Bates went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and converted both of his extra-point attempts Sunday against the Rams.
Bates was perfect in his NFL debut, nailing both of his field-goal tries from 25 yards and 32 yards in Detroit's victory. The kicker was thrust into a starting role after Michael Badgley (hamstring) sustained a season-ending injury in August, and he's in a favorable position for fantasy value with the Lions' high-scoring offense.
