Rex Burkhead Still In The Backfield Mix
5 years agoNew England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead should still factor into the timeshare in the Patriots backfield when the team opens camp at the end of the month. Burkhead missed the first half of last season with a neck injury but when he came back became an integral part of the offensive attack. He scored three touchdowns in the playoffs was on the field for 60 of the teams 252 offensive snaps (23.5%) in the postseason. If healthy, expect more of the same for Burkhead, a player that can catch the ball out of the backfield and excels on swing routes. Burkhead is in no way, currently, projected to be a fantasy starter but is a handcuff candidate for teammate Sony Michel.
