Marquez Stevenson

Stevenson investors were worried that his production would fall off a cliff once D’Eriq King announced that he was sitting the final eight games of the season to preserve a redshirt. That didn’t happen at all, however, and Stevenson came close to matching his 2018 production despite that massive shakeup. He finished 2019 with 40 fewer yards and the same amount of touchdowns as he did in 2018, with the only major dip coming in his reception total, which fell from 67 to 52 in the regular season. This will be Year 2 in the Dana Holgorsen offense and Houston has room to improve, and that could result in Stevenson reaching another level of production. At the very least, Stevenson should challenge for 30 percent of the target share and bring high efficiency on a per-target basis. Drafters should be comfortable with Stevenson as a high-end WR2 with potential for fringe WR1 upside.
