Dan Carpenter Week 8
Carpenter hit three field goals in last week's overtime loss to the Broncos. On Miami's only TD, they elected to go for two points instead of kicking the extra point.

Ranked #26 among kickers this week, Carpenter is not a good bet for scoring chances in a struggling offense, but if they do come, they could be field goals.
