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.
