49ers' Robbie Gould: Remains reliable at advanced age
Rotowire
Gould converted 84 percent of his field-goal attempts (27-for-32) across 17 regular-season games in 2022.
Gould also converted a career-high 50 point-after tries on 51 attempts, rounding out another accurate fantasy season. The 40-year-old is scheduled to become a free agent this upcoming offseason and should have plenty of suitors if he chooses to hit the open market. If Gould opts to play for a team other than the 49ers in 2023, his fantasy value would remain high given his proven accuracy over the years.

Rotowire
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.

49ers' Robbie Gould: No FG attempts in loss
Rotowire
Gould (knee) did not attempt a field goal and converted both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 28-14 loss to Atlanta.
Gould injured his knee making two tackles last week, but he was healthy enough to suit up for Sunday's contest. Perhaps 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 on Sunday.

49ers' Robbie Gould: Officially cleared for Week 6
Rotowire
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.
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.

49ers' Robbie Gould: Puts in full practice
Rotowire
Gould (knee) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
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.

49ers' Robbie Gould: Not kicking Thursday
Rotowire
Gould (knee) was working out on a side field during the media-access portion of Thursday's practice and is expected to be listed as a non-participant for the second straight day, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
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.

49ers' Robbie Gould: Will undergo further evaluation
Rotowire
San Francisco 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 Chronicle reports.
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 PAT tries before exiting against Carolina. He has converted 17 of his 21 total kicking attempts so far this season.
