Commanders' Ben Sinnott: Scores touchdown on Thursday Night Football
Sinnott caught all four of his targets for 42 yards and a touchdown Thursday in a 24-21 victory against the Giants.
Sinnott gave the Commanders a lead just before halftime when he reeled in a one-yard touchdown from Jaylen Daniels. It was his first TD of the season and the third of his career. Sinnott's four grabs came out of nowhere, as he'd logged just one catch on two targets through his first eight games of the season. He also ranked third among Washington tight ends Thursday with 24 offensive snaps -- behind Chig Okonkwo (41) and John Bates (28) -- so fantasy managers probably don't need to go rushing to the waiver wire to pick him up. With that said, Sinnott may have earned himself more opportunities with Thursday's effort.

Commanders' Ben Sinnott: Full participant Thursday
Sinnott (ribs) upgraded to full participation at Thursday's practice.
Sinnott has regained health after kicking off Week 5 prep with a limited session Wednesday. He's expected to continue working in a depth role Sunday against the Giants behind Chig Okonkwo (hamstring), who was limited at practice both Wednesday and Thursday. Sinnott failed to step up when Okonkwo missed two games earlier this season.

Commanders' Ben Sinnott: Limited Wednesday
Sinnott (ribs) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
With Chig Okonkwo back from his hamstring injury last Sunday against the Colts, Sinnott logged just 24 of 64 offensive snaps and wasn't targeted in the passing game. Lightyears from fantasy relevance, Sinnott has one catch for six yards across four appearances this season.

Commanders' Ben Sinnott: Cleared for Week 4
Sinnott (ribs) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Sinnott has no fantasy value, especially with Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) cleared to return against Indianapolis after missing the previous two contests. Sinnott has one catch for six yards on two targets across three appearances this season.

Commanders' Ben Sinnott: Limited at Thursday's practice
Sinnott (ribs) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
Both Sinnott and Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) remained limited Thursday after being estimated as limited participants during Wednesday's walkthrough. Sinnott failed to capitalize on Okonkwo's absence over the previous two games, recording just one catch for six yards on two targets over that span. If Sinnott suits up Sunday against the Colts, most of his contributions will come as a blocker.

Commanders' Ben Sinnott: Limited with rib injury
Sinnott (ribs) was estimated as limited in Wednesday's practice.
Sinnott played 34 offensive snaps in the upset win over the Seahawks in Week 3, and now his status is in some question heading into the Commanders' matchup with the Colts in London on Sunday. While Sinnott earned a limited designation Washington, the Commanders merely held a walkthrough. Sinnott's status will particularly bear monitoring the rest of the week, as Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) remains questionable after missing the last two games.

Commanders' Ben Sinnott: Catches sole target in loss
Sinnott caught his only target for six yards in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Cowboys.
Sinnott played 48 of the Commanders' 71 offensive snaps as well as nine special-teams snaps in Sunday's contest. The tight end started due to Chig Okonkwo's (hamstring) absence and also put in plenty of time as a blocker.

Commanders' Ben Sinnott: Bigger role on tap
Sinnott should operate in an elevated role in the Commanders' offense against the Cowboys on Sunday after Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) was ruled out.
Sinnott did not see a target from Jayden Daniels during the Commanders' Week 1 loss to the Eagles, with the former playing 18 snaps on offense. John Bates is expected to be the Commanders' TE1 in Okonkwo's absence, but Sinnott -- who drew praise from the coaching staff for his development during training camp -- also should operate in an elevated role against Dallas.

Commanders' Ben Sinnott: Doesn't record a stat
Sinnott played on 18 offensive snaps and 16 special-teams snaps but did not record a stat in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Eagles.
The tight end was third in his positional rotation behind Chig Okonkwo (38 snaps) and John Bates (32). Sinnott caught 16 passes across his first two regular seasons in the NFL, but he has functioned mainly as a blocker in his professional career.

Commanders' Ben Sinnott: Full participant in Wednesday's practice
Sinnott (oblique) practiced in full Wednesday.
Sinnott has been battling an oblique injury since the preseason. However, his full participation in Wednesday's practice suggests he is cleared to suit up for the Week 1 meeting with the Eagles. The 24-year-old appeared in 16 regular-season games for the Commanders in 2025, totaling 11 catches for 114 yards and one touchdown.

Commanders' Ben Sinnott: Sidelined for preseason finale
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that Sinnott is dealing with an oblique injury and is unlikely to play in Friday's preseason finale versus the Ravens, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
Sinnott won't practice this week after sustaining the injury this past Saturday. Quinn didn't indicate that the tight end's availability for the Commanders' Sept. 13 season opener versus the Eagles is in any peril, but Sinnott will likely need to return to full practice at some point over the next two-plus weeks to put himself on a path to play.

Commanders' Ben Sinnott: Running more routes in camp
Sinnott has run a wider variety of routes in training camp compared to previous years, though that is also the case for Washington's other tight ends, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
New offensive coordinator David Blough is emphasizing versatility in his tight-end room, which includes Sinnott, Chig Okonkwo and John Bates, among others. Okonkwo is expected to get most of the pass-catching opportunities at the position. Sinnott hasn't shown much in that department, as the 2024 second-round pick has just 16 catches through 33 career regular-season games.

Commanders' Ben Sinnott: Difficult path to targets again
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.
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.
