No kicks in Week 15
Carlson did not attempt a field goal or a PAT in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Carlson has now gone without a field-goal try for the second time in three weeks while making one or zero field goals in seven of the last eight games overall. The kicker has limited upside while operating with a struggling Las Vegas offense, and he hasn't necessarily done himself any favors this season, going 17-for-22 on field-goal attempts, including 3-for-6 from 50-plus yards, over 14 contests so far.

Makes his kicks Sunday
Carlson went 1-of-1 on field-goal tries and 2-of-2 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: The kicker hit a meaningless 46-yarder as time expired in the fourth quarter. Carlson was perfect for the second week in a row and the third time in four games, but he's just not getting a lot of opportunities in one of the league's worst offenses. The eighth-year pro has attempted just 18 extra points in 13 games this season.

Analysis: Carlson went without a field-goal try for the second time this season and first time since Week 7.

Makes four kicks in Week 11 loss
Carlson converted all three of his field-goal tries and his lone extra-point attempt in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Carlson kept the Raiders somewhat competitive early on with three first-half field goals, including a long conversion of 45 yards. He then added a point-after attempt on the Raiders' lone touchdown early in the fourth quarter.

Carlson missed his only field-goal attempt and made his only extra-point try in Thursday night's 10-7 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Carlson had a chance to tie the game with 4:30 left in the fourth quarter, but he missed his 48-yard field-goal try wide right, leaving the Raiders trailing by a 10-7 margin. The kicker finished without a field goal make for the second time in the last three contests as a result. Carlson has now gone 12-for-16 on field-goal attempts, including 3-for-6 from 50-plus yards, while making 11 of 12 PATs over nine games this year.

Carlson did not attempt a field goal or extra point in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: The Raiders finished with just 95 yards of total offense on 30 plays and 17:52 of possession time. Carlson has gone 11-of-14 on field-goal tries and 8-of-8 on extra-point attempts in 2025, though his opportunities are limited by the Raiders' offensive struggles.

Misses long kick Sunday
Carlson went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts in Sunday's 40-6 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: The kicker missed wide right on a 57-yard attempt as time expired in the first half, though he did make field goals from 24 and 37 yards, respectively. Carlson is now 9-for-12 on field-goal tries and a perfect 6-for-6 on extra points this season. Between the misses and a Raiders offense that has yet to score more than 24 points this year, Carlson is not one of the better kicking options in fantasy football at the moment.

Has kick blocked Sunday
Carlson made one of two field goals and all three extra-point attempts in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: The kicker had a 54-yard field-goal attempt blocked in the final minute of the game that would have put the Raiders ahead. Carlson is now seven of nine on field goals and six of six on extra points in 2025. His opportunities have been somewhat limited in a struggling Raiders offense.

Hits field goal and PAT in loss
Carlson made his only field-goal attempt, a 37-yarder, and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: The kicker did not have many opportunities on a day when the Raiders attempted multiple two-point conversions. While Carlson is now six of seven on field goals and three of three on extra points this year, he will probably need better game scripts from his team to become a big scorer.

Analysis: The Raiders' offense was limited to just 218 total net yards in Monday's loss, but Carlson put the team on the board with field goals from 54, 40 and 37 yards.

Sixth in total FGM in 2024
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.
Analysis: 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.

Racks up 13 points in win
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.
Analysis: 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.

Nails 52-yard FG on MNF
Carlson converted his only field-goal attempt in Monday's 15-9 loss to the Falcons, but his lone extra-point try was blocked.
Analysis: 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.

Makes two field goals in loss
Carlson converted both of his field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: 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.

Inaccurate in Friday's loss
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.
Analysis: 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.

Analysis: 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.

Carlson converted his only field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Bengals.

Analysis: 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.

Analysis: 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.

Perfect in upset victory
Carlson made all four of his field-goal attempts and converted both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: Carlson, who missed a 49-yarder in Week 1, avenged the disappointing four-point performance in the season opener by outdueling legendary Ravens kicker Justin Tucker on Sunday with makes from 53, 51 and 25 yards, before nailing the game winner from 38 yards out with under 30 seconds left to play in the fourth quarter.

Analysis: 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.

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.

Nails 54-yarder in win
Carlson connected on field-goal attempts of 20 and 54 yards and also converted all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-30 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Coming off a relatively disappointing 2019 campaign in which he made just 19 of 26 field-goal attempts, Carlson couldn't have asked for much more when it comes to his solid Week 1 performance in Carolina. He'll look to maintain the momentum in Week 2 for what will be the Raiders' debut on their new home turf in Las Vegas.

Lone kicker on roster
Carlson is the only kicker on the Raiders' roster after the team waived Dominik Eberle earlier this month.
Analysis: Carlson currently doesn't have direct competition for his job, but if his prior inconsistencies flare up during training camp, it wouldn't be a surprise if Las Vegas considered other options. In his second professional season last year, Carlson made just 19 of 26 field-goal attempts and missed two of 36 extra-point tries.

Sticking with Raiders
Carlson was tendered a contract by the Raiders on Friday, Jerry McDonald of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: The 25-year-old took a step back in his sophomore season as he converted 19 of 26 field-goal attempts and 34 of 36 extra-point attempts in 2019, but the Raiders are currently without another kicker on the roster. Carlson was set to be an exclusive rights free agent, and the team still figures to at least bring in some competition for training camp.

Costly miss in one-point loss
Carlson converted three of four field-goal attempts in the Raiders' Week 17 loss to the Broncos, missing a 39-yard attempt wide left in the process.
Analysis: Carlson, who missed just one of his 17 field-goal attempts in 10 games with the Raiders during his rookie campaign in 2018, took a step back throughout the latter half of the 2019 season. The Auburn product connected on 73 percent (19 of 26) of his field-goal attempts and missed a pair of extra-point tries in 2019. Carlson especially struggled from lengthier distances, going 6-for-12 from 40-plus yards out. He'll become an exclusive-rights free agent in 2020 as the Raiders make the move to Las…read more

Collects six points in win
Carlson made his lone field-goal attempt from 48 yards and added a trio of extra-point conversions in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Carlson didn't do anything to negatively impact his job security in Week 16, which is an improvement from the dicey stretch that preceded Sunday's tilt in Los Angeles. He'll look to stay on track during the Raiders' regular season finale against Denver as the silver and black fight for a playoff spot.

Misses 45-yarder in Oakland finale
Carlson made three of four field-goal attempts and an extra point in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Jaguars.
Analysis: Carlson converted on tries from 33, 34 and 27 yards, but he kicked a 45-yard try in the fourth quarter wide left. The second-year kicker has now missed three of his last eight field-goal tries -- all from beyond 40 yards. Still, coach Jon Gruden said he won't bring in kicker competition this week, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports. "We are going to see this kid kick himself out of it," Gruden said. " I got a lot of faith in this guy. I really do." For now, Carlson's job is safe, but he'll need…read more

Nails trio of extra points
Carlson converted all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Carlson, who had missed at least one kick in four of the Raiders' five previous contests, provided just three total points Sunday as he was held without a field-goal attempt.

Rough showing against Kansas City
Carlson made one of two field-goal attempts in Sunday's 40-9 loss to the Chiefs. He also had his lone extra-point attempt blocked and returned for a defensive two-point conversion.
Analysis: Carlson has now missed at least one kick in four of the Raiders' last five games, and his failed 44-yard attempt against the Chiefs was not even close as it sailed wide left. Oakland's offensive struggles as a whole continued after a similarly poor performance in Week 12 against the Jets, so Carlson isn't a very intriguing fantasy option heading into a tough matchup with the Titans.

Misses 43-yarder in loss
Carlson made one of two field-goal attempts in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: The Raiders' offense was stuffed all game long in what became a huge blowout throughout the third quarter, but Carlson failed to capitalize on a 43-yard attempt that would've given him six points on the day. He's now 11 of 15 on field-goal attempts this season as the Raiders head to Kansas City for a divisional Week 13 tilt.

Tallies five points in win
Carlson made his lone field-goal attempt from 20 yards and added a pair of extra points in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: The Raiders already owned a four-point lead when Carlson was tasked with converting a 20-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, so his Week 11 effort remained relatively devoid of pressure. Additional scoring opportunities should be on the horizon in Week 12 against a Jets squad that has recently given up 26 or more points each to the feeble Giants, Dolphins and Jaguars.

Misses pair of kicks Thursday
Carlson converted two of three field-goal attempts and two of three extra-point tries in Thursday's 26-24 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Carlson's missed 53-yard attempt wasn't much of a concern, but his failure to convert an extra point with roughly one minute remaining in the contest gave the Chargers life. The Raiders' defense prevailed down the stretch, however, so Carlson can forget about the error and look forward to an easier matchup in Week 11 against the Bengals.
