Commanders' John Bates: Quiet second season
Bates finished the 2022 season with 14 catches for 108 yards and a touchdown on 22 targets in 16 games.
The 2021 fourth-round pick mostly served as a blocker, playing no fewer than 20 offensive snaps and no more than 45 in his 16 appearances. Bates had 249 receiving yards as a rookie and could perhaps have a larger role in 2023, but he'll likely always be used as a blocker first and foremost, given his 6-6, 259-pound frame and lack of speed.

Commanders' John Bates: Blanked on stat sheet
Bates was not targeted in Sunday's 20-20 tie against the Giants.
Bates played 45 of the team's offensive snaps, but he failed to tally any stats. It was just the third time in 12 contests the second-year pro failed to see a target, and the sixth time he's gone without a reception. After a Week 14 bye, Bates will work to get on the stat sheet Week 15 in a rematch with the Giants.

Commanders' John Bates: Scores second NFL touchdown
Bates caught three of four targets for 24 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-13 win over Atlanta.
Bates handled his usual role as Washington's in-line tight end, though it came with more snaps (58 percent) than usual in a run-heavy contest. Logan Thomas still ran most of the routes and got most of the snaps on passing downs, so Bates isn't a great bet to repeat the production Week 13 against the Giants.
