Initial 53-man roster prediction for RB
Here’s our prediction for how things will shake out for the running back position after training camp and the preseason conclude.
RB1 | Derrick Henry |
RB2 | Darrynton Evans |
RB3/FB | Khari Blasingame |
While the Titans carried four backs into the regular season in 2019, they ended up with just three on the roster at the end of the campaign in Henry, Lewis and Blasingame. I think that will be the approach to start 2020 as long as Evans doesn’t struggle in camp.
With Henry soaking up so many touches and Evans being a capable player behind him, there’s no need to carry another running back. A run-heavy team like the Titans would be better served carrying an extra blocker like Blasingame and saving the roster spot for another position.
If I’m wrong, I could see the Titans carrying Perry on the roster as a third running back due to his ability to be a returner, also.
