Rex Burkhead Expected To Play Against Browns
5 years agoNew England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (foot), who has missed the last three games, is expected to be active in Week 8 against the Browns, according to a source. That's bad news for both Sony Michel and James White, although Burkhead might still just be fighting for scraps as third on the team's running back depth chart. The 29-year-old has run the ball 24 times for 112 yards and a touchdown and has caught 14 passes for 117 yards. If this game remains competitive, it's unlikely that Burkhead will rack up enough snaps or touches to be anything more than a low-end RB3/flex in deep PPR leagues.
