Ben Sinnott

Sinnott has a strong lower half that serves him well as a blocker and as a receiving option. Sinnott can push defenders off their mark as a blocker and utilize his legs to break tackles as a receiver. He forced the third-most missed tackles among tight ends last year. Sinnott is an underrated athlete. He uncovers quickly in routes with smooth hips while having decent speed and strong tackle-breaking ability. Sinnott was mostly utilized as an underneath receiving option, but he was also given the occasional seam shot. He has the speed to threaten down the seam. Sinnott is talented enough as a receiving option to develop into a trusted third option in an NFL passing game. Kansas State used him as a fullback at times or as a pulling option on rushing plays. Sinnott had no issues clearing the road. He's a solid blocking option across the board, with at least a 71.4 PFF grade in both pass pro and run blocking last season. Dynasty Outlook: Sinnott lands in a fantastic spot with glorious second-round draft capital. Zach Ertz and his one-year deal are the only things standing in the way of Sinnott competing for the second chair in the target pecking order behind only Terry McLaurin. Sinnott likely doesn't see full-time snaps in year 1 with Ertz standing in his way, but if Ertz goes down or Washington decides to go with the talented rookie out the gate, it could be wheels up. Jahan Dotson is the incumbent second target in this passing attack, but he's coming off a down sophomore season, and the coaching staff that drafted him in the first round is long gone. Sinnott is the total package. In his final season in college, not only did he rank ninth in yards per route run and PFF receiving grade, but he was also fourth in missed tackles forced and 15th in yards per route run against man coverage among FBS tight ends (per PFF). Sinnott is a strong second-round rookie draft pick in all dynasty formats, especially any tight-end premium leagues.

The Washington Commanders have selected TE Ben Sinnott with the No. 53 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

The Commanders are working on rebuilding the tight end position on their roster. Sinnott will have a chance to learn form a seasoned veteran in Zach Ertz and should be the tight end of the future in Washington.
