Rex Burkhead Catches Touchdown In Week 4
2 years agoHouston Texans running back Rex Burkhead was targeted five times in Sunday's loss to the Chargers, catching all five passes for 39 yards and a touchdown. But Burkhead didn't see a single touch in the run game, as all 14 carries for the team went to Dameon Pierce. Burkhead's receiving work would make him a potential dart throw in deep leagues if it was accompanied with just a little bit of rushing work, but Burkhead now has a total of three carries over the last three games. This is Dameon Pierce's backfield. For now, all Burkhead is doing is taking targets away from players who might otherwise have more upside.
