Zane Gonzalez Fantasy Stats

San Francisco 49ers kicker Zane Gonzalez (calf) has been released by the team in order to clear some cap space on Tuesday. The 49ers placed the veteran kicker on IR last week as they pared their roster down to 53 players and he is now free to sign with any team, although, that may be difficult with his current injury. 2023 third-round pick, Jake Moody (quad) is expected to be the 49ers starting kicker once the regular season begins but he's dealing with an injury himself. San Francisco signed Matthew Wright as a backup if Moody can't suit up on Sunday at Pittsburgh. The 49ers are loaded at pretty much every position group on their roster but kicker, as it stands right now, is not one of them. They may need to bring in another reliable veteran kicking option if Moody's recovery takes longer than expected.

San Francisco 49ers kickers Jake Moody (quad) and Zane Gonzalez (calf) are both considered week-to-week, according to David Lombardi. The initial impression is that Gonzalez might miss more time than Moody, but both players' Week 1 statuses are up in the air. Head coach Kyle Shanahan intends to gain more clarity on their timelines before establishing a backup plan in the next few days. Such a contingency process could include signing at least one free-agent kicker. Whoever occupies the position during the regular season opener is merely a low-upside streamer in fantasy football. San Francisco's first three games are in Pittsburgh, in Los Angeles (Rams), and home versus the Giants.

The Panthers traded kicker Zane Gonzalez to the 49ers on Friday. Carolina had initially announced it would be releasing the veteran. Instead, he'll now be heading west, with San Francisco filling a void on offense. Gonzalez has made just 80.5% of his field goal tries during his career, so he hasn't been the most efficient kicker. The 27-year-old also missed the entire 2022 campaign because of a groin injury suffered in the preseason. That said, it's unlikely Gonzalez will draw much interest from fantasy managers this season, although that could change if he turns things around and stays healthy.

Carolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez has been released by the organization. This is odd timing considering the Panthers recently said they were going to stick with Gonzalez. Now, they've re-signed kicker Eddy Pineiro to a two-year deal and parted ways with Gonzalez. The 27-year-old missed all of last season due to a groin issue. Gonzalez has five years of experience under his belt, so he should be able to find another opportunity. However, his career 80.5 field goal percentage doesn't scream reliable kicker. Gonzalez should get a chance with another organization to at least prove himself in camp.

Carolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez has been diagnosed with a "significant" and "long-term" groin injury, head coach Matt Rhule told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The injury occurred during Friday's preseason finale and has a chance to sideline Gonzalez for the entire season. Regardless of his timetable, it's clear that Gonzalez won't be ready for Week 1 against Cleveland. The Panthers have no other kicker on their roster, so they will surely peruse free agency for a new leg as the other 31 teams trim down their rosters over the next few days.

The Carolina Panthers signed kicker Zane Gonzalez to a two-year, $4.5 million contract on Wednesday. Last year, he performed well for the Panthers and was rewarded with a two-year deal. The 26-year-old made 20 of his 22 field-goal attempts and missed just one extra point before landing on the IR with a quadriceps injury in Week 17. Gonzalez is a solid kicker for a bad offense and is more of a streamer than an every-week starter in standard mixed leagues.

The Carolina Panthers are hoping to re-sign kicker Zane Gonzalez this offseason. Gonzalez made 20 of his 22 field-goal attempts (long of 57 yards) and missed just one extra point before suffering a quadriceps injury before Week 17. "I thought he really kicked well for us," general manager Scott Fitterer said. "He just wants to see what's out there, and then we'll hopefully get him done. If not, we have options." The Panthers replaced Gonzalez with Lirim Hajrullahu for the final two regular season games, but the plan is to go back to Gonzalez in 2022. The 26-year-old booter has made 8.5% of his 113 field-goal attempts in five seasons with the Panthers, Cleveland Browns and Arizona Cardinals.

Carolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez (hamstring) is being put on the injured reserve and will miss the remainder of the season. One of the lone bright spots for the Panthers' offense this season, Gonzalez got injured in the warm-up before the Bills' game. The Panthers will now need to sign another kicker and Gonzalez can be safely dropped in all fantasy leagues where he remains rostered.

Carolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez (quad) won't play during Sunday's meeting against Buffalo. He injured his quadriceps during pregame warmups and needed assistance off the field. Although it's not ideal to lose anyone, it's even worse for a team to be without a kicker, especially one ruled out within hours of kickoff. As a result, punter Lachlan Edwards could be in line to take over. However, it's more logical the team will avoid field goal and extra-point attempts as much as possible against the Bills.

Carolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez sustained a potential leg injury during warmups ahead of the Week 15 matchup against Buffalo. The veteran needed assistance off the field, so it appears that there is a good chance he won't play against the Bills. Although it's tough to tell how the team will approach this situation, fantasy managers should scramble to find an alternative immediately before lock time.
