John Bates - Scores second NFL touchdownBates caught three of four targets for 24 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-13 win over Atlanta.

ImpactBates handled his usual role as Washington's in-line tight end, though it came with more snaps (58 percent) than usual in a run-heavy contest. Logan Thomas still ran most of the routes and got most of the snaps on passing downs, so Bates isn't a great bet to repeat the production Week 13 against the Giants.

Jahan Dotson - Targeted onceDotson was targeted once and didn't catch any passes in Sunday's 19-13 win over Atlanta.

ImpactDotson played more than 60 percent of snaps for a second straight week but has been targeted only four times in three games since missing more than a month with a hamstring injury. The Washington offense has become much more run-oriented since the early part of the season when Dotson scored four TDs in his first four games, and Terry McLaurin has taken on a larger share of the targets ever since Taylor Heinicke took over at quarterback. It's a situation that's left Dotson and Curtis Samuel with only a few targets each week, making neither an attractive fantasy option for Week 13 at the Giants.

Curtis Samuel - No targets, only carries in winSamuel wasn't targeted in Sunday's 19-13 win over Atlanta, finishing with four carries for 13 yards on a season-low 60 percent of snaps.

ImpactSamuel had season lows for targets and snap share the week before and went even lower against Atlanta, though he did take multiple carries for a fifth time in the past six games. He's seen four of fewer targets in five straight now, with his new role perhaps more conducive to team success but doing no favors for his fantasy value. While useful in real life as a dual threat, Samuel can't be relied on for much in fantasy at this point as the Commanders prepare for a Week 13 game against the Giants and then a late by in Week 14.

Joey Slye - Misses PAT in winSlye made both field-goal attempts and one of two PAT tries in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Falcons.

ImpactSlye missed a PAT in the third quarter, but he connected on all of his other kicks, including a 30-yard field goal in the second quarter and a 45-yarder in the fourth. The 26-year-old kicker has missed only twice on 20 field-goal attempts while converting 17 of 19 PAT attempts.
