Delivers 15-point performance Santos was perfect on four field-goal attempts and three extra-point tries in the Bears' 33-14 win over the Patriots on Monday.

Impact Santos has made at least three field goals in three of his last four games, but he has a total of one field-goal attempt over his other three games this season, making him a boom-or-bust kicking option in fantasy leagues. As part of his 15-point outing Monday, Santos knocked down attempts from 23, 38, 42 and 50 yards out.

One point in defeat Santos converted his only extra-point attempt in the Bears' 12-7 loss to the Commanders on Thursday.

Impact After a pair of 10-point games, Santos' production came to an abrupt halt. Despite the double-digit upside he's shown, kicking for a low-volume offense ensures that there will be the occasional poor fantasy performance, making Santos a volatile fantasy option.

10 points in defeat Santos was perfect on three field-goal attempts in the Bears' 29-22 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Impact After missing last week's game due to a personal matter, Santos produced his second consecutive 10-point game. Despite his recent success, the Bears are generally a low-volume offense, giving Santos a low-scoring floor that can materialize in any given week.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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 stead it will fall to Michael Badgley, who signed with Chicago yesterday, to handle kicking duties versus New York.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.
