Who Should I Start? Daniel Carlson or Parker Romo

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson hasn't been able to offer fantasy managers much value over the last few weeks. Over the last three games, Carlson is 1-for-2 on field goal attempts, while making 3-of-4 extra point attempts. The 30-year-old hasn't been great this season, but he also doesn't get a ton of chances. The promising news is that Carlson is heading into a favorable matchup in Week 11. The Raiders will face off against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. The Cowboys have struggled to contain anyone this season, so the Raiders should be able to get into scoring position. Carlson isn't an ideal fantasy option, but he should offer better value than he has the past few weeks.

Atlanta Falcons kicker Parker Romo is an option for fantasy managers in Week 8's matchup with the Dolphins on Sunday. The 28-year-old is just 4-for-7 over the last four games after a 5-for-5 performance against the Vikings in Week 2, although his three misses were from 49 yards, 55 yards, and one was blocked. Romo draws a favorable matchup in Week 8, as the Falcons are favored by more than a touchdown with an implied point total of 26. It is also a home game, so there will be no weather to contend with. Additionally, Miami has yielded the third-most fantasy points to opposing kickers and is allowing over 29 points per game this season, so chalk Romo up as a viable kicking option for Sunday's contest, although he ranks just outside the top 12.
