Rex Burkhead Expected To Play In AFC Title Game
7 years agoNew England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (knee), who hasn't played since Dec. 17 due to a knee sprain, is expected to play against the Jaguars in the AFC title game next weekend, according to a source. A lot will depend on how much Burkhead does in practice this week, so keep an eye on his status. Dion Lewis will remain the lead back in this backfield and is the most attractive DFS play, but Burkhead's return would lower the ceiling for Lewis' owners. Burkhead may be limited if he returns, though, so James White, who had two touchdowns in the Divisional Round, may still be involved quite a bit.
