Larry Donnell caught seven passes for 54 yards and three touchdowns a week ago as his Giants trampled the Redskins. Which was great for Larry Donnell in reality, but not so great for Larry Donnell in fantasy.
See, Larry Donnell owns Larry Donnell on his fantasy football team. During a moment of uncertainty or perhaps respect for his tight end elders, Larry Donnell benched Larry Donnell in Week 4, starting Vernon Davis instead.
Davis left San Francisco’s win over Philadelphia early with a back injury, and recorded only two catches for eight yards. That ended in a single fantasy point. One.
Meanwhile, Larry Donnell’s mammoth night would have earned Larry Donnell 22 points, depending on the scoring format.
Larry Donnell told The Bergen Record he regrets the decision:
“Would’ve won if I played me. During the game, I’m like, ‘Really?’ That’s the honest truth.”
Next time, Larry Donnell. Next time.
