Zane Gonzalez: Dolphins elevate kicker, release Riley Patterson

THE FACT. Miami elevated kicker Zane Gonzalez from the practice squad for Sunday and released Riley Patterson, whose spot Gonzalez takes, according to NBC Sports' Charean Williams on Saturday afternoon.

THE VERDICT. Redraft: Gonzalez is the Dolphins' kicker now, and a team cutting a kicker in-season on a Saturday is telling you it had seen enough. In kicker leagues he becomes a streaming option once Miami's offense starts producing field-position range, but there is no reason to spend a claim on him this week. Waiver Wire: pass. DFS: fade - a brand-new kicker with no established range is the worst kind of cheap punt.
