3 years agoHouston Texans running back Rex Burkhead had a career day in Week 16 in the big upset over the Los Angeles Chargers. Burkhead carried the ball 22 times for 149 yards and two touchdowns. It was the best day Burkhead has produced in a long time. He was able to take advantage of the 31st-ranked run defense in DVOA. Next week, Burkhead and the Texans will face the 49ers second-ranked run defense in DVOA. The matchup will be tough, and Burkhead is very unlikely to repeat Sunday's performance. He is a low-end RB2 moving forward and could be sharing more backfield touches if David Johnson (quadriceps) is able to return.--Jacob Taylor
