Proven kicker in his prime — production and runway both hold.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Quick answer
HoldCarlson made 1 field goals in 2026, finishing K24. Played a short 2026 (1 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. 2026 looks more like a flex than a locked starter. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
