2024 Season Outlooks

Santos is coming off the best season of his career in 2023, and he could build off that performance this year with a revamped Chicago offense. We view Santos as a No. 2 Fantasy kicker to open the season, but he could emerge as a waiver-wire option during the year. In 2023, Santos averaged a career-best 9.3 Fantasy points per game. He made 35-of-38 field goals, including four of five kicks from 50-plus yards, and he also added 31 PATs on 33 attempts. The Bears offense should be more productive this season with additions in Caleb Williams, Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze, D'Andre Swift and Gerald Everett joining D.J. Moore and Cole Kmet, and hopefully that leads to consistent production for Santos. He could have the chance for another solid season in 2024.

Santos returns as the Bears' kicker after finishing as the third-best kicker in fantasy in 2023. Santos has made better than 90% of his FGs in three of his past four seasons, showcasing his consistency. The Bears used the No. 1 overall pick on Caleb Williams and have put a plethora of talent around him, hoping to ignite their offense. But growing pains should be expected, so Santos may have some additional opportunities. It's not a foregone conclusion, but the Bears are set up to be a more potent offense in 2024, which makes Santos a fringe starting kicker in fantasy.
