Fantasy Impact:

The Texans could have gone a plethora of different ways with this pick as they had needs throughout their roster. Ultimately however, the pre-draft chatter proved true and Stingley was the selection made in order to start rebuilding the secondary. Stingley was an immediate star in LSU in 2019, but since then has shown some inconsistencies however the upside is undeniable. Over the last two years Stingley only played in 10 games, but offers a long and athletic option in the secondary that can fit in a variety of zone coverages.
