2024 second-round pick Ben Sinnott has run a wider variety of routes in training camp, lining up at number one receiver on the outside, running five-step ins, corners, options, and flat routes. Sinnott said of the expanded role: "It's not even close. So many different variations. Today we're lining up at number one [receiver on the outside], we're running five-step ins, we're running corners, we're running options, we're running flat [routes]. We're just doing everything. It's so much fun. It's a breath of fresh air for this offense and how it uses tight ends."

Sinnott, the 2024 second-round pick tight end, has impressed in training camp with an expanded route tree in the new offense. The source notes 'so in his place there was plenty of work for Chig Okonkwo and Ben Sinnott. It was another impressive day for both tight ends.' Sinnott himself highlighted the dramatic expansion: 'It's not even close. So many different variations. Today we're lining up at number one [receiver on the outside], we're running five-step ins, we're running corners, we're running options, we're running flat [routes]. We're just doing everything. It's so much fun. It's a breath of fresh air for this offense and how it uses tight ends.'

Second-round pick Ben Sinnott is part of a tight end room that has dramatically expanded its route tree in 2026. Sinnott noted the difference is stark compared to prior seasons: 'It's not even close. So many different variations. Today we're lining up at number one [receiver on the outside], we're running five-step ins, we're running corners, we're running options, we're running flat [routes]. It's so much fun. It's a breath of fresh air for this offense and how it uses tight ends.' The expanded role represents a significant shift in offensive usage for the position.

Ben Sinnott, a third-year pro and No. 53 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, 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 athletically profiles like today's Move-TEs with a 4.68 40, a 40-inch vertical, and a 6.82 3-cone drill. When he has been targeted, he has produced, and he is positioned to see increased usage in the new scheme.

Sinnott serves as a case study for tight end worst-case scenario in dynasty leagues. After the 2024 draft, he rocketed to TE14 and, despite showing nothing for two full seasons, still makes regular appearances as a sleeper option. In his first offseason, he was still a top-20 dynasty tight end. This example illustrates how even non-producing tight ends retain value in dynasty formats, providing context for why Eli Stowers will hold relatively strong value moving into 2027 even if he produces nothing in 2026.

Sinnott serves as a cautionary case study for tight end development timelines in dynasty leagues. After the 2024 draft, he rocketed to TE14 despite showing nothing for two full seasons. In his first offseason, he remained a top-20 dynasty tight end and continues to make regular sleeper appearances, demonstrating that even underperforming tight ends retain dynasty value due to positional scarcity and the historical difficulty of the position.

PositiveBreakoutJul 23, 2026Hogs Haven
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.
