Summary

Kicker Rank: #26All Players: #462
Carpenter had a solid season after a bit of a down year in 2010. He didn't score as many points as the previous season (113) but made 85.3 percent of his field goals, which was way up from 2010. Carpenter was a very impressive 11-of-12 on field goals between 40 and 49 yards. Carpenter has been consistent since taking over as the starter in Miami. His low in points is 103 with his high being 115. He averages 111 points per season with the Dolphins. The Dolphins' offense is expected to be better this season, which should translate to more chances for Carpenter. Carpenter has a strong leg and above-average accuracy.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Carpenter is a legit fantasy starter. Even with some struggles the last few years, he still finished with high point totals. And don't be surprised to see his numbers go up with the Dolphins' offense improved. He can get 120-plus points this season.

Notes

The Miami Dolphins could consider the salaries of PKs Dan Carpenter and Caleb Sturgis in their competition for the kicking job. Sturgis is scheduled to make one-fifth the salary Carpenter will make in 2013.
Fantasy Impact: We are guessing the Dolphins give Sturgis every shot to win the job.
