Signed a four-year, $20.4 million contract with the Bills in April of 2023.
Promising health outlook
General manager Brandon Beane said this week that Bass, who missed the entire 2025 campaign due to a pelvic injury that required surgery, is close to full health again. "If he's not 100 (percent), he's right at it," Beane said Monday as reported on the Bills' official site.
ANALYSIS
Bass has handled the Bills' kicking duties since being drafted in 2020, but the team was forced to go with Matt Prater and Michael Badgley in 2025. Bass never came close to suiting up due to a sports hernia that ultimately required surgery in November. Neither Prater nor Badgley is with the team any longer, so it looks like the Bills are comfortable with Bass being their main guy next season. He could prove to be a sleeper if he gets forgotten about due to his lack of 2025 stats, as well as the fact that the Bills have a new offensively minded head coach in Joe Brady to boost their Josh Allen-led attack.

2020
Through five seasons as Buffalo's kicker, Bass has never been worse than 16th at the position in fantasy scoring but has just one instance finishing better than ninth. He's converted no fewer than 24 and no more than 28 field goals each season, along with 48-59 PATs, playing 83 of a possible 84 regular-season games since entering the NFL as a sixth-round pick in 2020. There were some rumblings of dissatisfaction after Bass missed three kicks during the 2023 playoffs, but he rebounded with a solid season in 2024, including a perfect record in three postseason games. Bass thus remains locked in as the kicker for an elite team, albeit in a PAT-heavy environment that makes him a passable fantasy option rather than a top-notch one.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Restructure candidate
Bass might have his contract restructured before the beginning of the season, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old kicker has dealt with a pelvis injury in training camp, but unlike last offseason, Bass's job is in no jeopardy after a strong 2024 campaign in which he went a perfect 4-for-4 in field-goal attempts from 50 yards or longer while setting career highs in PAT volume, connecting on 59 of 64 attempts over 17 regular-season games. Restructuring Bass's current contract would save Buffalo a crucial $1.59 million as the team struggles to get under the salary cap.
