Dawson converted all three of his field goal attempts Sunday, hitting from 46, 48 and 49 yards out. He converted both PATs in a 41-23 loss to New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
This was easily Dawson's best fantasy performance to date, as the 49ers' offense had a rare outing where they were able to move the ball with ease. They won't get to face the Saints' defense every week, so this kind of output shouldn't be expected from Dawson on a weekly basis, especially going against a stout Arizona defense in Week 10.

Dawson hit his only field goal attempt of 28 yards in Sunday's 34-17 loss to Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Dawson won't be a top-10 scoring kicker playing behind an abysmal San Francisco offense. While he can't create field goal opportunities for himself, he has been hitting most of the ones that have been presented to him this season (88.9 FG%), making him a safe kicking option in leagues that penalize missed kicks. Standard leagues can probably find kickers with higher point potentials on a weekly basis.

Dawson was perfect Sunday, hitting from 33, 47 and 48 and converting his only PAT attempt in a 45-16 loss to Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the final score, this game was actually relatively close trough three quarters, so Dawson was able to get in a few field goals before things got out of hand. The 41-year-old is proving to be accurate yet again, hitting seven of his eight field goal attempts this season. The only concern with Dawson is whether or not the 49ers' offense will be able to put him in a position to produce big fantasy days. Sunday was the first time this season that he attempted more than two field goals.

Dawson did not attempt a field goal in Thursday's 33-21 loss to Arizona, but he did convert all three of his PAT attempts.
EDGE Analysis
While Dawson wasn't presented a field goal opportunity, a holding penalty forced him to have to make one of his three PAT attempts from 43 yards out, which was actually his longest kick of the season so far. The 49ers' offense has been inconsistent at best, so it is tough to recommend Dawson given how much the team struggles to move the ball.

Dawson converted from 36 yards and hit both of his PAT attempts in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
The 49ers' coaching change has not resulted in a more prolific offensive attack. Dawson hasn't reached double-digits in scoring this season and his four field goals match his total through four games last season under Jim Tomsula. Until the offense can move the ball into their opponent's territory with more frequency, Dawson will remain a low-end kicking option.

Dawson converted one of his two field goal attempts Sunday, hitting from 22 but missing from 53 in a loss to Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
With just three field goals through three games, Chip Kelly's uptempo offense hasn't resulted in more scoring opportunities for the veteran kicker. While Sunday's 53-yard miss likely didn't negatively affect fantasy owners, a successful attempt would have gone a long way in saving an otherwise mediocre output.

Dawson was perfect Sunday, converting both of his field goal attempts (29 and 39) and all three PAT attempts in a 46-27 loss to Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Dawson put up a solid fantasy game after not attempting a field goal in Week 1. The 41-year-old is a safe kicking option against Seattle next week.

Dawson did not attempt a field goal but did convert all four PAT attempts in Monday's 28-0 win over the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Dawson was an intriguing kicking option coming into Week 1 with the 49ers not expected to have a strong red zone offense. That turned out not to be the case after San Francisco converted all four of their red zone appearances into touchdowns Monday, leaving the 41-year-old kicker with zero field goal attempts. Still, an uptempo Chip Kelly offense should provide Dawson with more scoring opportunities this season than he did under Jim Tomsula. His 27 field goal attempts last year were his lowest in a full season since 2001.

Dawson was 5-for-6 in field goal attempts this preseason. He converted all six PAT attempts.
EDGE Analysis
Dawson had a solid preseason and enters his third season as the 49ers' starting kicker. The team brought in undrafted rookie kicker John Lunsford, but he never threatened the veteran's starting role and has since been cut. Dawson could see an uptick scoring in Chip Kelly's uptempo offense.

Dawson converted both his field goal attempts, including a 50-yarder, in Sunday's preseason loss to Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the 49ers bringing two kickers out of camp, Dawson is the unquestioned starter after hitting 24-of-27 attempts last season. He could see an uptick in value in Chip Kelly's faster-paced offense that may result in increased field goal opportunities.
