7 years agoNew England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead is likely to open the season as the team's goal-line back after he served in that role at times in 2017. Rookie Sony Michel will see his opportunities, but he also fumbled 12 times in college and must prove himself from a ball-security standpoint first. Mike Gillislee and Jeremy Hill are others to consider at the goal line. As always, New England's backfield will be tough to predict on a week-by-week basis, but Burkhead will surely have some value as a PPR flex.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
