Who Should I Start? Daniel Carlson or Brandon Aubrey

Saturday, October 4, 7:24 PM

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson has seen his fantasy stock slide as the team's inconsistent offense limits scoring opportunities. Last week, a blocked field goal left Carlson with a single-digit performance, continuing a troubling trend for fantasy managers relying on him for steady production. With Geno Smith and the Raiders facing a tough Colts defense in Week 5, the likelihood of sustained drives and red-zone chances remains low. Carlson's leg strength and accuracy are undeniable, but fantasy owners need opportunities, and the Raiders' offensive struggles make him a risky option this week. For those seeking consistency at kicker, it may be wise to explore alternative streaming options until the Raiders can stabilize their offense and create the scoring chances Carlson needs to return to top-tier fantasy relevance.

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey will look to continue his electric pace in Week 5 against the New York Jets. Aubrey remains perfect on the season, making all nine of his field goal attempts and all 11 extra points. He currently ranks second among all kickers in fantasy points (12.3), trailing only Colts kicker Spencer Shrader. The Cowboys face the Jets in Week 5, who have allowed the most fantasy points to kickers so far in 2025. With Dallas' offense rolling and Aubrey's accuracy shining, the third-year kicker projects as the top option at his position this week.
