Billed as a toolsy prospect, Levis failed to show almost any rushing or big passing play upside during his final season at Kentucky in 2022. Some of that has been attributed to a lack of talent around him and a coaching change, but make no mistake - Levis is a developmental prospect. Unless Ryan Tannehill gets injured again or the Titans fall out of contention (something that hasn't happened in the Mike Vrabel era), Levis is unlikely to make a Fantasy impact in 2023. In one-QB rookie-only drafts, he's worth considering in Round 3, while two-QB formats could take him in Round 2.

Titans' Will Levis: Back at practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Levis (lower body) returned to practice Wednesday and expects to play in Friday's preseason finale against the Patriots, Ben Arthur of Fox Sports reports.
Levis missed Tennessee's second preseason game, but the rookie second-round pick still has a chance to beat out second-year pro Malik Willis in the battle for the backup job behind starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Willis didn't help his case with Levis out, throwing for just 85 yards while playing the entire game against the Vikings on Aug. 19.

Titans' Will Levis: Struggles in preseason debut
Rotowire
Levis completed nine of 14 pass attempts for 85 yards and one interception in Tennessee's preseason game against Chicago on Saturday.
Levis played off the bench while Malik Willis started, but the two went on to rotate between several series at a time. Preseason rarely offers conclusive insights and this game is no exception, so it's probably best not to read into the results too much. With that said, it seems Levis fared a little more poorly than Willis, who completed 16 of 25 pass attempts for 189 yards and one interception while adding 22 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Both quarterbacks badly struggled with managing the pass rush, yet Willis' four sacks versus 25 pass attempts doesn't look quite as bad as Levis' four sacks versus 14 pass attempts. The competition to back up Ryan Tannehill figures to go on between Levis and Willis for some time.

Titans' Will Levis: Working with third-string offense
Rotowire
Levis has been running the third-string offense in practice while Malik Willis is working with the second-string offense, Joe Rexrode of The Athletic reports.
Levis still has an uphill climb to win the backup spot behind Ryan Tannehill. However, the 33rd overall selection in the 2023 NFL Draft has been closing ground and could potentially leapfrog Willis with a strong performance in the preseason, starting with Saturday's game against the Bears. Willis was drafted in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, and while he started three games as a rookie, he struggled to a 0:3 TD:INT. Rexrode notes that Levis is far ahead of where Willis was at this point as a rookie.

Titans' Will Levis: Winning over teammates
Rotowire
Levis has had an inconsistent rookie training camp but has shown leadership qualities, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Wyatt reported a specific story during two-minute drills Friday, when Levis scrambled up the middle for a nice gain. Derrick Henry was quick to congratulate him on the play, which Wyatt used as an example of the rookie winning over some of the veterans on the team. Levis is in competition with Malik Willis for the backup quarterback job, though that likely won't be settled until at least a couple of preseason games occur.
