Santos (personal) was not listed on the Bears' practice report Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Santos rejoined the Bears after sitting out the team's Week 4 loss to the Giants due to personal reasons. The 30-year-old made all four of his field-goal tries but missed two of his six extra-point attempts over the first three weeks, though both failed kicking attempts came during Chicago's storm-stricken season opener against the 49ers.

Santos (personal) has returned to the team, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Santos' personal situation is "all squared away," according to head coach Matt Eberflus, which Fishbain notes in his report. The veteran kicker should resume his role moving forward, which will send Michael Badgley to the practice squad, or possibly looking for a new opportunity elsewhere. Badgley filled in admirably, making all four of his field-goal attempts Sunday against the Texans. Santos will be back in action in Week 5 against the Vikings.

The Bears have downgraded Santos (personal) to out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Santos didn't officially travel with the team, so it's not too surprising to see him be ruled out after having initially been listed as questionable. In his absence, Michael Badgley, who signed with Chicago yesterday, will handle kicking duties versus New York.

Santos (personal) is still listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Giants, but he will reportedly not travel with the team Saturday, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's a bit strange to see the Bears still listing Santos as questionable despite announcing the veteran kicker wouldn't travel with the team to New York, and elevating Michael Badgley, who was just signed to the team's practice squad Saturday, on the same day. Fantasy managers should likely anticipate using other alternatives, especially considering inclement weather could be on the horizon for Sunday's matchup.

Santos (personal) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Santos was absent from practice both Thursday and Friday due to a personal issue, leaving his status up in the air for Week 4. The Bears currently don't have a kicker on the practice squad, so adding one Saturday and elevating that player likely would be an indication Santos won't be available Sunday. Assuming he's active, though, he's attached to an offense that has afforded him just four field-goal attempts and six point-after tries in three games this season.

Santos was perfect on three field-goal attempts in the Bears' 23-20 win over the Texans on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Santos attempted just one field goal over the Bears' first two games of the season, totaling five points over those contests. His double-digit performance shows his potential upside, but with the Bears having consistent struggles on offense, Santos is difficult to trust as a reliable fantasy option.

Santos made his only field-goal attempt in the Bears' 27-10 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Santos has five points through two games, and with the Bears potentially having a low-volume offense this season, the kicker may also have limited scoring potential.

Santos made one of three extra-point attempts in the Bears' 19-10 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Normally an extremely accurate kicker, Santos had to deal with a rain-soaked field, which may explain his accuracy issues. Kicking on a team that may struggle on offense this year, he may lack the consistent scoring needed to be a reliable option in 12-team leagues.

Santos is the only kicker on the Bears' 53-man roster, according to the team's official site.

EDGE Analysis

Santos has made over 90 percent of his field-goal attempts in his first two years with the Bears. However, he's averaged fewer than two field-goal attempts during his tenure in Chicago Unless the offense can provide him with increased opportunities this year, he'll continue to be a borderline fantasy option in 12-team leagues.

Santos enters the season as the Bears' most accurate kicker in franchise history according to the Bears' official site.

EDGE Analysis

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.
