2025 Fantasy Outlook
Pineiro is a surprise entry at No. 3 on the career FG percentage list, having made 88.1 percent of attempts overall and at least 82.1 percent in each of his five NFL seasons. The conversion rate is inflated by a lack of long attempts -- 11-of-14 from 50-plus yards, with 126 career field-goal attempts overall -- and hasn't translated to success on PATs (92.1 percent), which may help explain why he's a free agent after kicking for Carolina the past three seasons. Pineiro never got enough volume in Carolina to be more than a back-end fantasy option or bye-week streamer. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
2020
2019
Pineiro made 90.6 percent of his field-goal attempts and 90.4 percent of PATs over the past two seasons in Carolina, rebounding nicely after bouncing around the league from 2019 to 2021. He missed the final two games of 2023 with a hamstring injury and finished 27th among kickers in fantasy points, attempting just 20 PATs all year (and missing three). Pineiro should keep the job in 2024, but any chance at relevance requires a massive step forward for the Carolina offense in Year 2 with Bryce Young at quarterback and Year 1 of Dave Canales' coaching tenure.
Pineiro bounced around the league for a few years before seemingly finding a home in 2022 in Carolina, where he converted 33 of 35 FGAs and 30 of 32 PATs. The Panthers signed him to a two-year contract in March, so job security at least isn't an issue. The problem for fantasy is the combination of a new coach, rookie QB and subpar pass catchers. While they might compete in a weak NFC South, the Panthers aren't likely to be an especially strong or high-scoring team, and Pineiro's one impressive season doesn't necessarily prove he's among the top kickers in the league.
Pineiro stabilized the kicker position for the Jets down the stretch last season, making all eight of his field-goal attempts in five games with the team. He then lost a preseason kicking competition in New York to Greg Zuerlein, but Pineiro found a home in Carolina after Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez suffered a groin injury.
In terms of conversion rates, Pineiro was right around league-average last year, and he also made both of his kicks from 50-plus yards. However, he had two games with a pair of missed field goals - both times in close contests the Bears ended up losing. Pineiro is unlikely to be a top-12 option, as the Chicago offense isn't likely to provide a ton of volume.
An early favorite for the kicking job in Oakland last year, Pineiro instead spent his rookie season on injured reserve after hurting his groin in August. Chicago then acquired him for a conditional seventh-round pick, setting up a camp battle with Elliott Fry. With Fry having been let go in August, Pineiro appears poised to handle Chicago's kicking duties, barring the addition of some late competition. If Pineiro keeps the job, he could end up quite busy in 2019, as an elite defense combined with a middling offense is often the right recipe for heavy FG volume.

SF's kicker moving forward
KSan Francisco 49ers
September 11, 2025
Pineiro agreed to a one-year contract with the 49ers on Tuesday, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, after the team waived Jake Moody earlier in the day.
ANALYSIS
Pineiro's set to work as the kicker for the 49ers moving forward. He boasts an impressive 88.1 career field-goal conversion percentage, but Pineiro's accuracy has declined each of the past three seasons. Moody started the season on a short leash after missing 10 field-goal attempts last season, and his two misses in Week 1 opened the door for Pineiro to usurp him.
