6 years agoNew England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead is expected to be the third back behind teammates James White and Sony Michel when the team opens up their season next Sunday night. Burkhead has carved out a nice role for himself in the offense over the past few seasons but health is always a major factor with the veteran. When healthy, Burkhead is dangerous in the check-down passing game and in the red zone. He certainly could steal some prime carries from Michel and his value will best be deployed in PPR leagues to open the season.--Joey C - RotoBaller
