Fantasy Impact
Moody hit field goals from 27, 39, 24, and 33 yards out in the win. The veteran kicker has made eight of his nine field goals and all three of his extra points since taking over as Chicago's kicker. He will face the Ravens in Week 8.
Jake Moody went 4-of-5 on his field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point attempt in Monday night's 25-24 win over the Washington Commanders.
Fantasy Impact
Moody lost his starting role with the 49ers early in the season and landed with Chicago as a backup for them. He got the spot start on Monday with Cairo Santos (thigh) unable to play, and he ended up making five out of his six kicks and totaling 13 points on the night, including the field goal that won the Bears the game as time expired. It remains to be seen if he will have a consistent job anywhere this season, but fantasy managers should be well pleased with this performance from the 25-year old.
Jake Moody has signed for the Chicago Bears and will initially be placed on the practice squad, adding competition for Cairo Santos.
Fantasy Impact
Jake Moody, who was starting his third year for the San Francisco 49ers, was waived after converting only one of three attempts in week one. He has finished 17th and 22nd overall for kickers in fantasy football. A career record of 74.2% on field goal tries and 97.9% in extra points, he will add competition for incumbent Cairo Santos. In his seventh year in Chicago, Santos has a better career field goal success rate at 85.2% but a lower extra point success rate at 95.1%.
Jake Moody has been waived by the 49ers on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Coach Kyle Shanahan was non-committal when discussing Moody’s future after a disappointing performance on Sunday. After struggling near the end of the 2024 season and failing to show much promise early on this year, the Niners are moving on. Who will take over for Moody has not been announced, but changes are coming soon.
49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said he will “get on the plane and evaluate” the future of K Jake Moody.
Fantasy Impact
After a disastrous second half of last season, Moody figured to be entering this year on a somewhat short leash. He went on to miss two short field goals in the season opener with one hitting the post and one getting blocked. There should be an update on his status as the starter in the next few days.
