If he can catch 4-6 balls per game and rush for another 5-7 than in ppr I’d be happy, especially if he gets some goal line looks. The concern aside from injuries is really Michel and if he eats some of those touches. Link to post Share on other sites

Jeremy Hill looked 10x better than Rex out there on his 5-6 touches. He was well on his way to an awesome game before getting hurt. I say shop him before potentially Sony Michel blows up and Rex has zero value. All that said, I wonder what they would do if Rex missed significant time AND Michel got hurt? Seems like a possibility given these guys' history. Guessing this is a very small league. I grabbed him at the end of R5 and I can't imagine dropping my fifth-round pick that quickly. I need to see several games worth of action before I can label someone a bust. Link to post Share on other sites

He was my 7th pick. In all fairness I've got Conner and Michel plus others so I could care less about Burkhead. But I can see if people are hurting at RB maybe it's not an option.

You dropped your 7th round pick after 1 week, cringe. Connor is on an expiring clock so I hope you have great depth as it’s a long season with plenty of injuries. Link to post Share on other sites

I drafted him as a "zero RB" week 1 filler and I didn't need him; so far I have been proven correct. He was ineffective and already hurt. You guys are delusional if you think he's gonna return RB1 value. Link to post Share on other sites

You drafted him in the 7th yourself, if that’s what you thought than you were destined to be disappointed from the start. Still though one week in, I think dropping him is an overreaction.

It's a lame answer but the reality is we have to wait and see. If Burkhead is healthy and getting in that 12 to 15 touch range, he's at least an RB3. The key is how active he is in the pass game.

Grand total of 14 designed runs in the last meeting with the Jags in january. Unlikely the Patriots will be interested in running the ball vs Jags Link to post Share on other sites
cousinal111 214 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 People jumping the gun everywhere after 1 week. Some must have never owned a Patriots RB. Link to post Share on other sites
Bmore86 267 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Personally feel even when Michel is back that Burkhead will be the Pats preferred goal line option with Hill broken. I think that’s the role he played last year when he was a rb2 on a ppg basis and can see Michel sliding into the Dion role with White remaining White. Link to post Share on other sites

SITG 48 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 If he plays I think I’ll be starting him over Jamaal Williams. His ypc wasn’t great in week 1, but I expect him getting used in the passing game more tomorrow. Pats had a strong lead throughout the game last week, but I expect the jaguars to keep it closer or potentially be ahead at times which will prompt more Burkhead receptions. Also, it bears repeating that Brady just overthrew him on a TD pass in week 1. If that play connected he would’ve had 80+ yards and a TD, and everyone would be hyping him as a low end RB1. As long as Michel doesn’t explode with his carries (and I don’t expect the pats to suddenly shift duties to a rookie rb with knee and ball security issues), then Burkhead has great value as a member of one of the best offenses in the NFL who is looking at 15-20 touches per game.

Pigskingpin 80 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 The Pats are gonna be scheming hard against that deadly Jacksonville D so if Rex plays I'm firing him up in my flex. Also it should be raining so they are gonna run the ball plenty. Link to post Share on other sites
