Dawson connected on his only field goal attempt in Thursday's loss to the Seahawks.

EDGE Analysis

Dawson's 35-yard field goal was all the offense the 49ers could muster Thursday. This was a perfect example of why it is hard to trust Dawson on a weekly basis due to San Francisco's inability to move the ball on offense.

Dawson was prefect on all four of his field goal attempts Sunday, connecting from 26, 31, 42, and 53 yards in the 25-20 win over Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Dawson's value has been suppressed all season due to a stagnant San Francisco offense. That wasn't a problem Sunday, as Dawson was put in position to have a big fantasy day. Next week's opposing defense (Seattle) may not be as forgiving as Baltimore's, which should limit the 40-year-old's attempts.

Dawson hit both of his field goal attempts (22, 43) along with three PATs in the loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Dawson has been a low-end kicker this season due to the 49ers' inability to move the ball into their opponent's territory. Still, he is a safe kicking option, as he is pretty much automatic from under 50 yards, which is more than can be said about the wave of new kickers who entered the league this year.

Dawson hit his only field goal attempt (33 yards) in Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

Dawson continues to see his scoring opportunities shrink on a weekly basis as the 49ers' offense struggles to move the ball into opponents' territory. Despite his accuracy, it would be wise to look at other kicking options until San Francisco's offense shows some semblance of consistency.

Dawson hit his only field goal attempt (47 yards) and converted his only PAT in Sunday's 43-18 loss to the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

The 49ers were down big early, so field goals and one-point tries after touchdowns were quickly abandoned. Dawson has started the year 3-for-4 in field goal attempts.

Dawson was 2-for-3 (25, 30) on his field goal attempts and 2-for-2 on PATs against the Vikings on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Dawson's only miss Monday was actually a blocked kick, so the 28-yard miss shouldn't be held against him. The 40-year-old is a reliable kicking option, but he likely won't produce many 50-yard-plus kicks this year for leagues that reward longer makes.

Dawson finished the 2014 season on a strong note, hitting both field goal attempts (37, 53) and converting both extra point attempts in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Dawson saw his production dip in the second half due to the offensive struggles of the 49ers' offense. But he put together a solid campaign in 2014, hitting 25-of-31 field goal attempts, including 5-of-9 from beyond 50 yards. Dawson is under contract through the 2016 season and proved that he can still kick at a high level despite his advanced age of 39.

Dawson made five extra points but missed his only field-goal attempt in Saturday's overtime loss to the Chargers. The field goal was a 60-yard try at the end of regulation that would have won it for the 49ers but was so short that it never had a shot. The 39-year-old has made multiple field goals just once in his last five games.

Dawson did not attempt a field goal in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. This was the first time all season that Dawson did not line up for a field goal. He would have had a chip-in opportunity early in the game, but the 49ers opted to go for it on fourth down and ended up getting into the endzone for their only score of the day. Dawson should have more opportunities for points at home against the Chargers next week.

Dawson was 2-for-3 (20, 52) in field goal attempts in Sunday's loss to the Raiders. Dawson had an uncharacteristic miss wide-left from 47 yards, but he also had a 54-yard field goal nullified by an offensive holding penalty. He has been a solid option at kicker this season, but with a likely low-scoring matchup with the Seahawks on the horizon, it may be wise to look at other options for week 15.
