6 years agoNew England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead returned to the lineup in Week 13 with seven carries for 20 yards and 21 receiving yards against the Vikings. Burkhead has missed most of the season due to a neck injury but his legs looked fresh as he ran with authority. It is hard to envision a scenario where Burkhead suddenly becomes the bell-cow in the Patriots backfield but his presence should eat into Sony Michel and James White's opportunities moving forward. Burkhead could be worth a waiver add this week but will be a low-floor, touchdown-dependent fantasy option heading into Week 14.--Joey C - RotoBaller
