Rex Burkhead (RB, CIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16- and 18-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Burkhead actually beat out Jeremy Hill with 38 snaps to Hill’s 37, though there was that little bit where Hill appeared hurt after being awkwardly bent on a tackle. Hill ended up being okay of course, though his 21 rushing yards on 12 carries wouldn’t have you think so. Burkhead’s 29 rushing yards beat Hill’s total, and Rex only needed five carries to do so. Burkhead also caught both of his targets for 19 yards, a factor that may come into play next week when the Bengals watered-down offense has to find a way to beat the Eagles. After that they get to face the Browns though!
