2022 Fantasy Outlook
Gonzalez took over the starting job Week 2 last season and immediately buoyed a Carolina
kicking unit that had been problematic in recent years. The veteran converted 20 of 22 attempts
before hurting his leg in Week 15 pre-game warmups - an injury that cost him the final four
games. Gonzalez has only had two seasons with a field-goal percentage higher than 80, so he'll
have to prove last year wasn't a small-sample fluke. Unfortunately, he may not have that chance this year, as he suffered a groin injury in the Panthers' preseason finale and was placed on injured reserve shortly thereafter. Read Past Outlooks
Dealt to 49ers
Gonzalez, who previously appeared set to be released by the Panthers, was instead traded to the 49ers on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Gonzalez missed the majority of the 2022 season with a groin injury. Instead of bringing him back, the Panthers opted to re-sign his replacement, Eddy Pineiro, after he drilled 33 of 35 field-goal attempts and 30 of 32 extra-point tries across 17 games. Gonzalez joins a 49ers roster that was previously without a kicker, and it remains to be seen if San Francisco brings any training camp competition to challenge him.

Kliff Kingsbury's offense didn't do much for David Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald in 2019, but it did produce the fifth-ranked fantasy kicker, thanks to red-zone struggles and a barrage of chip-shot FGs. Gonzalez led the league in attempts from 30-39 yards and tied for the lead from 20-29. He'll probably trade some of those easy three-pointers for PATs in 2020 but should also see more chances from distance.
