3 years agoRunning back Rex Burkhead should remain the lead back on early downs this week for the Houston Texans against the Jets in Week 12. The departure of running back Phillip Lindsay further cemented Burkhead's role. While David Johnson should get the passing-down work, it will be Burkhead who should see the majority of the rushing attempts. The game script may be in his favor, but that is the only positive. The Jets are a bad football team, but the Texans offensive line is in disarray, and Burkhead hasn't shown much explosiveness to this point. He's an emergency streamer in deep leagues but nothing more.--Jacob Taylor
