Rex Burkhead Leads Texans Backfield
2 years agoHouston Texans running back Rex Burkhead carried the ball 14 times in Sunday's tie with the Indianapolis Colts, finishing with 40 yards on the ground. He was targeted eight times in the pass game, catching five balls for 30 yards. There were questions about how this backfield would shake out between Burkhead and Dameon Pierce, and so far, it looks like Houston is relying on the veteran Burkhead. His heavy involvement makes him an intriguing waiver wire target this week.
