2024 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Slightly regresses in 2023
Carlson converted both of his field-goal attempts and three extra-point tries in the Raiders' Week 18 win over the Broncos, ultimately finishing the 2023 campaign with 26 total field goals made on 30 attempts to go along with 32 extra points on as many tries.
ANALYSIS
Carlson nailed less than 33 field goals while posting a sub-90 percent conversion rate in a single season for the first time since 2019, notching just 110 total points across 17 games in 2023. Nonetheless, he remains one of the more reliable kickers around the league, and Carlson has two years remaining on his current contract with the Raiders.

Carlson has earned a lofty spot in the kicker rankings on account of his own prowess more so than expectations for his offense. The Raiders were a disappointment in Year 1 of the Josh McDaniels era, and Year 2 improvement is far from guaranteed with Jimmy Garoppolo the new quarterback. Carlson, however, is unquestionably phenomenal, ranking third all-time in FG percentage while converting a ridiculous 24 of 29 attempts from 50-plus yards. He's had a little more trouble in the 40-49 range (33 of 44), but only by his own lofty standards. Carlson is the only kicker with 30 or more FG conversions each of the last three seasons, knocking home at least 33 each year.
