Who Should I Start? Payne Durham or Ben Sinnott

Friday, August 29, 8:14 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Payne Durham could potentially see a larger role in the offense to begin the regular season. The Bucs are uncertain if starting tight end Cade Otton (leg) is going to be ready to play during the season opener. The team will likely wait and see how Otton progresses throughout next week before making a final decision. If he misses time, Payne Durham and Devin Culp figure to split up time as the starting tight end. Durham didn't see a ton of action last season, but played well when Otton missed time late in the season. When Otton was out, Durham hauled in nine receptions for 81 yards and two touchdowns as the starter. There's not a lot of value here, but maybe Durham is a dart throw if Otton is unable to go in Week 1.

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.
