Connor Barth: Officially waived Monday
The Bears waived Connor Barth on Monday, Adam Hoge of WGN Radio 720 AM Chicago reports.The move was fully expected after the Bears came to terms with Cairo Santos on a contract earlier Monday, one day after Barth missed what would have been a game-tying kick from 46 yards out with seconds remaining in a 27-24 loss to the Lions. Accuracy was an issue for Barth while he served as the Bears' kicker in 2016, and he took a step back in that regard this season, converting only 11 of 16 field-goal tries, including four misses from the 40-to-49-yard range. The Bears are banking on Santos, who has a career 84.8 percent success rate on field goals, being a more reliable source of scoring than Barth.

Bears' Connor Barth: Misses game-tying kick in Sunday loss
Connor Barth made one of two field-goal attempts while adding three extra points in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Lions.Barth had a chance to tie the game at 27 in the waning moments, but his wide kick never had a chance of finding the uprights. As long as he remains on the Chicago Bears' roster, he'll be a low-upside fantasy option, as he's posted six or fewer points in three of his last four contests.

Bears' Connor Barth: Best performance of season
Connor Barth made all three of his field-goal attempts while converting an extra point in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Packers.Barth had his first perfect outing since Week 6, leading to a season-high 10 points. Although he's been a weak fantasy option for most of the season, he's had three field-goal attempts in two straight games, and with the Chicago Bears improving a bit on offense, Barth could be emerging as a useful fantasy option.

Bears' Connor Barth: Misses another field goal
Connor Barth connected on two of three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Saints.Barth missed a field goal that would have given the Chicago Bears a much better chance of winning, although he did post six points overall. He's missed four of his last 10 kicks, and it wouldn't surprise anyone if Chicago started holding kicker tryouts in the near future. Otherwise, with seven field goals in eight games, he continues to be a weak fantasy option.

Bears' Connor Barth: Five-point effort
Connor Barth kicked a 19-yard field goal along with a pair of extra points in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Panthers.Barth was in line for a potential 43-yard field-goal attempt, but after Mitch Trubisky took a third-down sack, he ended up attempting the kick from 53 yards out and came up short. His successful three-pointer came from a nominal distance, and he had another sub-par fantasy performance. He'll continue to be a weak fantasy option for the time being, as he simply doesn't get enough opportunities to be a consistent producer with the present conservative state of the Chicago Bears offense.

Bears' Connor Barth: Tallies nine points

Although he had a productive afternoon, his season high before this week was five points, which prevents him from being a recommended fantasy option in leagues that start one kicker.

Bears' Connor Barth: Tallies one point in Week 5
Connor Barth converted an extra point, but didn't attempt a field goal in Monday's loss to the Vikings.The Chicago Bears struggled to move the ball consistently against a stout Minnesota defense, and Barth wasn't called upon to attempt a field goal. In addition, after the team scored its second touchdown of the night, it opted to go for a two-point conversion. Playing on a low-volume offense, he's a weak fantasy option.
