Cairo Santos Slow Start Makes Him Hard to Trust Against Las Vegas

Saturday, September 27, 12:44 PM

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos has had a quiet start to his 17th NFL season, making just two field goals and adding 10 extra points through three games. He currently ranks 29th in fantasy points among kickers, despite Chicago's offense performing well. Head coach Ben Johnson's aggressive approach (going for four fourth downs in field-goal range in the first three games) has limited Santos' opportunities. Week 4 brings a potential high-scoring matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, which could lead to more attempts. Still, his lack of production early in 2025 makes him unstartable in most fantasy formats this week.

Jason Sanders to Remain Sidelined Through Week 5

Tuesday, September 30, 3:54 PM

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders (hip) is expected to remain on the injured reserve this weekend when the Dolphins face the Carolina Panthers in Week 5, despite being eligible to return. Their top kicker has been on the IR since the beginning of the campaign due to a hip injury. However, David Furones of The Sun Sentinel noted that Sanders is "approaching" his return. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Riley Patterson to remain the starting kicker this weekend. Last season, Sanders posted a strong 90.2% FG%, going 37-41 on attempts and 12-for-14 on 50+ yard attempts. Patterson has gone 4-for-4 on attempts and 9-for-9 on extra points this season. Given that he has yet to tally double-digit fantasy points in a single game this season, he carries low-end streaming upside in Week 5.
