompted Miami to play relatively conservative and accept chances at field goals.

Analysis: Sanders has now missed a kick in back-to-back games, and he's only made seven out of 10 field-goal tries on the season.

Sanders converted two of three field-goal tries and both extra-point attempts during the 31-28 overtime loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Sanders wasn't given any layups during Sunday's overtime loss, as his lone miss came from 48 yards out, while his two converted field goals came in the form of a 46- and a 50-yarder.

Perhaps most impressively, Sanders converted 12 of 14 field-goal tries from 40-49 yards out and eight of nine attempts from 50-plus yards away, both career-high marks.

Analysis: The Dolphins' first win of the season overshadows Sanders' recent struggles, as he missed his fourth kick of the season Week 9. The 2018 seventh-round pick has converted just six of 10 field-goal tries through eight games, though he has been perfect on all 11 extra-point attempts.
