Carpenter (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Carpenter (knee) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Carpenter was listed as being limited at practice this week, but there's no real doubt that he will be available for Sunday's contest. Through the first three weeks of the season, Carpenter has recorded 22 points, while having made 4 of 5 field goal attempts in the process.

Though Carpenter is being listed as limited at practice this week with a left knee issue, coach Rex Ryan said that the kicker will play Sunday against the Giants, ESPNs Mike Rodak reports.

EDGE Analysis

Look for Carpenter to be officially listed as probable for Sunday's contest in the absence of any setbacks in practice Friday.

Carpenter was limited during Wednesday's practice due to a knee issue.

EDGE Analysis

We imagine he'll be fine for Sunday's game against the Giants, but we'll keep an eye on his practice status Thursday and Friday. Carpenter put up 11 fantasy points in the Week 3 victory over the Dolphins, much better than his two-point output the previous week.

Carpenter scored just two points in Buffalo's loss to New England on Sunday, making two of three extra-point attempts. He did not have a field-goal attempt.

EDGE Analysis

The Bills got way behind in this one and had to start going for touchdowns and two-point tries, hence the awful fantasy output for Carpenter even though the team scored 32 points. The missed XPA could have proven costly, as the Bills were down eight at the end of the game instead of seven, even though they would have lost anyway with an interception on the final drive,

Carpenter made both of his field goal attempts - one from 41 yards and the other from 45 - and all three of his extra point attempts in Sunday's win over the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

A good kicking performance and an season-opening win should put coach Rex Ryan in a good mood, as the new coach had been on Carepenter's case leading up to the season. Hopefully this was just Ryan blowing some usual smoke, as Carpenter knows the tricky Buffalo landscape well and he's proven quite reliable in his first two full seasons with the Bills.

Carpenter has coach Rex Ryan's "full confidence" heading into Sunday's season opener against the Colts, ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carpenter's shaky performance during the preseason, which included three missed field goals and one missed extra point attempt, led the Bills to host kickers Billy Cundiff and Alex Henery on Monday, but Buffalo will stick with Carpenter heading into the regular season. Although coach Ryan expressed his confidence in Carpenter, fantasy owners could understandably be concerned with Carpenter's recent kicking form.

With Carpenter having endured a less-than-stellar preseason, the Bills have worked out kickers Billy Cundiff and Alex Henery, ESPN's Mike Rodak reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Carpenter isn't necessarily on the way out, the Bills are clearly considering their options here, which results in at least a short-term hit to Carpenter's draft/action value in advance of Week 1.

Carpenter has survived the Bills' cutdown to 53 players.

EDGE Analysis

Rex Ryan has been all over the veteran the last couple of weeks, but the bottom line is that Carpenter is a dependable veteran that knows how to kick in chilly, windy Buffalo. As long as he gets a rhythm going early in the season - and Carpenter certainly didn't in the preseason, missing three field goals and an extra point - his job security should be fine. That all said, Carpenter seems to be a lot less secure than he was under the previous coaching regime.

Bills head coach Rex Ryan said he will look into finding a replacement for Carpenter, who missed a field goal in Thursday's preseason game against the Lions, Joe Buscaglia of WKBW reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carpenter's terrible preseason continued, and while the Bills will take a look at the free-agent market, they may ultimately decide that there isn't a better option available. Carpenter was excellent in his first two seasons with the team.
