Gostkowski made all four of his field goal attempts in Sunday's 33-3 win over the Steelers, en route to recording 15 points in the contest.

EDGE Analysis

That production isn't going to be sustainable, but the Patriots offense was sharp in Week 1 and will soon be bolstered by the addition of wideout Antonio Brown. As a result, Gostkowski's team context remains favorable and he profiles as one of fantasy's more reliable kicking options.

Gostkowski is signing a two-year contract to stay with the Patriots, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

While he reportedly drew some interest from San Francisco, the 35-year-old was always most likely to stay in New England for a 14th season with the Patriots. His leg strength is merely adequate at this stage of his career, but he's still one of the more accurate short-range kickers in the league and is still attached to a Tom Brady offense. Gostkowski is working on a streak of eight consecutive seasons with at least 27 successful field goals and 44 extra points, making him the most reliable option at an unpredictable position.

The 49ers are showing interest in Gostkowski, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 49ers placed their franchise tag on kicker Robbie Gould, who thus far has opted not to sign the $4.971 million tender. Meanwhile, Gostkowski presumably prefers to stay in New England but hasn't received a contract offer to his liking. The 49ers can rescind Gould's tender and allow him to become an unrestricted free agent if they decide to sign Gostkowski. Bother kickers offer impressive accuracy with middling leg strength.

The Patriots and Gostkowski are making progress with negotiations on a new contract, Tom E. Curran of NBC Sports Boston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite finishing in the top 10 in points scored 11 times in his 13 seasons, Gostkowski wasn't extended the franchise tag by the deadline like he was in 2015. The Patriots' decision left him free to explore all options once the new league year started March 13, but it appears as if he'll stick with the only organization he's ever known.

Gostkowski is not receiving a franchise tag from the Patriots, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

There's still a chance Gostkowski re-signs with New England, but he'll at least have an opportunity to assess other offers. Regardless of whether its Gostkowski or another player, the Patriots' kicker will be a sensible choice at the end of fantasy drafts until Tom Brady retires.

Gostkowski made two of his three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 13-3 win over the Rams in Super Bowl LIII.

EDGE Analysis

Gostkowski, who added an extra point in the contest, finished the regular season ranked fifth overall among NFL kickers in scoring with 130 points. The 35-year-old is eligible to become a free agent this offseason, but we suspect the Patriots would like to retain the 2006 fourth-rounder, either via a contract extension or through the application of the team's franchise tag.

Gostkowski made his only field-goal attempt (from 47 yards) and was 4-for-4 on extra points in Sunday's AFC Championship.

EDGE Analysis

Gostkowski ranked fifth in scoring amongst kickers in 2018 and was consistent as ever Sunday. Through two playoff games he's hit on all three of his field-goal attempts and all nine of his extra points.

Gostkowski, who made 27 of 32 field goal attempts this past season, ended up recording 130 points in 2018.

EDGE Analysis

That's a 26-point drop-off from 2017, but Gostkowski still carved out fantasy utility while kicking behind the New England offense, ranking fifth overall among NFL kickers in scoring. Gostkowski is eligible to become a free agent this offseason, but we suspect that the Patriots would like to retain the 34-year-old, either through a contract extension or via the application of their franchise tag.

Gostkowski made his only field-goal attempt (from 24 yards) in Sunday's 24-12 win over the Bills, en route to recording six points.

EDGE Analysis

Gostkowski heads into Week 17 with 122 points, a mark that places him seventh in the league. He's been a solid fantasy kicker this season, but the 34-year-old has slipped some on that front, after having logged 156 points (good for second in the NFL) last season.

Gostkowski made his only field-goal attempt in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Steelers, en route to logging four points.

EDGE Analysis

The four points tie Gostkowski's season-low output from Weeks 3 and 10, but he's generally a pretty steady fantasy option while kicking behind the New England offense.
