Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson remains a low-upside option for fantasy owners despite a potentially favorable Week 6 matchup against the Titans. The Raiders' offense has struggled to sustain drives, posting the league's second-highest turnover rate at 18.5%, and quarterback Geno Smith's inconsistency compounds Carlson's limited scoring opportunities. Even in games with red zone chances, the Raiders' inefficiency reduces Carlson's fantasy ceiling, making him a risky play. Until Las Vegas' offense becomes more consistent and turnover-prone plays are minimized, Carlson is unlikely to provide the reliable fantasy production owners hope for, and those with stronger options at the position should continue looking elsewhere for week-to-week stability.

New York Giants kicker Jude McAtamney is a risky option in Week 6, offering a low floor for the Thursday night matchup against the Eagles. In his two starts this season, the international kicker has scored nine fantasy points, making 2 of 2 field goals (long of 31 yards) and 3 of 3 extra points, but he failed to register a single field goal attempt in Week 5. The Giants' implied total for this game is one of the lowest of the week, and the Philadelphia defense ranks 30th in fantasy points allowed to kickers (11.4 FPTS/G), which suggests the Eagles are an ideal opponent to generate scoring opportunities. Despite his perfect 100% field goal percentage this season, the Giants' struggling offense will likely keep McAtameny's attempts down, making him a bench option until the offense proves capable of moving the ball reliably.
