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.
