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.

Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Makes two field goals in loss
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.

Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Inaccurate in Friday's loss
Rotowire
Carlson made one of four field-goal tries and converted both of his extra-point attempts Friday in a Week 13 loss to Kansas City.
Carlson came into the contest with just two misses on 24 field-goal tries on the season, but he uncharacteristically struggled to kick the ball between the uprights Friday. His only successful field goal came from a meager 27 yards out, while he missed from 56, 55 and 58 yards. Of course, those are long, difficult attempts even in Friday's kicking environment, so it's very doubtful that Carlson's inaccuracy in this one will put his job in any danger.

Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Makes two short FGs in loss
Rotowire
Carlson made both of his field-goal attempts and converted his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 34-19 loss to the Dolphins.
Carlson connected from 27 and 22 yards in the first half before tacking on an extra point late in the fourth quarter, bringing his tally to seven points for the contest. He's a perfect 13 of 13 on field-goal attempts since Week 4, but scoring chances could remain limited for Las Vegas against a stout Broncos defense in Week 12.

Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Six-point effort Sunday
Rotowire
Carlson converted his only field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Bengals.
Carlson hasn't missed a field-goal attempt since Week 3, and an uninspiring Raiders offense that will likely feature either Gardner Minshew or Desmond Ridder at the helm following a Week 10 bye could struggle to score touchdowns against the Dolphins in Week 11.

Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Boots 54-yard FG in loss
Rotowire
Carlson converted both of his field-goal attempts and tacked on a pair of extra points in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs.
Carlson booted a 54-yard field goal to give the Raiders a 10-7 lead early in the second quarter, and he added a 32-yard make in the second half. He's accrued 23 total points over Las Vegas' last two games, but Carlson will be kicking without a roof for the first time since Week 5 when the Raiders head outdoors to Cincinnati in Week 9.

Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Racks up 15 points in loss
Rotowire
Carlson converted all five of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams.
Carlson was the only Raider to put points on the board in this contest, rebounding from a slow Week 6 outing in which he attempted just one extra point all game against the Steelers. A tough test awaits for this Las Vegas offense with Gardner Minshew at the helm versus the Chiefs in Week 8, but Carlson remains steady when given the opportunity to boot it through the uprights.

Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Zero FG attempts in Week 6 loss
Rotowire
Carlson converted his only extra-point try in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Steelers.
The Raiders did not attempt a single field goal in a game for the first time this season Sunday, leaving Carlson with just one tally in the box score on an extra point that came after a three-yard Alexander Mattison rushing touchdown on the team's opening drive. Carlson could have more opportunities to put points on the board in a friendlier matchup against the Rams at SoFi Stadium in Week 7.

Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Makes 40-yard field goal Sunday
Rotowire
Carlson converted his only field-goal attempt and made his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 34-18 loss to the Broncos.
Carlson connected from 40 yards to give the Raiders a 10-0 lead heading into the second quarter, but that would mark his final chance to put points on the board as the offense elected for a two-point conversion upon scoring late in the fourth quarter. It could be another low-scoring affair for this team in Week 6 against a stout Steelers defense.

Raiders' Daniel Carlson: No good from 57 in Week 3 loss
Rotowire
Carlson missed his only field-goal attempt in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Panthers, but he made both of his extra-point tries.
Carlson was unable to convert from 57 yards out with time expiring in the first half, ultimately sending the Raiders to the locker room with a 14-point deficit just one week after he tallied 14 points of his own in an upset victory over the Ravens. Carlson will look to bounce back from the underwhelming output in Sunday's home opener when Las Vegas hosts the Browns in Week 4.

Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Misses 49-yard attempt in loss
Rotowire
Carlson made one of two field-goal attempts and converted his only extra-point try in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Chargers.
Carlson opened his 2024 campaign on the wrong foot with a wide-right miss from 49 yards out late in the third quarter, but he quickly rebounded with a 32-yard make on the Raiders' very next drive to salvage a four-point day. An even more difficult matchup awaits outdoors in Baltimore against the Ravens in Week 2, and the Raiders' offensive concerns further limit Carlson's ceiling.

Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Slightly regresses in 2023
Rotowire
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.
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.

Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Zero attempts against former team
Rotowire
Carlson did not attempt a kick in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Vikings.
Carlson managed to suit up Sunday despite dealing with an illness that impacted his practice participation earlier in the week, but he wasn't given the chance to attempt a single kick against his former team as the stout Vikings defense stymied the Raiders offense.

Rotowire
Carlson made all three of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 16-12 win over the Jets.
Carlson appears to be past the minor groin injury that impacted his practice participation from late October into early November, making three field goals in back-to-back contests the past two weeks. Carlson's Sunday Night Football performance was highlighted by a 54-yard field goal as time expired at the end of the first half, marking his first 50-plus yard conversion of the season. The Raiders now travel to Miami for a Week 11 matchup against the Dolphins.

Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Buries three field goals Sunday
Rotowire
Carlson converted all three of his field-goal attempts and a trio of extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Giants.
Carlson didn't let the groin injury that kept him limited in practice throughout the week bother him Sunday, tallying 12 total points for his second-best output of the season through nine games, notably making two of his field goals from 40-plus yards. Although Las Vegas' offense might've shown signs of improvement upon the firing of coach Josh McDaniels and with Aidan O'Connell's promotion to starting quarterback, a tough test awaits Week 10 as a stingy Jets defense arrives to town.

Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Gains clearance for Week 9
Rotowire
Carlson (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
Carlson's good to go despite being limited in all three of Vegas' practices during the week. The offense trying to get him in position for kicks will be quarterbacked by rookie Aidan O'Connell after the Raiders benched Jimmy Garoppolo and fired coach Josh McDaniels in the week leading up to the team's Week 9 matchup with the Giants.
