Who Should I Start? Elijah Higgins or Ben Sinnott

Monday, September 30, 7:51 AM

Arizona Cardinals tight end Elijah Higgins caught two of his three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's loss to the Washington Commanders. Filling in for the injured Trey McBride (concussion), Higgins had a favorable matchup against a Commanders defense that has struggled in pass coverage this season. However, he failed to capitalize, as the Cardinals managed just 142 passing yards despite shifting to a pass-heavy game script. Although Higgins was on the field most of the snaps, there seemed to be no emphasis on getting him the ball. Given his limited involvement in this opportunity, Higgins remains a long shot as a streaming option next week against the San Francisco 49ers.

Washington Commanders rookie tight end Ben Sinnott could be in line to see a season-high in snaps on Sunday when he faces the Philadelphia Eagles. Starting tight end Zach Ertz (concussion) is listed as questionable and was unable to practice all week which puts him in an uphill battle to turn the corner in time for kickoff. As a result, fantasy managers should expect John Bates to operate as the No.1 option, but the rookie could find himself in a significant role. Last weekend, when Ertz left the game early due to a concussion, Sinnott logged an impressive 40 offensive snaps which was almost double than his previous high. In this game he caught his lone target for seven yards. This was only his fifth reception of the campaign. While he should not be trusted in any formats this weekend he is worth paying attention to, especially in dynasty formats as he will likely be the future TE1 in the DMV in 2025.
