Who Should I Start? Justin Tucker or Zane Gonzalez

Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said on Tuesday at the NFL Combine that he has met with kicker Justin Tucker and that the Ravens will allow the NFL to conduct its investigation before making any decisions. "The allegations are serious, concerning. The amount of allegations are serious and concerning. I think we're fortunate that the league is doing an investigation. We'll wait as patiently as we can for as much information as we can and we'll make our decisions based on that," DeCosta said. Sixteen women have alleged sexual misconduct at massage parlors against the 35-year-old Tucker, and the Ravens have said in the past that they have a "zero-tolerance" policy against sexual misconduct. Not only could Tucker be facing a lengthy suspension from the NFL in 2025, but the Ravens could outright release him, especially after he had the worst season of his career in 2024.

The Washington Commanders re-signed kicker Zane Gonzalez to an undisclosed deal on Thursday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Gonzalez took over for an injured Austin Seibert (hip) before Week 13 last season and finished the year (including three playoff games) by making 12 of his 15 field-goal attempts and all 27 of his extra-point tries in nine games. That was enough to convince the Commanders that the 29-year-old deserves a shot to open the 2025 season as their primary placekicker. Gonzalez was returning to the NFL in 2024 for the first time since he kicked in 12 games for the Carolina Panthers back in 2021. Washington is one of the better up-and-coming offenses in the NFL after quarterback Jayden Daniels led them to the NFC Championship in his rookie season, so at the very least, Gonzalez will be a fantasy streaming option to open next season.
