Chargers cornerback Desmond King was named AFC defensive player of the week for his Week 9 performance. King recorded three tackles (one solo), two passes defensed, and had a key fourth quarter pick-six in the 25-17 win over the Seahawks. (LA Chargers)

Fantasy Impact:

King returned a Russell Wilson interception 42 yards to give the Chargers a late 25-10 lead. The 2017 fifth-rounder became just the sixth player in NFL history to record multiple pick-sixes and at least four sacks over the first two seasons of his career. King now has 27 tackles, three interceptions, six passes defensed, and two fumble recoveries in eight games (four starts) this season.
