Sinnott's two-year production drought shows tight ends hold value despite poor performance.

Sinnott is a cautionary case study for tight end development; after the 2024 draft he rocketed to TE14 despite showing nothing for two full seasons, yet he still makes regular sleeper appearances and was a top-20 dynasty tight end in his first offseason. This demonstrates that even non-producing tight ends retain dynasty value due to positional scarcity and the expectation of eventual development.
