New York Giants tight end Larry Donnell did not register a catch against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. He was targeted just one time in the 30-20 victory.

The Falcons must have watched a lot of tape from Week 4 because they absolutely were not going to allow Donnell to duplicate his three-touchdown game. They would not allow him many free releases and he wasn’t able to get open.
The addition of Odell Beckham Jr. also messed up the target distribution and the Giants had a game plan to run the ball a ton. Beckham was on the field a lot in the second half and was the apple of Eli Manning’s eye down the stretch.
Fantasy impact: The sad part is that Donnell said that he did play himself in fantasy football. He said he played Vernon Davis over him last week and it cost him a win. Fantasy owners shouldn't panic and Donnell is still a solid TE1 against the Eagles next week.
