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.

The Washington Commanders have acquired kicker Zane Gonzalez ahead of their matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday. With the news that Austin Seibert (hip) had been downgraded to out with a hip ailment, the team signed Gonzales to their practice squad and then promptly elevated him to the active roster a day later. Week 10 will be the veteran's first taste of action since 2021, when he appeared in 12 games and hit on 22-of-23 extra point attempts and 20-of-22 field goal tries for the Carolina Panthers. Seibert has been excellent this year for Washington, connecting on 92.6% of his three-point attempts (25-of-27) and knocking in all 22 extra-point opportunities. We'll see how long he is out of the lineup. In the meantime, Gonzalez will slot in in his stead.

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.
