Tavarres King Fantasy Stats

The Minnesota Vikings are waiving wide receiver Tavarres King(leg) on Friday with an injury designation. King had a career-high 18 receptions for 240 yards and the first three touchdowns of his NFL career in eight games with the Giants in 2017. Even if he would've made the final roster in Minnesota, he wouldn't have been a fantasy weapon.

The Minnesota Vikings signed free-agent wide receiver Tavarres King to an undisclosed deal on Thursday. King was with the Giants since 2015 and also spent time with the Broncos, Panthers, Buccaneers and Jaguars. Eighteen of his 22 career catches since 2014 came with the Giants last season when they dealt with a series of unfortunate injuries to their top wideouts. King is more of a special teams asset and is no lock to make Minnesota's final roster.

The New York Giants placed wide receiver Tavarres King (concussion) on Injured Reserve on Saturday. In corresponding moves, offensive linemen Adam Bisnowaty and Nick Becton and tight end Ryan O'Malley were signed to the active roster from the practice squad. King suffered a concussion in Week 15. He played in just eight games this year, recording three starts that included 18 catches for 240 yards and three touchdowns. He was never a fantasy factor.

New York Giants wide receivers Sterling Shepard (neck) and Tavarres King (concussion) and tight end Evan Engram (ribs) have all been ruled out for Week 17 against the Redskins. None of the trio were expected to suit up this weekend in a meaningless game. Shepard and Engram were New York's best options in the passing game for most of the year after Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) and Brandon Marshall (ankle) were lost early in the season. Engram has proved he will be an elite fantasy tight end moving forward, although New York's uncertainty at the quarterback position may pose a problem. In Week 17, Roger Lewis will be the team's No. 1 wideout. You'd be wise to avoid the Giants offense completely.

New York Giants wide receivers Sterling Shepard (neck) and Tavarres King (concussion) and tight end Evan Engram (ribs) all missed practice Wednesday. Shepard and Engram were injured in the Week 16 loss, while King sat out last weekend. In a meaningless Week 17 game against the Redskins, the G-Men could elect to rest all three players, making them extremely risky for fantasy. Quarterback Eli Manning may not even play the full game, giving owners another reason to shy away from New York's entire offense in this one.

New York Giants wide receiver Tavarres King (concussion) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Cardinals. With King out, Sterling Shepard and Roger Lewis will be New York's top two wideouts in a tough matchup with Arizona's stingy secondary. Only Shepard is worth starting in fantasy leagues this weekend as quarterback Eli Manning's favorite target.

New York Giants wide receiver Tavarres King (concussion) sat out of practice for the second straight day Thursday. King is looking doubtful to pass through the league's concussion protocol in time to play in Week 16 against the Cardinals. Sterling Shepard and Roger Lewis should serve as the team's top two wideouts for that game, with only Shepard being fantasy relevant on championship weekend.

New York Giants wide receiver Tavarres King (concussion) remains in the concussion protocol and did not practice Wednesday. King will need to pass the protocol sometime this week in order to have a chance of playing against the Cardinals in Week 16. Even if he does suit up, he won't be a fantasy option, as he has only 18 catches for 240 yards and three touchdowns on the season.

New York Giants wide receiver Tavarres King (concussion) is in the concussion protocol after taking a shot to the head in Week 15. King had two catches on three targets for a season-high 70 yards and two scores in the Week 15 loss to the Eagles, and he's no lock to be ready to play in Week 16 in a much tougher matchup against the Cardinals. Despite the big game, King isn't much more than a fantasy dart throw in the deepest of leagues in the fantasy Super Bowl.

The New York Giants are expected to re-sign wide receiver Tavarres King on Monday, according to a source. It makes total sense with Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) and Dwayne Harris (foot) done for the season. Brandon Marshall (ankle) and Sterling Shepard (ankle) are also hurt and could miss multiple weeks. Putting it lightly, New York's receiving corps is the walking dead. King should help on special teams and will compete with Travis Rudolph for targets behind Roger Lewis moving forward. King isn't an attractive fantasy pickup.
