6 years agoNew England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead will go up against a Lions defense that, through two games, has allowed the fifth most fantasy points to opposing runners. Burkhead is off to a quiet start this season and a concussion has limited his involvement right out of the gate. The Patriots offense has an opportunity to put up some points against Detroit so they could be running the ball a lot in the later stages of the game. Burkhead should see more than the six carries he received in Week 2 against the Jaguars but will have to split playing time with rookie Sony Michel and veteran James White. Burkhead is the most likely of the three to score a touchdown and will have RB3/4 status for Week 3.--Joey C - RotoBaller
