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.

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.

Chicago Bears PK Cairo Santos is confident heading into the Week 10 game against the New York Giants despite an ugly weather forecast calling for temperatures just above freezing with winds at 20-25 MPH, gusting up to 28 MPH. 'I'm comfortable in it,' Santos said Saturday, Nov. 8. 'It's perfect that we got two windy days kicking Wednesday and (Friday), and it's similar to the Saints game a couple weeks ago, so it's something I'm familiar with.'

Fantasy Spin: While Santos might say he is confident, heavy winds can wreak havoc with the kick game. In addition, coaches can sometimes elect to go for two more, rather than attempt extra points, while also electing to go for it more on fourth down rather than attempt field goals. If you normally rely upon Santos for fantasy purposes, it might be a good idea to go another way.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Chicago Bears CB Kyler Gordon (calf, groin), RB Roschon Johnson (back), OT Braxton Jones (knee), TE Cole Kmet (back) and CB Tyrique Stevenson (shoulder) did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 24, and have been ruled out for Week 8. RB D'Andre Swift (groin) was limited during practice and is listed as questionable. DE Austin Booker (knee), LB Amen Ogbongbemiga (knee) and PK Cairo Santos (thigh) fully participated in practice but are listed as questionable. LB Tremaine Edmunds (ankle), DT Grady Jarrett (knee), WR DJ Moore (hip), OG Joe Thuney (non-injury) and CB Nahshon Wright (hip) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.

Chicago Bears RB Roschon Johnson (back), OT Braxton Jones (knee), TE Cole Kmet (back), DB Tyrique Stevenson (shoulder), and OL Joe Thuney (rest) did not practice on Thursday, Oct. 23. LB Tremaine Edmunds (ankle), DB Kyler Gordon (groin, calf), RB D'Andre Swift (groin), and WR DJ Moore (hip) were limited in practice.

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.

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos (thigh) has been ruled out for the upcoming Week 7 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Santos will officially miss his second straight game due to a lingering thigh issue. Jake Moody will handle the kicking duties in Chicago for at least one more week. Moody made four of his five field goal attempts, including a game-winner during last week's win over the Washington Commanders. Moody should offer streaming value for fantasy managers in need of a kicker for this weekend.

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos (thigh) has been ruled out for the Week 6 game on Monday night against the Washington Commanders. Santos drew a questionable tag on Saturday despite three full practices this week, and now he has been ruled out. The Bears elevated kicker Jake Moody from their practice squad to the active 53-man roster before the game, so he is in line to make his debut with Chicago on Monday Night Football. The 25-year-old Moody was cut by the San Francisco 49ers after going 1-for-3 in the season opener. Moody's struggles from last year continued in Week 1 in the Bay Area, but now he'll get another shot to prove himself with the Bears, with Santos injured. It could just be a one-week showcase, though, if Santos is ready to kick again for the team's Week 7 game against the New Orleans Saints.

The Chicago Bears have declared OG Luke Newman, DE Tanoh Kpassagnon, PK Cairo Santos, QB Case Keenum, DL Grady Jarrett, WR Jahdae Walker and LB Ruben Hyppolite II inactive for Week 6.

From TheHuddle

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos (thigh) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Monday night matchup against the Washington Commanders. He has logged in three straight full practices this week. That being said, it sounds like Santos is trending towards suiting up for this game. The Bears might just be playing it safe here and are tagging Santos as questionable just in case. If he's unable to play, Jake Moody figures to be elevated from the practice squad. Neither kicker is an ideal streaming choice at the moment.
