Rex Burkhead (knee) to return for Patriots versus Jaguars
New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (questionable, knee) will be active for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Burkhead hasn't played since injuring his knee in Week 15 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. Dion Lewis will remain the lead runner in the Patriots' backfield but Burkhead provides the offense with more versatility, particularly near the end zone, evidenced by his 5 touchdowns inside the five-yard line this season (10 games).
numberFire's models project Burkhead to score 9.3 FanDuel points at a cost of $6,000 in the AFC title game, with 29.9 rushing yards, 24.7 receiving yards, and 0.44 touchdowns.
