Not reporting to camp Tuesday
Bates won't report to Bengals training camp Tuesday with the rest of the team's veteran players, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: One of the NFL's premier safeties, Bates hit the ground running as a second-round pick in 2018 and hasn't looked back, averaging 110 tackles and 2.7 interceptions per 17 games played in four pro seasons. The Bengals predictably applied the franchise tag to Bates back in March, and after the two sides were unable to reach an agreement on an extension before the July 15 deadline he's required to play out the upcoming campaign on the tag. With a holdout imminent, it remains to be seen how the…read more

Plans on skipping training camp
Bates has no intentions of reporting to training camp, nor playing on the franchise tag, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports.
Analysis: Bates had the franchise tag applied to him by the Bengals in March, but he's yet to sign his contract tender and already skipped the team's voluntary OTAs. The 2018 second-round pick posted his least productive season of his career in 2021, totaling 88 tackles and one interception over 15 games, but his potential holdout would nonetheless be a huge blow to Cincinnati's defense in 2022. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Bengals' final offer guaranteed Bates only $4 million more over five…read more

Doubtful to see extension
It's unlikely that Bates and the Bengals will come to terms on a contract extension before Friday's 4:00 p.m. ET deadline for franchise-tagged players, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Bates had the franchise tag applied to him by the Bengals in March. The 25-year-old has yet to sign his contract tender and already skipped the team's voluntary OTAs due to his lack of an extension. Bates posted the least productive season of his career in 2021, totaling 88 tackles and one interception over 15 games, but his potential holdout would nonetheless be less than optimal for Cincinnati's defense as the coming season approaches.

Could skip OTAs
Bates said he intends to take it day-by-day when asked if he'll join the Bengals for voluntary OTAs, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Bengals placed their franchise tag on Bates at the beginning of March. The two sides have until July 15 to work out a multi-year deal, but if they don't, Bates will operate under the terms of the franchise tag during the 2022 campaign. His comments suggest he may be willing to sit out if he's unhappy with the negotiation progress.

Franchise tag applied by Cincy
The Bengals on Monday used their franchise tag on Bates, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Bates totaled 20 tackles (11 solo), six pass deflections and two interceptions across four postseason games during the team's Super Bowl run. With the move, Cincinnati will have until July 15 to work out a multi-year contract with the safety, but if they don't, Bates will operate under the terms of the franchise tag during the 2022 campaign.

Lowest tackle numbers of career
Bates recorded 88 tackles (67 solo), four pass breakups, one interception and one fumble recovery across 15 appearances in 2021.
Analysis: Bates failed to reach the 100-tackle mark for the first time in his young career this season, though he did miss two contests. The 2018 second-round pick remains an every-down defensive starter for Cincinnati and a notable IDP asset, but fantasy managers will hope for a more consistent 2022 campaign. This offseason, however, Bates is currently scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent.

Makes nine stops vs. Niners
Bates had nine tackles (eight solo) and one pass breakup during Sunday's overtime loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Bates played 100 percent of defensive snaps during Sunday's overtime loss, putting together his fourth game of the season with nine tackles. Though Bates hasn't yet logged a day with double-digit stops this year, he continues to provide a solid fantasy floor as a tackler. The Bengals will travel to Denver in Week 15.

Picks off first pass of season
Bates totaled eight tackles (six solo) and one interception during Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Sunday's performance was Bates' fourth game with at least eight tackles this season. He now has 50 stops through seven contests this year and is on pace for his fourth straight 100-plus tackle campaign. The 24-year-old safety's fantasy value has a solid floor due to his tackling totals, but if he can continue to force turnovers, then his fantasy ceiling will grow exponentially.

Ties team high with seven tackles
Bates recorded seven tackles (four solo) during Sunday's win over the Ravens.
Analysis: Bates tied Logan Wilson for a team-high seven tackles Sunday, and he now has 42 total tackles through six games this season. The 24-year-old safety has yet to force a turnover or record a sack during the 2021 campaign, so his fantasy ceiling is limited, but his tackle production makes him a viable option in deeper IDP leagues.

No limitations Wednesday
Bates (neck) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Bates missed last Thursday's win over the Jaguars, but he's back at practice with no limitations Wednesday. The 24-year-old should reclaim his starting role at free safety this weekend against Green Bay.

Will miss Thursday night game
Bates (neck) has been ruled out of the Bengals' Week 4 contest Thursday against the Jaguars, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Bates will miss his first-ever game since entering the NFL in 2018 as a second-round pick out of Wake Forest. The Bengals' starting free safety has had a strong start to the season so far, managing 22 tackles (16 solo) in three games. Expect Brandon Wilson to fill in for Bates Thursday night against the Jaguars.

Sits out practice
Bates (neck) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Bates has yet to miss a game since entering the league as a second-round pick in 2018. However, he has missed two straight practices, which doesn't bode well for that streak. Bates is a high-end option when he's on the field, as he's accrued 22 tackles (16 solo) so far. Brandon Wilson would likely start at free safety Thursday against the Jaguars if Bates can't go.

Rings up nine tackles
Bates produced nine tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win against the Vikings.
Analysis: Bates has been unhappy about not having a contract extension despite posting 320 tackles, 31 pass breakups and nine interceptions through his first three NFL seasons. The 2018 second-round pick is a strong weekly IDP option, especially with his upside in coverage.

Eight tackles in season finale
Bates, who recorded eight tackles (five solo) in Sunday's loss to Baltimore, ended his season with 109 tackles (78 solo), three interceptions, 15 passes defended and one forced fumble in 16 games.
Analysis: Bates put together a strong third season in Cincinnati, once again hitting triple digits in tackles, recording multiple interceptions and setting a career high in pass breakups. The 24-year-old is under contract for one more season, and although he's yet to record his first career sack, he's otherwise amply demonstrated his diverse skill set over his first three pro campaigns.

Posts 13 tackles
Bates made 13 tackles (10 solo) and forced a fumble in Sunday's 19-7 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: Bates put up his fourth double-digit tackling performance of the season. He's up to 88 tackles through 12 games, putting him on track to reach a career high in the category. The 2018 second-round pick has already registered a career-high 13 pass breakups as well.

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

Tallies seven tackles
Bates had seven tackles (six solo) and two passes defensed during Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Bates played every defensive snap for the third straight contest and is well on his way to another 100-tackle season. The 24-year-old has 39 tackles (22 solo) and seven pass breakups through five games.

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

Another 100-tackle season
Bates accumulated 100 tackles (71 solo), nine defended passes, three interceptions, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 16 regular-season contests in 2019.
Analysis: Bates has reached 100 total tackles in each of his two NFL seasons, solidifying his value as a solid IDP asset. The 22-year-old will reprise a starting role in Cincinnati's secondary when the 2020 season kicks off.

Two big plays in loss
Bates logged four tackles (three solo) as well as a forced fumble and a pass breakup in Sunday's 38-35 loss to Miami.
Analysis: With the effort, Bates has reached 100 tackles in each of his two NFL seasons. He'll need to tie his season high of 12 in Week 17 against Cleveland in order to set a new career mark.

Registers four stops

Analysis: Bates is closing in on his second straight 100-tackle season, as he sits at 95 stops through 14 games. The 23-year-old has also notched a career-high eight pass breakups this season, rounding out as a solid IDP asset.

Records third interception
Bates recorded his third interception of the season to go along with two tackles (one solo) in Sunday's loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Bates was one of three Bengals to be on the field for all 56 defensive snaps. He now has three interceptions in the previous five weeks and will look to carry that momentum into Week 15 when the team welcomes the Patriots to town.

Snags another interception
Bates produced seven tackles and one interception during Sunday's 17-10 loss to Oakland.
Analysis: Bates has now picked off a pass in consecutive games, this time jumping a short route to intercept a Derek Carr pass intended for Hunter Renfrow. Averaging just under eight tackles per game in 2019, Bates should continue to be busy in Week 12 against Pittsburgh.
