Zane Gonzalez — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
The case for drafting him
Zane Gonzalez's most compelling number from recent history is his accuracy. Over the three-year window from 2023 through 2025, he averaged 12 field goals made against 14.5 attempts — just 1.5 misses per season on average. In 2025 specifically, he connected on 19 of 22 field goal attempts while converting 17 of 18 extra point tries. That is a kicker who does not waste opportunities when they come his way. The volume question is real — his 2024 line of 5 field goals on 7 attempts and 19-for-19 extra points reflects a limited workload — but the 2025 rebound to 22 attempts shows the opportunity can be there. If Miami's offense keeps him busy, the accuracy profile is already in place.
What the model projects
The projection for Gonzalez is 56.9 half-PPR fantasy points in 2026. His draft value sits at -73.0, meaning he projects below replacement level at the kicker position. That places him at K38 and #298 overall, landing in Tier 9 on the board. Miami's Week 6 bye is worth noting for roster management purposes.

The range of outcomes
Gonzalez's recent history illustrates how wide the outcome band can run for a kicker. In 2024 he totaled just 7 field goal attempts; in 2025 that number jumped to 22. The difference between a season where an offense stalls and one where it hums translates directly into kicker scoring variance. His accuracy has been consistent across both environments — the variable is volume, and volume is tied entirely to how often Miami's offense reaches field goal range and how the game scripts play out week to week.
How to draft him
Gonzalez is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to carry a market ADP. He ranks K38 and #298 overall with a draft value of -73.0. In a standard 12-team snake draft, kickers are typically taken in the final rounds, and at his current standing there is no urgency to spend a pick on him at any point in the draft. If you are building a kicker-last strategy, he is a name to keep in mind only if the board has cleared out significantly at the position.

Significantly. In 2024 he had just 7 field goal attempts and 19 extra point attempts. In 2025 those numbers rose to 22 field goal attempts and 18 extra point attempts. The accuracy held in both seasons; the volume did not.
He does not have a market ADP — he is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to produce one. At K38 and #298 overall, there is no point in the draft where he demands a pick.
