Geno Stone Fantasy

The Houston Texans claimed former Ravens safety Geno Stone off waivers on Tuesday, according to a source. There was a chance that Stone would've landed back on Baltimore's practice squad if he hadn't been claimed. Stone was a seventh-round pick of the Ravens this year and played in just two games, mainly on special teams, with Baltimore before being let go. The signing is mainly just a depth one for Houston at this juncture of the season, and Stone could wind up being used solely on special teams. The Texans Defense, in particular their secondary, could use all the help they can get, though. Houston has allowed the seventh-most passing yards (4,107) through 16 weeks in 2020.

The Baltimore Ravens selected Iowa safety Geno Stone with the 219th overall pick of the NFL Draft in the seventh round. Stone's size (5-foot-10, 207 pounds) and arms don't jump off the page, but he's naturally instinctive in the secondary with good recognition skills. He plays his best in two-high zone and in the box to support the run defense, but he can't cover enough ground to be put on an island at the next level. If anything, Stone will excel in coming up to stop the run if he sticks with Baltimore.
