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

No designation for Sunday

January 16, 2026
Gonzalez (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's divisional-round game against the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Coach Mike Vrabel called Gonzalez questionable to face Houston earlier in the day Friday, but that appeared to be a mishap on Vrabel's part, as Gonzalez cleared protocol and is ready to go for a date with Jayden Higgins after Nico Collins (concussion) was ruled out for Sunday.

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.
Gonzalez, who surprisingly fell to the Patriots in the No. 17 slot of the 2023 NFL Draft, profiles as the "toolsiest" corner in his class at 6-2, 201 pounds with 4.38 speed and the length to stick on the outside. Not only was the Oregon product a great value, he also fills what was considered one of the team's top pre-draft needs. As a result, Gonzalez should challenge for reps immediately opposite Jonathan Jones.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Uncertain for Week 1
CBNew England Patriots
September 1, 2025
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.
