Jake Bates
K - Detroit Lions
82°Jake Bates converted all three of his field goal attempts as well as his lone extra point attempt to record 10 points in the Lions' 20-16 Week 2 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Fantasy Impact
Bates continues a solid start to his inaugural season in the NFL, recording at least eight points in each of the first two games of the season for the Lions. The kicker should continue to see plenty of opportunities to convert as part of a dynamic Detroit offensive attack, with a Week 3 road matchup against the Arizona Cardinals up next.
Jake Bates went 2-of-2 on his field goal attempts and made both of his extra points in Sunday's 26-20 OT win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Fantasy Impact
Bates had a pretty solid game on Sunday, making all of his attempted kicks in a close win over the Rams. Detroit's offense is projected to be one of the best in football this season, so the 24-year old should end up having a productive year on the stat sheet.
