John Bates News
Washington Commanders tight end John Bates could be in consideration as a streamer in Week 3. In their matchup against the Buffalo Bills in Week 3, the Commanders will be without their starting tight end Logan Thomas (concussion) due to injury. That should open up the door for Bates to take advantage. With Thomas missing for a portion of Washington's Week 2 win over the Denver Broncos, the third-year pro was able to put up three catches for 46 yards. Due to the position's woeful fantasy production, it couldn't hurt to take a shot on Bates as a low-end streamer in Week 3.
Washington Commanders tight end John Bates caught three-of-five targets for 46 yards in Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos. The third-year pro's involvement took a step forward in Week 2 as he saw the second-most targets on the Commanders after Terry McLaurin. With Week 3 on the way, we could see more targets coming Bates' way as Washington's starting tight end Logan Thomas exited Week 2 with a concussion. With the injury and his usage in mind, Bates could end up being a deep tight end streamer in Week 3 against the Buffalo Bills.
Washington Commanders tight end John Bates caught three-of-four targets for 24 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Atlanta Falcons. Bates has been a background player on this Washington roster for most of the year, but he saw more work in Week 12. Many thought that veteran tight end Logan Thomas would be the beneficiary of this strong matchup against the Falcons, but it was the second-year tight end who saw the more opportunity. While the solid performance was a pleasant surprise from the 25-year-old, his lack of previous usage keeps him irrelevant in fantasy.
