Daniel Carlson Fantasy

Oakland Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson got off on the right foot in Monday's matchup versus the Broncos. He hit all three of his extra-point attempts as well as a 29-yard field goal to help his team cruise to a 24-16 victory in Week 1. Carlson finished the last ten games with the Silver and Black in 2018, setting a new franchise record with a 94% success rate. The fifth-round 2018 pick could find sneaky value this season at fantasy football's most overlooked position with the offense looking much more improved. Despite undesirable field conditions at the Coliseum, Carlson is in line for a busy week next Sunday when the Chiefs come to town.

Oakland Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson made good on three of his four field goal attempts in Thursday's preseason finale against the Seahawks. He hit a 43-yarder to cap the team's opening drive, but nailed the upright in his second attempt of the game from 42 yards out. The game was played under rainfall, so field conditions weren't ideal, but he did make his remaining two kicks finishing the preseason 7-for-8 in FG attempts. Carlson isn't an upper-echelon kicker to target in drafts but could be a sneaky option on this improving offense. He hit a team-record 94% of his kicks in ten games with the Silver and Black last year, and would be a valuable source for points in 2019 if he keeps a similar succession rate.

Oakland Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson lifted his team past the Green Bay Packers in Thursdays Week 3 preseason contest. On an 80-yard shortened field in Winnipeg, Carlson didnt have any problems kicking on the questionable turf nailing all three field goals including the game-winner from 33 yards out with eight seconds remaining. His other two kicks went for 40 and 42 yards, keeping his perfect preseason kicking percentage intact. The 2018 fifth-rounder was given the boot after Week 2 by the Vikings last season, but the Raiders have reaped the benefits of his new team-record 94% success rate since picking him up for the final 10 games of 2018. On this improving offense, Carlson could hold sneaky fantasy value for fantasy footballs most overlooked position.
