Who Should I Start? Ben Sinnott or Harold Fannin Jr.

Saturday, September 20, 11:33 AM

Washington Commanders tight end Ben Sinnott could be in line to see more snaps in Week 3 against the Raiders with tight end John Bates (groin) out. Sinnott has operated as Washington's third tight end since being drafted in the second round of last year's draft, but he has a chance to see a career high in snaps this week. Sinnott only played three snaps total and caught one ball for eight yards with Bates injured in Week 2's loss to the Packers, and how often he plays in Week 3 will be telling for the second-year tight end. He's not a direct replacement for Bates because he's not as good a blocker at the point of attack, but he is solid at blocking on the move and is an excellent athlete. There could be some specific packages for Sinnott against the Raiders, and getting a real look at him in game action will be noteworthy for his dynasty value. But he isn't on radars in redraft leagues for Week 3.

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (hamstring) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Fannin entered this past weekend with a questionable tag and still suited up against the New York Jets. He hauled in four of his seven targets for 44 yards in the loss. This marks the fifth straight game that Fannin has hauled in at least four receptions in a single game. He has been one of the few decent fantasy options on the Browns roster this season. Fantasy managers will need to monitor his status closely this week with him getting a limited session to start the week.
