According to Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post, Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez (hip) was limited during Tuesday's practice. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status throughout the week, but seeing him open the week as a limited participant suggests this injury is relatively minor. Gonzalez played the hero in their victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday evening as he went 3-for-3 on attempts, including a game-winning field goal as time expired from 37 yards out. With Austin Seibert (groin) on the injured reserve, Gonzalez has continued to operate as the No.1 option in the DMV. Across his previous four games, he has gone 5-for-5 on field goals and 11-for-11 on extra points. He remains a solid option in fantasy competitions this weekend, playing on a potent Washington offense.
Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez went 3-for-3 during their victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday evening. Gonzalez was also perfect (2-for-2) on extra points. His first field goal of the evening came in the second quarter from 52 yards out. In the third quarter, he would convert his second attempt of the evening from 22 yards out. Then, in the final seconds, Gonzales would convert his third field goal of the evening to snap Washington's 19-year playoff victory drought with a 37-yard field goal. Gonzalez has replaced the injured Austin Seibert (groin) and has gone perfect on all attempts over his previous four games. He will look to extend this streak during their next game in Detroit on Saturday evening.
Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez is a risky play in DFS formats this weekend, facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Gonzalez has been tasked to replace the injured Austin Seibert (groin) and has gone 5-for-7 on attempts and perfect on extra points. Both of his missed attempts came from over 40 yards out. Over the past two weeks, Gonzales has only attempted one field goal per game, as the Commanders have been very efficient in the red zone. However, he has made five extra points over this stretch. Despite playing on a high-octane offense, given his struggles from deeper rangers, he is best to leave off of your DFS lineup as he is one of the least-proven kickers in the playoffs.
Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez remains a risky streaming option heading into a Week 18 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Gonzalez has been filling in for the injured Austin Seibert (groin). Across five games this season, Gonzalez has gone 4-for-6 on attempts and a perfect 17-for-17 on extra points. Last weekend against the Atlanta Falcons, he went 1-for-1 on his lone field goal attempt. While Gonzalez has struggled at times, he plays on a high-octane offense that continues to put him in scoring opportunities. Facing a Dallas defense that has allowed the sixth-most PPR points to opposing kickers this season, makes the 29-year-old a risky streaming option with upside in deeper 14+ team formats in the final week of the regular season.
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.
