Anyone see this guy producing at all? I have him on a numerous amount of teams of mine, and I'm getting the itchy finger to drop him...

It depends on whom you are dropping him for.  I, personally, like Kelly Campbell and even Nate Burleson there more both for now and in the long-run, but he may be worth being patient with for at least the first couple weeks.

As the number 2 WR he should get a lot of single coverage when Moss is doubled however he has not shown an ability for getting open or taking advantage of these situations.  The fact they cut Derrick Alexander maybe bodes well for Bates but his success probably hinges on a strong running attack and a useful TE set so that he is only one option in the arsenal and therefore causes the D to set priorities.  Two weeks will tell the tale...why did you draft him on numerous teams?

Well, I didn't "draft" him. He's on mostly all my auto-pick drafted teams.
 
Well possible adds for him could be Steve Smith, Just McCareins, Tim Brown, etc.

GREAT "Gridiron" advice, yet again!  Bobby O and the Rock in the house!  Hold steady with this guy for a couple, KJ!  And, if he pans out, don't miss out on using the team name, "Master Bates"!
