Antiramie 50 Posted October 5, 2014 This is the year of starting players every wrong week for me. Benched Donnell last week for Olsen and vice versa this week. Prob gonna cost me a win again this week because of it. Also had Golden Tate and Quick on my bench too. Brutal season so far...can't get anything right. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vikings4ever 496 Posted October 5, 2014 Mental note: every week, ask Donnell if he's starting himself. Then do the opposite. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Breesman32 11 Posted October 6, 2014 Eli is not a TE guy, he throws to them only when he needs to. Today, he didn't need to. Falcons however have been putting Alford on TEs this year and using Trufant to spy the QB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â Not for the top tier TEs which this guy was being put in that tier by some. Â Â Donnell became a star because of the 3 TD performance. I think he is still a decent start at TE...but more of a guy relying on a TD to ever get him to double digits and there will be tough days were you eek out 2 points from him.

Â Graham is really the only TE that's not reliant on TD's to be productive. Yes, some of the others are safer bets to get those TD's but for example yesterday was the first game that Gronk had more than 4 catches or 44 yards, and 2 of Thomas's games have been less than 40 yards. Â Still, I don't think people were really putting Donnell in the tier with those guys, maybe a bit below them where most of the other guys haven't been weekly studs either.

Cuse9 128 Posted October 6, 2014 I traded for him last week...it was my fault he dropped the shitty game. So did I! I figured it was my fault?! Â Â Â Breesman32 Posted Yesterday, 09:10 PM Eli is not a TE guy, he throws to them only when he needs to. Today, he didn't need to. Falcons however have been putting Alford on TEs this year and using Trufant to spy the QB. Â I thought the same thing. He's never been a guy that throws to the TE position a lot. Everytime I read about Donnell they talk about how Eli has always utilized his TE's. I've been to lazy to look up numbers, but I don't remember any TE's standing out with Eli. Maybe Shockey? Â None the less, I think Donnell will be fine. He's had such a breakout year that it makes sense he'll start to get more attention. Other guys will step up, Cruz, Randle, OBJ, Jennings....Donnell will bounce back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ODB played well, too. just wasn't his day. no reason for alarm. Â Watched a lot of game. Falcons made a point to have a DE or LB bump him most of the time to slow his release into routes. Bumped and double teamed him at the goal line. Paid him a lot of attention. When D's go back to worrying about the WR's Donnell should go back to being a decent TE play.

tanatastic 2,061 Posted October 6, 2014 Donell likely done with the emergence of Odell and the nfl catching on. But hes still a guy Eli could target in the redzone. Think of him as scott chandler! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â Im not talking about just this year. Gronk does get pumped up with his TDS...but he has gotten the targets more consistently over his career too. (and is higher up on the target list as far as a consistent producer near the GL). Where is Donnell in the Giants GL pecking order. Gronk is likely #1 for the Pats as a Redzone target. I don't think Donnell is their #1 option in the redzone. Â I think you will see him more reliant on TDs though....so weeks like this will come for a TE like Donnell.

Antiramie 50 Posted October 13, 2014 What do you do with this guy going forward? Is he droppable? Right now he's my second TE, but at this point I don't even know if I'd ever start him over Olsen (besides his bye week). Â He obviously still has potential. Huge frame and redzone looks (awesome TD catch called back tonight), but without the targets he's useless. ATL made it a point to not let him beat them last game. And tonight Eli couldn't take 2 steps without someone knocking him over. Even still, how do you not try to throw to him when he's looked unstoppable at times? Â Are these terrible couple games the exception or the norm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flint5 4 Posted October 13, 2014 He went off against the Redskins who make any average player look good. Is it any wonder Donnell has not been able to even come close to matching his performance against the Redskins? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antiramie 50 Posted October 13, 2014 He was still playing well before the Redskins game. Like 6-7 targets a game and a ton of redzone looks. And now it's like he doesn't exist. You'd think with how the O-line is playing lately he'd get even more targets! Nope. Coughlin would rather run the ball and have Eli take 7 step drops when their line is playing like garbage and they're down 50 pts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barber2309 26 Posted October 13, 2014 To be fair, he did he a td called back after a holding penalty and was targeted in the end zone at least one other time. Problem is that eli targets him in the red zone and not much else and the giants didn't spend much time in the red zone today. He will have some more good games but he is more of a low end #1 or decent bye fill in and not a reliable every week starter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
