Zane Gonzalez News

Zane Gonzalez Placed on Injured Reserve

Monday, August 10, 7:43 PM

The Miami Dolphins announced Monday that they placed kicker Zane Gonzalez (undisclosed) on injured reserve, ending his 2026 season. Gonzalez was injured during Saturday's practice, and head coach Jeff Hafley said it was a "week-to-week timeline." Gonzalez spent the 2025 season with the Atlanta Falcons, making 19 of 22 field goals and 17 of 18 extra points in nine games. With Gonzalez on injured reserve, the Dolphins will turn to Riley Patterson to handle kicking duties in 2026. The 26-year-old made 27 of 29 field goals and 34 of 35 extra points last season. While the Dolphins' offense may limit Patterson's fantasy production, he could be worth a shot if he continues to kick accurately this season.

Ryan Fitzgerald News

Ryan Fitzgerald a Starting Kicker in Week 3

Friday, September 25, 2:40 PM

Carolina Panthers kicker Ryan Fitzgerald should be locked into lineups in Week 3 against the Cleveland Browns. Fitzgerald is kicking for one of the hottest offenses in the NFL, and that should not change in Week 3. The Browns' defense is not the juggernaut it once was, and Carolina should have no issues getting into scoring position all afternoon. Fitzgerald is coming off a 10-fantasy point outing in Week 2. He has made eight of his nine extra point attempts, and he has not missed a field goal this season. As long as the offense continues to hum along and Fitzgerald remains accurate, he will be a weekly starting option. Stick with Fitzgerald in Week 3 with the potential for a double-digit kicking outing once again.
