Cairo Santos Ruled Out for Week 7

Friday, October 17, 9:50 PM

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos (thigh) has been ruled out for the upcoming Week 7 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Santos will officially miss his second straight game due to a lingering thigh issue. Jake Moody will handle the kicking duties in Chicago for at least one more week. Moody made four of his five field goal attempts, including a game-winner during last week's win over the Washington Commanders. Moody should offer streaming value for fantasy managers in need of a kicker for this weekend.

Ryan Fitzgerald Wins Panthers Kicking Job

Tuesday, August 26, 12:17 AM

Carolina Panthers kicker Ryan Fitzgerald has won the kicking job after the team released Matthew Wright, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. The undrafted rookie out of Florida State went 3-for-3 on field goals and also converted his lone extra point attempt through three preseason games. He enjoyed similar success at school, going 13-for-13 on field goals during his final collegiate campaign in 2024. Although the Panthers' offense is trending up, Fitzgerald lacks fantasy appeal at the moment, especially as a rookie with no track record kicking at the professional level.
