Running back: 11th

Derrick Henry finished the season exceptionally well last year with a historic December. Everyone remembers the domination in Jacksonville, but it felt a lot like those Chris Johnson years where you would look up and the running back had 100 yards and you really didn’t even notice it.

When every run is a homerun threat you tend to lose excitement over the doubles, but for Tennessee Titans fans I think more doubles and less strike outs for the running backs would be a huge improvement.

While Henry is a driving force behind this ranking, it is important to remember that Dion Lewis actually had a solid year as a balanced back. However, the lack of any real highlight play and the struggles of the offense took a lot of shine off of the apple nationally.

David Fluellen, Jeremy McNichols and Alex Barnes will all compete for a spot behind those two, but if the Tennessee Titans get anything from those guys it will be icing on the cake with one of the best RB duos in the NFL.
