Moody’s job security is tied to every kick after a shaky camp; last season’s late game-winning kick gave him confidence, but the competition with a veteran or steady alternative keeps Moody on a short leash ahead of Week 1.

Moody's camp narrative swings from rough to clutch; a 59-yard make highlighted his potential, but the overall trust meter sits around 70% as SF weighs kicking reliability vs. risk in 2025.

Moody handled the late drama, drilling a trio of fourth-quarter fields and delivering when SF trailed. His pressure-tested performance underscores a route to reliable fantasy value if he maintains the role, especially given SF’s reliance on field goals in tight games.

Moody started with a shaky half but closed with a perfect finish in a wild fourth, then nailed a 59-yarder to force drama. His ability to bounce back after misses in the half is a tangible confidence boost, though SF will keep evaluating the long-range reliability as Week 1 looms.

Moody answered the call with a 59-yard game-winner after an earlier miss, stabilizing a kicker competition that had narrowed to him. The clutch kick reinforced confidence in Moody’s ability to handle late-game pressure and gave SF a clear future in the kicking game as week one approaches.
