Rex Burkhead Expected To Be Top Ball Carrier
6 years agoNew England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (knee) is expected to be the team's top ball carrier in Week 1 against the Texans, in the opinion of NESN's Doug Kyed. Burkhead will be active this Sunday, but the question is how much work will he see? There have been reports that he'll be eased into things alongside James White and Jeremy Hill. That could be true, but Burkhead is still the best fantasy bet for this game with rookie Sony Michel (knee) looking unlikely to play. Consider Burkhead an RB3/flex choice for the season opener.
