Impact This was the first time in five games that Santos scored more than seven points, and he'll remain a difficult player to trust for upside in the fantasy playoffs.

Tallies six points in defeat Santos made his only field-goal attempt while making three of four extra-point conversions in Chicago's 34-30 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Posts five points Santos connected on his only field-goal attempt in the Bears' 41-25 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Impact Santos converted his field-goal on the first drive of the game, but he was only provided with a pair of extra-point attempts the rest of the way. Although he's had a couple big games this season, he's been held to seven points or fewer in four of his last five games, making him a risky option in weekly fantasy lineups.

Scores seven points in defeat Santos made a pair of field goals and an extra point in Chicago's 19-13 loss to Minnesota on Monday.
Impact Santos connected on a pair of field goals from less than 45 yards away in the first half, but after converting an extra point following the Bears' return of the second-half kickoff for a touchdown, he wasn't given another opportunity to increase his scoring total. He's now been held to fewer than eight points in three of his last four games, making him an underwhelming weekly fantasy option.

Posts five points Santos converted a field goal and two extra-point attempts in the Bears' 24-17 loss to the Titans on Sunday.
Impact With Chicago's offensive line missing multiple starters, the team struggled to consistently move the football, resulting in a poor fantasy line for Santos. Although he's had a pair of strong performances over the past four weeks, he's been held to five points or fewer in four of his last eight games, making him a difficult player to trust in weekly lineups.

Scores 11 points Santos connected on all three of his field-goal attempts in Chicago's 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints on Sunday.
Impact Santos drilled a field-goal at the end of regulation to send the game to overtime while tying his season high with 11 points. Although he's posted at least eight points in three of his last four games, he also has a pair of performances with fewer than five points, making him an inconsistent fantasy option with a low scoring floor.

Scores four points in loss Santos connected on a 42-yard field goal in Chicago's 24-10 loss to the Rams on Monday.
Impact In a game the Bears struggled to move the ball in, Santos had a quiet night, though he made his only field-goal attempt of the contest. After scoring 19 points over his previous two games, Santos reverted to the low scoring floor he had shown over the first three games of the season. He'll likely be an erratic fantasy option, especially since he kicks for an inconsistent offense.

Perfect in victory Santos converted each of his three field-goal attempts in Chicago's 23-16 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Impact Not only did Santos convert all of his kicks, but he also nailed his first kick of over 50 yards this season, leading to an 11-point performance, which was his best game of the campaign. Although he averaged fewer than five points per game over the first three contests, he's had a pair of strong performances in a row, and he may now be considered as a potential streaming option.

Posts three points Santos made his only field-goal attempt in Chicago's 19-11 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Impact Even though Eddie Pineiro was eligible to return from injured reserve this week, Santos continued to serve as the Bears' kicker, but with only 14 points over the last three weeks, he'll continue to be a low-floor fantasy option while he retains the job.
OCTOBER 5, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Expected to kick Week 4 Santos is expected to remain the Bears' kicker for Sunday's game against the Colts, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.
Impact After Eddy Pineiro (groin) was placed on injured reserve shortly before the season opener, Santos has kicked in each of the Bears' first three games, converting on four of six field-goal tries and eight of eight extra-point attempts. Though Pineiro will be eligible to return from IR this week, coach Matt Nagy suggested Wednesday that the 25-year-old is unlikely to be ready to kick by Sunday. Santos is thus on track to retain the kicking job for a fourth straight game, but he could surrender the gig to Pineiro as soon as Week 5.

Posts five points Santos made one of two field-goal attempts in Chicago's 30-26 victory over the Falcons on Sunday.
Impact For the second week in a row, Santos missed a field-goal attempt, and it's unlikely that he'll stand in the way of teammate Eddy Pineiro (groin) taking back his roster spot when Pineiro's ready to return from injured reserve. Although Pineiro is eligible to return next week, there has been no word as to when the team will be faced with a roster decision.
