After a productive campaign with the Patriots, Dion Lewis signed a nice deal with the Tennessee Titans, where he is expected to compete with Derrick Henry in the Titans' backfield.
Early camp reports indicate that Henry and Lewis are filling the lead back role interchangeably.
First team RB snaps by personnel grouping:
11
Henry 8
Lewis 12
12
Henry 10
Lewis 7
Both caught passes, but Dion still in more on passing looks more often. #Titans #TitansCamp

Now that we see Lewis is mixing in on early downs and controlling passing downs, we should feel much more confident about his role (while also being scared of Henry at his current cost). Add in the fact that Lewis has been a really good runner in short-yardage situations, and Lewis could be in for a sizable chunk of valuable touches.
