Cairo Santos's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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.

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.

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is a reliable fantasy choice for Week 3 against the Indianapolis Colts. Santos has quietly emerged as one of the NFL's top kickers, finishing last season tied for the second-most fantasy points at his position, behind only Brandon Aubrey. He kicked three field goals and an extra point in Week 1, followed by two 50-yard field goals and another extra point in Week 2. With a solid start to the season, totaling 24 fantasy points over his first two games, Santos is worth starting this week. The Colt's defense has allowed 20 field-goal conversions since last season, ranking second for the most points given up to visiting kickers. He should be rostered and started in all fantasy leagues.

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is a solid fantasy option for Week 2 against the Houston Texans. Santos has quietly established himself as one of the NFL's most reliable kickers. In Week 1, he accounted for nearly half of his team's points, successfully converting on all his attempts, including field goals from 24, 48, and 50 yards, along with two extra points. With the Bears' offense struggling to find its rhythm, Santos had plenty of chances to score. While Caleb Williams and the offense are expected to improve, they might not be able to find the end zone consistently just yet. With a favorable 46.5 over/under for the game, Santos remains a strong fantasy play until Chicago's passing game shows more consistency.
