Rex Burkhead Could Steal Touches In Week 2 Backfield
5 years agoNew England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead will try and replicate a productive Week 1 performance this Sunday against the Dolphins. Burkhead led the Patriots with 44 rushing yards and added five catches for 41 yards. He will go up against a Dolphins Defense in Week 2 that allowed a combined 34.9 fantasy points to opposing running backs last week. Teammate Sony Michel is, by far, the most talented runner in the Patriots backfield but Burkhead will certainly see his share. The veteran could be looking at 10-15 touches once again, especially if the Patriots build a huge lead early.
