Rex Burkhead Splits Workload In Week 12 Loss To Jets
3 years agoHouston Texans running back Rex Burkhead was expected to see the majority of the rushing attempts while David Johnson was expected to fill the pass-game role. However, Burkhead saw only 12 of the 24 total rushing attempts for only 27 yards in the Week 12 loss to the New York Jets. He also saw three targets that he converted into three receptions for 27 yards. Johnson's role was much larger than most expected, as he evenly split touches with Burkhead. Burkhead's value moving forward is non-existent as long as he is splitting touches in one of the worst offenses in the NFL.
