Bass made both of his two field-goal tries and converted all four of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 34-10 win versus the Titans.
The longest field goal Bass made in Week 7 (30 yards) was actually shorter than an extra point, so his share of Buffalo's points came with relative ease. He's been mostly solid so far this season and should have a high fantasy floor as long as the Bills' offense keeps putting up points in bunches.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Set to kick Sunday
Rotowire
Coach Sean McDermott confirmed Friday that Bass will handle the Bills' kicking duties Sunday against the Titans, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports.
Though the Bills signed Lucas Havrisik to their practice squad Thursday, the team will stick with Bass this weekend. Through six games to date, Bass -- who has been Buffalo's kicker since 2020 -- has gone 9-for-12 on field-goal tries and made 18 of his 20 extra-point attempts.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Job less safe
Rotowire
The Bills signed Lucas Havrisik to the practice squad Thursday, shortly after general manager Brandon Beane made some comments about Bass's recent struggles.
"We do have some kickers," Beane said earlier this week as reported by the Bills' official site. "We're gonna work them out this afternoon after practice," Beane said. "T-Bass would be the first to tell you it hasn't gone the way he would like it. And, quite frankly, the way we like it." Bass is a tolerable 9-for-12 on field goals, but his misses have been ugly, including a downright shank in Monday's win over the Jets that even a terrible golfer would find cringeworthy. He's also missed two extra points this season after being lock-solid on those throughout his career. The Bills do have a good scoring matchup this week as heavy favorites at home against the Titans, but Bass managers will want to take an extra peek at the roster over the weekend. Fortunately, the Bills play in the early wave of games Sunday following a string of heavy primetime appearances.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Near perfect in lopsided win
Rotowire
Bass converted both of his field-goal attempts and five of six extra-point tries during Buffalo's 47-10 win over the Jaguars.
Bass logged his first PAT miss of the year on Monday night, after having missed one of two field-goal tries Week 2. Josh Allen has lead Buffalo's offense to 30-plus points in all three of its regular-season games so far, and, as a result, Bass currently leads the league with 13 converted PATs despite his one miss Monday. The Bills now face a tougher test Week 4 against Baltimore.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Converts one of two FGAs in win
Rotowire
Bass converted one of two field-goal attempts during Thursday's 31-10 win over the Dolphins. He also made all four of his extra-point tries.
Bass missed a field-goal try wide left from 45 yards out in the fourth quarter, but his number of extra-point attempts bolstered his production for a second straight week. As long as Josh Allen and the Bills offense can keep up its momentum, Bass will benefit from plentiful scoring opportunities again Week 3 against the Jaguars on Monday Night Football.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Perfect in victory
Rotowire
Bass made all four extra-point attempts and two field goals in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.
Bass didn't miss Sunday, first connecting on a 37-yard FGA and then a 39-yarder in the final minutes that extended the Bills lead to 6. With four successful PATs included, it was a perfect Week 1 for the veteran kicker. Next up for Bass and the Bills is a divisional matchup Thursday against the Dolphins.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Ups and downs in 2023 season
Rotowire
Bass made 24 out of 29 field-goal attempts and 49 of 50 extra-point tries in 17 regular-season games in 2023.
It's the postseason that really leaves a pimple on Bass's season, as he made just two of five field-goal attempts over two playoff games, including a 44-yarder that would have tied the divisional-round loss to the Chiefs with 1:43 left to play. The 121 points for Bass in the regular season represented his worst total in four NFL campaigns and put him in the 15th spot among all kickers, disappointing considering the Bills were sixth in the NFL in points scored.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Limited to cameos in thriller
Rotowire
Bass was true on all three of his extra-point attempts and did not attempt a field goal in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Dolphins.
In a 1958 style of box score, neither team even attempted a field-goal try, as the two offenses settled the score in what ultimately decided the AFC East crown for the Bills. Bass finishes the regular season with 121 points, which ranks 15th among all kickers for the 2023 campaign. This is a bit of a disappointment given that the Bills have one of the NFL's better offenses and that Bass finished in a tie for sixth among kicker scoring in both 2022 and 2021. On a more positive note, he's scored 121 or more points in all four of his NFL seasons. Bass and the Bills are heavily favored in a home wild-card game against the No. 7 seed Steelers on Sunday.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Important kicks in close victory
Rotowire
Bass made both of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Chiefs.
This was as close of a game as you could have between two perennial playoff teams -- one that came with a controversial ending -- and all of Bass's kicks mattered, namely his 39-yard make with 1:57 left to play that ultimately proved to be the difference in the final score. After an extremely dry run from Week 5 to Week 10, Bass has now put up 32 points over the last three games, moving him up to a more palatable 13th spot among kickers entering Monday night action.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Comes through in clutch
Rotowire
Bass made both of his field goal and extra-point attempts in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Chiefs.
Bass was perfect on the day, first connecting on a 31-yard attempt on the Bills' first drive of the second half to build a 17-7 lead. He then followed with a 39-yard make with 1:57 remaining in the game to give Buffalo a 20-17 lead and ultimately the win. The fourth-year kicker is now 20-for-25 this season on FGAs and 36 of 37 on PATs. Bass and the Bills will next travel to Dallas for a Week 15 matchup.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Breaks through as offense recovers
Rotowire
Bass made all four field-goal attempts (48, 30, 33, 50) and two of three extra-point tries in Sunday's 32-6 win over the Jets.
The 14 points is a new season high for Bass, and it exceeds his previous three outings combined, where he posted 12 total points as the Bills offense sputtered, to the point where offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey was fired prior to Sunday's game. We'll see if the team's potentially elite offense has found another gear or if it was just a one-week boost, though it's worth noting Buffalo's schedule is brutal -- the Bills finish with games at Philadelphia, at Kansas City, Dallas, at the Chargers, New England and at Miami.

Bass made his only field-goal attempt and lone extra-point try in Sunday night's 24-18 loss to the Bengals.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Lowest output of season
Rotowire
Bass made both of his extra-point tries and didn't attempt a field goal in Buffalo's 25-20 loss to Jacksonville in London on Sunday.
Bass was the victim of the Bills falling behind after the offense got off to a sluggish start, and he finished with a season-low scoring figure. This was also his first game in 2023 without a field-goal attempt. On a more positive note, Bass has yet to miss a single kick all season, making all nine of his FG tries while going a perfect 18-for-18 on extra-point tries. Bass is still a solid seventh in scoring among kickers, with 45 points on the campaign.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Another big outing
Rotowire
Bass tallied 12 points in Sunday's 48-20 win over the Dolphins, making both of his field-goal tries and successfully making the extra point on all six of Buffalo's touchdowns.
Bass has been flawless through four games, going 9-for-9 on field-goal attempts (including 3-for-3 from 50-plus) and making all 16 of his extra-point tries. Between his accurate leg and Buffalo's standing as the No. 2 scoring offense, he's a top-five kicker right now in almost any format. Bass currently sits fourth on the NFL scoring list with 43 points, behind only Dallas' Brandon Aubrey, Philadelphia's Jake Elliott and the Rams' Brett Maher.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Plays role in offensive outburst
Rotowire
Bass made all three of his field-goal attempts and was 4-for-4 on extra points in Sunday's 37-3 win over the Commanders
Bass has 31 points already on the season, currently tied for third in the league among kickers. He's also been even more accurate than usual, going 7-for-7 on field goals -- including two from 50-plus -- while knocking in all 10 of his extra-point attempts. Bass was a top-five fantasy kicker to begin the season, and while that's proven true so far, he could receive a further boost knowing that quarterback Josh Allen has been tasked with keeping things closer to the vest following a turnover-laced performance vs. the Jets in Week 1.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Misses one kick in preseason finale
Rotowire
Bass was 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and hit all three of his extra-point tries in Saturday's preseason win over Chicago.
Unless Steve Christie or Nick Mike-Mayer retired in Western New York, we don't believe there's another kicker with professional experience within a 100 miles of Buffalo, so Bass is as safe a roster lock as it is heading into a challenging Week 1 matchup against the Jets. Although the Bills have a tough schedule, they also offer a top offense and a kicker that's been one of the league's most reliable in his three NFL seasons, averaging 8.4 fantasy points or more per game each season. Bass should be one of the first five kickers off the board in almost any format.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Major role in challenging week
Rotowire
Bass connected on all six field-goal tries and his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's win over the Browns.
The game was moved to Detroit and perfect conditions due to a snowstorm in Buffalo, and perhaps nobody benefited more than the third-year kicker, as we have to imagine it would have been tough to make six field goals in a game that would have been greatly affected by weather. We also have to imagine the 19 points won a number of fantasy games in Week 11, as Bass actually out-pointed superstar teammate Josh Allen for the week. Bass's big outing has vaulted him all the way to the top of the list among all kickers with 93 points.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Has kick blocked
Rotowire
Bass missed one of two field-goal attempts but made all five of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 38-3 win over the Steelers.
Bass had a 49-yard field goal blocked in the first quarter, but he rallied to convert from 35 yards on the next drive. With Buffalo's offense having another big day, he got a handful more PATs to his name, bringing his season tally to 42 points, which ranks third among kickers league-wide.
