Bates has allowed 7 receptions and totaled 5 INT when targeted 10+ yards downfield this season | Tgt EPA: -11.6

Stars in first season with Atlanta
Bates finished 2023 with 132 tackles (89 solo), 11 pass defenses, six interceptions, three forced fumbles and one defensive touchdown in 17 appearances.
Analysis: Bates joined the Falcons on a four-year deal last offseason after five campaigns in Cincinnati and immediately provided a spark to Atlanta's defense. He set career highs in tackles, interceptions and forced fumbles while notching his first defensive touchdown since his rookie campaign. Bates is a bonafide star in reality and fantasy, and should be utilized as a defensive playmaker again in 2024, regardless of who's hired as the new head coach.

He has a career-high 128 tackles this season -- second most among safeties -- and his six interceptions are third in the NFL behind DaRon Bland and Geno Stone.

Another interception
Bates recorded seven tackles (five solo) and one interception during Sunday's 13-8 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Bates has recorded interceptions in back-to-back games, but unlike last week, he didn't return this one for a touchdown. However, he did tie Bud Dupree with a team-high seven tackles, giving him a strong fantasy floor. Bates was Atlanta's top free-agent signing this offseason, and he's been as advertised, notching four double-digit tackle outings and five interceptions through his first 12 appearances.

Bates recorded eight tackles (five solo) and one forced fumble during Sunday's 23-7 loss to Jacksonville.
Analysis: The 2018 second-round pick has been outstanding through his first four games with the Falcons, totaling 32 tackles, three interceptions and two forced fumbles. Bates' production dipped during his final two campaigns in Cincinnati, but he's quickly reasserted himself as one of the top IDP options in 2023.

Analysis: Bates finished with a team-high 11 stops, marking his second double-digit tackle effort of the season. He also picked off an overthrown pass by Jared Goff at the end of the third quarter, giving him three interceptions through his first three games in Atlanta. Bates hasn't wasted any time asserting himself as an alpha with the Falcons, and he figures to be a top-tier IDP option moving forward.

Forces three turnovers in opener
Bates recorded 10 tackles (five solo), two interceptions, two pass defenses and one forced fumble during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: After being a key cog of Cincinnati's defense the last five years, Bates opted for a payday this offseason and signed a four-deal with the Falcons, bolstering what was a bad secondary in 2022. The 2018 second-round pick wasted no time introducing himself to fans, forcing three turnovers while tying Troy Andersen with a team-high 10 tackles during an elite Week 1 performance. Bates' first interception led to the first touchdown of the game, his second led to a game-tying field goal in the third…read more

Headed to Atlanta
Bates is in line to sign with the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The Bengals have lost both their starting safeties within the first few hours of the NFL's legal tampering period, seeing Bates depart for Atlanta shortly after Vonn Bell reached terms with the Panthers. The silver lining for Cincinnati is a big opportunity ahead for 2022 first-round pick Dax Hill, who played only 131 defensive snaps in 15 games as a rookie. Bates, meanwhile, immediately becomes one of the best players for an Atlanta defense that's been bad for the past half-decade. He has a…read more

Records four picks in fifth season
Bates finished the regular season with a career-low 71 tackles and a career-high four interceptions in 16 appearances. He added 20 tackles in the Bengals' three postseason contests.
Analysis: Bates was playing under the franchise tag for his fifth NFL season after he and the Bengals tried but failed to come to a long-term contract agreement. He hasn't completely closed the door on returning in 2023, but Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic suggests Bates is unlikely to be retained. The Bengals have an estimated $44 million in cap space available, but with extensions with quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver Tee Higgins likely viewed as greater priorities, Cincinnati may not have much…read more

Nabs third interception
Bates picked off Deshaun Watson for his third interception of the season in Sunday's win over the Browns. He also had three tackles.
Analysis: Bates is no longer a tackle machine, but that's in part a function of the Bengals' defense playing better. Opposing runners are no longer reaching the second level as often, as defensive tackles DJ Reader and B.J. Hill are playing so well, as are linebackers Germaine Pratt and Logan Wilson.

Bounces back in win
Bates recorded eight tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 27-24 win versus the Chiefs.
Analysis: Bates had one of his strongest performances of the season as he led the team in tackles. After combining for just six tackles over the past two weeks, the former All Pro safety bounced back this week and helped limit Patrick Mahomes and one of the NFL's most explosive offenses. Bates will look to build off of this strong performance next week against the Browns.

First double-digit tackle outing
Bates recorded 10 tackles (four solo) in Monday's 32-13 defeat against the Browns.
Analysis: While Bates finished as the Bengals' leading tackler in this blowout loss, the safety's production so far in 2022 has severely lacked compared to his previous four seasons, as he's recorded just 36 tackles (24 solo), two passes defended and an interception over eight games. Bates will look to repeat this prolific performance against the Panthers this coming Sunday.

In great shape
Bates is in great game shape despite missing all of training camp, Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com reports.
Analysis: It appears that Bates will be ready for full-time snaps right away in Week 1. "I forget that he missed time to be honest with you," coach Zac Taylor said of Bates. "I think he did a really good job taking care of himself. We wanted to be cautious as we integrated him back into what we were doing. He's a got a great understanding of what we're doing and he's up to speed on any tweaks that we made and we expect him to be out there every down."

Signs franchise tag
Bates signed his franchise tag with the Bengals on Tuesday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Bates reported to training camp Tuesday for the first time this season and signed his $12.9 million franchise tag for 2022. The 2018 second-round pick had his worst statistical season last year, but he bounced back in the playoffs, recording more pass defenses (six) and interceptions (two) than he'd had during the regular season. He's played a prominent role in Cincinnati's secondary since he was drafted and should once again be on fantasy radars in IDP leagues.

Reports to team
Bates has reported to the Bengals, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Absent from camp after receiving the franchise tag this offseason, Bates is ready to sign the tag and play out 2022 on a $12.9 million salary. He'd get a deal for more than that per season on the open market, but the Bengals can tag him again next spring at a salary of around $15.5 million. Bates had his worst statistical season last year, but he bounced back and then some in the playoffs, recording more pass defenses (six) and interceptions (two) than he'd had during the entire regular season.…read more

Not reporting to camp Tuesday
Bates won't report to Bengals training camp Tuesday with the rest of the team's veteran players, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: One of the NFL's premier safeties, Bates hit the ground running as a second-round pick in 2018 and hasn't looked back, averaging 110 tackles and 2.7 interceptions per 17 games played in four pro seasons. The Bengals predictably applied the franchise tag to Bates back in March, and after the two sides were unable to reach an agreement on an extension before the July 15 deadline he's required to play out the upcoming campaign on the tag. With a holdout imminent, it remains to be seen how the…read more

Plans on skipping training camp
Bates has no intentions of reporting to training camp, nor playing on the franchise tag, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports.
Analysis: Bates had the franchise tag applied to him by the Bengals in March, but he's yet to sign his contract tender and already skipped the team's voluntary OTAs. The 2018 second-round pick posted his least productive season of his career in 2021, totaling 88 tackles and one interception over 15 games, but his potential holdout would nonetheless be a huge blow to Cincinnati's defense in 2022. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Bengals' final offer guaranteed Bates only $4 million more over five…read more

Doubtful to see extension
It's unlikely that Bates and the Bengals will come to terms on a contract extension before Friday's 4:00 p.m. ET deadline for franchise-tagged players, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Bates had the franchise tag applied to him by the Bengals in March. The 25-year-old has yet to sign his contract tender and already skipped the team's voluntary OTAs due to his lack of an extension. Bates posted the least productive season of his career in 2021, totaling 88 tackles and one interception over 15 games, but his potential holdout would nonetheless be less than optimal for Cincinnati's defense as the coming season approaches.

Could skip OTAs
Bates said he intends to take it day-by-day when asked if he'll join the Bengals for voluntary OTAs, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Bengals placed their franchise tag on Bates at the beginning of March. The two sides have until July 15 to work out a multi-year deal, but if they don't, Bates will operate under the terms of the franchise tag during the 2022 campaign. His comments suggest he may be willing to sit out if he's unhappy with the negotiation progress.

Franchise tag applied by Cincy
The Bengals on Monday used their franchise tag on Bates, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Bates totaled 20 tackles (11 solo), six pass deflections and two interceptions across four postseason games during the team's Super Bowl run. With the move, Cincinnati will have until July 15 to work out a multi-year contract with the safety, but if they don't, Bates will operate under the terms of the franchise tag during the 2022 campaign.

Lowest tackle numbers of career
Bates recorded 88 tackles (67 solo), four pass breakups, one interception and one fumble recovery across 15 appearances in 2021.
Analysis: Bates failed to reach the 100-tackle mark for the first time in his young career this season, though he did miss two contests. The 2018 second-round pick remains an every-down defensive starter for Cincinnati and a notable IDP asset, but fantasy managers will hope for a more consistent 2022 campaign. This offseason, however, Bates is currently scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent.

Makes nine stops vs. Niners
Bates had nine tackles (eight solo) and one pass breakup during Sunday's overtime loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Bates played 100 percent of defensive snaps during Sunday's overtime loss, putting together his fourth game of the season with nine tackles. Though Bates hasn't yet logged a day with double-digit stops this year, he continues to provide a solid fantasy floor as a tackler. The Bengals will travel to Denver in Week 15.

Picks off first pass of season
Bates totaled eight tackles (six solo) and one interception during Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Sunday's performance was Bates' fourth game with at least eight tackles this season. He now has 50 stops through seven contests this year and is on pace for his fourth straight 100-plus tackle campaign. The 24-year-old safety's fantasy value has a solid floor due to his tackling totals, but if he can continue to force turnovers, then his fantasy ceiling will grow exponentially.

Ties team high with seven tackles
Bates recorded seven tackles (four solo) during Sunday's win over the Ravens.
Analysis: Bates tied Logan Wilson for a team-high seven tackles Sunday, and he now has 42 total tackles through six games this season. The 24-year-old safety has yet to force a turnover or record a sack during the 2021 campaign, so his fantasy ceiling is limited, but his tackle production makes him a viable option in deeper IDP leagues.

Analysis: Bates will miss his first-ever game since entering the NFL in 2018 as a second-round pick out of Wake Forest.

Bates (neck) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Bates has yet to miss a game since entering the league as a second-round pick in 2018. However, he has missed two straight practices, which doesn't bode well for that streak. Bates is a high-end option when he's on the field, as he's accrued 22 tackles (16 solo) so far. Brandon Wilson would likely start at free safety Thursday against the Jaguars if Bates can't go.

Eight tackles in season finale
Bates, who recorded eight tackles (five solo) in Sunday's loss to Baltimore, ended his season with 109 tackles (78 solo), three interceptions, 15 passes defended and one forced fumble in 16 games.
Analysis: Bates put together a strong third season in Cincinnati, once again hitting triple digits in tackles, recording multiple interceptions and setting a career high in pass breakups. The 24-year-old is under contract for one more season, and although he's yet to record his first career sack, he's otherwise amply demonstrated his diverse skill set over his first three pro campaigns.

Paces team in tackles
Bates registered 11 total tackles, one pass deflection and one interception during Sunday's 31-20 win against Tennessee.
Analysis: Bates delivered a crucial takeaway in the early going, intercepting a Ryan Tannehill pass in the Bengals' end zone to snuff out a would-be scoring drive at the 5:16 mark of the first quarter. The 23-year-old safety was also Cincinnati's most involved tackler on the afternoon, notching five more in the tackle column than any other player on the defense.

Analysis: Bates hit double-digit tackles for the second time in three weeks, and he's piled up five pass breakups through four games. The 23-year-old safety is averaging eight tackles per game and is on track for a third straight 100-tackle campaign.

Bates notched 10 tackles (three solo) during Thursday's 35-30 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Bates missed a handful of tackles on Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt during the Week 2 divisional loss, but he was far from the only problem for Cincinnati's run defense.
