Former Auburn K Daniel Carlson reveals his big Week 2 game cost him in fantasy football

Daniel Carlson had a great Week 2, except in one way.
The former Auburn kicker made 4 field goals for the Las Vegas Raiders in their 26-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers and was recognized as the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week. It came at a cost, though. Carlson lost his fantasy football game because he was his opponents’ kicker.
Carlson humorously revealed his “loss” to reporters during a Raiders media opportunity:
Imagine losing in fantasy… to yourself 😂

Next year, Carlson will presumably draft himself to make sure this doesn’t happen again. The former Tiger has made all of his extra-point (5) and field-goal (6) attempts in the first two games. He’ll look to keep that going against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
