Cairo Santos News
Friday, September 18, 10:47 PM
Chicago Bears placekicker Cairo Santos sees his fantasy value ascending ahead of a divisional clash with the visiting Minnesota Vikings this Sunday. Chicago didn't let up in their trouncing of the Panthers to begin the campaign. Santos didn't have many opportunities to show off his leg from distance, as he was afforded - and connected on - only one field goal chance. However, the thirteen-year veteran was automatic on his extra-point tries - knocking through all eight in the contest. While it's unlikely Santos will boast such lofty figures every week, it's an encouraging sign of what this offense can do every time it takes the field. Moreover, Chicago's defense doesn't look much improved from 2025, meaning the team could often face a shootout. Minnesota may subvert that in Week 2, but Santos should be busy again either way. The Tulane product is RotoBaller's K5 for Sunday's outing.

Younghoe Koo News
Wednesday, May 27, 7:15 PM
The New York Jets signed free-agent kicker Younghoe Koo to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday, sources told Connor Hughes of SNY. Koo spent seven years with the Atlanta Falcons, where he was named a Pro Bowler in 2020. The 31-year-old veteran kicked with the Falcons and New York Giants in 2025 and went 6-for-9 on his field-goal attempts and 13-for-14 on extra-point tries in only six games played. Going into his ninth year in the NFL with Gang Green, Koo will be competing with Cade York and Lenny Krieg for primary placekicking duties in 2026. Even if he wins the gig to start the 2026 regular season, fantasy managers should have much better options at the kicking position. For his career, Koo has an 85.3% success rate on his 217 field-goal attempts (29-for-42 from 50-plus yards) and has made 95.9% of his extra-point attempts in 98 career games.
