Rex Burkhead To Be Eased In
6 years agoNew England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (knee) has been cleared to play in Week 1 against the Texans, but he's expected to be eased into the mix with an acclimation process that needs to take place. Rookie Sony Michel (knee) will be questionable for the season opener, so it's possible the Pats lean more on James White and Jeremy Hill. Burkhead is still the most attractive fantasy option, but he'll be a risky flex play.
