Moody signs with the Bears practice squad, igniting a real kicking duel in Chicago that could reshape the team s weekly scoring rhythm. A true camp battle may push Cairo Santos to extend his range and sharpen accuracy beyond 40 yards.

Moody, released by San Francisco after a Week 1 1-for-3 showing, carries a limited long-range profile and a draft pedigree that invites Aguayo comparisons. Chicago has chased kicking depth before, and this audition could tilt the job based on practice results and early-season conditions.

From a fantasy lens, competition can nudge the Bears toward cleaner red zone kicking and clearer weekly projections. If Moody struggles, Santos remains steady; if Moody shows the legs for longer kicks, Chicago could lean on him for higher range FG attempts and potential upside on cold weather days.

The move also keeps managers attentive to Week 2 weather, venue, and roster policy, since a single kick or weather-affected game could swing waiver decisions and streaming options for Bears kickers.
