The ‘Fins offense is lethargic at best, but Carpenter has still managed to knock home seven field goals in his last four outings. In Week 10, Miami plays host to the Redskins, who have surrendered the most points to opposing kickers this year. Don’t count on Carpenter to be a season-long option, but he’s definitely worth rolling out there against the ‘Skins.
