Who Should I Start? Cairo Santos or Wil Lutz

Saturday, October 25, 6:13 PM

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos (thigh) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Santos was able to practice in full on Thursday and Friday. Despite that, Santos still carries the questionable tag into this contest. It's worth noting that the Bears haven't elevated Jake Moody from the practice squad. That means, Santos appears to be trending in the right direction for Sunday's game. Santos has missed each of the last two games due to a thigh issue. Santos could offer more value than normal this weekend considering how bad the Ravens defense has been this season.

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz has solidified himself as a reliable kicker when called upon and will look to keep things going against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Unfortunately, this season, he hasn't had many opportunities to do much with an average of just 1.25 field goal attempts through four games. In Week 4, he only accounted for four extra points and wasn't asked to attempt a single field goal in the blowout versus the Bengals. The Eagles' defense could stall the Broncos' defense more often this week than the Bengals did in Week 4, potentially giving Lutz more field goal opportunities in a defensive matchup. It's still likely best to pivot elsewhere for kicker points in Week 5.
