• Bears' Cairo Santos: Concludes low-volume season

  01/06/2025 • By RotoWire

  Santos converted his lone field-goal attempt in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday. Santos posted six or fewer points in each of Chicago's last six games. In addition, the kicker recorded more than seven points in two of 17 games. Normally, Santos is one of the most accurate kickers in the NFL, but his 84 percent field-goal rate was easily the worst during his five years with the Bears. Unless Chicago is able to put together a much better offense next year, Santos may not be able to reach his potential for fantasy football. The veteran is under contract with the team through 2027.

• Bears' Cairo Santos: Succeeds on only kick Thursday

  12/27/2024 • By RotoWire

  Santos made his lone field-goal try and didn't attempt any extra points in Thursday's 6-3 Week 17 loss against Seattle. Neither offense had much success in the low-scoring matchup, and Santos was given only one opportunity to score points. He came through in that instance, nailing a 42-yard field goal in the second quarter. Santos hasn't missed a kick since Week 12, but he's had very low volume of late with just four field goals over his past five contests. He's also logged a modest five extra points during that span, making him an uninspiring, low-floor option in fantasy leagues.

• Bears' Cairo Santos: Makes lone field-goal try Week 16

  12/25/2024 • By RotoWire

  Santos made his only field-goal attempt and converted both his extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-17 loss to Detroit. Santos was successful when called upon, nailing a 30-yard field goal in the third quarter after making both of his extra-point attempts earlier in the contest. The veteran kicker is 19-for-23 on field-goal tries this season, which puts him on pace for his first season below a 90 percent success rate since 2021. Santos is also 22-for-23 on point-after attempts this year.

  Santos was perfect on two field-goal attempts in the Bears' 30-12 loss to the Vikings on Monday. Santos continues to be limited by the inability of the Chicago offense to put up big scoring totals. On the season, the kicker has posted more than seven points twice, and he remains a low-floor fantasy option.
