3 years agoHouston Texans running back Rex Burkhead surprisingly split the workload in Week 14 against the Seattle Seahawks. David Johnson was a surprise inactive this week, which was expected to give Burkhead a stranglehold on the Houston backfield. Instead, Royce Freeman reappeared with a near-even split with Burkhead. Burkhead managed 11 carries for 40 yards rushing and four catches for 26 yards. This backfield remains a timeshare no matter who is out there, and Johnson should return to add another body next week. As long as that remains the case, no one from this backfield is viable in fantasy as anything more than a desperation RB4/flex.--Jacob Taylor
