2 months agoWashington Commanders tight ends
John Bates (shoulder) and
Ben Sinnott (shoulder) were both listed as limited participants in Thursday's practice after they were both full-go in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. It's possible that both are merely being rested ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles, but there statuses will become more clear on Friday. Meanwhile, fellow TE
Zach Ertz (rib, rest) returned to a full practice on Thursday after picking up a DNP on Wednesday. As long as Ertz is healthy and on the field, neither Bates nor Sinnott are worth considering in fantasy playoff leagues. Bates had only eight catches on 13 targets for 84 yards and no touchdowns in 17 regular-season games, while Sinnott had five grabs for 28 yards and one score in 17 games.

3 months agoWashington Commanders tight end
Ben Sinnott (shoulder) logged a limited practice session for the second consecutive day in preparation for his team's meeting with the Detroit Lions this Saturday. The rookie was used sparingly in his debut campaign -- hauling in all five of his targets despite appearing in all 17 contests. Ironically, Sinnott played more snaps earlier on in the season than he'd rack up over its last three outings -- logging double-digit snap percentages twice as opposed to the 12 times he did so over the first 13 weeks. This role remained the same in the Wild Card round, as he registered just seven of a possible 73 snaps while fellow TEs
John Bates (38) and
Zach Ertz (46) handily out-snapped him. With the Commanders lining up on Saturday, the 22-year-old will have one more shot to enhance his practice participation before his team must designate a status for the Divisional Round. If he can't go, Bates and Ertz would garner a higher workload.

Ben Sinnott (shoulder) was cleared to return to Sunday's wild-card game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Sinnott sustained this shoulder injury during the first half of the game. The 22-year-old did not see a target in the passing game before exiting. Fantasy managers should expect
Zach Ertz and
John Bates to continue to operate as the top tight ends for the remainder of the game.

Ben Sinnott (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's wild-card game. Sinnott sustained this injury during the first half and did not see a target before exiting. While sidelined, fantasy managers should continue to expect
Zach Ertz and
John Bates to see the majority of the snaps at the tight end position. In the first half, Ertz caught his lone target for nine yards.
Update: Sinnott has been cleared to return
