Maher connected on both his field-goal attempts and all four of his PATs in Sunday's overtime loss to the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
He booted field goals on back-to-back Dallas possessions in the third quarter to give the team a 27-10 lead, but the Jags stormed back late and eventually came away with a 40-34 victory. Maher continues to see plenty of extra points, but his inconsistent FG volume has meant he's only reached double-digit points twice in the last nine games. His impressive leg strength -- he's 9-for-11 on FG attempts from 50 yards or more, including a 53-yarder on Sunday -- does give him extra fantasy value in formats that reward longer field goals, however.

Maher converted both his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's win over the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
It's just the second time in the Cowboys' last seven games Maher has seen multiple FG attempts, but the team's offense has provided him with plenty of PAT opportunities -- he hasn't kicked fewer than three extra points in a game during that stretch. He'll remain a high-floor fantasy option heading into a Week 15 trip to Jacksonville.

Maher connected on six of seven extra point attempts in Sunday's 54-19 win over the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
He had one PAT blacked and missed out on another when the Cowboys went for two while the outcome of the game was still in doubt. The Dallas offense may be too efficient right now for Maher to have much of a fantasy ceiling -- he's seen at least four extra-point attempts in five straight games, but has zero FG attempts in three of them and only one (which he missed) in one of the other two. That distribution of opportunities isn't likely to change much in Week 14 against the lowly Texans.

Maher missed his only field-goal attempt but connected on all four of his extra points in Thursday's win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
His 46-yard miss in the fourth quarter didn't affect the final result, but it was his first misfire on a FG attempt of less than 50 yards all season. Maher is 22-for-22 on PATs over the last five games, giving him a steady fantasy floor, but he's seen more than one FG attempt only once during that stretch as the efficiency of the Dallas offense has limited his ceiling.

Maher connected on all four of his field goal attempts and all four of his PATs in Sunday's 40-3 win over the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
With the Cowboys' offense slipping into overdrive, Maher had plenty of chances to rack up points, but his most impressive feat came at the end of the second quarter. He booted a 60-yard field goal just as the clock expired on the half, only for the kick to get undone by a late replay call from upstairs. After CeeDee Lamb's catch was upheld, Maher calmly stepped up and drilled the 60-yarder again. The 33-year-old hasn't missed a kick since Week 6 and hasn't missed a field goal under 50 yards all season, giving him both a solid floor and impressive ceiling heading into Dallas' Thanksgiving clash with the Giants.

Maher converted all four of his extra-point attempts but didn't see a field-goal attempt in Sunday's overtime loss to the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
For the second straight game, Maher failed to even get a chance to kick a field goal as Dallas efficiently turned red-zone trips into touchdowns and was aggressive on fourth down at the edge of Maher's range. The 32-year-old kicker has gone 11-for-11 on PATs in those two games, so he hasn't been without value, but his fantasy ceiling will remain capped until the Cowboys' offense begins to stall out once in a while. Maher saw multiple FG attempts in all five games Cooper Rush started, going 13-for-15 in total, but he's just 2-for-2 in Dak Prescott's four starts.

Maher connected on all seven of extra point attempts in Sunday's 49-29 win over the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Despite not getting any field goal attempts, Maher still wound up with solid production by virtue of sheer volume. The 32-year-old kicker's prior career high for PATs in a single game was five, set in Week 1 of the 2019 season, and with Dak Prescott back under center and the Cowboys' offense regaining its swagger, Maher figures to be plenty busy in the second half of the season.

Maher connected on his only field-goal attempt and all three of his PATs in Sunday's win over the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
It's the first time since Week 1 that Maher hasn't seen multiple FG attempts, and perhaps not coincidentally, that was also the last time Dak Prescott was under center. The three extra points were a season high though, and if a more efficient Cowboys offense trades some of the former for the latter, Maher should still see enough volume to have a steady fantasy floor.

Maher connected on both his extra points and one of two field-goal attempts during Sunday's 26-17 loss to the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
The fourth-quarter miss from 59 yards out had the distance but drifted wide right, and it would have brought the Cowboys to within one score with a little over a minute left in the game. Maher has missed only three kicks -- two of 16 field goals and one of nine PATs -- through six games, and he could see a spike in opportunities in Week 7 against the Lions if Dak Prescott (thumb) is able to return to action.

Maher connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and his only PAT in a Week 5 win over the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
He produced the only points in the second half on two FGs, as the Cowboys' defense dominated after intermission. Maher has connected on multiple field goals in each of Cooper Rush's four starts, and he could be busy again in Week 6 against the undefeated Eagles in an NFC East showdown.
