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.

Oscar Delp News
Tuesday, June 16, 5:55 PM
New Orleans Saints tight end Oscar Delp (hamstring) is back on the field during team drills. Delp is back to making an impact after suffering a hamstring injury during the second week of OTAs. The third-round rookie was reportedly putting on a show during recent drills. Since his return, Delp has reportedly been the most targeted player during 7-on-7 drills. The Saints are hopeful that Delp can be a significant part of their future. He's currently in competition for snaps with Juwan Johnson and Noah Fant. Delp might not have a huge role in the Saints' offense right away, but he is certainly a promising young player.
