Zane Gonzalez Fantasy

Arizona Cardinals kicker Zane Gonzalez missed a 45-yard field goal in the closing minutes of Sunday's loss to New England, paving the way for the Patriots to drill a game-winning field goal of their own. The miss is the fifth of 2020 for Gonzalez, who has now gone 10-for-15 on kicks from 40 yards or longer this year. He did make both of his extra points, driving his percentage to what would be a new career high, but his long range misses make him difficult to roster despite the high-octane nature of the Cardinals' offense. With Gonzalez having missed at least one kick in three of his last five games, there are more consistent kicking options available in the vast majority of season-long leagues.

Arizona Cardinals kicker Zane Gonzalez will match up Sunday against a Jets team that is tied for allowing the second-most points to opposing kickers this season. Available in nearly 40 percent of ESPN season-long leagues, Gonzalez is an excellent upside play for those who dont have a consistent kicker, or are eyeing a one-week wave of production. Having missed just one field goal inside of 40 yards over the past three seasons, Gonzalez has also gone 4-for-5 on kicks over 50 yards in the past two seasons. Arizonas offense should have little resistance in moving the ball against the Jets, putting Gonzalez at least in position for extra point opportunities, on which he has converted at a 95.7% rate since 2019.

Arizona Cardinals kicker Zane Gonzalez signed his restricted free-agent tender on Thursday, agreeing to get paid $3.259 million in 2020. Gonzalez hit 89% of his field goals last season, and he only missed once inside the 40-yard line. He also made 97% of his extra-point attempts. Both were career-high marks. Gonzalez settled into the role nicely in 2019, and with the team adding wide receiverDeAndre Hopkins this offseason, Gonzalez should get plenty of opportunities this coming year. While not a superstar, Gonzalez is a strong kicking option in fantasy.
