Cairo Santos a Top Option in Week 2

Chicago Bears placekicker Cairo Santos sees his fantasy value ascending ahead of a divisional clash with the visiting Minnesota Vikings this Sunday. Chicago didn't let up in their trouncing of the Panthers to begin the campaign. Santos didn't have many opportunities to show off his leg from distance, as he was afforded - and connected on - only one field goal chance. However, the thirteen-year veteran was automatic on his extra-point tries - knocking through all eight in the contest. While it's unlikely Santos will boast such lofty figures every week, it's an encouraging sign of what this offense can do every time it takes the field. Moreover, Chicago's defense doesn't look much improved from 2025, meaning the team could often face a shootout. Minnesota may subvert that in Week 2, but Santos should be busy again either way. The Tulane product is RotoBaller's K5 for Sunday's outing.

Cairo Santos in Favorable Week 1 Spot

Chicago Bears veteran placekicker Cairo Santos presents as a strong fantasy asset when his team squares off with the Carolina Panthers on the road in Week 1. The 34-year-old was solid for Chicago in 2025, connecting on 25-of-30 field goal attempts and all 39 of his extra-point attempts. While Santos was nothing more than a middle-of-the-road option last year, he should be afforded plenty of opportunities to be impactful in this campaign. In addition to being tethered to an explosive, exciting offense, the playmakers throughout the defense led the league in takeaways with 33 a season ago. All in all, the veteran is primed to be a useful alternative in fantasy lineups for the duration of the season and can be trusted as a sound start to kick off the 2026 campaign. He's RotoBaller's K9 leading up to the team's first outing.

Cairo Santos Riding Momentum into Must-Start Matchup

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is coming off his best game of the season in Week 11, knocking down four of five field goals, including the game-winner to beat the division rival Minnesota Vikings. It's been an up-and-down year for Santos, who's fought through injuries and kicker controversy with Jake Moody earlier in the year. With Moody in Washington and the injuries behind the veteran kicker, Santos will look to fire off a strong finish to his 12th season. He faces a great matchup in Week 12, against a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to kickers this season. With good weather expected and a ton of confidence, Santos is worth starting in Week 12.

Cairo Santos a Low-Ceiling Option Against Vikings

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos has been a safe floor option at the position this season. Through seven games, Santos has made 12 of 15 kicks, while making all 20 extra point attempts. Santos is averaging 9.1 fantasy points per game this season, which puts him on pace to finish as the 13th-ranked kicker. The Bears face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11, which will be Santos's first indoor game since Week 2. Despite the ideal kicking conditions, the Vikings may fare as a tough matchup for the veteran kicker, as only one other team has forced more missed field goals this season than the Vikings. Santos is a low-end starting option against the Vikings, as he looks to have his first big game of the 2025 season.

Cairo Santos a Must-Sit with Windy Conditions Expected

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos has been inconsistent this season, converting just 78% of his field goal attempts. He's seen plenty of recent volume, with him averaging 3.7 field goal attempts over his last three games. This season, Santos ranks as the No. 11 kicker in fantasy scoring on a per-game basis. However, Week 10 sets up poorly. With 25 mph winds and mid-30s temperatures expected in Chicago, kicking conditions will be difficult. Combine that with Ben Johnson's aggressive fourth-down tendencies, and Santos' opportunities could be limited. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere at kicker this week.

Cairo Santos a Solid Fantasy Option After Impressive Return

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos returned from a multi-game absence last week. He immediately made an impact in his first game back, converting his lone extra point attempt while going 3-for-4 on field goals, including one from 40+ yards out. The 33-year-old has always been a solid kicker, and his productivity has improved this season as the Bears show more signs of life on offense. This week, Santos will take on the Cincinnati Bengals in a potentially close game that should feature high scoring. Cincinnati ranks near the middle of the league in terms of fantasy points allowed to kickers, giving Santos a chance to carve out a fantasy-revelant showing. He's on the border of the fantasy radar right now, ranking as the overall K13 in Week 9, according to RotoBaller's experts.

Cairo Santos Active for Week 8 Return

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos (thigh) is officially active for Sunday's contest against the Baltimore Ravens. Santos has been unable to suit up in each of the last two weeks due to this thigh injury. While he has been sidelined, Jake Moody took over kicking duties in the Windy City. During his first four games of the campaign, Santos went 6-for-7 on field goals while going a perfect 11-for-11 on extra points. Given his role in an emerging offense, Santos should be viewed as a strong K1 in all leagues facing the Ravens, who have allowed the third-most fantasy points to opposing kickers this season.

Cairo Santos on Track to Play in Week 8

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos (thigh) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Santos was able to practice in full on Thursday and Friday. Despite that, Santos still carries the questionable tag into this contest. It's worth noting that the Bears haven't elevated Jake Moody from the practice squad. That means, Santos appears to be trending in the right direction for Sunday's game. Santos has missed each of the last two games due to a thigh issue. Santos could offer more value than normal this weekend considering how bad the Ravens defense has been this season.

Cairo Santos Questionable to Kick Against Ravens

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos (thigh) is listed as questionable to play in the Week 8 game on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens despite practicing in full on Thursday and Friday. Santos should be on the right side of questionable to play this weekend after missing the last two games with a right-thigh injury. Even though Jake Moody filled in admirably the last two weeks with Santos ailing, the Bears should go back to Santos as their primary placekicker if they feel comfortable about his health. The 33-year-old veteran made six of his seven field-goal attempts and all 11 of his extra-point opportunities in his four games for Chicago before his thigh injury. With his health up in the air, though, fantasy managers should be looking elsewhere for a streaming kicker in Week 8. The Ravens defense hasn't really been able to stop anyone in 2025, but they have gotten healthy on that side of the ball coming off their Week 7 bye.

Cairo Santos Limited in Practice Wednesday

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos (thigh) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, according to the team. Santos sustained the injury in Week 4 against the Raiders, before Chicago's Week 5 bye, and has missed the past two games. The 33-year-old kicker has been able to practice over the last few weeks, but hasn't yet gotten to the point of trusting it in a game setting. Jake Moody has handled the kicking duties well in his absence, hitting eight of nine field goal attempts, including a game-winner in Week 6 at Washington. Moody would be a solid streaming option in Week 8 at Baltimore if Santos can't play again.
