Carlson is one of the top kicker options available in Fantasy and should be drafted in the final two rounds of your draft. He has made over 90% of his kicks three seasons in a row and led the NFL in both field goal attempts and field goal makes in 2021. Carlson will kick in controlled conditions in 13 of 17 games, including all but one game after Thanksgiving. We are currently ranking him as if Jimmy Garoppolo will be the starting quarterback. If Garoppolo's foot isn't better by the start of training camp, Carlson could see a small dip in his ranking.
In 2022, Carlson became the first kicker to repeat as the top fantasy scorer at the position since Stephen Gostkowski in 2015. In fact, if we include his third-place finish in 2020, Carlson has scored 23 more fantasy points than any other kicker over the last three seasons. The 2018 fifth-round pick's success has stemmed from a combination of heavy volume and great accuracy. Carlson has converted 107 of a league-high 115 field goal attempts over the last three seasons. That 93% hit rate is tops in the league during that span. He also made 35 of 36 extra point attempts last season. The 28-year-old is arguably the league's best kicker and an elite fantasy option.
