Difficult path to targets again
TEWashington Commanders
March 12, 2026
Sinnott has a chance to earn a larger role in 2026, but free-agent signing Chig Okonkwo figures to replace Zach Ertz (knee) as Washington's top pass-catching tight end, according to Bryan Manning of Commanders Wire.
ANALYSIS
With Kliff Kingsbury calling plays the past two seasons, Sinnott drew just 18 targets in 33 regular-season games (652 snaps). New offensive coordinator David Blough may have a somewhat larger role in mind, but the recent Okonkwo signing (three years, $30 million) hints at Sinnott and John Bates mostly blocking again. Bates is a better blocker, and he signed an extension last March, putting Sinnott at risk of a third straight season as merely the No. 3 TE in Washington. Sinnott may even enter training camp on the roster bubble, albeit with age (24 in June), draft capital (53rd overall in 2024) and athleticism (4.68 40) working in his favor.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
Sinnott was a non-factor in his rookie season, recording just five catches for 28 yards and one TD while filling a depth role behind Zach Ertz. The 34-year-old Ertz will return on a one-year deal in 2025, and the Commanders also re-signed John Bates, who had three times as many receiving yards as Sinnott in 2024. Sinnott’s certainly capable of beating Bates out for the top backup spot, but the 2024 second-round draft pick out of Kansas State appears unlikely to challenge Ertz for the starting role in 2025. It isn’t unusual for TEs to take a year or two to spread their wings in the NFL, but Sinnott’s dynasty value is fading, and his redraft value appears minimal at the moment.
Sinnott was the second tight end selected in the 2024 NFL Draft, going 53rd overall to Washington, where he will have the opportunity to carve out a prominent role from the get-go alongside rookie second overall pick Jayden Daniels. Logan Thomas is a free agent after leading all Commanders tight ends with 496 receiving yards last season, though Washington brought in 33-year-old Zach Ertz as part of the effort to replace Thomas. Given that Ertz had only 187 receiving yards in seven games with the Cardinals last season before suffering a quadriceps injury, it's probably just a matter of time until Sinnott finds himself atop the depth chart. The 6-foot-4, 250-pound tight end caught 49 passes for 676 yards and six touchdowns at Kansas State in 2023, showing impressive run-after-the-catch ability and good speed (4.68) for a player that started his college career as a fullback.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could step up after Ertz injury
TEWashington Commanders
December 11, 2025
Sinnott could have an expanded role down the stretch, as Zach Ertz was placed on injured reserve Wednesday due to a knee injury.
ANALYSIS
After Ertz's injury, the Commanders have Sinnott, John Bates and Colson Yankoff on the roster at tight end. Bates has been working slightly ahead of Sinnott, but the 3-10 Commanders have greater incentive to find out how Sinnott fares in an expanded role, as Sinnott was drafted in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft and Ertz is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
