Who Should I Start? Tanner Conner or Ben Sinnott

Thursday, October 30, 10:23 AM

In the TE3 range for Week 9, Miami Dolphins tight end Tanner Conner should not be considered a starting option when Miami takes on the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football. The fourth-year tight end is playing more with Darren Waller (pectoral) on injured reserve, but isn't earning nearly enough work in the passing game to be relied upon in a fantasy lineup. Despite Waller missing significant chunks of the season, Conner has played more than half of Miami's snaps only once in eight weeks and has yet to catch more than two passes in a game this season. As Miami leans on receiver Jaylen Waddle, running back De'Von Achane, and receiver Malik Washington for the majority of its targets, there isn't enough receiving opportunity for Conner to be a fantasy option.

Washington Commanders tight end Ben Sinnott (ankle) has been added to the Week 11 injury report after he was limited in the team's practice on Thursday, according to John Keim of ESPN. Sinnott was a full participant on Wednesday, so with the downgrade, he might be questionable to play this weekend in Madrid, Spain, against the Miami Dolphins. If the 23-year-old can play this Sunday overseas, he could have an elevated workload with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps), Luke McCaffrey (collarbone), and Treylon Burks (finger) all ruled out. Still, fantasy managers shouldn't be holding their breath at all, as Sinnott has a mere three receptions (three targets) for 31 yards and one touchdown on the year, and he's unlikely to produce much as long as starting TE Zach Ertz remains healthy.
