Availability
Cairo Santos made both of his field-goal attempts and added three extra points in a 27-7 win over the Eagles in Week 3's Monday night game.
Fantasy Impact
Santos hit field goals from 29 and 48 yards out in the decisive victory over Philadelphia. The veteran kicker has made four of his five field-goal attempts and added 11 extra points through three games this year. He will take on the Jets in Week 4.
Cairo Santos (thigh) missed Chicago's practice on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Santos might be out this week, as he hasn't participated at either of Chicago's practices to start the week. It remains to be seen who they would choose to be their spot starter if the veteran is unable to play against Philadelphia.
Cairo Santos (hip) was absent from practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
The veteran is a new addition to Chicago's injury report, being listed with a hip issue that left him sidelined at practice on Thursday. There doesn't seem to be strong indications one way or the other about his status for Week 3, but either way fantasy managers shouldn't be looking to start him this week with Chicago's offense likely to be down to their second or third-string quarterback.
Cairo Santos converted one of his two field goal attempts in the Bears’ 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2.
Fantasy Impact
Santos had a would-be game-tying field goal attempt blocked in the fourth quarter, snapping a 10 kick conversion streak to begin the season. The kicker will look to get back on track against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3.
Cairo Santos converted his only field goal attempt as well as all eight of his extra point attempts to finish with 11 points in the Bears' 59-37 win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 1.
Fantasy Impact
Santos benefited from a high-octane Chicago offensive attack, finishing with double-digit points in the win. The veteran kicker should continue to see plenty of opportunities as the season moves forward for fantasy managers, with a Week 2 contest against the Minnesota Vikings up next.
