Jessie Bates Active for Falcons Despite Knee Injury, Carries IDP Risk

Atlanta Falcons safety Jessie Bates is active for today's game against the Patriots, despite being limited in practice throughout the week due to a knee injury. While he is cleared to play and can be used in IDP lineups as planned, the lingering injury adds a layer of risk for fantasy managers, especially those with close decisions at the defensive back position.
