Who Should I Start? Mason Crosby or Zane Gonzalez

Saturday, December 30, 9:58 PM

New York Giants kicker Mason Crosby has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. The Giants are having some serious problems at kicker with Graham Gano (knee) and Randy Bullock (hamstring) on the injured reserve and Cade York (quad) on the practice squad injured list. That being said, Crosby is likely to remain the team's kicker through the final two games of the regular season. He made his lone field goal attempt and both extra point chances during last week's game. He won't be a great streaming option given the offensive struggles of the Giants.

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.
