3 years agoWashington Football Team tight end John Bates has locked up the backup role to starter Logan Thomas, according to the team's current depth chart. Washington used a fourth-round pick on Bates in the 2021 draft, so it should be no surprise he beat out Sammis Reyes and Ricky Seals-Jones for the No. 2 spot. The rookie doesn't figure to have any fantasy value unless Thomas were to miss some game action, but even then he could have a limited role in the passing game. Nonetheless, the former Boise State product could have some intrigue in dynasty leagues as Thomas enters his age-30 season. For now, he can be completely off the fantasy radar in redraft leagues.--Tommy Adamopoulos - RotoBaller
