Sinnott is listed as the third-string tight end on Washington's initial preseason depth chart.
It's not shocking given that there haven't been reports of Sinnott working with the starters at training camp, but he's still the Washington tight end with the most potential to make a dent for fantasy purposes, considering the guys listed ahead of him are 33-year-old Zach Ertz and veteran blocker John Bates. Ertz is a strong favorite to enter Week 1 as the team's top pass-catching tight end; the question is how long he'll keep that role after averaging 8.6 and 6.9 yards per catch for Arizona the past two seasons. Sinnott holds a massive athleticism advantage over late-career Ertz -- something he proved at at the 2024 NFL Combine with a 4.68-second 40-yard dash, 40-inch vertical and 126-inch broad jump. The 53rd overall pick had the best vertical jump, broad jump and cone drill (6.82 seconds) among tight ends at this year's combine, and he did it at 6-foot-4, 250 pounds, i.e., prototypical size for his position.
