David Harrison· Jul 5, 2026
Harrison names tight end Ben Sinnott and wide receiver Luke McCaffrey as his fourth and fifth Commanders offensive "internal" breakout candidates for 2026, projecting Sinnott to work as the No. 2 move tight end behind Chikokonkwo with a ceiling of 40 catches, 350 yards and five touchdowns, and McCaffrey to settle in as a trusted No. 4 receiver with a realistic line around 30 catches, 425 yards and four scores.
“The ceiling here, I think, could be 40 catches, 350 yards, and five TDs.”
