Dawson hit both of his field goal attempts (22, 43) along with three PATs in the loss to the Giants.
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.
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.
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.
Tue Sep 15 201504:20Dawson 2-3 (25, 30) on field goal attempts and 2-2 on PATs again...
Dawson was 2-for-3 (25, 30) on his field goal attempts and 2-for-2 on PATs against the Vikings on Monday.
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 hit his only field goal attempt (a 37-yarder) in Saturday's preseason loss to the Texans.
Dawson will be the 49ers' kicker this season. He saw his FG% drop from 88.9% in 2013 to 80.6% last season, but he also attempted three more field goals from beyond 50 yards. Even at the age of 40, Dawson should be a safe kicker for attempts 49 yards and shorter.

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.
Mon Dec 15 201411:52Dawson did not attempt field goal in Sunday's loss to Seahawks
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.
Mon Dec 8 201410:28Dawson 2-3 (20, 52) in field goal attempts in Sunday's loss to R...
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.

Dawson only had one field goal attempt Thursday, converting the 40-yarder in the 19-3 loss to the Seahawks.
Nothing that Dawson could have done here, as the 49ers' offense struggled to move the ball into Seahawks' territory for the majority of the game. This was the first time the 49ers' failed to score a touchdown in a game this season, limiting Dawson's scoring to the lone field goal. Next week's matchup against the Raiders should provide more scoring opportunities, making Dawson a safe option looking forward.
Mon Nov 17 201401:14Dawson converted all three of field goal attempts (31, 37, 44) a...
Dawson converted all three of his field goal attempts (31, 37, 44) and added an extra point in the 16-10 win over the Giants on Sunday.
The veteran kicker continues to be a great kicking option this season, hitting 19-of-23 attempts on the year.
Mon Nov 10 201400:48Dawson perfect 2-2 in field goal attempts (35, 45) and 3-3 in ex...
Dawson was a perfect 2-for-2 in field goal attempts (35, 45) and 3-for-3 in extra points against the Saints on Sunday.
Dawson hit both of his high-pressure field goal attempts to send Sunday's game into overtime, and then to eventually clinch the win for the 49ers. He will take his 80.0 percent field goal conversion rate into next week's matchup against the Giants.
Mon Nov 3 201400:47Dawson 1-2 on field goal attempts Sunday, hitting from 34 yards,...
Dawson was 1-for-2 on field goal attempts Sunday, hitting from 34 yards, but missing from 55 in the loss to the Rams.
The 55-yard miss right before the end of the first half was crucial as the 49ers ended up losing by three points Sunday. Even with the miss, Dawson is still a solid 4-of-6 from 50-plus yards this season.
Mon Oct 20 201411:40Dawson hit 22-yard field goal Sunday, but missed from 51 in loss...
Dawson hit a 22-yard field goal Sunday, but missed from 51 in the loss to the Broncos.
The miss was his first from 50+ this season. He is now a respectable 13-for-16 in field goal attempts. His home and away splits are glaring though, as he is a perfect 11-for-11 at home as opposed to 2-for-5 on the road. The 49ers return home to face the Rams after the bye week, making Dawson a solid option to consider in week 9.

Dawson nailed his only field goal attempt of 54 yards Monday, also hitting all four extra point attempts in the 31-17 win over the Rams.
Dawson had converted nine field goals over his last two games, so Monday's performance brought him back down to earth a bit. He remains a great kicking option for a team that is notorious for driving the ball into enemy territory, but failing to convert on touchdowns.
Mon Oct 6 201400:27Dawson hit all five of field goal attempts (27, 30, 31, 52, 55) ...
Dawson hit all five of his field goal attempts (27, 30, 31, 52, 55) in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Chiefs.
Dawson turned in a strong fantasy performance last week against the Eagles (four field goals), but managed to outdo himself with five field goals at home against the Chiefs. He is now a perfect 11-for-11 on field goal attempts at home, as opposed to 0-for-2 on the road.
Mon Sep 29 201400:40Dawson turned in best performance of season Sunday, hitting all ...
Dawson turned in his best performance of the season Sunday, hitting all four of his field goal attempts (29, 31, 46, 51) in the win over Philadelphia.
It had been a slow start for the usually reliable kicker, but Dawson hit from all ranges Sunday to re-establish himself as a solid fantasy kicking option.
Mon Sep 22 201402:19Dawson had only field goal attempt blocked in Sunday's loss to C...
Dawson had his only field goal attempt blocked in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.
It has been a rough start to the 2014 season for the veteran kicker, going just 2-for-4 through the 49ers' first three games. He should have more opportunities to score against Philadelphia next week.
Mon Sep 15 201411:31Dawson perfect in home debut at Levi's Stadium, hitting both of ...
Dawson was perfect in his home debut at Levi's Stadium, hitting both of his field goal attempts and converting both extra points in the loss to Chicago.
There were questions about Dawson's ability to kick in his new home stadium after a shaky preseason. He squashed those concerns with a perfect day at Levi's Stadium. The 49ers will travel to Arizona next week, a favorable environment for kickers.
Sun Sep 7 201423:25Dawson missed only field goal attempt of 37 yards Sunday
Dawson missed his only field goal attempt of 37 yards Sunday. He converted all four of his extra point attempts in the win over Dallas.
Dawson was uncharacteristically off from mid-range Sunday. He was having trouble hitting field goals in the 49ers' new stadium during the preseason, but this game was indoors at AT&T Stadium. Dawson will play in his first regular season game at Levi's Stadium next Sunday, and he makes a risky play considering his shaky preseason at home.
