Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into dynasty fantasy football lately, and one name keeps popping up: Ben Sinnott. I figured, let’s get my hands dirty and see what all the fuss is about. This is me, just walking you through my process, no fancy jargon, just plain old digging.
First Step: Gotta Watch the Tape
First thing I always do, pop open the laptop and fire up some game footage. I’m not a scout, but you can still get a good feel for a player by, you know, actually watching them. I hit up YouTube, checked out some highlight reels, and then looked for full game replays. Gotta see the good, the bad, and the ugly, right?
- Initial Impression: Dude’s got hands. Seriously, he snatches the ball out of the air. He’s not just waiting for it; he’s going up and getting it.
- Blocking: Okay, this is where it gets interesting. He’s not a liability, which is good, but he’s not exactly mauling anyone either. Definitely room for improvement there.
- Route Running: I was surprised! He’s pretty smooth for a big guy. He’s not just running basic stuff; I saw him working the seams, finding soft spots in zones. It wasn’t all perfect, but the potential is there.
Checking the Stats
I looked into his numbers. I checked the basic stuff, catches, yards, touchdowns. Not gonna lie, I also peeked at some advanced stats, like yards per route run and contested catch rate. Those can be a little noisy, but they can also give you a hint of what a player’s truly capable of.
For example, His receptions and yards took a big jump in his last season. Shows he’s developing, getting better. That’s what you want to see.
Team Situation
Now, you can’t just look at a player in a vacuum. Where did he land? Who’s the quarterback? Is the coach a fossil who hates tight ends? All that matters.
Sinnott landed with the Commanders. I think the quarterback situation might help him, but that also means he could easy be replaced.
The coach seems to like using tight ends, so that’s a plus. But there’s also already a tight end there. So, Sinnott’s got some competition, but it’s not like he’s buried on the depth chart.
My Gut Feeling (and it’s just a feeling)
After all this digging, watching, and number-crunching, here’s where I’m at: I’m cautiously optimistic. I think Sinnott’s got the talent to be a solid fantasy tight end. He’s got the hands, the athleticism, and he’s in a decent spot.
He’s not a sure thing, no rookie tight end ever is. But I’m definitely going to be keeping an eye on him in my dynasty drafts. He’s the kind of guy who could surprise people.
So, yeah, that’s my Ben Sinnott deep dive. Hope it was helpful! Just remember, this is just my take. Do your own research, watch the games, and trust your gut!
