Santos converted both of his field-goal attempts in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Santos was very quiet over the first four games of the season, but he has scored 23 points over his last two games. If the Bears continue to show improvement on offense, Santos could work his way into being a streaming option at kicker.

Santos converted four field goals and four extra points in the Bears' 40-20 win over the Commanders on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Santos came into this game averaging less than four points per game, so his 16-point performance appears to be an outlier. However, if the Bears can build on their recent offensive success, Santos may work his way into being a reliable fantasy option.

Santos converted each of his four extra-point attempts in the Bears' 31-28 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
On the season, Santos has four field goals and four extra points, giving him an average of four points per game. Unless the Chicago offense takes a substantial step forward, Santos may not have enough scoring opportunities to be a reliable fantasy option in most leagues.

Santos converted his lone field-goal attempt in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Santos is averaging just five points per game as the Chicago offense struggles to put points on the board. Unless the team can solve their offensive woes, Santos will remain a low-upside fantasy option.

Santos made his lone field-goal attempt in the Bears' 27-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Santos remains one of the most accurate kickers in the NFL, but his fantasy production remains inconsistent due to the Bears offense. Unless Chicago can begin to put more points on the scoreboard, Santos will struggle to crack the top-12 fantasy kickers.

Santos converted both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Even though Chicago scored a pair of touchdowns, the team attempted two-point conversions each time as they tried to close a large deficit. Santos has been a very reliable kicker since joining the Bears, but he's yet to have the consistent scoring opportunities needed to be a reliable fantasy option.

Santos is the Bears' starting kicker, as there is no kicker on the roster for him to compete with, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Santos has been extremely accurate in his three years with the Bears, and he was over 90 percent accurate on his field-goal attempts in 2022. The reason he wasn't much of a fantasy factor was because the offense often didn't score enough points. If the offense can make a leap this season, his accuracy may intersect with volume. If that happens, he could be a sneaky option in 12-team leagues.

Santos converted an extra point in the Bears' 29-13 loss to the Vikings in Week 18, and ended the season with 90 points over 16 games played.
EDGE Analysis
Santos has been extremely accurate in his three years with the Bears, and he was over 90 percent accurate on his field-goal attempts this season. The problem for fantasy is the Bears offense. He averaged well less than two field-goal attempts per game, and he hasn't averaged more than two attempts in any of his three years with the team. Unless the Bears offense makes a significant jump in 2023, his volume will make him tough to roster as a primary option in 12-team fantasy leagues. He's under contract through 2025.

Santos converted his lone field-goal attempt in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Santos hasn't scored more than seven points in a game since Week 7, and he'll remain a low-upside fantasy option in Week 18 against Minnesota.

Santos converted both of his field-goal attempts in the Bears' 35-13 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
