Pros: Accuracy hasn't been a problem for Carpenter in his first two years; he booted 25 of his 28 field goal attempts through the uprights last year (89.3 percent) and 21 of his 25 attempts the year before (84.0 percent). This offense should be improved under emerging quarterback Chad Henne and with the addition of talented wideout Brandon Marshall.

Cons: Attempts haven't come that often for Carpenter. He has yet to reach 30 in his either of his two seasons with 25 in '08 and 28 last year. Nine times last year he finished with one or fewer field goal attempts in a game.

Fantasy tip: Fantasy owners are beating down the door to draft Carpenter. He is usually the 24th off the board, so you should have a shot at this high-upside sleeper. If all other reasonable No. 1 options are gone, take a flier on the youngster.
