The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... At the moment, Marvin McNutt and Tavarres King are a little bit of a punch line. They’re hoping to show they can be more than that. They’re the Panthers receiving corps at the moment, and they hope their unknown status doesn’t last long. Their names have become synonymous in Charlotte with the exodus of every living receiver with experience, a joke which they have grown accustomed with in recent days. “That’s expected. I didn’t play last year,” King told the Charlotte Observer.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
King added: “The fans didn’t know anything about me. It’s expected that they say that. That doesn’t bother me at all. They’ll know who I am this year. ..." Fantasy football owners will certainly want to be aware, because as PFT's Darin Gantt notes, the Panthers have some degree of expectation for the pair of them. They claimed King off waivers from the Broncos, who cut the fifth-round pick to make a roster spot for Von Miller. McNutt was claimed off the Dolphins practice squad last year, and almost had a catch, but was out of bounds for what would have been a touchdown in the regular season finale. ... They'll need to step up.
In case you missed it, the Panthers have six receivers on the roster at the moment, who have a combined five catches for 83 yards and a touchdown. All the stats are from former Jaguar Toney Clemons and former fifth-rounder Kealoha Pilares, but McNutt and King have the upside of the group.
