Why This Rating
✦ Blitz AI
John Bates is rated 37.3, placing him 74th among 115 tight ends. He is averaging 2.1 fantasy points per game through three games in 2026, held down by his worst component: context-adjusted efficiency at the 12th percentile, which reflects poor expected points added relative to opportunities. His rating is materially affected by a sample-size adjustment that pulled his raw score of 28.8 toward the position average, since only three games represent a partial sample against a five-game threshold for full weight. His red zone positioning (65th percentile) offers some upside, but opportunity volume sits in the bottom quarter of the position, limiting the ceiling.
