Houston released King on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
King had been on the roster bubble throughout the preseason and may have sealed his fate with a muffed punt return in Houston's preseason finale. The veteran cornerback has extensive NFL experience as both a defender and return man, so he should be able to land on a team's roster in short order.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2018
King wrapped up a second successful season with Houston, recording 93 tackles (fourth on team) and picking off two passes. In addition to his work in the secondary, King was Houston's top punt returner, averaging 9.4 yards on 33 returns. The top two cornerback spots are open in theory, but 2022 first-round draft pick, Derek Stingley, is one preferred starter. That leaves King competing with Steven Nelson and Shaquille Griffin.
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Won't stick long in Pittsburgh
CBPittsburgh Steelers
October 17, 2023
The Steelers plan to release or trade King in the near future, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
King signed with the Steelers this summer after spending the last two years in Houston. However, he's been on the field for only 16 total snaps -- 15 on special teams and one on defense. He had five interceptions combined between 2021 and 2022, so he should find a role somewhere around the league after his time in Pittsburgh comes to an end.
