Bears' Cairo Santos: Looks to be No. 1 kicker for 2026
Santos currently doesn't have any viable competition for the role of Chicago's primary placekicker, Alyssa Barbieri and Brendan Sugrue of Bears Wire report.
Santos had an uneven 2025 season, making just 25 of 30 field-goal attempts, including going 4-for-6 from 50-plus yards. However, he made all 39 of point-after tries and hit several clutch FGs, including a game-winning 48-yard kick as time expired against Minnesota in Week 11. With that said, the 12-year veteran doesn't have anywhere near the strongest leg in the league, and he missed a pair of contests last year due to a thigh injury. The Bears don't currently have another kicker on the roster, so Santos looks set to open 2026 as the team's primary option at that position. However, Barbieri and Sugrue suggest Chicago could move on at some point given Santos' lack of a big leg, which puts him behind most top kickers in the league.

Bears' Cairo Santos: No opportunities in finale
Santos did not attempt a kick in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Santos provided a stable weekly fantasy floor across the season, scoring fewer than six points in only two games while finishing with a high of 13 points. However, his efficiency continued to trend down after failing to top 84.0 percent accuracy for the second straight year. He is signed with Chicago through 2027 but offers limited upside relative to other fantasy kickers.

Bears' Cairo Santos: Makes all six kicks on SNF
Santos made his lone field-goal attempt and all five PATs in Sunday night's 42-38 loss to the 49ers.
Chicago and San Francisco were trading punches all night on offense. Santos' lone field goal was good from 29 yards, and his five PATs tied a season-high mark from Week 9 against the Bengals. On the year, Santos has made 25 of 30 field-goal tries and all 39 of his extra points.

Bears' Cairo Santos: Converts three field goals in win
Santos made all three of his field-goal tries and his only extra-point attempt Saturday in a 22-16 overtime win against Green Bay.
Weather conditions were far from ideal for kickers, as high winds provided a significant challenge. That made Santos' accuracy all the more impressive -- his field-goal makes were far from chip shots, coming from 46, 51 and 43 yards out. Santos has made 24 of 29 FG tries and 34 of 34 PATs though 13 games on the season (he missed two games earlier in the campaign due to a thigh injury).

Bears' Cairo Santos: Makes one FGA in Week 15
Santos went 1-for-2 on field-goal tries and made all four of his PATs in Sunday's 31-3 win over the Browns.
Santos hit the right upright on a 35-yard field-goal attempt, notching his first miss since Week 11. The kicker later redeemed himself with a 41-yard make in the fourth quarter. On the year, Santos has now gone 21-for-26 on field-goal tries, including 3-for-5 from 50-plus yards, while converting all 33 of his extra-point attempts over 12 contests.

Bears' Cairo Santos: Makes every kick Sunday
Santos hit both field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Packers.
Santos hit from 33 yards in the second quarter and 41 in the third. A tough matchup against a good defense and a two-point conversion by his own team limited his extra-point opportunities, though. The Bears face another tough defense, Cleveland, in Week 15.

Bears' Cairo Santos: Perfect in road win
Santos made his only field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries during Friday's 24-15 win at Philadelphia.
Santos wasn't asked to do much on a chilly November day against the Eagles, as his only field-goal try came from just 30 yards out. He remains perfect for the season on field goals from within 40 yards and on point-after attempts. The Bears will take on one of the league's best defenses in Green Bay in Week 14, likely putting a cap on his fantasy upside.

Bears' Cairo Santos: Makes all five kicks in Week 12 win
Santos made his lone field-goal attempt and all four of his extra-point tries in Chicago's 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.
Santos drilled a 47-yard field goal at the end of the first half to give the Bears a 21-17 lead going into the locker room. On the season, Santos has made 17 of 21 field-goal tries and all 25 of his extra points. Santos doesn't have a huge leg but is typically pretty consistent from inside 50 yards. The Bears travel to Philadelphia on Black Friday for Week 13.

Bears' Cairo Santos: Nails game-winning kick
Santos went 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts and made his only PAT in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Vikings.
Santos was a busy man in Week 11, making a 38-yard field goal in the second quarter before later adding makes from 54 and 33 yards in the third. The kicker did miss a 45-yard field-goal try halfway through the fourth quarter, but he made up for it with a game-winning 48-yard field goal as time expired in regulation. Santos has now gone 16-for-20 on field-goal attempts, including 4-for-6 from 50-plus yards, while also making all 21 of his extra-point tries over eight contests this season.
