Who Should I Start? Pat Freiermuth or Ben Sinnott

Saturday, November 8, 12:27 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth has topped four targets in just one game this season but will hope to remain a reliable red-zone target for quarterback Aaron Rodgers in a Week 10 clash with the Los Angeles Chargers. Freiermuth has three touchdown catches over his last three contests, including two from inside the 20-yard line. Unfortunately, if he doesn't find the end zone on Sunday night, his fantasy output will likely disappoint as the Chargers have surrendered the fifth-fewest receptions and fifth-fewest yards to opposing tight ends this year. The 27-year-old is a fine dart throw in a pinch, but Freiermuth can't be started with any real confidence this week.

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.
