Catanzaro notched six extra points during Sunday's win at Detroit.

Catanzaro has received an NFL-high 24 point-after attempts this season, which is six more than the next closest kicker (the Bengals' Mike Nugent). The Cardinals have so far been incredibly efficient in the red-zone, scoring a touchdown in 77.3 percent of their red-zone visits. As a result, Catanzaro has been afforded only seven field goal tries, five of which occurred in Week 4's tight loss to the Rams, but he's nonetheless succeeded on all but one kick (an extra point in Week 2) in 2015.

Catanzaro nailed all four extra points and a 43-yard field goal during Sunday's victory versus the Saints.

The Cardinals converted all three red-zone trips into touchdowns, which aided a winning cause but capped Catanzaro's field goal opportunities to one. Because he averaged a shade above two field goals per game last season -- 33 tries in a complete campaign -- the pendulum should swing in his direction as the season rolls along, and perhaps as soon as Week 2 against the Bears, who forced the third-most FG attempts (49) in 2014.

Catanzaro made 5-of-8 field goals and 7-of-9 extra points in four preseason games.

Last season, Catanzaro kicked off his career by matching an NFL record, hitting 17 consecutive field goals. Among his 29 made as a rookie, the Clemson product nailed 12-of-14 from 40-plus yards, yet he made only 1-of-3 from that threshold in the preseason (all from greater than 50 yards, though one was blocked). Perhaps most intriguing was how he would fare from the longer extra-point distance, and his first miss didn't occur until Thursday's exhibition finale, when he misfired twice. In the aftermath, head coach Bruce Arians said, "He [Catanzaro] missed the first one, he slipped, then he overcompensated for the second one." With an intact Carson Palmer (knee) under center, Catanzaro should be handed plenty of opportunities to augment the offense.

Catanzaro converted 29-of-33 field goal attempts and all 27 extra points during the 2014 season.

Without weighing the distance of field goals, Catanzaro ranked 17th among kickers with 114 points on the year, which included an NFL record-tying 17 consecutive successful FGs to begin a career. His first misfire occurred in Week 10 just one play removed from Carson Palmer's season-ending ACL tear, an event that threw the Cardinals' offense into a tailspin. While Catanzaro was afforded 15 field goals over the final seven outings, nine of them occurred during a two-game stretch, ensuring his status as a boom-or-bust option. Nonetheless, he booted 12-of-14 from at least 40 yards, which fell into a tie for fifth-most makes from 40-plus this season and backed up his rate from such a distance in college (77.4 percent).

Catanzaro connected on all four field goals in Thursday's win at St. Louis. "I'm just glad I came through today," he relayed to the Cardinals' official site afterward. "I told myself, 'Don't fear failure.' I've got the fundamentals, got the tools, so just keep swinging. That's what I did. I just zoomed in on that target and banged them down the pipe. I'm really excited about this bounce-back right here."

Catanzaro took care of the entirety of the Cardinals' scoring in the 12-6 triumph, with the final three field goals from at least 40 yards. The perfect performance follows a bumpy five-game stretch in which he drilled just 5-of-9 opportunities, but after nine tries in the past two contests, he's once again a consideration in most leagues, assuming an offense helmed by Ryan Lindley or Logan Thomas can sustain drives long enough to reach field-goal range.

Catanzaro converted field goals of 44, 33, and 39 yards during Sunday's victory against the Chiefs, but his two other attempts nailed an upright and kept the Cardinals off the scoreboard.

The misses were well within the rookie's range, coming from 36 and 34 yards, which he deemed "inexcusable" after the game, according to the Cardinals' official site. After beginning his career with 17 consecutive successes, Catanzaro has since connected on only 5-of-9 field goals spread across the past four-plus contests. With one game remaining against each of his divisional foes, much of the fate of Arizona's playoff hopes could reside in his ability to sidestep recent foibles.

Catanzaro made his sole field goal attempt from 44 yards and one extra point during Sunday's defeat in Atlanta.

Catanzaro's career began with 17 consecutive successful field goals, tying an NFL record. However, since drilling his first attempt, a 43-yarder, in Week 10, he's been afforded only four tries, making two. While his miscues during that stretch came from 53 and 49 yards, which are never sure things, he's totaled just 20 points in the past five games. Such production won't cut it with the fantasy playoffs imminent, but with the Chiefs' stout defense on tap Sunday, he could bounce back against a squad that has given up 9.8 points per contest to kickers over the last four weeks.

Catanzaro nailed 1-of-2 field goals and all four extra points during Sunday's win against the Rams.

Catanzaro hit his first field goal attempt of the day from 43 yards, which matched Kai Forbath's record 17 consecutive successes to begin a career. However, Catanzaro's miss was immediately preceded by Carson Palmer's season-ending knee injury, so the situation wasn't exactly ideal to crush a 53-yarder through the uprights. At the moment, Catanzaro sits among the Top 12 in terms of points per game, which assures him a spot in the vast majority of leagues.

Catanzaro remained perfect on the season, nailing three extra points and a game-clinching, 41-yard field goal during Sunday's victory in Oakland.

Until the waning seconds -- 29 to be exact -- Catanzaro's chances of matching the rookie record of successful field goal attempts to begin a season appeared as if it would be delayed until Week 8 against the Eagles. After Sunday's sole make, though, he sits two shy of the NFL record set by Kai Forbath in 2012. Because the Eagles have yielded two field goal attempts per game this season -- but zero since Week 4 -- Catanzaro has a decent shot to join the league's annals on Sunday afternoon.

Catanzaro drilled all three field goals and three extra points during Sunday's win against Washington.

Catanzaro's three opportunities to remain perfect in his rookie campaign came from 33, 49, and 37 yards, and he succeeded to settle at 14-for-14 on the season. The longest such streak to begin a career is 15 consecutive field goals by Greg Zuerlein in 2012, meaning Catanzaro could set the standard in the near future. While Catanzaro ranks in the Top 8 among kickers in points scored (50), of equal importance to the Cardinals has been his kickoffs and the subsequent field-position battle. Of the 29 through five games, the coverage unit has held the opposition inside the 20-yard line 26 times, including 20 touchbacks.

Catanzaro converted both his field goal attempts Sunday against the Broncos.

Catanzaro remains a perfect 11-for-11 on field goal attempts this season through just four games. The rookie is quickly becoming one of the better fantasy options, and with Carson Palmer returning at some point, could receive even more chances with an expected increase in offensive output. However, he has been the beneficiary of the Cardinals' inability to finish drives, having made just five extra points.

Catanzaro was true on four field goals and one extra point in Sunday's victory versus the Giants at New York.

Connecting from 49, 37, 32, and 33 yards, the rookie kicker out of Clemson remained perfect on the season, placing Catanzaro in a tie for second in the league, with six field goals made through two games. His long-range proficiency is evident, as he's struck two from 40-plus, and because the Cardinals may be forced to trot out quarterback Drew Stanton again in place of Carson Palmer (shoulder), Catanzaro is a good bet to be handed numerous field goal chances this coming Sunday against the 49ers.

Catanzaro nailed two field goals (from 22 and 44 yards) and knocked in four extra points during Monday's win against the Chargers.

As the Cardinals approached the red zone on their second drive of the game, Andre Ellington fumbled his third carry of the game at the Chargers' 25-yard line, marking the sole missed opportunity for the rookie kicker. Otherwise, Catanzaro continued to kick with confidence, while sending the majority of his kickoffs well into the end zone. He's upholding his standard of kicking well from 40-plus yards at Clemson (24-of-31, for a 77.4-percent success rate).
