2026 Fantasy Outlook
Gonzalez has kicked for five teams since entering the NFL in 2017, making 33 or fewer appearances for each of those clubs. He played just six games total from 2022 to 2024, but Gonzalez took full advantage when the Falcons gave him a shot last season. He made 19 of 22 field-goal attempts and 17 of 18 PATs, notably going 7-for-9 on tries of 50-plus yards. The result was a No. 4 finish in terms of fantasy points per game, albeit across just half of a season (nine games). NFL teams apparently weren't too convinced by the small-sample success, as Gonzalez had to settle for $100,000 guaranteed on a one-year contract with the Dolphins. He'll compete with incumbent Riley Patterson, who was one of the few bright spots in Miami last year. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $1.49 million contract with the Dolphins in March of 2026.
Released by Miami
The Dolphins released Gonzalez (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Wednesday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gonzalez was placed on the Dolphins' injured reserve list in early August due to an undisclosed issue. The kicker did not wish to be tied up on IR for the entirety of the 2026 season and, as such, has negotiated his release with an injury settlement. Gonzalez is now a free agent and is able to sign with any franchise once he regains his health.

Gonzalez stepped in for an injured Austin Seibert and performed well down the stretch for Washington last season, making 12 of 15 field-goal attempts and all 27 PATs across three regular-season games and three playoff contests. All three misses came in easy wins for Washington, softening the blow, but the team nonetheless released Gonzalez after signing fellow kicker Matt Gay in April. Now a free agent, Gonzalez will look for opportunities to compete for a placekicker role.
