Who Should I Start? Daniel Carlson or Cade York

Saturday, September 23, 11:54 AM

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson has been stellar when called upon so far in 2023, the problem is that has not been often enough. The 27-year-old is two-for-two on field goals and three-for-three on extra points for a Las Vegas offense that ranks 31st in points and 30th in yards after two weeks. The Raiders welcome the Steelers to town on Sunday night, a team giving up 11.5 fantasy points to opposing kickers so far this year. Carlson is an incredible talent weighed down by a below-average offense, making him a low-end kicker for fantasy managers at this point in the season despite the promising matchup.

Veteran kicker Dustin Hopkins lost the Los Angeles Chargers starting kicker job to Cameron Dicker this preseason and is being traded to the Cleveland Browns for a 2025 seventh-round pick. Cade York has been waived in a corresponding move. Hopkins made 27 of his 30 field goal attempts as a Charger in 2021 and 2022, but a lower-body injury held him out of 12 games last season. If the Browns' offense takes a step forward in Deshaun Watson's second season with the organization, Hopkins could have plenty of upside in fantasy football. York could find a new home in short order.
