Santos converted his lone field-goal attempt in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday. Santos posted six or fewer points in each of Chicago's last six games. In addition, the kicker recorded more than seven points in two of 17 games. Normally, Santos is one of the most accurate kickers in the NFL, but his 84.0 percent field-goal rate was easily the worst during his five years with the Bears. Unless Chicago is able to put together a much better offense next year, Santos may not be able to reach his potential for fantasy football. The veteran is under contract with the team through 2027.

Santos converted his lone field-goal attempt in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday. Santos posted six or fewer points in each of Chicago's last six games. In addition, the kicker recorded more than seven points in two of 17 games. Normally, Santos is one of the most accurate kickers in the NFL, but his 84.0 percent field-goal rate was easily the worst during his five years with the Bears. Unless Chicago is able to put together a much better offense next year, Santos may not be able to reach his potential for fantasy football. The veteran is under contract with the team through 2027.
Santos made his lone field-goal try and didn't attempt any extra points in Thursday's 6-3 Week 17 loss against Seattle. Neither offense had much success in the low-scoring matchup, and Santos was given only one opportunity to score points. He came through in that instance, nailing a 42-yard field goal in the second quarter. Santos hasn't missed a kick since Week 12, but he's had very low volume of late with just four field goals over his past five contests. He's also logged a modest five extra points during that span, making him an uninspiring, low-floor option in fantasy leagues.
Santos made his only field-goal attempt and converted both his extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-17 loss to Detroit. Santos was successful when called upon, nailing a 30-yard field goal in the third quarter after making both of his extra-point attempts earlier in the contest. The veteran kicker is 19-for-23 on field-goal tries this season, which puts him on pace for his first season below a 90 percent success rate since 2021. Santos is also 22-for-23 on point-after attempts this year.
Santos was perfect on two field-goal attempts in the Bears' 30-12 loss to the Vikings on Monday. Santos continues to be limited by the inability of the Chicago offense to put up big scoring totals. On the season, the kicker has posted more than seven points twice, and he remains a low-floor fantasy option.
Santos did not attempt a field goal in the Bears' 38-13 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. Santos attempted one extra point in the blowout loss. There have only been two occasions all season in which the kicker has scored seven points, making him a low-upside fantasy option.
Santos did not attempt a field goal in the Bears' 23-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday. The Bears were driving late in the fourth quarter for a potential game-tying field goal, but Caleb Williams took a sack and then wasted the final 32 seconds. As a result, the only action Santos had was a pair of extra-point attempts. On the season, the kicker has posted more than seven points twice, and he remains a low-floor fantasy option.
Santos converted two of three field-goal attempts in the Bears' 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings on Sunday. For the second week in a row, Santos had a field goal blocked. Otherwise, Santos remains one of the most accurate kickers in the NFL. However, the veteran has surpassed seven points just twice, making him a low-ceiling fantasy lineup option.
Santos connected on two of three field-goal attempts in the Bears' 20-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday. Santos had a chance to give the Bears a win with a field-goal attempt in the last moments of the game. However, the Packers were able to block the attempt. Santos has converted multiple field goals in two of the last eight games, and he remains a low-floor fantasy option with occasional upside.
Santos converted his lone field-goal attempt in the Bears' 19-3 loss to the Patriots on Sunday. Santos has connected on one or fewer field goals in six of Chicago's last seven games. Unless the Bears are able to make drastic improvements on offense, Santos will remain a low-floor fantasy option.
