Sinnott is also part of the dagger concept involving Treylon Burks and Terry McLaurin, demonstrating his role in multi-receiver route concepts that create leverage advantages for Daniels.NegativeRoleOct 13, 2026
Sinnott was the primary read on the Commanders' final play with 12 seconds remaining in overtime.

Ben Sinnott aligns as the F tight end in East Left formation (inside the Y tight end John Bates); on the featured run play, Sinnott uses his off-ball alignment to sift back across the formation, initially expecting to cut off the backside edge defender but instead adjusting to work inside Josh Conerly Jr. and climbing to the second level to block the linebacker—his heads-up play to locate the correct target and make contact at the perfect time allows Rachaad White to cut back and pick up 14 yards.NegativeUsageSep 24, 2026

It's a breath of fresh air for this offense and how it uses tight ends."

Sinnott is a third-year pro and No. 53 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft who was used sparingly by former offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury during his first two seasons.

He can double as an H-back operating out of the backfield and has produced when targeted, offering versatility in the new scheme.PositiveRoleJul 29, 2026

Sinnott, the third-string tight end, stands to benefit from Okonkwo's arrival by settling into a clearer role. The source notes that 'with as much as third-stringer Ben Sinnott stands to prove, Washington's front office readied for a pressure-filled offseason where they'd have to find someone to balance out the Commanders' offense,' suggesting Okonkwo's addition clarifies Sinnott's secondary role.PositiveBreakoutJul 23, 2026
Sinnott is positioned as an offensive breakout candidate under new coordinator David Blough's scheme, which the source describes as tailor-made for his skill set. Every touch produces positive results, but former coordinator Kliff Kingsbury underutilized him in favor of veteran Zach Ertz. The new offense will move Sinnott around the formation, deploy him as both blocker and pass catcher, and leverage his open-field abilities after the catch. With Chig Okonkwo functioning as a jumbo wide receiver and John Bates as the traditional tight end, Sinnott has significant opportunity. Breakout projection: 40 receptions, 450 yards, 5 touchdowns.NegativeRoleJul 22, 2026
Could be in line for more work in the Commanders' expanded tight end usage under new offensive coordinator David Blough. With the schematic shift toward utilizing the position more, Sinnott has an opportunity to increase his role.
