Paces team in tackles Bates registered 11 total tackles, one pass deflection and one interception during Sunday's 31-20 win against Tennessee.

Impact 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. Bates may be on pace for his first Pro Bowl nod, as he's already tied his career high with nine pass deflections after logging back-to-back 100-tackle years in 2018 and 2019.

Racks up 10 stops Bates posted 10 tackles and two pass breakups in Sunday's 33-25 win over the Jaguars.

Impact 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. With an every-down role locked in, Bates should be deployed accordingly in IDP formats.

Double-digit tackles in loss Bates notched 10 tackles (three solo) during Thursday's 35-30 loss to the Browns.

Impact 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. The 23-year-old is coming off back-to-back 100 tackle seasons, making him a reliable fantasy option in IDP formats. He'll look to rack up numbers again against the Eagles in Week 3.
