Rex Burkhead Fails To Build On Momentum
3 years agoHouston Texans running back Rex Burkhead failed to build on his 100-yard performance from last week. He was only able to manage 47 yards rushing on 16 attempts while adding six receptions for 32 yards against the 49ers. All in all, it wasn't a terrible day for Burkhead, considering his solid PPR score. That said, running back David Johnson did miss this game, which allowed Burkhead to receive the vast majority of the touches at running back. Burkhead needs Johnson to miss next week in order to be playable, and even in that scenario, he will be a low-end RB2, at best.
