Coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that the 49ers intend to bring in a veteran kicker "who's capable of taking that job" to compete with Moody this offseason, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shanahan communicated a belief that competition could bring out the best in Moody going forward, saying, "If he can overcome that, and beat out a capable guy, that'll show us he's ready for the season." A 2023 third-round pick, Moody's struggles in 2024 can be attributed in part to a high-ankle sprain that forced him to miss three contests and could have continued to impact his performance upon return to the field. He converted just 71 percent of his field-goal attempts across 14 regular-season appearances and made only four of nine field-goal tries from 50-plus yards out.

Moody went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts while converting all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 47-24 loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Moody managed to hit his first field goal from 51 yards out, but he shanked the ensuing 47-yard attempt. The 2023 third-round pick has struggled mightily ever since missing a key PAT in the 49ers' Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs last season. NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco believes it would be a "controversial decision" to keep Moody in house after his bout of inconsistency this season, and its hard to argue against that statement.

Moody missed both of his field-goal attempts while going 4-for-5 on point-after tries in Monday's 40-34 loss to the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Moody's struggles in 2024 continued with another multi-miss outing in Week 17. In the 2023 third-round pick's defense, both of his misses on Monday Night Football came from 50-plus yards out. Still, Moody saw his season conversion rate on FGs drop to 72 percent in addition to missing his first PAT in a six-point loss for San Francisco. The 24-year-old may be in jeopardy of losing his starting job if he is unable to show some composure in Sunday's season-finale against Arizona.

Moody went 4-for-5 on extra-point attempts but missed both of his field-goal tries during the 49ers' 40-34 loss to the Lions on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Moody had a solid start to Monday night's game when he converted on his first three extra-point tries, but he missed right on a 51-yard field goal near the end of the first half. His 48-yard field-goal attempt early in the fourth quarter sailed left, and after missing his final extra-point try with less than a minute left to play, he capped things off with an onside-kick attempt that was blasted straight out of bounds. In the eight games since the 49ers' Week 9 bye, the 2023 third-round pick has gone 10-for-18 on field-goal attempts (including 3-for-7 and 1-for-5 on attempts from 40 to 49 yards and 50-plus yards, respectively) and 17-for-18 on extra-point tries. Moody will look to bounce back in the 49ers' regular-season finale against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Moody went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries in Sunday's 29-17 loss to Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Moody's 41-yard miss in the third quarter was instrumental to the 49ers' demise, as it would have kept the deficit within one score. Instead, Miami was able to keep the lead just out of reach before De'Von Achane put the game away with a 50-yard scamper late in the fourth quarter. Moody is proving to be just an average kicking option despite his third-round pedigree, and the same could be said for his fantasy value against Detroit next Monday.

Moody went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts with no point-after tries in Thursday's 12-6 loss to the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

Moody was the only 49ers' player to record any points in Thursday's low-scoring affair. The sophomore kicker set a new career best in FGs made (22) at a 79 percent clip through 11 games. With San Francisco falling apart at the end of the campaign, Moody checks in as a mid-tier kicking option in Week 16 against the Dolphins.

Moody nailed his only field-goal attempt from 23 yards out while going 5-for-5 on point-after tries in Sunday's 38-13 win over the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

Moody had a much smoother experience at home in sunny Santa Clara, CA compared to last week's two-miss game on the road against Buffalo. The sophomore leg has now gone 20-for-26 on field-goal attempts while hitting 100 percent of his PATs in 10 active games this season. Moody and the 49ers remain at home on a short week for a pivotal NFC West matchup against the Rams on Thursday.

Moody went 1-for-3 on field-goal attempts while hitting his only point-after try in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Moody missed multiple attempts for the second time in four weeks, shanking kicks from 45 and 55 yards out. The kicker's last blunder-filled outing came in calm conditions, but a harsh snow storm in Buffalo was likely the culprit this time around. The sophomore has missed just one FGA in his seven other active games this season, leading to a decent 76 percent make rate through nine total contests. Moody should resume his consistent play with a pair of home tilts on tap in sunny Santa Clara, CA, starting with the Bears this coming Sunday.

Moody went 1-for-1 on field-goal attempts and 1-for-1 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 38-10 loss to Green Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Moody only received two kicking opportunities in the lopsided defeat sans starting quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder). San Francisco's kicker hasn't missed a kick since his horrific Week 10, but his low usage has dampened his fantasy value. Moody and the 49ers will stay on the road to face the Bills in the snow next Sunday.

Moody nailed his only field-goal attempt from 33 yards out while converting both point-after tries in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Moody had a tumultuous return from injury in Week 10, missing three FGAs before mercifully hitting his last kick to finish off a win over Tampa Bay. Things went a lot smoother this time around, albeit in a losing effort on far less kicking attempts. Moody should resume being a safe play in fantasy, but it is worth noting his upcoming schedule that features two road games outdoors on the east coast. The first test comes on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field when the 49ers visit the Packers next Sunday.
