Pats' Rex Burkhead projected for minimal touches on Super Bowl Sunday

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead is projected by numberFire to see minimal work against the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl.

What It Means:

Burkhead has seen a total of 7 touches in his last 2 games as he has dealt with a knee injury. His absence was allowed Dion Lewis to take a stranglehold on the backfield work in New England. James White also is slated to see more plays than Burkhead, who will see the occasional carry to spell White and Lewis.

Our models project Burkhead for 5.2 touches, 26.4 total yards, and 0.3 touchdowns for 4.9 FanDuel points on Sunday.
