If it's an obvious passing situation then there's really no difference between a flex TE and a slot receiver. He doesn't need to gain any weight to play in the slot.
I don't know what the fascination is of having production from the TE position just for the sake of having production from the TE position. If you bring in a really good TE then you'll get the production. Until then, just get your best weapons on the field. If Stephens is one of the best weapons then I'm all for having him on the field. Whether he's labeled as a TE or not while he's out there is completely irrelevant.
Coaches have made it abundantly clear that we desire a good pass catching TE. The problem is that all that we’ve successfully recruited have been busts/.
