Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Converts game-winner Week 1
Rotowire
Sanders converted two of three field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Jaguars.
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.

Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Little doing in wild-card loss
Rotowire
Sanders converted his only extra-point try during Saturday's 26-7 wild-card loss to the Chiefs.
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.

Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Quiet end to impressive season
Rotowire
Sanders did not attempt a field goal during Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Bills. He converted both extra-point tries.
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.

Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Bright spot in embarrassing loss
Rotowire
Sanders converted both of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try during Sunday's 56-19 loss to Baltimore.
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.

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.

Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Misses one kick in win over Raiders
Rotowire
Sanders converted two of three field-goal attempts and both his extra-point tries during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Raiders.
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. He could see more field-goal opportunities than usual during Sunday's divisional matchup against the Jets, a team that thrives on creating low-scoring affairs -- New York's defense has held opponents below 20 points on six occasions this season.

Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Kicker to Sit
Rotowire
Despite playing on one of the best offenses in the NFL, Sanders is not a great Fantasy kicker. He only has two games this season with at least 10 Fantasy points and none since Week 3. He's only made three field goals in his past seven games. The Raiders have been feast or famine against opposing kickers as three kickers have made at least three field goals and six have made one or less. Given Sanders' track record, I would look to avoid him in Week 11, even at home.

Rotowire
Sanders converted his only field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries during Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Eagles.
Sanders has now been perfect in five straight games for Miami, though a game script that saw the team trail the Eagles from the outset on Sunday Night Football wasn't beneficial to his prospects.

Sanders didn't attempt a field goal during Sunday's 70-20 win over the Broncos. He converted all 10 of his extra-point tries.
Sanders finished Week 3 with what will likely be the strangest stat line of his career courtesy of a Miami offense that exhibited complete mastery over a Denver defense that was outmatched in attempting to contain coach Mike McDaniel's inventive scheme. The Dolphins have what promises to be a more competitive affair on deck Week 4 against the Bills. Sanders attempted three field goals in each of Miami's first two games of the season.
