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.
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.
Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest, which will likely result in Zane Gonzalez getting the call from the practice squad. Gonzalez also served as the starting option last weekend and hit both of his attempts and all three of his extra points. With how impressive the Washington offense has looked this season, Gonzalez should be given ample scoring opportunities on Thursday. However, given his career 80.9% FG%, he does carry some inherent risk playing on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles. Fantasy managers looking to stream a kicker should look elsewhere this week for a more stable contributor.
