Season so far
Jessie Bates has played just one game this season, making it too early to draw sweeping conclusions about his campaign. Through 66 snaps against Green Bay, he earned a replacement-level 65.3 overall grade. His performance was heavily anchored by 60 neutral reps alongside a handful of impactful plays in both coverage and run support. Bates shined late in the second quarter, highlighted by tight vertical coverage and a jarring third-down hit to force incompletions. However, his grade was limited by a blown deep safety assignment on third-and-11 that yielded a 45-yard completion.
