Makes six stops in finale
King recorded six tackles and returned one punt for 16 yards in a 32-31 victory over the Colts in Week 18.
ANALYSIS
King ranked fourth with 89 tackles and tied for the lead with 10 for a loss this season. The six-year veteran has put together two consecutive strong seasons for the Texans, including five interceptions over that span. King averaged 9.4 punt return yards on 33 chances and returned one kickoff for 50 yards. He has one year left on his deal and should be part of the Texans' secondary in 2023.

Chris Olave could finish his remarkable rookie season in strong fashion against Carolina's backup corners.

Amon-Ra St. Brown is providing monstrous late-season production again and should continue against Minnesota.
2018 Fantasy Outlook
The do-it-all secondary player was a certifiable weapon for the Chargers' defense last season, tallying 76 tackles, four sacks and an interception in his rookie campaign. While the selection of 2018 first-round-pick Derwin James likely ends any hope of King earning a starting spot at safety, the 23-year-old is expected to reprise his role as a multi-faceted cornerback capable of blitzing from the box or covering receivers in nickel and dime sets.
