Rex Burkhead, Mike Gillislee Not Expected To Play
7 years agoNew England Patriots running backs Rex Burkhead (knee) and Mike Gillislee (knee), who are both listed as questionable, are not expected to play in the Divisional Round against the Titans on Saturday, according to sources. That would leave Dion Lewis as the primary workhorse back for the Patriots, with James White the top passing back. Burkhead hasn't played since injuring his knee Dec. 17 against the Steelers, and his absence will give New England's offense less versatility. Lewis is the obvious DFS play in this backfield, while White is a sleeper selection in PPR formats.
