Matt Gay’s signing with Washington anchors stability at a key fantasy-factors position for 2025. The 31-year-old has a career field-goal clip around 85.5% and even owns the NFL record for four 50-plus-yard field goals in a single game, suggesting dependable long-range value for the Commanders’ scoring chances this season.

Last season’s kicking carousel—Austin Seibert, Zane Gonzalez, Greg Joseph, Cade York—highlighted Washington’s need for reliability. Gay’s track record should translate to steadier weekly points, fewer late-game misses, and clearer projection paths for fantasy managers. Kyle Hamilton’s mention adds a defensive lens on Week 1 odds and potential special-teams outcomes as Washington aims for a run at the title.
