6 years agoNew England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead returned to the lineup in Week 13 with 41 yards from scrimmage against the Vikings. Burkhead was activated from IR after recovering from a neck injury and his legs certainly looked fresh. Burkhead has an excellent matchup this week against a Dolphins defense that is allowing the fifth most fantasy points to opposing running backs. But Burkhead's role right now is a change-of-pace back behind rookie Sony Michel and veteran James White. Burkhead could be in line for 5-to-10 carries in the game but is not ready for fantasy lineups in Week 14.--Joey C - RotoBaller
