Washington Commanders tight end Ben Sinnott (ankle) heads into Sunday night's matchup against the Denver Broncos without an injury designation after missing Week 11 due to an ankle injury. Sinnott hasn't played a big role as a receiver for Washington this season as the third tight end behind Zach Ertz and John Bates, but he could see more opportunities down the stretch with the state of the Commanders' season. The 2024 second-round pick caught his first touchdown of the season the last time he played in Week 10 versus the Detroit Lions. For the season, the 23-year-old has played 28.5% of the snaps on offense with just three receptions (three targets) for 33 yards and a touchdown. Sinnott has shown promise as a blocker, but hasn't flashed much as a receiver yet. He has high-end athletic traits, but hasn't seen many opportunities with Ertz holding down the pass-catching role. Sinnott is still a solid stash in dynasty leagues and will be a player to watch down the stretch.

Washington Commanders tight end Ben Sinnott (ankle) has been downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Miami Dolphins. The 23-year-old popped up on the injury report as a limited participant on Thursday, and he was a non-participant on Friday. Sinnott, a second-year tight end, has caught all three of his targets for 33 yards and a touchdown this season. He has been firmly entrenched in a depth role behind Zach Ertz. The Kansas State product's absence will result in John Bates backing up Ertz this Sunday.

Washington Commanders tight end Ben Sinnott (ankle) is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 11 matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Madrid. Sinnott was added to the injury report on Thursday with an ankle injury and is listed as a non-participant in practice on Friday. The 23-year-old has played a minimal role in Washington's passing game this season, recording three catches for 33 yards and a touchdown on three targets across 10 games played. Still, a potential absence for Sinnott in Week 11 could lead to more opportunities for Commanders TE1 Zach Ertz. Ertz has hauled in 35 catches for 345 yards and four touchdowns so far in 2025 and profiles as a fringe top-12 fantasy tight end in Week 11 against Miami.

Washington Commanders tight end Ben Sinnott (ankle) has been added to the Week 11 injury report after he was limited in the team's practice on Thursday, according to John Keim of ESPN. Sinnott was a full participant on Wednesday, so with the downgrade, he might be questionable to play this weekend in Madrid, Spain, against the Miami Dolphins. If the 23-year-old can play this Sunday overseas, he could have an elevated workload with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps), Luke McCaffrey (collarbone), and Treylon Burks (finger) all ruled out. Still, fantasy managers shouldn't be holding their breath at all, as Sinnott has a mere three receptions (three targets) for 31 yards and one touchdown on the year, and he's unlikely to produce much as long as starting TE Zach Ertz remains healthy.

Washington Commanders tight end Ben Sinnott could be in line to see more snaps in Week 3 against the Raiders with tight end John Bates (groin) out. Sinnott has operated as Washington's third tight end since being drafted in the second round of last year's draft, but he has a chance to see a career high in snaps this week. Sinnott only played three snaps total and caught one ball for eight yards with Bates injured in Week 2's loss to the Packers, and how often he plays in Week 3 will be telling for the second-year tight end. He's not a direct replacement for Bates because he's not as good a blocker at the point of attack, but he is solid at blocking on the move and is an excellent athlete. There could be some specific packages for Sinnott against the Raiders, and getting a real look at him in game action will be noteworthy for his dynasty value. But he isn't on radars in redraft leagues for Week 3.

Washington Commanders tight end Ben Sinnott looks primed for more playing time in Week 3 against the Raiders with John Bates (groin) unlikely to play, according to head coach Dan Quinn. Bates is Washington's primary blocking tight end and is pivotal to what they do in the run game. Sinnott played only three snaps in the Thursday night loss against Green Bay, but did catch one ball for seven yards. Sinnott has played some in three tight end sets as a move blocker and isn't quite a direct replacement for Bates. Bates is an incredibly stout point of attack blocker for a tight end and is roughly 15 pounds heavier than Sinnott. The 2024 second-round pick is an elite athlete with some intriguing upside as a receiver, but has mostly been used as a move blocker with Washington. We will learn a good bit about how the coaching staff views Sinnott after this week's game.

Washington Commanders tight end Ben Sinnott drew three targets and had two receptions for 10 yards against New England on Friday. It was a relatively quiet opener for the 2024 second-round pick, but he made a couple of nice catches and got separation on other throws where he wasn't targeted as well. He got most of the reps in the first half with veteran Zach Ertz resting before taking the second half off. The Kansas State product had modest production as a rookie with six catches for 51 yards and a touchdown in the regular season and playoffs combined. His snap count decreased over the final stretch of games, but he's generated positive reports from head coach Dan Quinn throughout Commanders' training camp. Sinnott has elite athletic traits at the tight end position and could be entrusted with a larger role in his second season. He carries contingent fantasy value if Zach Ertz were to miss any time.

Washington Commanders tight end Ben Sinnott has stood out during offseason practices, according to head coach Dan Quinn. The Commanders selected Sinnott in the second round (53rd overall) in last year's draft out of Kansas State, but he was buried on the depth chart all year and caught only five passes for 28 yards and a touchdown in 17 regular-season games (two starts) in his first year in the NFL. The 22-year-old may be standing out this offseason, but he'll have a long way to go to find a bigger role in Washington's passing attack as long as veteran TE Zach Ertz stays healthy. There's also John Bates to contend with if Ertz were to miss any time. Sinnott does have the size and speed to be worth watching if he does get a bigger opportunity, but for now, he's off the radar in standard-sized fantasy leagues.
