Zane Gonzalez News
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.
