Rex Burkhead Surprisingly Limited Thursday
3 years agoHouston Texans running back Rex Burkhead (hip, quadriceps) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday after being held out on Wednesday. Head coach David Culley also said on Wednesday that Burkhead wouldn't be active in Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which is why it's a bit strange that he was on the practice field a day later. Unless the Texans go back on their word on Burkhead's availability for this weekend, fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to play. David Johnson, who was inactive last week, should split the backfield workload with Royce Freeman if Burkhead is indeed inactive. Johnson should be the go-to guy on early downs, but in this anemic Texans offense, fantasy managers shouldn't be counting on him as anything more than a low-upside RB3/flex in deeper leagues.
