2025 Fantasy Outlook
Stephens signed a three-year, $36 million contract with the Jets in the offseason, and he'll compete with rookie third-round pick Azareye'h Thomas for the outside cornerback spot opposite Sauce Gardner, which was vacated by D.J. Reed's departure. Stephens had at least 70 tackles in three of four seasons with the Ravens and racked up 21 passes defensed over the past two campaigns. Stephens struggled in coverage in 2024, but new Jets head coach Aaron Glenn played CB in the NFL and is hoping to coax a bounce-back campaign out of the 27-year-old free-agent signing.

Stephens (neck) is active for Sunday's game against the Jets in London.
ANALYSIS
Stephens was added to the Jets' injury report Friday after he was a limited participant in the team's final Week 6 practice due to the neck issue, but it won't prevent him from suiting up Sunday. The 27-year-old defensive back has played all but one of the Jets' defensive snaps through the first five games of the season, totaling 29 tackles and four passes defensed.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Stephens has gone from being a third-round developmental prospect into a key cog in the Baltimore secondary. The 26-year-old played 1,154 snaps in 2023, ranking third among defensive backs in the NFL. He turned those opportunities into 74 tackles, two interceptions, and a career-best 11 passes defended. Stephens enters a contract year on an upward trajectory and stands to be an every-down player despite Baltimore's defensive coordinator change.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could lose job to rookie
CBNew York Jets
July 27, 2025
Eric Edholm of NFL.com believes Stephens could cede the starting cornerback role to rookie third-round pick Azareye'h Thomas.
ANALYSIS
The Jets signed Stephens to a three-year, $36 million contract in March with the intention of starting him on the outside opposite Sauce Gardner, but Stephens was plagued in OTAs by the same coverage issues that limited his effectiveness with the Ravens, namely struggling to get his head around in time to play the ball. Thomas has reportedly outperformed Stephens thus far in practice and is making a push to relegate the veteran to a reserve role.
