Raiders' Matt Gay: Perfect in Week 1 win
Rotowire
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.

Raiders' Matt Gay: Scores all points in loss
Rotowire
Gay converted four of five field-goal attempts in Thursday night's 18-12 preseason loss to the 49ers.
Gay made field goals from 37, 53, 45 and 48 yards while missing one from 54 yards. The veteran kicker had a strong overall showing, accounting for all 12 of the Raiders' points in the preseason finale. The 32-year-old appears ready for the mid-range challenges, but he once again may struggle from 50-plus yards, making just four of nine attempts during the 2025 season (44 percent).

Raiders' Matt Gay: Outperforms Matsuzawa in preseason win
Rotowire
Gay made his only field-goal attempt from 52 yards in Thursday's 22-20 preseason win over the Texans.
Gay outperformed rookie Kansei Matsuzawa in the Raiders' second preseason game, as Matsuzawa didn't attempt a field goal but converted only one of three PAT tries. Gay has been the favorite from the outset of Vegas' kicker competition thanks to the 32-year-old's edge in experience, and Thursday's results should help further tip the scales in his favor.

Raiders' Matt Gay: Early leader in competition
Rotowire
Gay worked as the first-team kicker at Friday's training camp practice and made all of his attempts, Sam Warren of the Athletic reports.
Gay rotated in ahead of Kansei Matsuzawa, the latter of whom had a 40-yard miss in Friday's practice but made the rest of his attempts. With 102 games of regular-season kicking experience under his belt, Gay looks like the early favorite in the competition against the undrafted rookie Matsuzawa.

Raiders' Matt Gay: In camp battle against rookie
Rotowire
Gay is set to compete with Kansei Matsuzawa for the Raiders' kicking role in training camp, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
The Raiders moved on from Daniel Carlson after the 2025 season and subsequently brought in the veteran Gay and the rookie Matsuzawa. Gay converted 81 of 101 field-goal attempts over the previous three seasons, split between the Colts, 49ers and Commanders. Matsuzawa is coming off a stellar season at Hawaii, where he made 27 of 29 field-goal attempts in 2025.

Raiders' Matt Gay: Moving to Vegas
Rotowire
Gay is set to sign with the Raiders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Gay began last season with Washington but was cut in mid-November after going 13-for-19 on field-goal tries. He then signed with San Francisco and went a perfect 8-for-8 on field-goal attempts, but he was just holding down the fort in the absence of Eddy Pineiro and was ultimately cut upon Pineiro's return. Gay's signing likely means that Daniel Carlson, who is an unrestricted free agent, won't return to Las Vegas after eight seasons with the franchise.

49ers' Matt Gay: Returns to practice squad
Rotowire
The 49ers reverted Gay to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
With Eddy Pineiro missing the past two weeks due to a hamstring injury, Gay has stepped in and gone 4-for-4 on field goals as well as 4-for-4 on PATs. San Francisco is on bye Week 14 and Pineiro is trending toward active status when the team returns to action Week 15, so Gay's tenure as the club's kicker may have come to an end.

49ers' Matt Gay: Perfect on four kicks in win
Rotowire
Gay converted both of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in the 49ers' 26-8 win over the Browns on Sunday.
Elevated from the practice squad for the second straight week after he was cut by the Commanders following Week 11, Gay is now a perfect four-for-four on field goals and four-for-four on extra points across two games with San Francisco. It's unclear if Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) will be ready to return to kicking duties when the Niners come out of their Week 14 bye.

Commanders' Matt Gay: Misses two kicks in Madrid
Rotowire
Gay went 2-for-4 on field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point try during the Commanders' 16-13 overtime loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Both of Gay's misses came from 51 and 56 yards in the second and fourth quarters, respectively, but they turned out to be crucial misses in what was a close affair in Madrid, Spain. It was the second time this season that the veteran kicker missed two field goals in a game, and he is now 4-for-9 on field-goal attempts from 50-plus yards. Gay is now 13-for-19 on field-goal attempts and 22-for-22 on extra-point tries through 10 regular-season games.

Commanders' Matt Gay: Accounts for four points in loss
Rotowire
Gay made his lone field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try in Sunday's loss to the Lions.
Gay's field goal came from 44 yards out, and the veteran kicker has now made 11 of 15 field-goal attempts and all 21 of his extra-point tries through nine games this season. In a down season for the Washington offense, Gay has minimal fantasy value, especially while Jayden Daniels (elbow) is injured.

Commanders' Matt Gay: Gets back to limited Thursday
Rotowire
Gay (back) was limited at Thursday's practice.
Gay missed the final session of Week 8 prep due to a back injury and then was ruled out ahead of Monday's eventual loss at Kansas City. Matthew Wright stepped in for Gay and made his only kick (a PAT), but the latter's return to practice three days later is a sign of progress for the seventh-year pro. Gay's listing on Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not he has a chance to play Sunday versus the Seahawks.

Commanders' Matt Gay: Ruled out for MNF
Rotowire
Gay (back) has been downgraded to out for Monday's game against the Chiefs.
Gay will miss Week 8 due to a lingering back injury, with Washington instead elevating Matthew Wright from the practice squad to handle placekicker duties. It remains to be seen whether Gay's injury could force him to miss any more time, but his next chance to take the field will come Week 9 at home against the Seahawks on Sunday, Nov. 2.

Commanders' Matt Gay: Sits
Rotowire
The good news is Gay played well in two starts for Marcus Mariota, who will start in Week 8 in place of the injured Jayden Daniels (hamstring). In Week 3 against Las Vegas and Week 4 at Atlanta, with Mariota under center, Gay scored at least 14 Fantasy points in each outing. But he's been quiet in the past three games against the Chargers, Bears and Cowboys with nine Fantasy points or less in each outing, including no field goal attempts at Dallas in Week 7. And the Chiefs are No. 4 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing kickers. Only three kickers have made multiple field goals against Kansas City and none in the past three games against Cam Little, Jake Bates and Daniel Carlson. I would sit Gay in the majority of leagues in this matchup.

Commanders' Matt Gay: Imperfect in Week 6
Rotowire
Gay went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his PATs in Monday night's 25-24 loss to the Bears.
Gay hit the left upright on a 50-yard field-goal try in the second quarter, missing his first kick since Week 3. The kicker later added a make from 53 yards to finish off the Commanders' first drive of the second half. Gay has gone 10-for-14 on field-goal attempts, including 4-for-7 from 50-plus yards, while making all 16 of his extra-point tries over six games this year.

Colts' Matt Gay: Active versus Titans
Rotowire
Gay, who had been listed as questionable with a neck injury, is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Titans.
After not practicing Wednesday and Thursday, Gay practiced fully Friday, setting the stage for the kicker to be available for Sunday's contest. In 13 games this season, Gay has recorded 95 points, while connecting on 24 of his 27 field-goal attempts and all 23 of his extra-point tries, a pace that puts him on the fantasy radar in deeper leagues ahead of the next wave of Week 16 action.
