Brenden Bates

Brenden Bates (ankle) was limited at practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Bates has been dealing with this ankle issue for a while already and was limited for another practice on Wednesday as a result. It shouldn't affect his availability for Week 16, however, and he will continue to play a depth role for the Browns for the foreseeable future.

Brenden Bates (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Week 15's matchup against the Chicago Bears.

Fantasy Impact

Bates was sidelined last week because of his ankle injury, but he was able to practice all week and carries no injury designation heading into the weekend. He should be a full go against the Bears and will see more opportunities than usual with David Njoku (knee) set to be sidelined for the Browns.

Brenden Bates has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Fantasy Impact

Bates remains off the fantasy radar when he is healthy.

The Cleveland Browns have ruled tight end Brenden Bates out for Sunday's matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The reserve pass-catcher sustained the ankle injury during the team's victory over the Raiders last week.

Fantasy Impact

Bates' absence will not alter the fantasy landscape, as he serves as a deep depth option on the roster. He has seen limited playing time throughout the campaign, logging a total of just 41 offensive snaps this season.

The Texans waived TE Brenden Bates.

Fantasy Impact

Bates will likely seek another opportunity with a different team.
