D'Eriq King

The New England Patriots waived former Miami QB/WR D'Eriq King on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

King, who was one of the teams UDFA pickups, will have his tenure end after just a couple of weeks. He has been trying to transition from QB to RB/WR at the NFL level, so this could be a sign that his conversion isn't going smoothly. It's unclear if he will be on a roster at all for this next season, but it's highly unlikely that he will have any sort of fantasy relevance, even if he manages to sneak on a roster.

Former Miami quarterback D'Eriq King has agreed to sign with the New England Patriots as an UDFA.

Fantasy Impact

King, who primarily played quarterback in college, is expected to play many different positions for the Patriots. He has been working out as a wide receiver, and there is speculation that he wants to try his hand as a running back too. He will have a fair shot to compete for a spot on the roster for this season, and if he does make it, his versatility will be enticing for fantasy.

Draft prospect D'Eriq King is drawing draft interest as a wide receiver and returner.

Fantasy Impact

King player quarterback in the back end of his collegiate career, but he is looking at a possible position switch for the NFL. He has participated in drills as a receiver and returner at various showings, and he is drawing interest from teams. It remains to be seen if and when he will get drafted, and fantasy mangers could look at his as a possible deep-sleeper in a rookie draft.

Miami QB D'Eriq King is planning to do wide receiver workouts in addition to quarterback workouts at the NFL combine.

Fantasy Impact

King is planning to run routes with the wide receivers in hopes that teams will take note of his versatility. He started his career as a wide receiver at Houston, and it could be his ticket to being a player NFL teams want to take a chance on. No official position change has been made, and it is still unclear how much interest there would be around the league about him as a receiver.
