Daniel Carlson May Struggle To Make Impact Yet Again
3 months agoLas Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson scored just three fantasy points in his Week 1 debut against the Chargers, and it's unlikely the Raiders will be able to score more against a stout Baltimore Ravens defense in Week 2. Carlson enjoyed a great stretch from 2020-2022, finishing as a top-three kicker three years in a row. Still, the departure of QB Derek Carr has left the Raiders offense sputtering and providing few opportunities for Carlson to score. He made just 26 field goals in 2023, down from 34 in 2022, 40 in 2021 and 33 in 2020. Carlson is likely not startable when the Raiders play against such tough opponents. The Raiders easily have a bottom-10 (possibly worse) offense, and the Ravens have a top-5 defense in the league. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere on the waiver wire for a kicker streamer in Week 2.
