Past Fantasy Outlooks
2012
2011
2010
Stephens started 2011 scoring eight touchdowns in the first five games before a knee injury knocked him out for the remainder of the season. If his knee is fully healed at the start of the season, he could continue to find the endzone, but it's not clear heading into the fall just where he is in his recovery. There generally doesn't seem to be much panic surrounding Stephens' status, though, so perhaps he'll be ready. If he is, he needs to be owned in all leagues.
Stephens' workload isn't very safe, as Texas Tech has tons of options at running back, but he is nonetheless the favorite to inherit the workload previously held by Baron Batch. If Stephens can hold off his competition, he should prove to be a valuable fantasy commodity in all formats, as Texas Tech's offense moves into scoring position with regular frequency.
Stephens is a major fumble worry, but he has a great deal of skill as a runner. He averaged 5.18 yards per carry as a freshman last year, totaling 254 yards and two touchdowns on the ground to go with 113 yards and a touchdown through the air. He also averaged 25.72 yards per kick return. But the fumbles need to stop if he's going to hold off Harrison Jeffers from getting the backup running back spot.
