Rookie tight end Ben Sinnott has received high praise from the draft community, with many ranking him as the TE2 in this class behind only Brock Bowers. The Commanders prioritized him in the draft, selecting the Kansas State tight end in the second round. At 6'4" and 250 lbs, Sinnott combines respectable speed with excellent overall athleticism, demonstrated by his productive final collegiate season in which he caught 49 passes for 676 yards and six touchdowns. He also maintained a relatively clean bill of health throughout college, further solidifying his status as one of the safer tight ends in the draft.
Sinnott joins a Washington team that quietly led the NFL in total pass attempts last season. While the team has undergone significant changes this offseason, there's still a chance he could see plenty of opportunities. He's likely to start the season behind Zach Ertz on the depth chart, but Ertz has struggled with injuries for multiple seasons, potentially allowing Sinnott to see more playing time than most TE2s.
However, recent history suggests that Washington's offensive coordinator, Kliff Kingsbury, might not have a great eye for potential at the tight end position. In 2022, Kingsbury's first season as head coach of the Cardinals, rookie Trey McBride barely saw the field until Ertz suffered a season-ending injury in Week 10. The following season, with Kingsbury gone, McBride broke out, catching 81 passes for 825 yards.
While McBride and Sinnott are not directly comparable players, it's notable that Kingsbury tends to lean more heavily on veteran skill position players in his offenses than most other coaches do. This trend could limit Sinnott's immediate impact, especially with Ertz on the roster.
Sinnott could eventually be a great selection for fantasy managers in dynasty drafts, but his prospects for a breakout in 2024 are uncertain unless Ertz suffers another injury. If that does happen, Sinnott should be prioritized on the waiver wire, as he's one of the few TE2s on rosters who have a realistic potential to provide weekly starter numbers if given a starting role.
