Headed to Atlanta
Bates is in line to sign with the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The Bengals have lost both their starting safeties within the first few hours of the NFL's legal tampering period, seeing Bates depart for Atlanta shortly after Vonn Bell reached terms with the Panthers. The silver lining for Cincinnati is a big opportunity ahead for 2022 first-round pick Dax Hill, who played only 131 defensive snaps in 15 games as a rookie. Bates, meanwhile, immediately becomes one of the best players for an Atlanta defense that's been bad for the past half-decade. He has a good chance to rebound from last year's career-low 71 tackles, though big-play opportunities figure to be fewer and further between unless the Falcons improve considerably from 2022.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
2019
Bates has been one of the top safeties for four years, but 2021 was arguably his worst season.
Rather than the start of a decline, Bates’ regression more likely marks an aberration that will
soon be corrected with a bounce back. His 88 tackles and one interception in 15 games last
year were acceptable, but that’s not quite the standard he set his first three years, all of which
hit triple-digit tackles and three interceptions.
