Sinnott failed to record a single target in Monday's 38-33 win over the Bengals. Despite not being targeted in the contest, Sinnott saw his snap percentage increase to 42 percent in Week 3 after averaging a 21 percent snap share in the first two weeks. The rookie tight end continues to play behind both Zach Ertz and John Bates, limiting his opportunities in the Commanders' offense. Sinnott should continue to develop going forward, but he remains off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Cardinals.

Ben Sinnott Latest News
Not involved in win
Sinnott failed to record a single target in Monday's 38-33 win over the Bengals. Despite not being targeted in the contest, Sinnott saw his snap percentage increase to 42 percent in Week 3 after averaging a 21 percent snap share in the first two weeks. The rookie tight end continues to play behind both Zach Ertz and John Bates, limiting his opportunities in the Commanders' offense. Sinnott should continue to develop going forward, but he remains off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Cardinals.
Minimal role in win
Sinnott failed to record a single target in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants. Through two weeks, Sinnott has seen the field for just 26 offensive snaps and has not been targeted in the passing game in either contest. The rookie tight end continues to play behind veterans Zach Ertz and John Bates, and he'll likely find it difficult to see consistent playing time in Washington's offense in the early part of the 2024 campaign. Sinnott will look to continue his development in a limited role when the Commanders visit the Bengals in Week 3.
Doesn't play much Week 1
Sinnott wasn't targeted in Sunday's 37-20 loss at Tampa Bay, playing only 23 percent of snaps on offense. Zach Ertz ran 21 routes to Sinnott's four and tied for the team lead with four targets. That won't necessarily hold up all year, but Ertz figures to again lead the Washington tight ends in snaps, routes and targets in a Week 2 matchup with the Giants. Sinnott, a second-round pick, likely will have to settle for incremental role increases during the early part of his rookie season.
Makes 44-yard catch in NFL debut
Sinnott caught all three of his targets for 57 yards in Saturday's 20-17 preseason loss to the Jets. Sinnott is expected to begin his career as a depth option behind veteran Zach Ertz, who got a day off Saturday. Sinnott got free down the seam for a 44-yard catch in the second quarter, but it's worth noting that all of his production came with third- and fourth-string quarterbacks Jeff Driskel and Sam Hartman in the game rather than Jayden Daniels or Marcus Mariota, who played one drive apiece. While this was a promising NFL debut for the rookie tight end, the 2024 second-round pick still needs to work his way up the depth chart in order to get opportunities with Washington's starters. Sinnott should see plenty of playing time in next Saturday's preseason game against the Dolphins.
Listed as third-stringer
Sinnott is listed as the third-string tight end on Washington's initial preseason depth chart. It's not shocking given that there haven't been reports of Sinnott working with the starters at training camp, but he's still the Washington tight end with the most potential to make a dent for fantasy purposes, considering the guys listed ahead of him are 33-year-old Zach Ertz and veteran blocker John Bates. Ertz is a strong favorite to enter Week 1 as the team's top pass-catching tight end; the question is how long he'll keep that role after averaging 8.6 and 6.9 yards per catch for Arizona the past two seasons. Sinnott holds a massive athleticism advantage over late-career Ertz -- something he proved at at the 2024 NFL Combine with a 4.68-second 40-yard dash, 40-inch vertical and 126-inch broad jump. The 53rd overall pick had the best vertical jump, broad jump and cone drill (6.82 seconds) among tight ends at this year's combine, and he did it at 6-foot-4, 250 pounds, i.e., prototypical size for his position.
