Cairo Santos a Good Bet for Fantasy in Week 9

Friday, November 6, 6:03 PM

Chicago Bears placekicker Cairo Santos is again a strong fantasy option for this Sunday's home matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Santos has laid a few clunkers this season, but has mostly been reliable for the Bears and owners. It was encouraging to see the 34-year-old veteran break his miss streak in Week 8, after knocking through all of his kicks in a game for the first time since a win over the Jets in Week 4. While he'll always be somewhat capped by the offense's ability to score touchdowns, Santos may experience a bit of a boost this week against what's been a downright impressive Bucs defense. If Tampa Bay can limit Chicago like they have their past few opponents, Santos may get a few more field-goal opportunities than managers have come to expect. Even with the stiff test ahead, the Tulane product lands as RotoBaller's K7 for Sunday's outing.

Jake Elliott News

Jake Elliott Hopes to Remain Perfect in Monday Night Matchup with Bears

Saturday, September 26, 12:43 PM

It has not been a particularly busy couple of weeks for Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott to begin the 2026 season, but he is yet to miss a kick. He's made both of his field goal attempts - one in each game - and has made all six of his extra point attempts thus far. The biggest positive for Elliott so far this season is that he made a 58-yard field goal against the Tennessee Titans last week. Kicking from distance has been a struggle for Elliott, as he made just four out of his eight attempts from 50 yards or more in 2025 and connected on just one of his seven tries from 50-plus yards in 2024 (5-for-15, 33.3%, over that two-year span). The Eagles haven't needed to rely on Elliott much in 2026, but it is early. He checks in as RotoBaller's No. 16 kicker for a Week 3 matchup with the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. According to RotoBaller, Elliott has a matchup rating of 92.0 and is projected to score 7.5 points this week. Elliott is currently rostered in just 8% of Yahoo leagues, so he is likely available for those looking for a streaming option. However, his volume is a bit too low to make an impact right now. Fantasy managers could do worse than Elliott, but there are likely better options available at kicker.
