Firm hold on kicking job Santos enters the season as the Bears' most accurate kicker in franchise history according to the Bears' official site.

Impact Santos is the teams' only kicker on the depth chart this preseason. He's converted 89.1 percent of his field-goal attempts (57 of 64) since joining the team. He's also converted 40 straight field goals, which is not only a team record but the third longest streak in NFL history. Despite his consistent excellence, the Chicago offense has limited him to 62 field-goal attempts over the last two years, which has limited his fantasy scoring potential. Unless the offense makes a significant jump in effectiveness, Santos remains a borderline top-12 kicker.

JULY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Nine points in finale Santos made all three field-goal attempts in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season having made 26 of 30 field-goal attempts and 27 of 28 extra-point...

Impact Although the Bears offense kept Santos from being a high-volume kicker in many games, for the second year in a row, he was very accurate. During the season, he converted multiple field goals in just about half of his games, and with the Chicago offense unlikely to make a monumental leap next year, he'll continue to be a borderline fantasy option in typical leagues. He's signed with the Bears through 2023 with two void years in 2024 and 2025.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Posts nine points Santos connected on both of his field-goal attempts in the Bears' 29-3 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Impact This was just the third time over the last seven games in which Santos has made multiple field goals, and the frequency of his low-scoring games will make him a risky lineup option in Week 18 against the Vikings.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Scores five points Santos made his lone field-goal attempt in the Bears' 25-24 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

Impact Santos converted a 35-yard field goal, though when the Bears scored their third touchdown, they went for a two-point conversion, keeping him to a five-point performance. He's been held to six or fewer points in six of his last eight games, and he'll be considered a low-upside option in Week 17 against the Giants.

DECEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Misses field goal in loss Santos made one of two field-goal attempts in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Vikings on Monday.

Impact Although Santos was accurate on a 34-yard kick, he came up short on a 49-yard attempt late in the first half. With the Bears not scoring a touchdown until the last play of the game, he didn't attempt an extra point. With three or fewer points in three of his last five games, he'll likely be a boom-or-bust fantasy option down the stretch.

DECEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Best game of season Santos was perfect on three field-goal attempts in the Bears' 45-30 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Impact In addition to his three field goals, Santos was also perfect on his three extra-point attempts, giving him a season-high 12 points. Although he's scored at least nine points in three of his last five games, he's been held to three points or fewer on five occasions this year, making him a volatile fantasy option.

Back at practice Santos (illness) returned to full participation at practice Thursday.

Impact The kicker missed Wednesday's practice while dealing with a non-COVID illness, but he returned to log a full practice Thursday. On the season, Santos is 16-for-19 on field-goal attempts and 19-for-20 on PATs.

DECEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Santos (illness) was listed as a non-participant in practice Wednesday due to a non-COVID related illness.

Impact The vagueness of Santos' illness makes it unclear if he will be available for the Bears' Sunday matchup against the Packers, so his status will be worth monitoring throughout the week. The kicker has been rather consistent this season, converting on 16 of 19 field goal attempts, with all three of his misses coming from 40 or more yards away.

DECEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Scores two points Santos converted two extra-point attempts in the Bears' 33-22 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.

Impact Although Santos has scored two or fewer points in two of his last three games, he also has scored at least nine points in three of his last five contests. Overall, his volatility makes him a tough player to trust in weekly fantasy lineups.

Posts double digits Santos made three of four field-goal attempts along with an extra point in the Bears' 16-14 win over the Lions on Thursday.

Impact Santos was a hero when he kicked a short field goal as time expired to give the Bears their fourth win of the season. Despite his strong performance, his only miss was when he was short on a 53-yard attempt. Although he's scored at least nine points in three of his last four games, he's also been held to fewer than four points three times over his last six games, making him a volatile fantasy option.
