Ben Sinnott

Ben Sinnott has been - by far - the most productive tight end in the class, aside from Brock Bowers. Produced dominator ratings of 17% and 21% the last two seasons at Kansas State, capped off by finishing third in the nation in receiving yards per game among tight ends (56 yards per game).
Sinnott also posted top-3 marks in the 2024 tight end class in targets share (20%), YAC/game (27.4) and broken tackles forced per reception (31%).
Sinnott cemented himself in the running for TE2 in the class with elite athleticism to match his strong production with strong athletic testing at the NFL Combine
• 4.68 40-yard dash (70th percentile)
• 40″ vertical jump (1st in the class, 97th percentile)
• 126″ broad jump (1st in the class, 94th percentile)
• 6.82 3-cone (1st in the class, 96th percentile)
• 4.23 short shuttle (81st percentile)
At 6-foot-4 and 250 pounds, Sinnott looks like a solid sleeper tight end in this draft with no "true" standouts behind Bowers. His sleeper status is further heightened after he was selected in the 2nd round by the Washington Commanders. Sinnott fits what Adam Peters (formerly of the 49ers) would want at tight end. Great after the catch, super productive at the college level, above average athleticism, and experience as a fullback. He's Sam LaPorta, George Kittle, and Kyle Juszczyk all wrapped up into a fun package. The best part is that he has a path to targets in the Commanders' offense.

Ben Sinnott didn't record a target or catch in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact

The rookie had an unimpressive debut on Sunday. He wasn't able to log even a single target or catch over the course of the afternoon, and it appears that he is still below 33-year old Zach Ertz on the team's depth chart. He still has the potential to develop into a strong contributor, but that isn't likely to happen anytime soon.
