2025 Fantasy Outlook
Carlson's career 87.5 percent conversion rate on field goals is fourth all-time, and he's made 74.4 percent of his kicks from 50-plus yards. He's consistently been a top kicker in real life, but that doesn't necessarily equate to top-10 value in fantasy, as lack of volume on a bad team can outweigh the impact of personal skill. Carlson finished 10th among kickers in fantasy points last season, after being t-25th in 2023 and No. 2 in 2022. He's good enough to be an every-week starter in fantasy if the Raiders offense is even decent, like in 2022, which may happen thanks to an offseason trade for QB Geno Smith. Anything beyond 'decent' is a long shot, as Smith seemingly lacks a deep threat and reliable blocking to support short-game-weapons Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $18.4 million contract with Raiders in December of 2021.
Misses long kick Sunday
Carlson went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts in Sunday's 40-6 loss to the Colts.
ANALYSIS
The kicker missed wide right on a 57-yard attempt as time expired in the first half, though he did make field goals from 24 and 37 yards, respectively. Carlson is now 9-for-12 on field-goal tries and a perfect 6-for-6 on extra points this season. Between the misses and a Raiders offense that has yet to score more than 24 points this year, Carlson is not one of the better kicking options in fantasy football at the moment.

Carlson is a fantastic kicker who has put up some big seasons while attached to mediocre offenses, but he wasn't able to overcome difficult circumstances in 2023, finishing just 25th at the position in fantasy scoring despite making all his PATs (32) and missing only four field goals (26 of 30). He was the highest-scoring kicker in 2021 and No. 2 in 2022, converting 17 of 20 attempts from 50-plus yards between the two seasons. He's hit 78.1 percent of his kicks from that distance in his career and 88.0 percent overall (fifth all-time), but a return to fantasy relevance in his age-29 season is far from guaranteed given the Raiders' continued uncertainty at QB.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May get extension
Carlson is a candidate to get a contract extension from Las Vegas, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old kicker is coming off another strong campaign, converting at least 85 percent of his field-goal attempts for the fifth straight season and the sixth time in seven years as the Raiders' primary placekicker. Carlson's seven made field goals of 50 yards or longer on 11 attempts was also the second-best performance of his career from long range, bested only by an 11-for-13 effort in 2022. He has one year and $4.35 million remaining on his current contract.
