Who Should I Start? Matt Prater or Daniel Carlson

Saturday, September 30, 2:13 AM

In Week 4, fantasy managers should keep a close eye on Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater as he lines up against the San Francisco 49ers. Prater has been remarkable over the first three weeks of the season, boasting a total of 32 fantasy points. In Weeks one and three, Prater nailed 12 fantasy points against a pair of solid defenses in Washington and Dallas. His powerful kicks combined with a Cardinals' offense that will most likely have trouble moving the ball against a formidable San Francisco defense could result in a solid week for the veteran. As an above-average option at the kicking position, don't be afraid to start him.

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.
