6 years agoNew England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead led the way in the team's first 11-on-11 drill of the season, catching three passes from quarterback Tom Brady. Burkhead has been an important role player for the Patriots the past few seasons but he missed significant time last season with a neck injury. When healthy, Burkhead is a valuable weapon catching the ball out of the backfield and excels at swing passes in the red zone. He will be competing for touches in a crowded backfield with Sony Michel, James White and rookie Damien Harris. It is very early in the process but a healthy Burkhead could put him on the fringes of fantasy relevance.--Joey C - RotoBaller
