Bills Today | Tyler Bass earns national recognition for his Week 7 performance Here are three things to know about the Bills for Tuesday, Oct. 27
Record-setting day Bass made six of eight field-goal attempts in Buffalo's 18-10 win over the Jets on Sunday.
Impact The misses were not pretty and could have led to an embarrassing defeat for the Bills in what was a surprisingly close game most of the afternoon. But the rookie sixth-rounder pushed through and ended up making kicks of 53, 48, 46, 37, 29 and 40 yards. In the process, Bass tied the NFL record for field-goal attempts in a game and became the first rookie to have eight attempts in an outing.

One ugly miss Bass was 1-for-2 on field-goal tries and made both of his extra-point attempts in Monday's loss to the Chiefs.
Impact The miss was on a 52-yarder to end the half and was wide enough right to say the golfer's equivalent would be pushing a drive all the way over to the other fairway. The rookie was true on his other three attempts, which all in all isn't too bad on a chilly, misty day, Bass's first experience with Buffalo's sometimes inclement weather. After six weeks, Bass sits in a tie for 23rd in fantasy kicker scoring with 36 points. Part of that is due to the team's 73.9 red-zone touchdown percentage.

Perfect in lopsided loss Bass made his only field-goal attempt -- a 43-yarder -- and his only extra-point try during Tuesday's loss to the Titans.
Impact Bass could have had one more point, but the Bills did some strategizing and tried to go for two when they scored a fourth-quarter TD and were down by 12. Bass has been pretty true following some Week 1 hiccups by making all three of his field-goals tries between Weeks two and five while converting 13 of 14 extra-point attempts. The Bills' newly found successful offense has been strong in the red zone this season, however, which has kept Bass' attempts in check. He sits in a tie for 22nd in kicker scoring after five weeks, though we tend to think he stands a good chance to bump up from the spot as the Buffalo offense falls back toward the norm in red-zone success.

Misses extra point Bass made a 34-yard field goal and three of four extra-point attempts in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Raiders.
Impact The rookie sixth-rounder hasn't tried a field goal from beyond 40 yards yet this season, but that can be chalked up to the Bills' strong offensive efficiency. However, it's a bit concerning that Bass has attempted just two field goals over the past three weeks, so his fantasy value has been overly reliant on extra points. That's not a great recipe for success, but it may be worth holding onto a kicker tied to this offense.
OCTOBER 5, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Limited to extra points Bass made all five of his extra-point tries but didn't attempt a field goal in Sunday's 35-32 win over the Rams.
Impact Bass did all that was required of him on a day Buffalo scored all five of its touchdowns from inside the five-yard line. Such efficiency restricted Bass's potential production, but he nonetheless went a second straight week without a miss following his two misfires in Week 1. He's also been excellent on kickoffs, with 83.3 percent of them resulting in touchbacks.

Flawless Week 2 Bass connected on his only field-goal try -- a 39-yarder -- and made all four extra-point attempts in Sunday's win over Miami.
Impact The field goal was ultimately the difference in the 31-28 win, as Bass looked a lore more comfortable than a shaky Week 1 that might have had some questioning why he was kept over longtime veteran Stephen Hauschka. Bass should have some leash as an actual draft pick -- rare for a kicker -- though playing for a team that should be in contention this season and having a number of important games will mean he'll have to produce like he did in Week 2.

Posts first NFL points Bass was good on two of four field-goal attempts in Sunday's win over the Jets while converting all three of his extra-point attempts.
Impact The sixth-round rookie who beat out veteran Stephen Hauschka will certainly never forget his first NFL attempt, as replays showed the kick was actually good yet officials inexplicably ruled it as wide right. Bass's second attempt was well off, but he re-grouped to make two shorties (22 and 19) that provided valuable insurance for the Bills. While he looked a little shaky, posting nine points -- and having a legit excuse for one of his misses -- likely keeps Bass in the safe zone for now.

Only kicker in camp Bass is the Bills' only kicker following the release of Stephen Hauschka.
Impact It's not entirely surprising that Bass was kept after being drafted by the Bills in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He's thus poised to replace Hauschka, who had kicked for the team since 2017. The Georgia State product has a strong leg, but his fantasy upside as a rookie hinges on how well Buffalo's Josh Allen-helmed offense clicks this season.

Makes push in kicking competition Bass intensified the Bills' kicking competition with a strong performance in Thursday's practice, Mark Gaughan of The Buffalo News reports.
Impact Bass is currently aiming to displace veteran Bills kicker Stephen Hauschka ahead of his first NFL season. Although the sixth-rounder started the week with a few misses, his powerful leg was on display Thursday, when he converted six of seven field-goal attempts, including a couple from over 50 yards. In contrast, the 35-year-old Hauschka missed all three of his tries from that range, adding intrigue as the two continue to battle throughout training camp.
