Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Core kicker hold — the DVS blends recent production with the years still left.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Bates made 27 field goals in 2025, finishing K9. At 28, he's in the typical K peak window. Looking at 2026, he's a situational piece unless the role grows. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
