Carpenter (right groin) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Joe Buscaglia of wgr550.com reports. Carpenter, who has recorded 37 points over his last four games, should be good to go Sunday as the Bills return to Ralph Wilson Stadium, on the heels of an eight-point effort this past Monday against the Jets at Detroit's Ford Field.

Carpenter (groin) is expected to play Sunday against the Browns. Carpenter was limited at practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but head coach Doug Marrone said that was for precautionary reasons, and believes Carpenter will "absolutely" be able to play Sunday.

Carpenter was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's practice due to a groin issue. Carpenter dealt with this last week and was fine to play against the Jets, where he put up eight points. While Carpenter sits seventh among all kickers with 90 points, we'll note that weather and a series of tough opponents could be an issue in the coming weeks. In trading-heavy leagues, you might want to consider dealing him for someone with a more favorable stretch run. That said, he's been reliable for two seasons now and the Bills aren't afraid to trot him out there, which has been pretty often in 2014 given the team's red-zone struggles.

Carpenter (groin) is listed as active for Monday's game against the Jets. Carpenter is good to go Monday, as expected, and with the game being played at Ford Ford, weather won't play a role in the Bills' Week 12 kicking game.

Carpenter (groin) is listed as probable for Monday night's game between the Bills and Jets that will be played in Detroit. This was never really a concern, and Carpenter owners will likely get a nice boost with the game now being played in nice, dry conditions instead of the mess that was dumped on Ralph Wilson Stadium all week.

Carpenter (groin) and his teammates are slated to play the Jets in Detroit on Monday, ESPN.com reports. Though Carpenter was projected as a limited participant in practices that the Bills were unable to hold Wednesday and Thursday due to a severe snowstorm in Buffalo, we suspect that the kicker will be a go Monday night at Ford Field, where weather won't be a factor.

While the Bills were unable to practice Wednesday due to a nasty snowstorm in Buffalo, Carpenter (groin) is listed as a would-be limited participant. We're not too worried about this - especially when you consider Carpenter would have been able to practice to some degree this early in the week - though a likely slippery surface in Buffalo makes the situation at least worth some small attention.

Carpenter made 3 of 4 field goals in Thursday's loss to Miami, accounting for all of Buffalo's points. Carpenter sits fifth among kickers in scoring - such is the benefit in fantasy in having a kicker playing for a team that doesn't know what it's doing in the red zone. He'll likely get get passed by a few others this weekend, though with 82 points through 10 games he's a slam dunk to hit 100-plus points for the sixth time in his seven NFL seasons. That said, the Bills have a brutal schedule ahead and weather is always a factor in Buffalo, so keep the match-ups in mind when you're deciding whether to use Carpenter in any given week the rest of the way.

Carpenter made his only field goal attempt from 31 yards out Sunday against the Vikings. Carpenter is now 14-for-16 on field goals for the season, including one from 58 yards against the Lions. His 14 field goals ties him for fourth most on the season, but he has only attempted 11 extra points, dropping his value in fantasy leagues. The Bills go on the road this week to face the Jets.

Carpenter was 3-of-4 on field goal attempts in Sunday's comeback win over Detroit, including a 58-yarder just before the end of regulation to win it. Surprisingly, Carpenter is now 3-for-4 on kicks of 58 yards or longer in his career, and this one was pretty huge for the Bills' season, as they had lost two in a row and falling short after a nice comeback on the road might have proved devastating. Carpenter now has 46 points on the season, good for fifth in the NFL. There's little reason to think this won't continue given his skill set and the Bills' comfort level in trotting him out there, not to mention the team isn't exactly affluent in the red zone. Just remember the Bills play in the AFC East, where weather and their wintry home field usually become a factor come fantasy playoff time.
