Commanders' rising stars face defining moment to silence doubters for good
"When John Bates went down, there was concern that the run game would struggle. Sinnott answered the call, making his presence known despite not getting any receiving opportunities. He finished with the third-best run blocking grade on the team, according to Pro Football Focus. After the game, Dan Quinn praised his progress, saying, "That's the most he's played and the best he's played." If Sinnott can take the next step in the receiving game, he could begin to quiet critics questioning his draft status."
"After watching Marcus Mariota step in seamlessly, with young weapons Jaylin Lane, Luke McCaffrey, and Ben Sinnott all making an impact, the Commanders may be more equipped than expected. It also doesn't hurt that the Atlanta Falcons were just shut out by the Carolina Panthers in a demoralizing loss. There's a saying: Luck is when preparation meets opportunity. For Washington's fledgling trio of playmakers, that couldn't be more fitting heading into this weekend's clash."
Jayden Daniels, Terry McLaurin, John Bates, and Noah Brown were ruled out for Week 4, removing several top offensive contributors. Marcus Mariota replaced Daniels and played seamlessly. Young players Jaylin Lane, Luke McCaffrey, and Ben Sinnott made meaningful impacts. The Atlanta Falcons were shut out by the Carolina Panthers, adding to Washington's opportunity. Ben Sinnott finished with the team's third-best run-blocking grade per Pro Football Focus and earned praise from Dan Quinn. Luke McCaffrey caught all three targets, including a 43-yard touchdown. Washington may rely more on the young trio to sustain offensive production in Week 4.
