  • Anders Carlson Not On Fantasy Radar Against Steelers

    Headshot for Anders Carlson

    Green Bay Packers kicker Anders Carlson will go on the road to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 10. The rookie has missed two field goals over the past three weeks and has converted multiple in three of eight games this year. The Packers offense is one of the worst in the league, and it has made the 25-year-old kicker impossible to trust for fantasy. This game against Pittsburgh has one of the lowest implied point totals of the week, capping Carlson's already low ceiling. Until we see Green Bay's offense start to score more often, there is no reason to force a rookie kicker into your fantasy lineups or DFS tournaments. Leave Carlson on the bench in favor of a better option this week.

  • Anders Carlson Off The Fantasy Radar Against Rams

    Headshot for Anders Carlson

    Green Bay Packers kicker Anders Carlson will take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 9. The rookie kicker has not been a relevant fantasy option many times this year and will continue to be off the radar this week against the Rams. Even though the matchup is great for fantasy kickers, the Packers offense is in shambles and makes Carlson extremely tough to trust. He has converted just four extra points in the past three games and has just two games with more than one field goal made. This will likely be a low-scoring affair, and Carlson should not be an option for fantasy managers unless he proves otherwise multiple weeks in a row. Leave the rookie on the waiver wire in favor of a better option this week.

  • Anders Carlson Nothing More Than A Floor Play In Week 8

    Headshot for Anders Carlson

    Green Bay Packers kicker Anders Carlson will take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8. The rookie missed his first field goal attempt of the season last week against the Denver Broncos and ended up with only a couple of fantasy points to his name by the end of the contest. Carlson has hit double-digit fantasy points in just one game all season and has made multiple field goals in just two games. There are far too many options available this week that you can start over Carlson, but if you are forced to play him, you should at least have a low floor to count on if the Packers find the end zone multiple times.

  • Anders Carlson A Viable Streaming Option In Week 7

    Headshot for Anders Carlson

    Green Bay Packers kicker Anders Carlson will take on the Broncos in Denver in Week 7. The rookie is coming off of his second-straight multi-field goal attempt performance and now has the chance to provide fantasy managers with a relatively safe streaming option in a week with six teams on bye. The Denver Broncos have given up the most points all season to opposing offenses. Not only that, but they have also allowed the ninth-most field goal attempts and conversions in the league. Carlson is typically off the streaming radar, but this week's matchup dictates that fantasy managers can stream him in a pinch for those looking to replace their kicker, who is potentially on bye.

  • Anders Carlson A Floor Play In Week 5

    Headshot for Anders Carlson

    Green Bay Packers kicker Anders Carlson will go on the road to take on the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night. The rookie attempted multiple field goals for the first time this season last week against the Detroit Lions, putting up his second-highest fantasy performance so far. With that said, this matchup against Las Vegas is not great for fantasy kickers. The Raiders are not keeping opposing offenses out of the red zone when in scoring range this season, capping the 25-year-old upside. Multiple extra point conversions are almost guaranteed, but Anders remains a desperation streaming option of the lowest quality in Week 5.

  • Anders Carlson Off The Fantasy Radar Against Detroit

    Headshot for Anders Carlson

    Green Bay Packers kicker Anders Carlson will take on the division-rival Detroit Lions in Week 4 on Thursday night. The rookie has seen his fantasy output drop each week since the start of the season and has never attempted more than one field goal in a game thus far. With Detroit's defense much improved compared to recent years and this matchup happening on a short week, Carlson is best left on the waiver wire in favor of better options. His ceiling is capped with how well the Packers are finding the end zone in scoring range, and he could have a more challenging time scoring even a solid baseline of fantasy points if he kicks just a couple of extra points. Look for a better option in Week 4.

  • Anders Carlson Not On The Streaming Radar In Week 3

    Headshot for Anders Carlson

    Green Bay Packers kicker Anders Carlson will face the New Orleans Saints in Week 3. The rookie has attempted just two field goals in 2023 and has nailed all eight extra-point attempts. Carlson has a shallow ceiling in Week 3 against the vaunted Saints' defense. New Orleans ranks in the top 10 against most fantasy position groups and will likely keep the Packers out of scoring range for the majority of the contest. With a much easier schedule upcoming for Green Bay, the 25-year-old kicker could be a streaming option in the future. With that said, leave him on the waiver wire in Week 3 and look for a better streaming option.

  • Anders Carlson Hits One Field Goal In Week 2 Loss

    Headshot for Anders Carlson

    Green Bay Packers kicker Anders Carlson hit one field goal from 33 yards away and converted all three of his extra point attempts during the team's 25-24 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The rookie came back to earth after his stellar NFL debut. The Packers offense may have scored three times through the air, but the drives that ended in scoring range were few and far between in Week 2. Carlson has value as a streamer in plus matchups, but his weekly scoring floor is low and makes him risky. There are likely better options on your waiver wire to pick up each week, but Carlson will be in consideration from time to time. Next week's matchup against the New Orleans Saints is one to avoid.

  • Anders Carlson - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

    Headshot for Anders Carlson

    Green Bay Packers kicker Anders Carlson will go on the road to take on the Atlanta Falcons this Sunday. After a successful NFL debut last week, where he nailed a 52-yard field goal, the rookie will look to build on his success and could be busy against Atlanta. The Falcons were able to hold the Panthers to just 10 points in their season opener but will have a tougher time against a Packers offense that just put up 38 points against the Chicago Bears. If the Packers can get into scoring position as often as they did last week, Anders has a solid fantasy floor heading into Week 2 with the chance to finish inside the top 10 if he can nail a few field goals. There are better options likely on the waiver wire to pivot to, but the rookie kicker can be started in a pinch this weekend.

  • Anders Carlson Hits 52-Yard Field Goal In Win Over Bears

    Headshot for Anders Carlson

    Green Bay Packers kicker Anders Carlson nailed a 52-yard field goal and converted all five of his extra point attempts during the team's 38-20 victory over the Chicago Bears Sunday. The Packers routed Chicago, especially in the second half, leading to just one field goal attempt for the rookie kicker in his NFL debut. Even still, Carlson was perfect in his debut and had a solid fantasy outing. It is still too early to get excited about the fantasy potential of the Packers kicker, but a few more top-tier performances from this offense, and we may have another solid streaming option to turn to in 2023. Carlson will be in consideration next week against the Atlanta Falcons.

  • Anders Carlson Better Left Out Of Lineups

    Headshot for Anders Carlson

    Green Bay Packers kicker Anders Carlson will travel to Chicago to take on the Bears this Sunday. The rookie will make his NFL debut in a decent matchup against a less-than-stellar Bears defense. Chicago allowed the most points in the entire league in 2022, and while the defense is improved, they are not projected to be top-tier by any stretch. With that said, it is better to play it safe and leave the sixth-round NFL draft pick on the waiver wire to open the fantasy season. Carlson could become a viable streaming option down the road, but we need to see what he can do in the pros when the pressure is on before starting him. On top of that, the Packers are missing their top pass catcher, Christian Watson (hamstring), and could be without their No. 2 target, Romeo Doubs (hamstring). Leaving Carlson on waives is the safe bet this week.
