Who Should I Start? Ben Sinnott or Terrance Ferguson

Saturday, November 15, 10:34 AM

Washington Commanders tight end Ben Sinnott (ankle) has been downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Miami Dolphins. The 23-year-old popped up on the injury report as a limited participant on Thursday, and he was a non-participant on Friday. Sinnott, a second-year tight end, has caught all three of his targets for 33 yards and a touchdown this season. He has been firmly entrenched in a depth role behind Zach Ertz. The Kansas State product's absence will result in John Bates backing up Ertz this Sunday.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson has an opportunity to ascend into a larger role during Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ferguson has struggled to carve out a significant snap share this season, but he could make that leap this week after Tyler Higbee (ankle) was placed on injured reserve. The rookie will likely operate as the Rams' No. 2 tight end behind Colby Parkinson, primarily serving as a big-yardage threat downfield. He has five catches on 11 targets this season, and he's averaging a whopping 27.6 yards per reception. The 22-year-old hasn't produced these big catches consistently enough to warrant starting him in fantasy football, but he's inching closer to a fantasy-relevant role with Higbee now sidelined. In the short term, Ferguson ranks as the overall TE34 in RotoBaller's Week 12 fantasy rankings.
