Yes, the Giants’ tight end admitted Wednesday that he indeed benched himself in fantasy football in favor of 49ers tight end Vernon Davis, missing out on his career-best performance that included seven catches for 54 yards and three touchdowns.

“Would’ve won if I played me,” Donnell told me after practice Wednesday. “During the game, I’m like, ‘Really?’ That’s the honest truth.”
