New York Giants TE Larry Donnell had one of the best performances in fantasy football last week. He tore it up and had teams crying that had him sitting on their bench. He also had opposing teams crying if they actually saw him in the lineup with the massive amount of points that he put up.

There was one person that didn’t put him in their fantasy lineup and lost their game by 15 points, the amount of points that Donnell definitely would have overcome. It was Larry Donnell himself.
Donnell sat himself on the fantasy bench and instead started Vernon Davis. That was a giant mistake. Luckily the Giants had more faith in the tight end then the tight end had in himself for the game.
There must be a huge conflict of interest for these guys in the league that own themselves in fantasy football. I would never bench myself though. NEVER. Donnell may never do it again.
