Cairo Santos's fantasy role in Week 10
Cairo Santos goes into Week 10 of the 2026 season as a deep-league K flyer for the CHI. He is rostered in 29% of leagues and actually started in 22% of them, and we rank him K17 on our own weekly board at 4.3 projected points.
Interest is cooling — roster rates slipped roughly 9% in the last week, so he is getting cheaper to acquire if you believe in the role.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.

How to play it
Cairo Santos is on bye in Week 10 — replace him and revisit next week.
Use the waiver wire for a one-week plug and keep him on your bench if you are otherwise healthy at K.
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Cairo Santos (CHI K), our K17 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 4.3 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 3.2 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. He's being dropped at a 9% clip, and I don't think the market is wrong about it. 22% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Cairo Santos (CHI K), our K17 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 4.3 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 3.2 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. He's being dropped at a 9% clip, and I don't think the market is wrong about it. 22% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. He grades 43% below the average weekly K number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
