What Titans adding Dion Lewis could mean to Derrick Henry
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The presumption when the Titans released DeMarco Murray was that Derrick Henry would assume the mantle as the team’s lead running back.
With Dion Lewis incoming as a free-agent acquisition, we may need to reassess.
Ultimately Mike Vrabel, Matt LaFleur and Tony Dews will determine deployment.
But in less than 24 hours after Lewis-to-Tennessee came to light, a film analyst, an analytics expert and a fantasy expert all looked at the move and concluded Lewis will, or should, get work on early downs, not just on third down.

.@gregcosell on @Midday180: I imagine @DionLewisRB will be more of the primary ballcarrier for the #Titans in the style of offense that Matt LaFleur is going to run, and @KingHenry_2 would be the complementary guy.
