ROBBIE GOULD
Season-high four FGM Gould was a perfect 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on point-after tries in Sunday's 33-17 win over the Dolphins.
Impact It was a busy day at the office for Gould, who converted kicks from 36, 43, 47 and 48 yards out. The four made field goals and 15 total points both marked new season highs for the reliable veteran. Gould will enter Sunday's tilt against the Buccaneers having made 14 consecutive field goals.

Another solid outing Gould went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 1-for-1 on point-after tries in Sunday's 13-0 win over the Saints.
Impact It was a low-scoring affair Sunday, but Gould was afforded enough opportunities to produce points for fantasy managers. The veteran leg hit from 24 and 46 yards out and now owns a strong 84 percent conversion rate through 11 games. The 49ers may be asked to score more than 13 points against the Dolphins' dangerous offense Sunday, making Gould a strong play for Week 13.

Perfect for eight points Gould went 1-for-1 on field-goal attempts and 5-for-5 on extra-point tries in Monday's 38-10 win over the Cardinals.
Impact San Francisco's revamped offense moved the ball with ease on Arizona's defense, resulting in plenty of low-pressure kicks for Gould in the blowout victory. The 39-year-old is putting together another reliable season with an 82 percent conversion rate on field goals while converting 96 percent of his PATs. Gould carries a high fantasy floor into Sunday's tilt against the Saints.

Chips in three FGs Gould went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 1-for-2 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Chargers.
Impact Gould wasn't tasked with difficult kicks Sunday (long of 26 yards), resulting in his second game with three made field goals over his last three appearances. The veteran kicker shanked a PAT, as he is prone to do once or twice a year. San Francisco's offense got a lot healthier coming out of the bye week, so Gould's fantasy stock is on the rise heading into a matchup against the Cardinals next Monday.

Puts up seven points in win Gould was a perfect 1-for-1 on field-goal attempts and 4-for-4 on point-after tries in Sunday's 31-14 win over the Rams.
Impact San Francisco's offense was clicking with new addition Christian McCaffrey scoring three touchdowns, so Gould was given the easy task of hitting a chip shot field goal and tacking on PATs. The veteran leg won't be available for Week 9, as the 49ers are entering a bye week. Gould will resume play against the Chargers on Nov. 13 as a reliable fantasy kicker on an offense trending upward for the second half of the season.

Scores 11 points Gould went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 44-23 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Gould was in rare form Sunday, splitting the uprights on long attempts from 49 and 50 yards out respectively. The 11 total points is also the highest mark for the veteran kicker through seven games. Gould makes for a fine kicking option against the Rams next Sunday.

Robbie Gould's 50-Yard FG Goes Right Down the Middle San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould completed his second field goal of day.
OCTOBER 23, 2022 • 49ERS.COM
No FG attempts in loss Gould (knee) did not attempt a field goal and converted both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 28-14 loss to Atlanta.
Impact Gould injured his knee making two tackles last week, but he was healthy enough to suit up for Sunday's contest. Hopefully the veteran's injury designation moved fantasy managers away from him for this dud. The positive news is that Gould looked healthy on both of his successful point-after tries, putting him back on the map for a matchup with Kansas City next Sunday.

Officially cleared for Week 6 Gould (knee) was removed from the 49ers' injury report Friday and has been cleared to play in Sunday's game in Atlanta, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Though the 49ers signed Sam Sloman to the practice squad earlier this week to have another kicker on hand as insurance, Gould made enough progress in his recovery from the left knee contusion he picked up in last Sunday's win over Carolina to get the green light for Week 6. After sitting out the 49ers' initial Week 6 practice Wednesday, Gould returned to the field Thursday as a full participant and seemingly erased any concerns the 49ers might have had about his health. Through San Francisco's first five games this season, Gould has converted six of nine field-goal tries and 11 of 11 extra-point attempts.

Puts in full practice Gould (knee) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Impact Gould's full listing comes as somewhat of a surprise after he was listed as a non-participant Wednesday and wasn't seen doing any kicking work in the open portion of Thursday's session, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. However, the 39-year-old must have done enough behind the scenes Thursday to convince the 49ers that his left knee contusion isn't anything that will affect his availability for Sunday's game in Atlanta. The 49ers were still compelled to sign kicker Sam Sloman to the practice squad Wednesday, so he'll be on hand as an insurance option in the event that Gould's condition takes an unexpected turn for the worse heading into the weekend.

Impact According to Matt Barrows of The Athletic, Gould was in uniform during the 49ers' second Week 6 practice, but he didn't attempt any kicks and was spotted doing jogging and conditioning work. Though Gould's injury is a contusion to his left knee -- his non-kicking knee -- he could still be experiencing enough discomfort in his plant leg to put his status in question for Sunday's game in Atlanta. The 49ers signed Sam Sloman to their practice squad Tuesday and will presumably elevate him to the 53-man roster if Gould isn't able to handle kicking duties Sunday.

Sits out practice Wednesday Gould (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Gould sustained a left knee contusion during the team's Week 5 win over the Panthers, and while he appears to have avoided a serious injury, he may still need some time off to recover. The 49ers will work out several free-agent kickers this week in the event that they need an emergency replacement for Sunday's game in Atlanta.

Will undergo further evaluation 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said that Gould will be reevaluated Wednesday for a knee contusion sustained during Sunday's 37-15 win over the Panthers, Eric Branch of the San Francisco...
Impact Gould appears to have avoided any serious knee damage after sustaining this injury in the third quarter of the 49ers' Week 5 win, though the exact severity of this issue should become clearer following Wednesday's evaluation. Shanahan added that the team will try out free agent kickers this week in case the 39-year-old is ultimately ruled out for this coming Sunday's game against Atlanta. Gould made one of his two field-goal attempts and all three PATs before exiting against Carolina, and he has converted 17 of his 21 total kicking attempts so far this season.

Won't return Sunday Gould (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Gould was banged up while making a tackle on a kick return in the third quarter Sunday, and he'll be unavailable down the stretch. His status for next Sunday's game against Atlanta isn't yet clear. Prior to his departure, Gould converted one of two field-goal attempts while making all three of his extra-point tries.
