Bates went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Texans. Bates was limited to two PATs entering the fourth quarter, but that's when he left his mark in Week 10. The 25-year-old nailed a 58-yard field goal with 5:06 left in the game, tying it up at 23-23. He later walked it off with a game-winning 52-yarder as time expired. Through nine games in 2024, Bates is a perfect 14-for-14 on field-goal tries, including three makes from 50-plus, while also going 32-for-33 on PATs.

Bates made his only field-goal attempt while converting all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-14 win over the Packers. Bates attempted only one field goal for the third game in a row, making a 27-yarder in the second quarter. With swirling wind and rain throughout Sunday's contest in Green Bay, it was a challenging day to be a kicker. Bates has now gone 12-for-12 on field goals while making 30 out of 31 PATs in 2024.

Bates made his only field-goal attempt and went a perfect 7-for-7 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 52-14 win over the Titans. Bates was once again limited to just one field goal in Week 8, hitting a 51-yarder in the third quarter, extending the team's lead to 52-14. The kicker continues to have one of the highest weekly floors in fantasy, operating with a Detroit team that has averaged an NFL-high 33.4 points per game in 2024. Through seven contests, Bates has gone 11-for-11 on field-goal tries while making 27 of 28 PATs.

Bates just had an incredible game at Dallas with 19 Fantasy points, and he connected on 4-of-4 field goals and 5-of-5 PATs. But prior to that, he scored eight Fantasy points combined in his previous two games against Arizona and Seattle, where he didn't attempt a field goal. This week, Bates is facing a Vikings defense that has allowed just seven field goal attempts on the season in five games, with only four made kicks. And Minnesota has allowed just eight PATs all year. This probably isn't the week to trust Bates in most leagues.

Bates went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and 5-for-5 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys. Bates had gone back-to-back games without a field goal, but he was a busy man in Week 6, nailing four field goals in the Lions' dominant victory over Dallas. With Detroit averaging 30.2 points per game as a team, Bates figures to remain one of the more consistent fantasy options at kicker. Through five games in 2024, he's gone a perfect 9-for-9 on field-goal attempts while making 16 out of 17 PATs.
