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.

Errant end to rookie season
Carlson made two of three field-goal attempts and an extra point in Saturday's 24-21 loss to the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Carlson did not miss a kick over his first five games as a professional, but he misfired on six field-goal and five extra-point attempts before the regular season ended, and he tacked on one apiece during the playoffs, with his final miss proving particularly costly in a game Green Bay lost by three points. The Packers showed enough confidence in Carlson to draft him in the sixth round and hang onto him all season, but he will presumably face some sort of competition for his job leading up to the 2024 campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In three-way kicking competition
Coach Matt LaFleur has described Carlson's kicking competition in OTAs against Greg Joseph and Jack Podlesny as "a very tight battle," per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Carlson is coming off a poor rookie season, as the 2023 sixth-round draft pick missed at least one kick in nine of Green Bay's final 12 games, including a costly 41-yard miss in the team's three-point playoff loss to the 49ers. The Packers brought in the veteran Joseph and 24-year-old Podlesny as competition in the offseason, and it's to early to determine a clear frontrunner between Carlson and Joseph. Carlson and Podlesny both attempted seven field goals in Wednesday's practice, with Carlson connecting on six and Podlesny making only three, while Joseph didn't kick during the portion of practice open to reporters.

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.
