2025 Fantasy Outlook
In his second year as a pro, Gonzalez recorded 59 total tackles, 11 pass defenses, two of which were interceptions, and a fumble recovery over 16 regular-season contests in 2024. The 2023 first-rounder is a rising star in a New England defense that now includes free-agent addition Carlton Davis, giving the team a nice one-two combo at outside cornerback. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $15.1 million contract with the Patriots in July of 2023.
In concussion protocol
Gonzalez is in the NFL's concussion protocol, head coach Mike Vrabel relayed Monday, Mark Daniels of MassLive reports.
ANALYSIS
Gonzalez exited in the second half of Sunday's 16-3 wild-card game win over the Chargers to be evaluated for a head injury. That evaluation evidently revealed a concussion, which means Gonzalez will need to return to full practice participation and be cleared by an independent neurologist to participate in the AFC divisional-round game against the Texans or Steelers on Sunday, Jan. 18. Charles Woods would likely draw the start at outside cornerback if Gonzalez doesn't exit the concussion protocol in time.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
A torn labrum in his shoulder limited Gonzalez to four regular-season games as a rookie, but now that the No. 17 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft is back in action, he's slated to claim a key role in New England's secondary this coming season. Along with Jonathan Jones and Marcus Jones, Gonzalez forms the nucleus of the team's cornerback group, and provided he can stay healthy, the Oregon product will have an opportunity to achieve IDP relevance in his second campaign as a pro.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Uncertain for Week 1
Gonzalez was unable to practice Monday as he deals with a hamstring injury, putting his status for the Patriots' season opener Sunday against the Raiders in question, Karen Guregian of MassLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
New England's top cornerback has been sidelined since late July due to the issue. Gonzalez is coming off a 2024 season in which he set career highs with 59 tackles and 11 passes defended over 16 regular-season games, and the 2023 first-round pick's absence would be a big loss to the secondary.
