Zane

Gonzalez

He will, as always, miss at least the next four games. Zane Gonzalez will kick for the Commanders this week, though it will be his last practice-squad elevation and it is unknown if they’ll sign him to the active roster after Week 13. Seibert missed a field goal and two extra points, including one that would have tied the game, against the Cowboys in Week 12. He claimed he was healthy afterwards, but it was fairly obvious he was still struggling.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said the team would evaluate Seibert at the end of the week to see if he can suit up for Week 11 against the Cowboys after missing Week 10. Seibert has been among the league’s best kickers in 2024, making 25 of 27 field goal tries and all 22 of his extra points. Zane Gonzalez would get another start for Washington if Seibert remains sidelined. Both kickers make for good fantasy options against Dallas.

Seibert suffered a hip injury in Week 9 and was ultimately unable to progress enough to kick against the Steelers. The team signed Zane Gonzalez to the practice squad before elevating him for Week 10.

Seibert missed Wednesday’s practice before getting in two limited sessions. The Commanders signed Zan Gonzalez to their practice squad as an emergency option. He should be called up to the active roster over the weekend. Seibert is an ace kicker when healthy, but fantasy managers may want to avoid this situation for Week 10.

The Giants are going to be without Graham Gano for a few weeks, so the team needs a short-term fill-in. Bullock served as a replacement for the Giants last year, so it would seem he would have a leg up — pun kind of intended — for the gig.

Gonzalez was on injured reserve with a calf injury, but is now free to sign with any team. Kicker Jake Moody is also dealing with a quad injury, and they signed Matthew Wright as a backup option if Moody is unable to go. The 49ers have issues at kicker, but Gonzalez is no longer one of them. The veteran kicker missed all of last season with an injury, but was 20-for-22 on field goal attempts in 2021.

Moody missed the team’s final preseason game with a strained quad and Gonzalez emerged from that contest with a strained calf, meaning the 49ers might be on the hunt for their opening-day place kicker. Both kickers competing for the starting job are considered week-to-week.

Moody hurt his quad in practice and will be held out this weekend in hopes he can be ready for Week 1 against the Steelers. Shockingly taken with the 99th pick in the 2023 draft, Moody — when healthy — will replace longtime Niners kicker Robbie Gould. The rookie should be a viable fantasy option thanks to Kyle Shanahan’s commitment to kicking field goals in the red zone. Zane Gonzalez is the only other kicker on the team’s depth chart.

Moody took over as the Michigan’s primary kicker in 2019, though he managed to set the school record with six made field goals in a game as a freshman in 2018. He stayed at Michigan through 2022 and was consistently one of college football’s most accurate kickers. Moody left school with a Lou Groza Award from 2021 and Michigan’s school record for points in a season and points over a career. With a range that pushes 60 yards and accuracy at all levels, Moody is nearly spotless as a prospect. Moody will compete with Zane Gonzalez for starting duties in Kyle Shanahan’s field goal-happy offense after the Niners parted ways with longtime K Robbie Gould this offseason.

The Panthers were expected to release Gonzalez, who missed all of 2022 to injury. The 49ers needed a kicker after not re-signing Robbie Gould this offseason and will replace him with Gonzalez. The 49ers could add competition for Gonzalez, a 27-year-old coming off a season-ending injury, but he’s likely to be on the Week 1 roster if healthy. Gonzalez was 20-for-22 (91%) on field goals for the Panthers in 2021 and has a career 80.5 field goal percentage.
