Donnell was targeted eight times by Eli Manning and he continued to make Washington pay in the red zone throughout the night. Donnell nearly finished with four touchdowns, as one of his targets in the end zone was just out of his reach.
Fantasy impact: Through four games, Donnell has 25 receptions for 236 yards and four touchdowns. For those owners who picked him up as a streaming option at tight end, he's looking more like a reliable TE1 every week. The Giants had not allowed a tight end to score until Thursday night.
Opposing defenses will likely start to focus more attention toward Donnell after this performance, but he keeps getting open down the seam, providing a quick throw for Manning to make in the Giants new uptempo offense. Some owners might want to sell high on Donnell after this weekend. Otherwis,e he's a TE1 next week against the Atlanta Falcons.
