Daniel Carlson Not Getting Many Kick Opportunities For Raiders
2 months agoLas Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson got just one field goal opportunity in the Raiders' Week 3 blowout loss to the Carolina Panthers. Carlson missed his only field goal attempt but was 2-for-2 on extra-point attempts. He will look to rebound in Sunday’s matchup against the Cleveland Browns. The Raiders offense has now failed to get much going outside of garbage time in Week 1 and Week 3, and this isn't good news for Carlson. His 57-yard field goal miss was forgivable, and he hasn't missed any of his field goals from inside the 40-yard line, but he's hitting just 71.4% of his attempts on the season. Carlson isn't startable in fantasy. Carlson won't have many opportunities if the Raiders keep falling behind in games, only to attempt to salvage points in garbage time. The Raiders will likely continue to attempt two-point conversions rather than extra points in garbage time, which makes things worse. Carlson is a safe drop and isn't worth picking up or starting against Cleveland until the Raiders' offense becomes more consistent.
