2024 Fantasy Outlook
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 recorded six tackles (six solo) and two pass breakups, including one interception, in the Patriots' loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Gonzalez picked off Tyler Huntley on a pass intended for Odell Beckham in the first quarter. It was Gonzalez's first interception of the season and the second of his career after he appeared in just four games as a 2023 first-round rookie. On the season, Gonzalez has 23 tackles (21 solo) and three pass breakups, including the one interception, through five contests.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
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
Poised for big 2024
CBNew England Patriots
February 17, 2024
After a 2023 rookie campaign that was cut short due to a season-ending shoulder injury sustained in Week 4, Gonzalez is set to take the next step in his production in 2024, Gilberto Manzano of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gonzalez, who was taken 17th in the 2023 NFL Draft, had a strong start to his rookie campaign, as he accumulated 16 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, three passes defended and an interception over his first three games. However, Gonzalez had his season cut short after sustaining a torn labrum in Week 4 against the Cowboys. With new head coach Jerod Mayo taking the reins, Manzano believes that having a defensive-minded coach at the helm should benefit Gonzalez heading into 2024.
