Patriots' Rex Burkhead (foot) expected to play in Week 8
New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead is expected to be active for Week 8's game against the Cleveland Browns.
What It Means:
Burkhead was last active for the Patriots in Week 4 against the Buffalo Bills. It seems like his time on the sideline is set to end after missing three games with a foot injury. He returns to a backfield already utilizing multiple running backs, with Sony Michel, James White, and Brandon Bolden already receiving weekly touches.
Our models project Burkhead for 2.5 touches and 2.2 FanDuel points in his Week 8 return. He is priced at $5,300.
