Cairo Santos News

Chicago Bears placekicker Cairo Santos will look to get back on track in this Sunday's road bout with the Atlanta Falcons. Santos had been solid through the first month of the campaign, but Chicago's offensive struggles in Week 5 hurt the 34-year-old's production. Santos missed his second field-goal attempt of 2026 in last weekend's loss to Green Bay, and the team hit pay dirt only once, marking a season-low in fantasy output for the veteran. Still, Santos should find better footing in Week 6 from the safety of Atlanta's dome. Furthermore, he'll benefit from softer competition. The Falcons have been more favorable to fantasy kickers and sport a susceptible secondary, which would bode particularly well for Chicago if quarterback Caleb Williams (hamstring) returns as expected. Despite a down week, Santos remains a stable option behind a high-powered offense, ranking as RotoBaller's K11 for his outing with the Falcons.

Eddy Piñeiro News
Saturday, October 17, 1:55 PM
San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro missed a field goal attempt from 52 yards out but was good on his 44-yard try that ended up being the difference in last week's 32-39 win over the Seahawks. He was 3-for-3 on extra point attempts, as well. The 49ers' efficiency on offense has eaten into Pineiro's production in 2026, allowing him just eight field goal attempts (with five makes) through the first five weeks. Pineiro could see more action this week, though. The 49ers' upcoming meeting with the Commanders has one of the highest point totals on the Week 6 slate. If the offensive bonanza comes to fruition, it will put Pineiro in a good spot for some extra chances to put points on the board. Pineiro has a top-12 projection in Week 6, and fantasy managers can feel good about including him in starting lineups.
