Eddy Pineiro Fantasy

Chicago Bears kicker Eddy Pineiro missed two more field goals -- one from 47 yards and one from 48 yards out -- in Sunday night's loss to the Rams. Pineiro was 8-for-10 on his field goals and perfect on extra points going into the bye week, but he's hitting just 50 percent of his kicks since then and hasn't made a field goal since going 3-for-5 against the Chargers. Head coach Matt Nagy is disappointed in Pineiro, but he's not ready to make a change at the position just yet. Im not worried about anything right now, Pieiro said. Ive just go to keep making kicks in practice, go back and see what I did wrong, and just try to make kicks. Even in a good matchup with the Giants next week, Pineiro shouldn't be in starting lineups.

Chicago Bears kicker Eddy Pineiro made 3 of 5 field goal attempts in the Bears 17-16 loss to the Chargers in Week 8. Pineiro hit the uprights on a 33-yard attempt in the first half and then was called upon to win the game with :04 left. But Pineiro missed again from 41 yards as time expired and now the Bears season is quickly slipping away. The rookie kicker has done a solid job this season and now has made 12 of 15 field goal attempts. But his failure to win this one will stick with Bears fans for awhile, sending flashbacks to the team's kicking woes with Cody Parkey last season.

Chicago Bears kicker Eddy Pineiro (knee) was questionable coming into Sunday's Week 4 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings, but fantasy owners are glad he played. Pineiro connected on all three of his field goal attempts in this one. He finished with 10 total points, while the Vikings finished with six points in the loss to the Bears. It appears that the knee issue is behind Pineiro. However, Pineiro doesn't have great fantasy value going forward. The Bears offense has struggled to get into scoring position most games. Fantasy owners who need a kicker because of a bye week should take a look at Pineiro. The Bears have a strong matchup against the Oakland Raiders in Week 5.
