• Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Sixth in total FGM in 2024

  01/08/2025 • By RotoWire

  Carlson converted both of his field-goal attempts and each of his two extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Chargers. Carlson added boots from 40 and 47 yards in the Raiders' season finale to close out his 2024 campaign with an 85 percent make rate on field-goal attempts, his lowest mark since 2019. He ultimately converted 34 of 40 FGA, notably remaining perfect from the 20-39-yard range on 21 total attempts, so his only misses came from 40-plus. He also contributed 23 extra points on 25 tries. Despite the slight dip in FG percentage, the soon-to-be 30-year-old continues to provide Las Vegas with one of the more reliable legs across the league as he enters the final year of his current contract with the team in 2025.

  12/31/2024 • By RotoWire

  Carlson converted all four of his field-goal attempts and one of two extra-point tries in Sunday's 25-10 win over the Saints. Carlson contributed 13 total points before his XP attempt on the Raiders' final touchdown of the game was blocked in the fourth quarter. His otherwise impressive performance was highlighted by a 54-yard make, improving to seven of 11 on FG attempts from 50-plus yards this season. Carlson could have more chances to add to this tally if the Raiders offense stalls often against a stout Chargers defense in Week 18.

  Carlson converted two of three field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try in Sunday's 19-14 win over the Jaguars. Carlson's contributions were highlighted by a 49-yard field goal early in the second quarter en route to his seven-point final tally, though he missed wide right from 46 yards in the second half.

• Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Nails 52-yard FG on MNF

  12/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Carlson converted his only field-goal attempt in Monday's 15-9 loss to the Falcons, but his lone extra-point try was blocked. Carlson booted a 52-yard field goal to put the Raiders' first three points on the board early in the second quarter, but his extra-point attempt later in the fourth was blocked. This offense could benefit from quarterback Aidan O'Connell's (knee) potential return for a Week 16 matchup against the Jaguars, which would improve Carlson's outlook as a reliable kicking option.

  12/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Carlson converted both of his field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Buccaneers. Carlson continues to benefit from head coach Antonio Pierce's take-the-points philosophy, connecting twice from inside 30 yards en route to the league-worst Raiders' 11th loss of the season. Carlson has now made six field goals within the 20-29 yard range alone throughout the last four weeks, and Las Vegas' offense could stall often again in Week 15 against the Falcons on Monday Night Football with quarterback Desmond Ridder likely under center.
