Zane Gonzalez A Risky Streaming Option Against Atlanta
Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez is a risky streaming option in Week 17 when he faces the Atlanta Falcons. Gonzalez has filled in for the injured Austin Seibert (groin), who has been on the IR since Week 12. As the replacement option, Gonzalez has gone 3-for-5 on attempts and a perfect 14-for-14 on extra points. He holds a career 79.7% FG conversion rate and a 95.3% conversion rate on extra points. Even though he has struggled to find consistency throughout his career, facing a weak Atlanta defense, the Commanders may have put Gonzalez in ample scoring situations on Sunday evening. In 14+ team formats, Gonzalez is a viable streaming option. However, fantasy managers in shallower leagues should look for a more stable and proven option.
Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez (foot) should be viewed as a risky kicking option in fantasy this weekend while facing the Philadelphia Eagles. With Austin Seibert (groin) on Injured Reserve, Gonzalez has gone 3-for-5 on attempts and a perfect 10-for-10 on extra points in a relief role. In Week 15, Gonzalez could not play due to a foot injury, but he does not carry an injury designation into this weekend. Given that Philadelphia boasts one of the best defensive units in the league, the Commanders may need to rely on the kicker to do most of the damage, which could open the door for a solid showing. However, given his unstable 60.0% conversion rate this season, he is best left on the waiver wire in semifinal fantasy matchups.
Zane Gonzalez, Greg Joseph Miss Practice For Personal Reasons
Washington Commanders kickers Zane Gonzalez (foot, personal) and Greg Joseph (personal) both missed practice on Wednesday. Head coach Dan Quinn noted that, in an unlikely twist, both Gonzalez and Joseph are away from the team as they welcome newborns to their respective families. The former has been sidelined since Week 13 due to a foot injury, and it's too early to tell whether he'll return to action this Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. If Gonzalez is forced to miss a second consecutive game, Washington would promote Joseph from the practice squad to kick in his absence.
Tyler Biadasz, Zane Gonzalez Sidelined For Week 15
Washington Commanders center Tyler Biadasz (illness) and kicker Zane Gonzalez (left foot) are both inactive for Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints. Biadasz did not appear on the injury report, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday morning that Biadasz was fighting an illness and faced an uphill battle to play. In the end, he's inactive, leaving Michael Deiter in line to start at center. Meanwhile, Gonzalez had been listed as questionable after logging two full practices to end the week. He has been filling in for the injured Austin Seibert (groin), going 3-for-5 on field goals and 10-for-10 on extra points through three games. With Gonzalez sidelined, Greg Joseph will step up as Washington's kicker. The 30-year-old missed three field goals earlier in the year with the New York Jets, but he's still an appealing fantasy option given the frequency at which the Commanders score.
Zane Gonzalez Could Be Sneaky Streaming Option Facing New Orleans
Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez (foot) is off the injury report and will once again operate as the kicker for the Commanders. This weekend, he will face the New Orleans Saints, who have allowed the 16th-most PPR points to opposing kickers, and he'll be a viable streaming option in deeper formats. Over his past three games, Gonzalez has gone 3-for-5 on field goals and 10-for-10 on extra points. Gonzalez has replaced Austin Seibert (groin), who is currently on the Injured Reserve. While Gonzalez has struggled at times filling in for Siebert, playing on a high-octane offense makes Gonzalez a viable streaming option in deeper formats in Week 15. Fantasy managers in 12-team formats looking for a kicker should consider adding Gonzalez off the waiver wire.
Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez (foot) returned to a full practice on Thursday after being limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday while dealing with a left-foot injury. Gonzalez should now be good to go to kick for the Commanders again in Week 15 in a strong matchup against the New Orleans Saints on the road in the Caesars Superdome with Austin Seibert (groin) still sidelined due to injury. In his return to the NFL this year for the first time since 2021, Gonzalez has gone 3-for-5 on field goals and has made all 10 of his extra points in his three games with Washington in place of Seibert. The 29-year-old kicker is by no means a must-start in fantasy lineups in the first round of the playoffs in most leagues, but he could be a decent streamer in a Commanders offense that has scored 28.9 points per game, the fourth-most in the NFL.
According to head coach Dan Quinn, the Washington Commanders will stick with kicker Zane Gonzalez despite his struggles against the Tennessee Titans in Week 13 when he missed both of his field-goal opportunities. Austin Seibert (groin, hip) is on Injured Reserve and won't be eligible to come back until the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys, so the 29-year-old Gonzalez figures to continue kicking for Washington until then. In his three games with the Commanders this year for the first time kicking in the NFL since 2021 with the Carolina Panthers, Gonzalez has gone 3-for-5 on field goals and 10-for-10 on extra-point tries. Heading into a Week 15 matchup against the New Orleans Saints indoors on the road, Gonzalez will be a streaming option for fantasy managers in the first round of the playoffs in most leagues.
Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez has been signed to the active roster on Monday. Gonzalez has been elevated three of the last four games with Austin Seibert (groin) banged up. Seibert has been placed on the injured reserve and won't be eligible to return until Week 18 against the Dallas Cowboys. That being said, Gonzalez appears to be in line to be the primary kicker for a few more games. Gonzalez was 6-for-6 on extra point attempts, but missed both his field goals during the win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Despite a bit of a struggle, head coach Dan Quinn said that the team is pleased with what they've seen from Gonzalez over this last month. The 29-year-old will now head into a bye in Week 14.
Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez is worth a look as a streaming option in deeper formats in Week 13 when he faces the Tennessee Titans. No.1 kicker Austin Seibert (groin) was placed on the injured reserve earlier this week, making Gonzalez the starting option for the foreseeable future. Gonzalez received two starting nods earlier this season and went 3-for-3 on field goals and 4-for-4 on extra points. Despite struggling in Philadelphia, the Washington offense got themselves back on track last weekend against the Dallas Cowboys. Gonzalez should have ample scoring opportunities playing on this offense, but he does come with some inherent risk, given his shaky career 81.0% FG rate.
Zane Gonzalez Could Be A Viable Streaming Option In Week 12
Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez could be in line to start his third-straight contest with Austin Seibert (hip) listed as questionable. Seibert has been sidelined over the past two weeks with a hip injury. Gonzalez has filled in quite well in his absence, as he has gone 3-for-3 on attempts and a perfect 4-for-4 on extra points. Even though the Washington offense has struggled over the past two weeks, fantasy managers looking for a streaming option in deeper formats should consider adding Gonzalez, as they have a great matchup against a struggling Dallas defense that has allowed the 29th-most fantasy points to opposing kickers this season.
