Eli Manning

If Week 17 did represent the last time Kirk Cousins or Eli Manning would be on the field for the Washington Redskins and New York Giants respectively, neither one did anything to prove that he should be getting big bucks from a team looking for a franchise quarterback in the offseason.

The Giants nearly shot themselves in the foot in the last week of the season. They won their third game of the year, but they'll still pick No. 2 in the Spring's NFL Draft after the Colts beat the Texans in a game running concurrently in the 1 p.m. ET hour.

Manning only went 10-for-28 for 132 yards in what is likely to be his final game as a member of the Giants. He didn't beat his Projected Fantasy Points total, but it was a rare day when a running back of his did.

Orleans Darkwa had the best game of his young career, amassing 154 rushing yards and a touchdown to produce a win on Dober Play Cards.

On a day that meant nothing to the Redskins, Cousins was awful, throwing for 158 yards and three picks. He did have a rushing touchdown, but he looked like a man who had no interest whatsoever in staying in D.C. beyond this game.

Kapri Bibbs did have a big game in defeat for Washington. He led the team in rushing and receiving and posted the only double-digit Dober Fantasy Points game of the day for the 'Skins.
