Zane Gonzalez — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
The case for drafting him
Zane Gonzalez put together a strong 2025 season in Atlanta. He connected on 19 of 22 field goal attempts, missing just one, and converted all 17 of his extra point attempts out of 18 tries. The distance profile was legitimate: 8 makes from 40-49 yards and 7 from 50-plus. That is a kicker who was trusted on long attempts and delivered. His 2025 accuracy rate and volume represent a meaningful step up from his 2024 line, when he attempted just 7 field goals and made 5. The three-year aggregate tells a similar story of a kicker who, when active, has been accurate: 12 makes on 14.5 attempts per season, with just 1.5 misses per year on average.
What the model projects
The projection is 57.7 half-PPR fantasy points. That number sits at K42 and #511 overall, placing Gonzalez in Tier 9. His draft value is -113.4, which is below replacement level at the kicker position in a 12-team half-PPR format. The projection is a point estimate; the median simulated season lands at 21.6 points, well below that headline figure, which reflects the wide variance built into kicker outcomes.
| FG | FGM | XP | Half-PPR | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 5 | 2 | 19 | 36.0 |
| 2025 | 19 | 1 | 17 | 95.0 |
| 3-yr avg | 12 | 1.5 | 18 | 16.5 |
The range of outcomes
The outcome band is wide, as it is for any kicker. The bottom 10% of simulated seasons lands at 0.0 points. The 25th percentile is 2.8 points. The median simulated season is 21.6 points. The 75th percentile reaches 66.4 points, and the top 10% of simulated seasons comes in at 110.6 points. That spread from floor to ceiling is substantial. A drafter targeting Gonzalez is accepting a high-variance asset: the downside is a near-zero season, and the upside is a genuinely useful fantasy contributor.

How to draft him
Gonzalez has no market ADP available, meaning he is not being drafted consistently enough across public platforms to produce a reliable median pick number. In practice, that means he is a late-round or post-draft addition in most leagues. At K42 and #511 overall with a negative draft value, he is not a player to spend meaningful draft capital on. If you are carrying a kicker spot into the final rounds and want a name with a recent high-volume, high-accuracy season on his resume, Gonzalez is a name to monitor on the waiver wire rather than a pick to plan around.
