John Bates News
Wednesday, December 24, 10:23 AM
Washington Commanders tight end John Bates was outsnapped 37 to 27 by second-year tight end Ben Sinnott in last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Bates has served as Washington's No. 2 TE for most of the season, primarily as a blocker. He posted his highest route share (50%) of the season in Week 15 with Zach Ertz (knee) out for the season, but that mark cratered in Week 16, falling to just 16%, his lowest since Week 2. Sinnott profiles as the better receiving option and is seeing his role increase in that area. He jumped to a season-high 56% route share last week. Bates seems to be trending back toward his typical role as the top blocking tight end and shouldn't be considered a fantasy option on Christmas Day against the Dallas Cowboys, especially considering Washington's starting QB is likely to be Josh Johnson with Marcus Mariota (hand, quadriceps) injured.

Drew Ogletree News
Friday, March 13, 11:42 AM
The Indianapolis Colts re-signed tight end Drew Ogletree to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday, league sources told James Boyd of The Athletic. The former sixth-round pick in 2022 out of Youngstown State missed his entire rookie season due to a torn ACL in his knee. Since then, he has had four touchdown catches in three years and has mostly been used as a blocker on offense. Ogletree has a total of 22 catches for 283 yards and four touchdowns on 41 targets in his three seasons played in Indianapolis. Last year was his worst stat-wise, as the 27-year-old caught just four passes on six targets for 27 yards and one touchdown in 15 games (five starts). Ogletree isn't even a stash option in dynasty/keeper leagues and could be the TE4 for the Colts going into next season, behind Tyler Warren, Will Mallory, and Sean McKeon.
