Dak Prescott throws four touchdowns in Cowboys’ Week 17 victory.

Prescott was excellent in a thrilling win in which the Cowboys went all out despite being locked into the No. 4 seed in the NFC. The third-year quarterback was 27/44 for 387 yards and four touchdowns, hitting tight end Blake Jarwin for three touchdowns before hitting Cole Beasley on a 32-yard dime on a fourth down for the game-winning score late in the fourth quarter. This game should be a confidence-booster for Prescott heading into the postseason, and he’ll of course get Ezekiel Elliott back in the lineup to take pressure off him when Dallas hosts Seattle on Saturday night. Prescott’s regular season ends with 3,885 yards, 22 touchdowns, and eight interceptions along with 75 carries for 305 yards and six touchdowns. Prescott ended up the No. 10 fantasy quarterback this season, outscoring players like Philip Rivers (by less than a point), Kirk Cousins, and Tom Brady.

Chris Hogan caught six passes for 64 yards in Sunday’s win over the Jets.

Hogan was targeted a team-high 11 times, as New England was likely trying to get him going before another playoff run. The veteran finishes the regular season with a 35/532/3 receiving line, and he will look to make a big impact starting in the AFC Divisional Round in a couple weeks.

Kenny Stills throws touchdown pass in loss to the Bills.

Stills caught three passes for 27 yards, also adding a three-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Tannehill on his only attempt of the game. The Oklahoma product finishes his age-26 campaign with 37 receptions for 553 yards (14.9 average) and six touchdowns. It could be a year of turnover for Miami heading into 2019, but the expectation is that Stills will be back as an effective deep threat and quality late-round flier in fantasy drafts.

Kapri Bibbs gets four touches in Packers’ Week 17 loss.

Bibbs carried one time for two yards and caught three passes for 13 yards against the Lions. This was Bibbs’ first work in Green Bay after he spent most of the season in Washington and played well. On the year, Bibbs had 21 carries for 103 yards and three touchdowns along with 16 receptions for 115 yards and one touchdown. The Packers have him under contract for next season after claiming him from the Redskins earlier this month.

Eli Manning throws two touchdowns in Week 17.

Manning as 24/41 for 301 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions along with a fumble lost against the Cowboys. The interception was on a bad decision in the red-zone, but overall Manning played well and helped lead the Giants to 35 points in a tough loss. Manning’s first season in Pat Shurmur’s offense ends with 4,299 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions while completing 66.0% of his passes. He also had 20 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. Over the final eight games of the year, Manning had a 13:5 TD/INT ratio, and the Giants are clearly very open to brining him back as the starter in 2019. Helping Manning is a quarterback draft class that looks weak, though there could be a strong options available in free agency this offseason. If Manning is done in New York, it’s been a great run with a couple of championships, but we’ll see what happens in the coming weeks and months.

Ryan Tannehill, Dolphins get blown out in season finale, 42-17.

Tannehill was 18/31 for 147 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions, also adding two carries for nine yards and a three-yard touchdown reception. Miami was in playoff contention just last week, but they lost 17-7 to the Jaguars to be eliminated, and now the year ends with a blowout in Buffalo. Tannehill started 11 games this season, completing 64.2% of his passes for 1,979 yards, 17 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. It sounds like Adam Gase could be fired, and the Dolphins can move on from Tannehill in the offseason, so it will be interesting to see what they end up doing. If things stay in place for 2019, the franchise would need some serious upgrades at receiver for Tannehill to be anything more than a low-end QB2.
