2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Packers took Daniel Carlon's younger brother in the sixth round last year and were pleased with the early results, but Anders hit a mid-season slump after making all his kicks Week 1-5, ultimately finishing with an 81.8 percent conversion rate on field goals and 87.2 percent on PATs. The rookie then missed an extra point in the first round of the playoffs and a 41-yard field goal in the second round, and the Packers subsequently signed kickers Greg Joseph and Jack Podlesny in the offseason. Whoever wins the job should have at least some degree of fantasy relevance, as Green Bay's offense was one of the best in the league during the second half of 2023 and is stocked with talented, young players.

Joins 53-man roster
The Jets signed Carlson to the 53-man roster Monday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Carlson joined the Jets' practice squad Nov. 8 and was elevated ahead of this past Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts. After converting all five of his kicks (three extra points, two field goals) -- including a career-long 58-yard boot -- the second-year pro will now gain some job security. At least while Greg Zuerlein (knee) remains on injured reserve, Carlson should retain the Jets' kicking job.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Packers finally appear ready to move on from Mason Crosby after using a sixth-round pick on Carlson, who converted 71.8 percent of FGAs and 98.3 percent of PATs in five seasons at Auburn. That's not especially impressive, but he does have a strong leg and is the younger brother of the Raiders' standout kicker Daniel Carlson. First, Carson must win the job in training camp, as the Packers also have 2022 UDFA Parker White on the roster. Carlson is the favorite, but even if he wins the job he'll be attached to an offense facing major questions with Jordan Love taking over at QB and a pass-catching corps comprised almost entirely of rookies and second-year players.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Behind Joseph early in camp
Carlson is lagging behind Greg Joseph in Green Bay's kicking competition, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Joseph has made 29 of 31 field-goal attempts in portions of training camp open to reporters, while Carlson has connected on 25 of 31 kicks. Carlson also struggled down the stretch in his rookie season, missing a kick in nine of Green Bay's last 12 games, including the playoffs. Special teams coach Rich Bisaccia believes he can help correct Carlson's accuracy issues after the kicker's older brother Daniel Carlson took off under Bisaccia's tutelage with the Raiders, but the team's patience could start to run thin if Carlson's unable to course correct during the preseason.
