Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson was 2-for-2 on his kicks on Sunday with one extra point and one 47-yard field goal. The Raiders struggled to move the ball after their opening drive in a 38-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. They only mustered 240 total offensive yards, including only two first downs on the ground. Carlson is one of the league's premier kickers, but without much opportunity, he remains a low-end kicking option.

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson has been a strong and steady leg across his six-year NFL career. The 28-year-old had a mundane start to the season last week, tallying one field goal and two extra points in a nail-biting win for the Raiders over the Broncos. Las Vegas has a matchup in Buffalo in Week 2. With a 47-point over/under and 19-point implied total for the Raiders, their offense is not expected to move the ball particularly well. Carlson's leg makes him a starting option in the majority of leagues every week, but the limitations of his offense limit his ceiling. He can be seen as a low-end starting kicker for fantasy managers this week.

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson hit on all three of his kicks in a 17-16 win against the Denver Broncos on Saturday, including a 24-yard field goal and two extra points. The Raiders could not move the ball overly well on offense, only mustering 261 total offensive yards. Carlson is a top-tier NFL kicker, albeit on a middle-of-the-road offense. Carlson and the Raiders travel to Buffalo next week to face off with the Bills. Fantasy managers should temper expectations in Week 2.

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson has built quite a resume in his first five seasons in the NFL after being drafted in the fifth round of the 2018 draft. Carlson has scored 23 more fantasy points than any other kicker over the last three seasons, including leading the league over that span in field goals (115) and accuracy (93% hit rate). The Raiders travel to Denver as four-point underdogs in Week 1, with an implied team total of 20 according to DraftKings Sportsbook. Carlson's steady volume and powerful leg make him an every-week start in fantasy.

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson completed a perfect preseason on Saturday night against the Dallas Cowboys, connecting on three field goals and one extra point, including a 62-yarder. Carlson struts into Week 1 having finished the preseason 7-for-7 on field goals and 9-for-9 on PATs. If the Raiders offense can move the ball down the field with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo the same or better than last year, Carlson will be a top kicking option for fantasy managers to start the season. He should be the second kicker off draft boards.

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson had a second successful showing on Saturday night against the Los Angeles Rams, connecting on two field goals to go along with a perfect four-of-four on PATs. If the Raiders offense can move the ball down the field this year as they have been so far this preseason, Carlson could factor in as a top kicking option for fantasy managers. Draft him with confidence.
