Who Should I Start? Zane Gonzalez or Greg Joseph

Tuesday, November 4, 11:09 AM

Veteran kicker Zane Gonzalez is signing with the Atlanta Falcons, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Atlanta is also waiving kicker Parker Romo, who missed a critical extra point in the team's 24-23 Week 9 loss to the New England Patriots. Gonzalez will be the Falcons' third different kicker so far this season, as the team also moved on from longtime kicker Younghoe Koo after Koo had his own late-game struggles earlier this year. Gonzalez has appeared in 69 games for four different NFL teams across six seasons. In six games for the Washington Commanders in 2024, Gonzalez made five of seven field goal attempts and all 19 of his extra-point tries. The Falcons will travel to Germany to play the Indianapolis Colts in Week 10.

San Francisco 49ers kickers Jake Moody and Greg Joseph appear to be in a legitimate competition for the starting gig this fall. The two kickers are off to a strong start as they combined to go 8-for-8 on kicks during Wednesday's practice. They also both managed to knock down kicks from around 55 yards. Moody was selected 99th overall by the 49ers in 2023, but experienced a sophomore slump last season. He missed 10 field goal attempts and one extra point, which prompted the 49ers to bring in some competition. Joseph is a veteran kicker who has been around the league quite a bit. Last season, he knocked down 16-of-20 field goal attempts in eight games between three teams. Whoever wins this job should be worth rostering in fantasy leagues because it'll probably be a high-volume job.
