  • Spends season on injured reserve

    Pineiro (groin) failed to see the field in 2020 after landing on injured reserve on September 8.

    Analysis: At first, Pineiro was expected to have a realistic chance to return to action after a three-week stint on injured reserve had concluded, but with Cairo Santos proving to be a reliable kicking option for the Bears, Pineiro was never activated. With his contract having expired, he'll hit unrestricted free agency, and after making 82 percent of his field goals in 2019, he'll likely have a solid chance of earning a kicking job for 2021.

  • Week 4 return unlikely

    Coach Matt Nagy doesn't think Pineiro (groin) will be ready to play against the Colts in Week 4, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Chicago would need to remove Pineiro from IR before he can play, and Cairo Santos will continue to fill in as long as Pineiro remains sidelined. The Bears have a short week before facing the Buccaneers on Thursday in Week 5, so Pineiro will be hard-pressed to heal up in time for that one.

  • Out at least three weeks

    The Bears placed Pineiro (groin) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: The NFL's new IR rules for 2020 will allow the Bears to activate Pineiro after he sits out three games, so if he moves past the groin injury by the end of September, he could be ready to step back in as the team's kicker beginning in Week 4 against the Colts. In the interim, the Bears are expected to promote Cairo Santos from the practice squad to handle kicking duties.

  • Unlikely to play Week1

    Pineiro (groin) didn't attempt field goals during the media portion of training camp practices Saturday and is unlikely to be available for at least Week 1,

    Analysis: With Cairo Santos expected to be released, the Bears could try to bring him back on the practice squad so that he can replace Pineiro to start the season. In addition, if the team desires to move Pineiro to injured reserve and bring him back during the season, it must wait until Monday to make that move. For now, Pineiro is not a recommended fantasy option unless his situation is resolved and he's back on the field as the starting kicker.

  • Path to No. 1 role

    Head coach Matt Nagy hinted that the Bears could roster both Pineiro (groin) and Cairo Santos, Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

    Analysis: Nagy didn't confirm whether this meant both would be on the active roster or if one would be on the practice squad, but it likely means Pineiro is sticking in Chicago regardless of how the competition against Santos plays out. Even with Pineiro's injury, he's regarded as the No. 1 kicker for the time being.

  • Competition brought in

    Pineiro, who has been dealing with a groin issue of late, "hasn't attempted a kick in front of reporters all week," according to Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune.

    Analysis: With that in mind, it's not surprising that the Bears plan to sign Cairo Santos to provide insurance and/or competition for Pineiro, who previously had seemed to cement the team's kicking job after Ramiz Ahmed was waived earlier this month.

  • Kicking competitor waived

    With Ramiz Ahmed having been waived, Pineiro is the only kicker on the Bears' roster, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Unless another kicker is brought in by the team, Pineiro will reprise the duties he held last season with the Bears, en route to converting 82 percent of his field-goal tries. His fantasy upside, however, is tied to a Chicago offense that may not yield consistent volume.

  • Preparing for competition

    Pineiro added eight pounds of muscle to strengthen his leg as he prepares to compete against Ramiz Ahmed for the Bears' kicking job during training camp and the preseason, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

    Analysis: Although Pineiro connected on just 82.1 percent of his field-goal attempts last year, he rebounded well from a mid-season slump. Add strength to his leg could help Pineiro on both kickoffs and long-distance field goals, which would come in handy during his job battle with Ahmed. The presence of Ahmed may ultimately not prove to be much of a concern, as he hasn't kicked competitively since 2018, when he made just 15 of 20 field-goal attempts in his final collegiate season at Utah.

  • Expecting competition

    Pineiro anticipates competition for the Bears' starting kicker job during the offseason, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. "Last year, I had to compete against eight different guys, so I don't think that's going to change," Pineiro said. "Hopefully, it's not eight again, but I definitely expect competition."

    Analysis: In the wake of Cody Parkey's ignominious end to the 2018 campaign, the Bears searched far and wide for a replacement, eventually landing on Pineiro after cycling through nearly 10 options. Through Week 11, there wasn't much of a difference, as Pineiro missed five of 17 field-goal attempts. He righted the ship thereafter, though, making all 11 kicks over the last six games. On top of that, he was relatively clean on point-after tries, making 27 of 29 for the season. Chicago's front office won't…read more

  • Best performance of season

    Pineiro converted four field goals and an extra point in the Bears' 21-19 win over the Vikings in Week 17, and he finished the season with 23 field goals in 28 attempts.

    Analysis: Pineiro was a disappointment in his first season with the Bears, as he made just 82 percent of his field-goal attempts. In terms of fantasy, he only surpassed seven points on four occasions, and as he enters the last year of a two-year contract, he'll be a marginal fantasy option in 2020 drafts.

  • Collects three points

    Pineiro made his only field-goal attempt in the Bears' 26-3 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Analysis: Pineiro was good from 46 yards out, and he failed to receive a couple other chances to kick when the Bears were forced to throw the ball on fourth downs late in the game. He's failed to top seven points in any of his last eight games, and he'll be a low-upside lineup option in Week 17 against the Vikings.

  • Posts seven points

    Pineiro connected on two field goals and an extra point in Chicago's 21-13 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Pineiro posted seven or fewer points for the seventh-straight time, and he'll be a low-upside fantasy option in a Week 16 home matchup against the Chiefs.

  • Perfect evening

    Pineiro converted his only field-goal attempt in the Bears' 31-24 win over the Cowboys on Thursday.

    Analysis: Pineiro was good from 36 yards on his lone field-goal try, and he's now made four-straight field goals. However, his seven-point effort was the most points he's scored in a game since Week 8, and his low floor makes him very difficult to trust in the fantasy playoffs.

  • Another mediocre performance

    Pineiro connected on a field goal and three extra points in the Bears' 24-20 win over the Lions on Thursday.

    Analysis: The biggest takeaway for Pineiro was that the Bears chose to pass up a 49-yard field-goal attempt in a domed stadium in order to let the offense try to convert a 4th-and-6, showing a lack of confidence in the kicker. With a total of 19 points over his last five games, Pineiro is not a recommended fantasy option.

  • Misses extra point

    Pineiro converted a pair of field goals along with an extra point in the Bears' 19-14 victory over the Giants on Sunday.

    Analysis: Although it didn't end up hurting the team, Pineiro missed one of his two extra-point attempts. With his recent struggles, there's room for concern as to whether the Bears will continue to keep him on the roster. This was the first time in four weeks that Pineiro scored more than two fantasy points, making him difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

  • Receives vote of confidence

    Coach Matt Nagy said after Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Rams that Pineiro won't be replaced as Chicago's kicker after missing both of his field-goal attempts in the contest, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Analysis: Pineiro misfired from 48 and 47 yards in the first quarter before knocking down an extra point in the second half for his lone scoring of the night. Though Nagy gave Pineiro a vote of confidence, it's still not out of the question that the Bears will explore other options after watching the second-year player miss four field goals and an extra-point attempt over the last four games.

  • No field-goal attempts

    Pineiro converted two of three extra-point attempts in Chicago's 20-13 victory over the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: With the Bears scoring three touchdowns while failing to break down in the red zone, Pineiro wasn't called upon for a single field-goal attempt. He's scored five points or fewer in four of his last five games, making him a weak fantasy option.

  • Quiet performance

    Pineiro converted a pair of extra points in the Bears' 22-14 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Analysis: During the first half of the game, Chicago picked up just one first down, and then playing from way behind in the second half, the only work Pineiro saw was extra-point attempts. Although he's recorded 10 points in three different games, he's failed to reach five points in four other contests, making him a very inconsistent fantasy option.
