Cairo Santos Active for Week 8 Return

Sunday, October 26, 11:47 AM

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos (thigh) is officially active for Sunday's contest against the Baltimore Ravens. Santos has been unable to suit up in each of the last two weeks due to this thigh injury. While he has been sidelined, Jake Moody took over kicking duties in the Windy City. During his first four games of the campaign, Santos went 6-for-7 on field goals while going a perfect 11-for-11 on extra points. Given his role in an emerging offense, Santos should be viewed as a strong K1 in all leagues facing the Ravens, who have allowed the third-most fantasy points to opposing kickers this season.

Chris Boswell A Top-10 Fantasy Option Against Packers

Saturday, October 25, 1:59 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell drilled all four of his extra-point tries and converted his lone field goal in a Week 7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He should be equally, if not more, involved in a Week 8 showdown with the Green Bay Packers. Sunday night's contest is expected to be a closely contested, moderately high-scoring affair. Green Bay has been solid defensively this season and has done a good job keeping opponents out of the end zone, surrendering the eighth-fewest touchdowns per contest. That should set up additional field-goal opportunities for Boswell, who remains a steady fantasy option at home. The 34-year-old comes in at No. 10 in RotoBaller's kicker rankings this week and should remain in starting lineups.
