Jake Bates converted all four of his extra point attempts as well as his lone field goal attempt to finish with seven points in the Lions' 31-30 win over the New Orleans Saints in Week 1.
Fantasy Impact
Bates made the most of his opportunities behind a Detroit offense that battled consistency issues in the season opener. The kicker should once again be in line for plenty of opportunities in what should be a high-scoring Week 2 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
