Bears
Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is a solid but unexciting fantasy option in Week 14 as he faces the San Francisco 49ers. Santos' most recent outing was limited, as he only had the opportunity to attempt two extra points during the game, both of which he successfully converted. This highlights how the Bears' offense can often cap his fantasy upside, as he doesn't always get many scoring opportunities. While Santos could have a decent game this Sunday, better options are likely available for those looking to stream a kicker. Given the matchup with a tough 49ers defense, it's worth exploring other kickers who may see more chances to score.

Cairo Santos A Solid, Low-Risk Kicker Play In Week 13 Against Lions
Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is a solid, somewhat unexciting fantasy option in Week 13 as he faces the Detroit Lions. Santos' most recent performance was a mixed bag, as he had his first field goal blocked but bounced back to make the next two attempts. While the Lions' defense ranks second in points allowed, they're not necessarily the most favorable matchup for kickers, given their ability to limit scoring opportunities. However, if the game turns into a high-scoring affair, Santos could see plenty of kicking chances, boosting his fantasy potential. Santos remains a reliable play in Week 13, particularly in leagues where kicker performance is crucial. He may have a lower upside, but he should provide solid, consistent points in a game that could offer multiple field goal attempts.

Cairo Santos An Unexciting Kicker Play In Week 12
Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is a solid but somewhat unexciting fantasy option in Week 12 as he faces the Minnesota Vikings. Santos' most recent performance was a mixed bag while he successfully converted his first two field goals, he had a chance to win the game with a field goal at the buzzer, only to see it get blocked. Whether that missed opportunity will linger in Santos' mind remains to be seen, but he has generally been reliable throughout the season, making him a dependable kicker option. Minnesota's defense has been tough on passing offenses this year, ranking fourth in points per game allowed and first in EPA per play, which could mean fewer scoring opportunities for the Bears. Still, Santos has been consistent in terms of accuracy, and with the potential for field-goal attempts in a low-scoring game, he's worth considering. While there are likely higher-upside options available, Santos is a steady, if unspectacular, play for Week 12. If you're dealing with bye-week issues or injury concerns, he's a reasonable choice, but don't expect a game-changing performance.

Cairo Santos A Solid Yet Unexciting Kicker Option In Week 11
Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is a solid, if somewhat unexciting, fantasy option for Week 11 as he prepares to face the Green Bay Packers. Santos had a reasonably typical performance in his most recent outing, converting his only field goal attempt from 33 yards out. While Santos didn't have a game-changing performance, he remains reliable in accuracy and consistency. This week, there is a significant shake-up in Chicago's offense, as the team fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron just nine games into his tenure. The hope is that the change in leadership will spark a more productive offense, which could result in more scoring opportunities for Santos. Santos should see more chances for field goals and extra points if the Bears' offense improves. While he's still a somewhat average fantasy kicker, the potential for increased usage could make him a slightly more appealing option in Week 11, especially if the coaching change leads to an uptick in overall offensive efficiency.

Cairo Santos A Reliable But Unexciting Fantasy Kicker Option In Week 10
Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is a solid yet somewhat unexciting fantasy option for Week 10 as he prepares to face the New England Patriots. In his last outing, Santos had a productive game, converting all three field goal attempts, including makes from 29, 53, and 53 yards. While the Bears' offense has been inconsistent, Santos' accuracy has been reliable, and the Patriots' defense, ranked 21st in points allowed this season, gives him a decent chance to put up points. With a potential for more field goal attempts and extra points in a matchup where the Bears may struggle to punch the ball into the end zone consistently, Santos could provide some solid fantasy production. He may not offer the excitement of a high-scoring game, but if you're looking for a steady kicker option, Santos is a startable choice for Week 10.

Cairo Santos A Steady But Unexciting Kicker Option For Week 9
Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is a solid yet somewhat unexciting fantasy option for Week 9 as he prepares to face the Arizona Cardinals. In his last outing, Santos had a minimal role, managing to get on the field only for one extra point, as the Bears' offense struggled significantly particularly in the passing game which resulted in no field goal attempts. With the game's over/under set at a modest 44.5 points, it seems likely to be a low-scoring affair. Fantasy managers might find other kickers on the waiver wire who offer more upside this week, making them potentially more appealing options. However, it's important to note that Santos has been reliable and consistent when given opportunities. While more attractive alternatives may be available, if you're in a pinch, you can feel comfortable including Santos in your lineup as a backup option.

Cairo Santos Reliable Kicking Option Against Commanders In Week 8
Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is a solid fantasy option for Week 8 against the Washington Commanders. Although he missed his only field goal attempt last week against the Jaguars, he did convert all five of his extra points. The Bears' offense is expected to perform well against Washington this Sunday, providing Santos with several kicking opportunities. However, his fantasy value is limited, as the offense has been so effective that they often score touchdowns instead of relying on field goals. While more attractive options may be available, you can comfortably include Santos in your lineup if needed.

Cairo Santos A Solid Fantasy Option Against The Jaguars
Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is a reliable fantasy option for Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He had a mixed performance in his Week 5 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, successfully converting his only field goal attempt from 30 yards but missing one of four extra-point attempts. Santos will likely see plenty of action again this week in London, as the Bears are expected to move the ball effectively against a struggling Jaguars defense.

Cairo Santos A Strong Fantasy Kicker Option Against The Panthers
Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is a solid fantasy option for Week 5 against the Carolina Panthers. Although he has struggled in the past two weeks, managing only one field goal in each game, he did convert all three of his extra point attempts and his lone field goal in the Bears' 24-18 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 4, totaling six points. As one of the top streaming kickers and a viable bye-week replacement, Santos has a favorable matchup this week. The Panthers allow a league-high 32.3 points per game and an average of 2.3 field goals per contest. With this in mind, the veteran kicker presents an appealing lineup option for fantasy managers in Week 5.

Cairo Santos A Reliable Fantasy Kicker Against The Rams
Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is a solid fantasy starter for Week 4 against the Los Angeles Rams. In the Bears' 21-16 loss to the Colts, Santos made one of two field-goal attempts. After a strong season opener where he scored 10 points, his production has dipped to seven and four points in the following weeks. While the Bears have faced offensive struggles, they have improved since the opener. Crucially for Santos, the Rams' injury issues may hinder their ability to sustain drives, potentially giving the Bears more scoring opportunities. Notably, four of Santos' six field goals this season have been from 50 yards or longer, showcasing his reliability from distance. However, given the Bears' offensive inconsistencies, Santos is likely to remain a low-end fantasy option on a weekly basis.
