Rex Burkhead (ribs) not practicing for Patriots Wednesday

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (ribs) is not practicing Wednesday.

What It Means:

Burkhead saw five touches in the first half of Week 2 and scored on one of them, but he was not involved in the second half and eventually exited in the fourth quarter. Dion Lewis would likely see more playing time if Burkhead can't play against the Houston Texans in Week 3.

If he's active, numberFire's models project Burkhead to score 4.7 FanDuel points at a cost of $5,400 in Week 3 while totaling 26.7 offensive yards and 0.23 touchdowns on 5.4 touches (1.4 receptions), making him the RB65 in our weekly fantasy rankings.
